I would hardly call Halo a knock-off of goldeneye. They are both FPSs, whoop de doo. I guess in that case half life and counter strike must be knock offs of Doom right? Wrong. Besides, who cares.
Also, I would like to add the Halo2 has much more about it that is revolutionary than Goldeneye, obviously.
Thirdly, brute force blows. The weapons are absolutely disgusting. Not even the shotgun has any stopping power. The only way you know they're actually taking damage is when they suddenly die. In halo, enemies and characters actually react to bullets, in Brute Force i just seems like Character A damaging character B, when player receives X amount of damage, player dies.
if you'd rather play brute force, go play brute force.
In summation, you ought to be punted on to the freeway at rush hour and hit by a bus.

hey, wow; he said he was kidding! you guys are as opionated as he is; although, he was taking it a little far. as far as halo2 mopping the floor with "every other game period": that's kind of uncomparable. true, H2 probably will be the best selling game of all time, and also ine of the best in its GENRE, but saying it will mop the floor w/ every other game? you can't compare Halo and Final Fantasy VII. they're both AMAZING games, yet different in almost every respect. it's a players chioce as to which one they likebetter, so I think of course Halo 2 will be the best FPS ever; i can't compare to a game outside it's type though

Hey GUYS! He said he was kidding! Calm down and drop the gun.

I have GoldenEye and yes I enjoyed it and was the best at killing my friends (circling them was the easy kill). But as far as Halo 2 getting more hype? I seem to recall Perfect Dark having websites from the two organizations up way before it got out. The rumors and hype far surpass Halo 2. I mean there were so many things Rare did to excite or get PD attention that blows Halo 2.

However I was severely disappointed whenn I got it. Everyday in the game (story included) was ruined for me. I knew about the twists ans such it was laughable. I did and do enjoy the MP once I find someone to play on a N64.

I applaud Bungie and Microsoft for tighting control over the amount of true info about Halo 2 before it comes out cause it will allow me to take more pleasure in each new experience.

I just would like all of you to know that i love you. and whoever agreed w/ my joke (forgot who u were, sorry) it was just that; a joke. Halo is beyond description. although i am glad to se you expressing your opinion.
you're right; PD did have A LOT of hype. more than Halo 2 though; ahhh, i dunno. maybe. when's the last time you saw fountain cups hyping a game up? 3.5 million copies have been pre-ordered.
007 is still the second best FPS ever! (soon to be third)

No. He was'nt kidding. He was serious. Hes just scared of us like a litle kid that -blam!- his pants on the first day of school. He is a loser. And should be banned and have a plas nade stuck on his face, and an angry mob run after him. You know lets look at his profile thingy and go to his town and jump him. Ya.... thats the mature thing to do... ( i shake my head like a kool joe)

yeah, halo cool and all, and halo 2 should be pretty sweet but really, they're both just cheap knockoffs of the best FPS of all time- Goldeneye 007.

No, the're not. Halo has nothing to do with Goldeneye 007. You can drive, there are more differing difficulties, there are no cheats, it is on XBOX as opposed to N64, and you can't duel wield, (especially ROCKET LAUNCHERS!)


You could dual wield in 007, not sure what game you played. As I recall there were at least 3 or 4 weapons that you could dual wield.

He(or she?) meant that in Halo can't dual wield.

Back to the original topic, yes HALO is overrated. Not super overrated, but plentifully annoying overrated. It's not even my favorite XBOX game.
