Lol, I judge a lot of games like that.
That's why I used to say half life sucks. But actually its a pretty good game.

I like how sometimes you can stick yourself on your own leg, but most of the time it will randomly go through it.

The less than a second latency of online play is a better system to play off of than more health.

You realize this system is just as host based, right? because if you're fighting host, or someone with a better connection to host, and you each start firing at the same time, his BULLETS will register first, giving him slightly more health if the melees happen at the same time.

So would you rather have the BS of both, or just one?

Yes, yes, I remember spending a whole lot of time when halo 2 first came out just looking at my avatar's feet. Just running around after a fight, trying like crazy to shoot/ stick/ melee myself.

I cannot seem to think of many notable games I have played that let you look down and see that (though it doesn't hurt gameplay to not have it in there).

My problems [with Reach] are basically just full parties, mlg, and people who go out of their way not to get killed.

It excels at way more than just feet.

I would call it detail, not realism. No game offers realism (sorry CoD fans, but your game is not realistic).

This body holding me reminds me of my own mortality.
Embrace this moment. Remember. We are eternal.
All this pain is an illusion.

Not every CoD player claims it to be realistic, we just claim it to be more realistic than Halo. :P


It's a good thing realism does not equal fun.

Your definition of fun and my definition of fun are obviously different.


All humans have the same definition of fun. We're built to be stimulated by certain things.

SOME human beings are just uptight uncreative bastards who want to play boring ass simulations.

But...

In the original Halo game you couldn't see your feet.

But you could still stick yourself oddly.

You are saying Call of Duty is a creative and original game whilst Halo is a "boring ass simulation"?

First off, Call of Duty games have been around forever. Medal of Honor is pretty much no different. I'm tired of playing World War II. Sorry, but I've stormed the beaches 20+ times. A 21st time would not make it more enjoyable.

Modern Warefare type games have been around for a while, too.

And how is a game based on modern warfare more creative than a sci-fi shooter with a deep storyline. Bungie didn't just pick up the morning paper and have a storyline like Infinity Ward. They had to make their entire Universe from the ground up.

Video games are simulations. So it makes no sense you are saying one is and the other is not. I'm sorry, but it's far from a realistic game. I'm not saying Halo is, but I do not play video games for realism. Who does that?

You don't play WoW to live a realistic life. You play it to be a different person, to experience a different life. I do not play Guitar Hero games because I think to myself "Why don't I just play a real guitar?"

Also, you say "all humans have the same definition of fun". LOL? One person finds it fun to abuse small children and to kill women. Does that mean we all find that fun?

...Wow.

Just enjoy the damn game!
Who cares about BR vs AR

Call of Duty offers more realism than Halo, I think that is established. Then it just depends whether you want a realistic, but tough game, or a ridiculous game with traces of realism. Personally I prefer the second, but each to his own.

Why is this in the Reach forums by the way?

it doese'nt look nextgen , looks good but not nextgen
If by next-gen you mean crappy, dark and colorless, I agree. It doesnt look next-gen at all.

What does this have to do with Reach? Please make topics in the correct forum.

Light a log on fire and a man will be warm for the rest of the day. Light a man on fire, and that man will be warm for the rest of his life.
