Ugh no. I can't stand Blops II. Worst CoD yet IMO.

Charlie is correct.

Halo 4 is garbage and doesn't deserve the Halo name.

Halo 4 just took itself too seriously. Bungie didn't do that. They made sure that it felt like an adventure. 343i was trying way too hard to be canonically correct when making the game, and in doing so took it all too seriously.

I completely agree with this. I haven't played Black Ops 2 so I'm not sure about anything else you said, though.

Do I have to read any books or find terminals to understand the plot of Black OPs 2? If not then it's no contest who wins.

Although Blops II is good, what you stated in your thread title isn't saying much Charlie. Anything's better than Halo 4.

  • 12.17.2012 4:40 PM PDT

Dont people want 343 to take halo 4 seriously. Its what get people into the game. I enjoyed it

I disagree. I found the campaign for Halo 4 pretty fun. I'm nearly alone in this, but I like the process you needed to create to fight Promethean Knights. Since I am a die hard Halo fan, I have read all the books, and know the story pretty well. I was a little concerned about how much extra info you needed to know what was going on, as I thought it would drive off potential fans, but the sales numbers were good, so no harm.

But after beating the two back to back, I m very impressed with what Treyarch brought to the table. It really is a better game. People who say its a clone of th last should play it and be proven wrong. The dialog should have been better, as some of the cussing seemed too insincere. But otherwise it's the better game all around.

There is a certain point of tolerance that should never be reached.

Halo 4 is slick in every sense of the word. The combat is the most fine tuned Halo to date. Maybe other people didn't enjoy the story, but it's Halo 4! fans of the game have had plenty of time to dive into the deeper fiction, and if they choose not to, they shouldn't understand the most complex inter workings of the franchise.

Everything in Halo 4 is fantastic. Sure, it has a few bugs, and a few things need to be patched (slower DMRs FTW) but besides that, it's golden.

Haters gonna hate.

Hey, I've never said otherwise. I put that in the OP. I thought it was still a great game. I just think Black Ops 2 was a better game.

If we disagree, it's nothing personal, opinions are opinions.
Antagonizing me to build a false sense of worth is so damn cute.

Thanks for reading my signature!

People hate on BO2 just because its a COD game. I've not touched the MP and never will, but the SP was just like BO1, an interesting setting and a good story, but the ending was a joke, enjoyed it. Unlike the MW2 and 3 its not just explosion, explosion, explosion etc.

What house has a rocket pod, has legs, and has a long narrow barrel that probably shoots something powerful?

Sounds like you're describing the lower half of my body, actually.

Spoilers: The after credits scene of Black Ops 2 as proof Treyarch didn't take this too seriously
Halo 4's Legendary ending was so underwhelming (not to mention I never got to see it in-game despite completing the last level from rally point alpha...).

Halo 4's lack of difficulty distinction was also disappointing.

First, I should point out how Johnson had speeches that changed with difficulty.

Next, why do I have to do a QTE on Legendary?!! CE PoA vs. Halo 4 Dawn. The former is obviously better.

Lastly, where are the cutscene easter eggs? Anniversary had them, Reach had them, ODST had them. Halo 4 has NONE.

Don't judge a book by its cover, unless it has bacon on the cover, then it is a good book.

Black Ops 1's multiplayer is as close as "flawless" in FPSs as you can get.

Hey, look, an opinion. I disagree, and for many reasons.

  • 12.17.2012 6:28 PM PDT

Black Ops 2 has terrible lag compensation so it's not that much better.

I do not want to stop asking. I do not ask to stop wanting.

While I agree that Black Ops 2 was a good game (though I preferred the original's story as I'm more of a plot driven fan than character) I disagree that it was better than Halo 4. But I respect your opinion, and I'm pretty sure you're probably one of the 2 percent of the Flood that legitimately likes Blops 2 over Halo 4 and isn't just conforming to blind hate.

I'll be typing up an analysis for 4's story sooner or later. If you're interested, I could link you to it once I'm done Charlie.

Ignore my gamertag. It's actually Dragonzzilla.

That's like your opinion, man. I personally like Halo more, but that's my opinion.
