do you play through the game, not giving a damn about the story line. I did in Halo 1 and 2. Would You do it for 3 (since this is the last one)

"You must face the truth squarely and without flinching from duty. Our enemies are mortal no longer. Mercy for such as they is a chimera, self-deception is its only ally. Dedicate this weapon, given unto your hand at the behest of the Emperor, to their destruction. Regard its function as your only duty: you live only to bring cleansing fire."

the story line makes the damn game

Phrog pilots, reckless and free. We would strap into our birds, set the engines on fire, and leave these earthly bonds with a chorus of WHOP WHOP WHOP. Akin to beating your chest and howling in defiance at the rest of the world.

Silly rabbit, the story is the best part.

yeah, i know, i know, which is why i put the "Shut the hell up" option. But i did for the first two, which is why i had to go back and replay H2. Im reading The Flood for H1

Oh yeah, and the story like does not make the damn game you prick. I played through it and just had the time of my life just doing the killing and -blam!-. so dont give me that BS.

I guess your name has some credibility.

It's a matter of opinion. Some people can't concentrate on a storyline and go for killing, while others like a story with their game (which Bungie excels in). If I had the choice to read a good book or play a good game (with no storyline) I'd probably go for the book.

Yeah, Kcid is right, damn near noone plays a shooter for the story line. People play shooters for the action, multiplayer, graphics, and explosions.

If you want a story you play an RPG....and that's about it.


Now that's not to say a shooter can't have a good story....it's just not the main focus, or at least it shoudnt be.

nice attack on my name, im used to it. (hence me making it my name, duh. Stupid moderators.) well i just asked because not everyone has orgy parties over the storyline, so i was just trying to see. Considering i joined 2 days ago, you can see this is better than previous post. (such as is it me or IS MASTER CHEIF HOT!!!111!111!11121!12)

btw thank you koinoperated, for having a free state of mind instead of voting shut the hell up. That was a joke option.

That's on of the reasons Halo was such a successful shooter. It's a mindless gory killer, with a soft underbelly of a good story. How about that?

I guess you coulda argue that. Personally I'm of the thought that Halo owes it's success because of the multiplayer (gameplay) much more then the story....I mean let's be honest, how much more did you play multiplayer then the campaign?


oh and actually I didn't vote....but because you put a shut up option I'm obligated to vote that....solly

Let it die, or kill it?

Personally I think you're acting like a jerk because other people have opinions that aren't yours (such as "I like a storyline in my games"). But flames are for another time and another place.
