Halo 2 Postponed AGAIN

HALO is the best console game. FarCry and BF1942 are great games, but can't get them on XBOX. Alot of people can't afford a nice machine to run games like that. Unreal for XBOX sucked, and that game bombed out, never did well. HALO is the best game and proved itself for a console game. I dont know if any of you have seen the in-game preview for HALO 2, but that looks badass. The way the story-line will be set, it's going to be made so it takes more than a couple days to beat, and like the first one, each time you beat it, you get a different ending. They can take their time.

aint that the truth. I played it for all of 5 minutes. Doesnt even compare to pc version. Going from mouse and keyboard to game pad sucked ass. nowhere near the accuracy.

 

OK, there's where I get off the goober train. I'm sure I'm a complete nerd, but my goodness is playing a single player video game BORING. The entertaining aspect of any of these games to me is head to head play, preferably squad based tactical head to head. I'm the goober that likes the militray themed objective games (and the team based UT200x stuff too). The rest of it is like watching Martha Stewart cooking shows to me, with the exception of some EA sports games like NCAA Football.

Maybe that's why I don't like Halo. I despise games that you try to "beat". If chess was so linear and repetitive, it never would have survived. Neither will that crap. Give me a varied, tactical player versus player environment everytime and the opportunity to beat you by being smarter.

 

so you have problems beating the computer... no prob we ain't here to judge

 

I thought you'd enjoy that.

On many of your points I have to agree. I enjoy the teamwork of a lot of online military games. I used to be HUGE on the Delta Force series online and tinkered a little in Return To Castlewolfinstein and BF1942, but on occassion I like to play single player if it has an interesting enough story behind it. Its almost as if participating in a movie.

I do however like the fact that many games are giving an option to both. That way you can enjoy the storyboard part and then take it to another level by playing online.

 

the reason I play halo is because its an awesome xbox game. I've have the system since launch and still play halo. Maybe if the other games you listed were released on the xbox, I'd look into playing them, but right now I don't give a damn about any of the PC games.

 

I hate playing games on PC. I'm all about the Console. PC games don't promote multi-player games. At least, not in any other format besides Online.

That would be great, but I actually like to play video games with my friends.

 

i got castle wolfenstien for the xbox cuz of the multiplayer support and i figured id could do a good engine (tho i'm not sure this is really id's engine on xbox).

it sucks. horrible controls, so-so graphics... i love bungie's design sense, their story arcs, technology. i always prefered marathon to doom.

 

Huh? That's the whole point of PC Online games - BF1942 is online only.

Oh, you're talking about sitting beside somebody and sharing a screen... Yeah, Goldeneye was reallyf un when my brother could just look at my tiny little corner of the screen and see where I was. Kinda ruined the game.
