Subject: is it worth it?

This is the average H2 Fanboy.
Xfire: JacobGRocks.
50 in H2/H3? Great, but you still fail at this.

Yeah, MW2 will probably still be better than h2pc, as i can just get the 360 version instead.

And the reason why i said HL was good, is because it is a classic FPS which is also hard to beat and it also has loads of mods like Sven co op or NS. And it also is bug free.

REAl FPS PLAYERS??
ARE YOU -blam!- JOKING?
LOL!!!

Your validity. Going....going......

GONE.

Explain yourself. Go ahead. I honestly don't think you can, but feel free to give it a try. Try making a damn counter point instead of smearing the forum with stupidity like you did in your last post. And before you talk about validity, make sure you know wtf you're talking about. K, kid?

Go ahead. I'm waiting.


You want it mother -blam!-? alright. I'll bite.

THESE ARE JUS GAMES. The whole term "real fps player" is the most conveluted BS I've ever seen from a fat 45 year old on a computer puking onto his keyboard. It's the very concept of the term. REAL fps player? Seriously? What the -blam!- is a FAKE fps player? Since when did any gamer's social status mean anything anyway? What? Are you telling me you're a REAL FPS player? CONGRATS!! You're on top of the -blam!- pile! CONGRADU-blam!-LATIONS!!!

Yeah. That's right. I don't have a 50 in H3. I never got Onyx in Reach. If a game sucks too much, I won't even bother trying for such trivial "accolades". Besides, I've done way more things that take far more skill and talent than anything that can be done in a video game.

Or a 23-year-old that's achieved more than you ever could in your entire life? Sit, boy.

A real FPS player relies on his own skill to get kills. A fake FPS player relies on auto-aim, massive hotbixes, "power weapons," and glitches to get his kills. Hence, a real FPS player has skill, whereas a Halo 2oob like you has NONE.

Since when did any gamer's social status mean anything anyway?

Since forever. The worst of it being that crapfest called MLG. Before that, though, it wasn't all that bad.

What? Are you telling me you're a REAL FPS player?

Yup. Among other things. But you're obviously only worthy of one title: Failure.

I'd figure someone who would be on the top of said pile would be one who can't even get his point across without looking clinically retarded. You, for instance.

Again, it's just a game. You're better at it than other people, sure, but that doesn't make you better in LIFE at all. How you could miss the whole point of that is beyond me.

The fact that you're talking about how you're 23 and have "accomplished" so much is hilarious. I'm 16, and even I know that 23 is NOTHING. You're just a kid who can legally drink.

I mean LOOK AT YOU! You're talking about how much better you are than me simple because of your skill, and all your comebacks can be watered down to what is essentially "no u"

Face it. In this world, pulling off a noscope means nothing to anyone outside our little boy-club.

I know that. But I have plenty of other things that make me better and life. The point is, I keep 'em separate. I know full well that my gaming performance has no bearing on real life. But it has bearing in concept of gaming itself.

And gtfo out his parents house, find a job, go to college, and be self-reliant, not to mention immerse myself in my various hobbies and interests. Missed those parts, I see. You'll figure 'em out someday. Maybe.

At gaming, I'm better than you. Judging by your piss-poor insults, I can safely assume that for other aspects as well.

Good, because no-scopes are childsplay in a game like Halo 2. Compare it to sniping in TF2, where, unlike in Halo 2, you actually gotta hit the head for it to be a headshot. Not mention how much more skill it takes when the game doesn't do the aiming for you. ;)

Dusk you forgot to add the fact you're in a band and are doing a solo music project :P

And that one of my more recent remixes garnered the respect of award-winning composer Jesper Kyd, and the fact that my new band is opening for nationally-touring acts like Jacobi Wichita and Ice Nine Kills, as well as the fact that my music will be featured in a game created by the original developer of OpenBOR, not to mention all four of my musical projects have resulted in listeners from as far as China. But I decided to omit that, cause I figured it might hurt his feelings if he couldn't pretend I'm a lazy 45-year-old fat guy.

But ya know what? Screw his feelings. Let it be known, master piraka, that your Halo 2oob ass could easily be handed to you in any REAL FPS by a guy who has almost no time for video games.

And yes, I used that term again. Go buy a copy of TF2 and learn wtf I'm talking about; That game will let ya know real fast.

Fair enough.

