I lol'd.

Sorry, but that's just not true at all. Maybe you didn't, but I'd say a good majority of the people did. There's a reason why the books they release are very successful.

You know this thread isn't going to go down well.

Learn to accept other people's opinions.

I accept people's opinions IF THEY HAVE BACKING. Which, frankly...most of the Halo haters don't have.

It's funny, you tell me to accept others opinions, but you don't tell anyone else. Like the people who attack Halo/360 threads for absolutely no reason.

Hmm.

And your backing is?

He's played the series quite intensively. Most critisisers probably haven't, and are just jumping on some e-bandwagon.

I haven't played it hundreds of hours no.

I have played it pretty much every time I've ever been to a friend's house.

I have a couple friends who consider themselves pr0 g4m3rz and obsess over their 360s.

He criticizes SS2 and hasn't played it at all.

I've played the whole halo series probably a total of 40 hours. 15 or so for the first game, 10 or so for the second, 15 or so for the third.

I criticize SS2 to make a point to you, which you obviously still fail to understand.

Elaborate?

this point seems to be that you are willing to whine about a game simply because it is old, yet you fall for the constant overhyped shit games we have today, because they're pretty.

I figured it'd be simple enough to get. Guess not.

I wasn't whining, I was being facetious. And you still fail to get my point. Like Halo because it's PRETTY? ROFL, I was playing it on a fucking 20" 10 year old CRT TV up until April.

So you're making fun of me by acting like a douchebag?

I criticize halo from experience.

I have plenty of reasons not to like it.

You criticize SS2 due to it's "1998 graphics oooh scary"

That's not being facetious, that's being a faggot.

Of course firstly that problem of being a console game. Console controllers are awful.
That's simple preference, and the millions of console owners worldwide would disagree

but even for that the vehicles are completely overpowered in multiplayer. I was playing Blood Gulch a while back and was completely destroying some of the "pr0s" in the ghost? banshee? idk the flying thing.
totally not true, anyone in any vehicle instantly becomes a marked target for anyone with common sense

I don't like how it has changed the video game market towards largely hyped but largely shit games. Where money is spent on pre-rendered trailers and advertisement rather than on game development.
Game devs are in the market to make money, lose the silly notion the big ones give two shits what most of us think

I don't like the awful rank system. I was at Arlington Cemetery on a school trip, one of the kids saw a brigadier general's grave, he was talking to my friend and he said something along the lines of "that guy was a brigadier general, like a brigadier in halo, he must have been like, in charge of the army"
and BF2/COD/Any ranked FPS is any better? Weak point tbh

I don't like the grenades. Often I'll be moving in to bash someone, he'll toss a grenade, and I'll kill him, but the grenade will kill me.
Waaay less nade spam in Halo - Dual wielding solves this v.well

I don't think the story is very different from any other science fiction book, movie, or game.
Just like any game out there

I don't like how it is seen as one of the best FPS games ever, when it's not best at anything, Gameplay, Multiplayer, Graphics, Plot, anything.
sheer sales + user satisfaction prove you wrong

I don't like when people consider themselves to be good at aiming when the computer does half the work for them.
sticks are a massive disadvantage, And Halo hardly has the most intrusive auto aim out there

I don't like the kids that it attracts, though it is sometimes fun to make fun of them on XBL.

this is a XBL wide problem, ever tried CoD4/PGR?

Except they generally haven't used a mouse. Think about it, mice exist to point and click. What are you doing in an FPS?

but even for that the vehicles are completely overpowered in multiplayer. I was playing Blood Gulch a while back and was completely destroying some of the "pr0s" in the ghost? banshee? idk the flying thing.

Hardly, the guys with the highest kill streaks generally got them in vehicles

True, there's no real solution to this, but it's upsetting

Um, yeah... They used a ranking system that was pretty close to the real one. They didn't just take the current ranks and throw them in no specific order and remove a few words

I don't like the grenades. Often I'll be moving in to bash someone, he'll toss a grenade, and I'll kill him, but the grenade will kill me.

I still see a large reliance on grenades in halo 3...

not really, but I will agree, a lot of games do have bland stories

Graphics? well it's using xbox hardware so no, it's 720p so no. Gameplay? well there's not really much change from halo 1, but I can't really argue this because it's all personal preference. Multiplayer? well it's on a console for starters, XBL costs $50 a year more than my online does, it tends to be a lot more laggy than my pc games do, and it's got the huge balance problems I was talking about earlier. Plot? well there are definitely games with more engaging storylines, but if you want good storyline go read a book (preferably not a halo one)

I don't like when people consider themselves to be good at aiming when the computer does half the work for them.

I know, but it still has auto aim, and It's definitely noticable

CoD4, yes, PGR, no. This is a problem with parenting though, the kids shouldn't be getting M games until after puberty.
