Subject: For Lack of a Better Shot

So, you completly ignored Dr Syx's post? The tables are turning DusK, you need to change your attitude before it's to late.

My posts were not post related but indeed useful, my opinions are similar to most other posters on this topic.

We are sick of your arrogence, sick of your ranting, and sick of your intimidation. Of course, you are just as entitled to an opinion as everyone else, but here is your problem, if anyone disagrees with you, you do not accecpt it.

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.

There was neither argument nor counter-argument within. Only whining about my post. Therefore, there was nothing to respond to.

So far, everyone who has disagreed with me has provided either zero explanation or weak excuses that I've retorted against. You? You've only done the former.

And how cute, you think you're speaking for everyone on the board again.

Yeah, little discrepancy with my old account, no biggie. Known this guy for years, he prolly doesn't know who I am though. If your judgement lies on the number of days I have been part of this site, your opinion is worthless.

Sorry, who the HELL are you? You just showed up a couple of months ago. Thus your laughable attempt to be the voice of this forum is not wanted or needed, good day sir.

Sorry, who the HELL are you? You've posted nothing in this thread related to the topic at all. Thus your opinion hasn't even been presented yet, good day sir.

EDIT: No, that was not directed to you DusK.

I'm tempted to say Rith, because he has characters in MMO's that use a similar name, but I'm not so sure. And now it's bugging me. Who are you?

Sooooooo who actually contributed anything useful to the thread? (Not me LOL)

Fixed for accuracy. And I lol'd at a kid calling me a kid.

This is the line in the sand. If you don't like the post, GTFO. If you can't post anything related to the topic itself, instead resorting to petty insults and stupidity, GTFO. If you're gonna post from here on out, present an argument relating to the subject matter.

So far, the only ones that have actually posted anything related to the subject at hand have been on my side. The rest have just be "lol ur dumb whining lololol" which only reinforces the point that you guys can't present a valid counter-argument. If you don't like what I had to say, at least explain why you disagree instead of posting like you never passed elementary school.


Pretty sure your the one insulting here. Just stating I didn't read your essay. Change the your -blam!- and get some fresh air please

Actually, I've always known Halo 2 to be a "nooby" game. In fact, as a PC gamer I've known that all the Halos have always been noobified games with slow kill times and slow movement speed. I play none of the Halo games competitively. The only times I have is in local tournaments for money or when a friend requests me to be.

I'm, and a good portion of the PC forum (Not all), are just tired of the Halo 2 vs. Halo: Combat Evolved stuff. We've gone over it so many times that it blows my mind.

DusK, I know you're an extraordinarily intelligent person, so, you should understand the saying "To each his own". If people like a game that you view as a sack of -blam!-, why does it matter? It really doesn't. Even with the post you've made for this thread. How long did it take you to make it? Don't you think you could have done something progressive in your life instead of spend the time to argue with some "Halo 2oob" for the thousandth time?

What I'm saying is you're wasting too much of your time with this. Like I said before, you're a very intelligent person. Go do something amazing. I can tell you're capable of it. The more you push on with silly arguments about which video game takes more skill the less the chances you'll end up making something great happen.

I don't need a lecture. And honestly, I don't know what convinced you to give me one.

This thread has a purpose; intelligent discussion. I'm looking for points and counter-points that are actually related to the topic. What I'm not looking for is people coming here whining about having to read what I posted as if I stuck a gun to your head and made you scroll through it.

If you have something actually related to the topic to contribute, feel free. If all you're gonna do is complain about what I posted while adding absolutely nothing to the discussion, then obviously this thread isn't for you, so skip over it and be on your merry little way.

  • 07.03.2011 5:33 PM PDT

NO ONE IS ADDING ANYTHING TO THIS -blam!- POST BECAUSE WE ARE ALL SICK OF THESE KIND OF POSTS.

There, glad we got that across...

Dr Syx is a legend, he always has something positive to add, he is never biased towards a point, and is certainly a better person that you.

Keep digging DusK, that hole is only getting larger.

After explaining what kinds of posts aren't necessary in this thread, you make just that. Wow. And you're pretending to speak for everyone on the board again. How cute.

So I guess we really are done here. Final tally:

3 people (including me) able to give a detailed explanation of how Halo 2 takes no skill to play;

2 people in agreement of Halo 2 taking no skill to play but not elaborating;

0 people able to give any explanation of how Halo 2 takes skill to play, and;

A bunch of other people who were unable to contribute anything useful.

GG everyone.

DusK, I did give my opinion on the topic. All the Halo games are "noobified" as I've learned in my time as a PC gamer. Trust me, my Quake friends never let me forget it. They act exactly like you do towards Halo 2 with Halo PC. Does Halo 2 take less skill than Halo PC/Xbox? Yep, definitely. Would I classify myself as a Halo 2 player? No. In fact, if I called myself a player of any Halo, it would be Halo PC. I rarely have a go with Halo 2. I only ever really touch it if I feel like doing some glitching or play with a few friends. I do sometimes play it for fun, though.

Point is, every Halo has adjustments for the console. Even Halo PC with its limit of 16 players, no real mod support (Other than the poor support given by Gearbox in Custom Edition), and bullet magnetism (Not as strong as Halo 2's, mind you) wreak of a console game pretending to be a PC game. In fact, Halo: Combat Evolved's praise was due to the fact that it actually functioned on a console. That Bungie had found the right controls for a console FPS and made it easy enough for it to be playable with such a device.

In the end, as you've said many times, pick up a real PC game if you want a good competitive game. Games such as Unreal, Quake, Tribes, or Counter-Strike. In my opinion, my favorite FPS franchise of all time is noobified in every installment. The only reason I love it is due to the fact its fun to play. Simply my favorite game to put in then have a good laugh while making the bodies spin while falling to the ground. That's what I put forth into the discussion.

Uh, I did? I addressed them in the OP. Actually read it this time, and you'll find it.

Halo 3

Essentially you regurgitated everything you said in my linked thread, and put it all into a new thread. Thus, I will keep it at hand that you "choose not to recognize my evaluations of the situation at hand." This info-thread would receive my recycled answers here with maybe a few more explanations to help fortify my points.

But what good will that do if you choose not to recognize my evaluations?
