This. I'm not the biggest fan of Halo's gameplay, but at least when I die or lose in Reach I know it isn't a result of the game being intractably broken.

I'm ok with saying the multiplayer is the best yet because EVERY new game is gonna be better than the last cause they build off of it. But if you say that Halo CE wasn't by far the best FOR ITS TIME, then you probably didn't play it when it came out. Me and my friends could play campaign literally every day and not get sick of it. I don't know what it was about the campaign for the first but it never got old
ok you gotta explain what you mean so I can have some ammunition against some of my MW2 friends
However much time it would take is more than I've got, but in it's conception and implementation, the game is broken on both levels. There are poorly designed aspects of the game that can be exploited to the point that they could be called cheating were it not that the developer wanted the game to be the way it is. And there are some outright, unfixed glitches that when used, are cheating. The details take more time to spell out than I currently have available, but a peek at the Infinity Ward forum archives will give you all the ammo you need.
I will admit from the get-go I honestly think the Halo franchise is over-rated.... Even before I played the game... Its great for a console but nothing new to a PC gamer..... I guarantee, if this was cross-platform, no one on Xbox live would stand a chance against a good PC gamer.
having said that, the story is pretty interesting for Single player.
And I will give them props for co-op in the story line.
Other than that.... Its just like the other Halo games... Knockoffs of the origional FPS games on PC.
pc OWN'S in the FPS business... Sorry console s.
Um, no one on XBL or PSN would stand a chance against PC players if any game was a cross platform game. Much easier to control a mouse than an analog stick and this is coming from someone who has played both
I can't tell if he's serious or not. The ONLY thing better for PC is MORPG.
tbh I haven't enjoyed a Halo game since Halo 2, so basically everything Halo related that's come out since then has been greeted by me the same way a new Saw sequel is.
So is this one actually different or is it the exact same ing game as the last 5?
and tbqh the FPS genre peaked with Goldeneye.
Standard fare Halo game. Nothing surprising or out of the ordinary, seems more like an expansion by PC gaming standards. Not impressed.
As for PC vs console, it would be utmost rape. Console gamers need a new, innovative input device (probably looking much like a keyboard+mouse) exclusively for FPS if they ever want to actually compete with PC gamers.
Why do people still give a about PC vs. console for FPS?
A typical console gamer's statement, one who is completely ignorant to the fact much, much better FPS existed on PC at the time (Quake I/II, for starters). FPS has always been much better on PC, and will continue to be until something better than an analog stick+modding capabilities are implemented.
I'd personally go with CS being the height of FPS as we know it. Had the largest gaming populace, a plethora of leagues, well supported, and of course, innovative, balanced, and fun. Interestingly enough, there's even a console port.
What's even funnier is RTS on a console vs PC (not online, the concept itself). Dunno why any developers even tries that anymore. I will never get how someone can bear mustering only 30-40 solid APM at most and scrolling around with an inaccurate stick trying to micro.

Is this still part of your hipster shtick?
They truly are the Radiohead fans of gaming. And I like both Radiohead and PC games, but not like them
Who can avoid pointing out so potent a self-pwn. Not only did you imply FPS and RTS are clearly better on consoles, you immediately display an alarming amount of hypocrisy.Golden
Obviously, pc players enjoy the advantage of hardcore customization and community effort that can pick apart the software. Plus, as mentioned, there are plenty of awesome pc FPC games that the console community has never seen, or supported (think of TF2 on 360). In terms of customization, community and game variety, PC wins hands down. I don't play on PC, but I know my place in the argument.
The controller debate is moot to me. PC players play against people with keyboards and mouses. Console players compete against people with the same controllers. The issue isn't talent; it's input method. Neither community's talent suffers for it's own control mechanism. What's the PC argument? That our methodology is so much easier to kill with? Okay.
Assuming the absurd hypothetical of cross-platform compatibility.
Most PC gamers are also console gamers. They just realize which is better, having played both of them extensively.
There is no contest. It is PC, hands down, every time, with the exception of sports and fighting games.
You really think the controller is that accurate? Try playing an RTS with it. See how it fares.
It's not about obsession, it's about simply realizing what's right in front of you.
PC: More customization, more gameplay options, 10x better graphics, better controls, better online play. Oh, and you can game on the road with a laptop. You know, 'cause even laptops are more powerful than the 360/Ps3 these days. Want to play Modern Warfare, Mass Effect 2, or Fallout 3 in your University Union? On lunch break at work? On a plane or train? Have fun lugging that 42" TV with you, not to mention finding an outlet.
Console: Uh... it's slightly cheaper (games are more expensive), and they have some exclusive ports that the PC doesn't? That's seriously the only advantage you're working with here. Name another, please.

Pc> you... Realize
Except that I'm not the one who bought the whole PC argument into this thread. Completely irrelevant to bring that up.Who can avoid pointing out so potent a self-pwn. Not only did you imply FPS and RTS are clearly better on consoles, you immediately display an alarming amount of hypocrisy.
Yeah, that's what I call obsessive. Especially considering the post you were responding to wasn't exactly begging for an argument. And as far as that first sentence, I don't think I've ever read anything so smug
No - you're just the one who got severely butthurt over it. Congrats.
I didn't make any attempt to argue it with you, did I?
So being a gamer is obsessive.Yeah, that's what I call obsessive.
You're obsessive.
Why do you feel the necessity to defend mono?Especially considering the post you were responding to wasn't exactly begging for an argument.
And as far as that first sentence, I don't think I've ever read anything so smug
It doesn't matter who's obsessive and who isn't. You said that FPS and RTS games were better on console. You're wrong, and this isn't something that is even debatable. PC offers far superior control for almost every genre.
Goldeneye was a phenomenal game.
However, it gets buried alive by Counterstrike, which is superior in every single aspect, except "pick up and play" due to the fact that it's much more difficult than Goldeneye. The only advantage it offers is nostalgia.