And gtfo out his parents house, find a job, go to college, and be self-reliant, not to mention immerse myself in my various hobbies and interests. Missed those parts, I see. You'll figure 'em out someday. Maybe.

Why even bring that up? You know damn well I can't legally move anywhere at this age. And I actually am going to college courses, studying editing and film direction. you know what? I've got hobbies too. Yeah, it turns out, I sculpt, draw, animate, AND compose music :/ Not like you care, but it helps to know someone before you bash them before you assume something and turn out to be completely wrong.


At gaming, I'm better than you. Judging by your piss-poor insults, I can safely assume that for other aspects as well.


Yeah, because that's what counts in the long run, huh? Who can be the better pretentious -blam!-?

Very true. It's easy as hell on the PC though.

Final response: Who cares? Honestly, the fact that we both have a B.net account proves we're BOTH immature stupid -blam!-s. Your elitism and indefensibly immense ego sure doesn't help YOUR case. So drop it.


On a totally unrelated note, why's there a sniping crosshair on the unscoped rifle on the PC version, but not the console version?

Also, congrats on your music, but the boast really means nothing. One of my sketches has been noticed and "recognised" by Derek Riggs, the artist who draws the covers of Iron Maiden albums. You ain't special.

I have never actually succesfully gotten it to work on vista... That's the sad part. But other than that, its an amazing game. I have it for my 360 and it is a blast to play (when some a-hole is not spawnkilling, then it can get so frustrating...)

and i have a question of my own: How in the world does one start a thread on this site???? They seem to have hidden the "create new thread" button quite conveniently.... Maybe I should just go to ubuntu forums...

Damn. That was something, not going to lie. Talk about being blown away, I never actually thought someone such as yourself would ever be found here especially as of late- even if all that was a lie, bravo good sir. That was an well argued case against someone who is fairly good at arguing cases. /salute

I just bought Halo 2 Vista. I'll be getting into making maps and assets for it, so that's why I bought it.

I love Halo 2 anyway, played it from day 1 on Xbox, so I know I'll like it.

Huh, wow. I never thought a ninja would visit this little out-of-site corner of B.net.

And congratulations on the flame war Dusk. Nice work /sarcasm. Besides what's wrong with a little auto-aim these days?? Makes using my favorite power weapon, the shotgun, a lot easier to use.

But seriously, does it really matter? You can argue the point all you want, and if in the end you still find that you don't like it, feel free to stop playing. And comparing the population of a two year old PC game with the expected population of a new PC game is ridiculous. For a game that no longer has support and is a two year old port of a four year old xbox game, I personally think it is doing pretty damn well. So enjoy your TF2, your elitism, and your REAL FPS players, but just don't bring it into here to start a flame war. Please.

Okay, well compare it to Counter-Strike Source then, that should be more fair for H2V right? Also Vista is only a couple months older than TF2.It's doing so damn well that, it's predecessor has a lot more value in it. Besides Halo PC having a bad net code and having to lead your shots, and the graphics are extremely dated. Halo is still kicking around. Maybe if Microsoft patched the games many broken components, mouse lag, that I and many others experience and frame rate issues and also allowed the mod community to actually mod, It could become a decent FPS, but either than that it fails compared to all great FPS on the PC

50 in H2/H3? Great, but you still fail at this.

H2V would have been better if it didn't have more glitches than the xbox version. The mouse is laggy, and live has issues connecting, for instance.

I did. I just prefer to correct idiots who think it takes skill to play the game. If someone's obviously wrong on any subject, it's good practice to correct them.

Posted by: Scarecrow118

Ok. Compare it to UT '99, then. Or is comparing an old game like that to Halo 2 also "ridiculous?"

'Cept older games have populations outnumbering H2V's at least 10 to 1. But other than that...

Sigh. What don't you understand? People aren't playing Halo 2 for the "real FPS experience" they are playing it because they enjoy the game. Your opinion, no matter how well worded or thought out or even right, is going to change the minds of the people here.

And when I was talking about the auto-aim, I was joking. :( I wish sarcasm could be picked up....

And no-one here was talking about the skill it required to play the game. The initial thread was about whether or not is was worth buying, and you turned it into a battle between Halo 2 and TF2.

If we are ignorant in your eyes, then let us be. You don't have to play god and show us what is "true" or "real". We have our opinions and you have yours. Just let this be.
