Call me when Infinity Ward can out do Halo 1 and we'll talk, k?

Modern Warfare 2 isn't BAD, but it's not Halo.


Amen to that.

I understand every detail of halos story and the thing is got tierd of -blam!- ing blowing up a stupid ring or planet everygame if you haven played mw2 and dont know how deep the storyline goes then stfu. ok and I dont blame bungie thier great game devolopers.

You obviously do not understand every detail of Halo's story. There's the huge backstory through the terminals on the Forerunners. That describes in detail the history of the universe. If you've read through all of it, and can still say CoD's story is deeper, you're just fooling yourself.

What do you do in CoD? Switch between a bunch of storyless soldiers and blow stuff up? No thank you.

That's something I meant to ask. When did they blow up a planet in a Halo title? Cause I'm pretty sure I would remember that...

Keep BUNGLE away from matchmaking, away from these forums, and overall away from this game.

You guys play games for storylines and lore. I only play them for multiplayer.

I love the Halo storyline but it wouldn't fuel to me to buy a random Halo game. I couldn't care less about how good or bad MW2's campaign is, I'm buying it for the multiplayer.

I have several friends that have both Halo 3 and CoD MW2.. Whenever I'm on my xbox (frequently) I see them playing Halo 3. It seems to me that more people like Halo than CoD.

That's basically what the last couple of days have been like.

My friends list...is a long story. It should not be taken seriously.

Really, I think about five of the people on there are actually MY friends, the rest are my brothers friends.


They all seem to be the stereotypical 12 year old, screaming into the mic and playing CoD.

  • 11.14.2009 11:25 PM PDT

Ah, I forgot. My mistake.

  • 11.14.2009 11:26 PM PDT

Tell me, when besides the moments where Captain Keyes, Commander Keyes, and Johnson died did you truly feel like "Oh man...thats really bad."? Hardly.

MW1. "Okay, we'll save this pilot, get caught in nuke blast, next level is....Me wandering about before I die."

"Oo, the final were the characters we got close to suddenly die all -blam!- quickly and at once."

Whether the campaigns are good in halo 1-2-3-ODST is a matter of -blam!- opinion. I found them all to be enjoyable and interesting.

mind you it depends who your friends are a thier age and what games THEY prefer.

It varies.. GREATLY.

I don't necessarily need to feel 'that's too bad' in my shooters, though. Too much can over do it, and that's where I think IW just puts in scenes that are a little over the top, for a cheap shot.

I'm still undecided on the airport mission.

I'll admit Bad Company was average, it could have done without the comdey, but it wasn't great. The destructable cover was cool, but whilst Modern Warfare 2 may have a good campaign, it's even stronger in Multiplayer. While Halo may have a cartoony gameplay experience, MW brings on the realism. Having to check corners and use cover is vidal in MW, as apposed to Halo's most used tactic: power weapons.


I have one word to sum this up

LOL!

But here is an explanation anyway. Your simplistic views of the matter need to be adressed

Halo is about teamwork. Teamshooting- this is mainly shown with scoped weapons like the BR. Normally a good team will try to position themelves on a map to gain an advantage and this is needed even more then cod since not every weapon in halo can kill someone instantly. So in order for your team to be sucessful you have to be coordinated

In COD teams try to do this too. But you can still go rogue and r ape a whole team since you can kill them all in one shot. In Halo when the teams are even players can't rogue and kill every one. They will be in for a rude awakening when they get teamed BRed

In halo you have energy shields. This eliminates randomness and focuses more on whos the better overall shot instead of oh I saw you first too bad. Since in COD every gun is close to one shot then focus fire isnt important since it only requires on person to make an instant kill and assist really dont make a difference

Being that Halo is not a class game. It focuses on weapon and powerup control. This allows teams to become even more strategic as oposed i start with whatever I want. No areas on the map are a point of interest besides the ones I can camp

COD doesnt take skill. Most people camp to get kills so they can call and Air Strike, Predator Drone, Harrier, and etc. Once they get these things they pretty much rack up a lot of kills with no effort from the player.

Its bad enough the person is winning but now he gets to get 6 cheap kills with lets say a chopper. Then he just widened the gap without really needing to do anything.

Maps in COD are poorly designed. The small desert map that has a tower with metal stairs to them. Mostly everyone spawns right next to each other. I even spawned with two people directly in front of me with there backs turned. I grinned but I knew it was unfair.

I camped the stairs to the tower in somewhat of a hiding space. I killed one guy then imediatly turned to the other part of the hiding space to watch him spawn and repeated it with another player

This happened because the map is a fail. The spawns are a fail. I have a feeling they like to spawn the person that you killed so they can get a revenge kill on you. I just thought of that and abused their mistake

  • 11.14.2009 11:37 PM PDT

Many of the spawn issues are related to the outdatedness of the code. It didn't help that IW decided they didn't need to 'waste time' with a beta.

When you don't truly love your game and want it to be the best it can be, it shows.

I enjoy CoD more than Halo. I have friends who like Halo more than CoD. It's entirely opinion. You can't win that argument. Now, I don't know if Reach can beat MW2 because no gameplay has been released of it. It's kinda hard to judge a game that you don't have any information on.

I agree. Although if Reahces gameplay is like Halo 3 then it will beat MW2 multi in my opinion.

As for the campaign i have a feeling bungie is cooking up something really good this time.

52,000 kills in Halo 2 and more legendary playthroughs in CE than you can imagine. I am truly a God.

Bad Company 2>Modern Warfare 2

My opinion multiplayer wise.

Nihilism (from the Latin nihil, nothing) is a philosophical position that argues that existence is without objective meaning, purpose, or intrinsic value.

Put simply in the words of Nietzsche as "the will to nothingness".

Posted by: LIL Smurf DOGG
Yeah.

Because in MW2, you play as Highschool kids who become a group known as the "Wolverines" and do guerrila tactics.

Frakking moron.

Sounds like a reasonable portrayal of the US military to me.
