Yup. Fuck that. Sticking with my PC

LOL at video... Live action halo thing caught my attention tho
1. halo has always been the helment-wearing, short-bus riding, retarded-cousin, red-headed step-child of FPS gaming. Live-action media based on games has been lackluster at best. I smell fail. (oh, and spielberg raped indiana jones).
2. if you thought the backlash against the game offerings on the Wii-U was bad, you ain't seen nothing yet. by the time xbox rolls out, nintendo will probably have several 1st party, mass-following games already out.
3. once again, nintendo decided that people don't need to pay for a bunch of features that have nothing to do with gaming (tivo, blu-ray playback, etc). since cable companies usually provide DVR's, and since blu-ray players are piss-cheap....i think sony & MS are going to come out on the losing end when they have to sell at a loss just to push unit sales.
4. i don't know if i'll ever be able to stop laughing as the "uber-1337-hardcore-gamer" console tries to become more mainstream & branch out with more kinect, etc. so much for EVERY argument levied against the Wii--ever.
5. live? seriously? people still are on board with paying to play online...when you can do so on a PC scot free? and now that MS wants MORE DRM & has decided to take a page from EA's playbook regarding online functionality....yeah, i think fans are going to be voting on this one with by running the other direction.
6. of course they can't focus on graphics. that's because even the highest-quality console offerings are 720p upscaled to 1080p. EVERY SINGLE 8th gen console will be able to graphically handle what's thrown at it--because the limit is 1080p.
MS has a hard road ahead--competing head to head with sony during the holiday season this year. i will say this though: nintendo has the head start this time. if developers start spurning nintendo in favor of sony/MS, it's an indication of pure bias. there's no hardware limit, and there most certainly is an installed-user-base advantage with the Wii-U...even if it's a modest one.
i think i will be upgraDING MY cpu instead.... because as it sits my pc has better hardware than the new xbox ...
I've been playing halo since the beginning...so I'd have to disagree..... It's a fantastic game...tho IMO nothing beats the first halo....... tho I felt Reach was close..... just in how much I love playing them...repeatedly.Quote:

eww. the first halo was a desperate UT knockoff. it never really got much better. UT2K4 was the gold standard for many years.Quote:

I've played UT, tho it has been years........I see absolutely no relation between either.... other then FPS.....
I think your comparing Multiplayer gaming...which for the most part I don't give two shits about... and I'm comparing simple game play and story line...
I love halo for the story and the game play...rarely play multiplayer.
Either way, the new Xbox seems like to me buying yourself into slavery...
Kool you have to pay a fortune for console that you are super limited to what you can do, there a rules...you have to pay a fee to play used games... you have to pay for EVERYTHING and you HAVE to have the internet to play it. thats pretty fucking stupid if you ask me. because I know alot of current 360 owners with no internet or no xbox live. the whole system is bullshit. I hope it all tanks, and gets run into the ground and who ever thought this up all looses their jobs for being so incredibly greedy, and not even coming close to thinking about the gamer. only thing I see them thinking about is money money money.
also lets not forget how terrible durability wise the original xbox360's were.... (even tho mine is a Gen1, i am amazed it has lasted this long...it has red ringed many many times... usually about twice a year) I see the same fate for the first few generations of this new xbox.
blacky, halo was an attempt to bring online multiplayer FPS to consoles. it was a poor attempt, imho. vehicles have been rather poor since the get-go. ut2k4 scorpion > halo warthog--any day of the week. storyline didn't matter, and i couldn't really give another shit about frickin space marines. the fact that MS deliberately held up a PC version of the game for YEARS until after it was long in the tooth, didn't help either--there would be no cross-platform support from modders. i don't remember how many play modes halo 1 & 2 had, but i know for certain that by the time i was done downloading all the mods & conversions for 2k4, it had over a dozen gameplay modes & several total-conversion mods. that includes modes like jailbreak, assault & carball...as well as conversions like alien swarm & red orchestra.
now if none of that matters to you because you prefer single-player, that's fine. halo also brought the suck there. deus ex 1 had the best storyline out of any FPS ever made, and HL 1&2 was a close 2nd. i would put halo after DOOM 1 for "storyline originality". and fricking timesplitters had better gameplay.
doesnt matter because we will never change the opinion of a fan boy , unreal, halo ,bf3,or cod doesnt matter its the best game not matter what .
I don't play those dumb games. I play Hello Kitty: Island Adventure.Quote:

Halo PC was the first online version which did not come out till a few years later just before Halo 2 iirc.
Stop being dumb.
chinpokomon? heroin hero?
i didn't say it was halo 1. knockoff franchise is a knockoff.Quote:

And the fanbase is so huge they change their mind... I understand you dont like halo. But dont make stuff up to support your own opinion. This isnt U.S Politics. We dont do that here.
Its like people who hate Nickleback. Sure alot of their songs sound the same... but they havent sold millions of albums and made millions of dollars because they suck! Lol
wrong. nickleback sucks. so does american idol. and barak obama. and jersey shore. and justin bieber.
stupidity is just at critical mass--which explains everything.
You find the first sentence hilarious because you obviously don't know the history of Halo. Halo was supposed to be a MMOFPS until Bungie was bought by Microsoft.Quote:

how does a game which wasn't even released when MMOFPS on the xbox was possible at the time since xbox live hadn't been released yet? and the game didn't even provide that option, or anything of the sort, designed to be a MMOFPS? that makes no sense to me...
That statement would be relevant for Halo2. but halo 1 it is not. it only had system link, as did alot of different games at the time too...
Goddamnit read. Halo was never supposed to come to a console. It was designed to be a mmofps for the PC. That's what Bungie was telling us dorks staring at our computers in 2000. As a competitive player of Tribes, myself and all the other jetpack jockeys had raging nerd boners for a game that could have changed online FPS for years to come - Halo. Instead it was bought by MS, the MMO part was scrapped, a quick single player story was cobbled together and it was thrown onto the xbox as a port of the work they already had. There is stuff in Halo 2 and Halo 3 that I was seeing in videos for the true, original Halo back in 2000. Halo 1 on xbox was a test bed for the xbox as well as a marketing campaign. By introducing a new FPS with a central figure, Master Chief, Halo became synonymous with xbox. What you see, hear and play as a Halo is not what it was supposed to be. It would have beat out the first true MMOFPS, Planetside, by six years.Quote:

that's fine. and those of us who grew up playing counterstrike, TFC, and DOOM are going to think of you as a retard.
multiplayer FPS just don't float my boat thats all. I like theatrics and story lines... not silly interweb rankings and spawn killing.
I play multiplayer on Black ops 2 in zombies mode, does that count for anything?
you'd still be 100x better off with deus ex, fallout or even bioshock.
Spent so many hours as a teen playing halo on hardcore mode , we even went to the length of drilling a hole in the floor in the corner behind the living room tv to the basement to string a link cable so we could system link and no one could screen peak :cool:
My parents were so mad a year later when they found the hole. I was likebits been their for a year and no one has noticed chill , we had weekly if.not bi weekly system link parties and when we were out doing "art assignments " in the public guess where we were my basement playing halo for an hour
