Rifles are easier to hold steady due to the stock against your body, I skilled rifleman wont fire full auto anyway (thats for machine gunners, even then its for suppressing fire) they fire bursts or semi auto. Shot for shot a hand gun will have more recoil most of the time (unless the rifle is a .50 BMG etc) because you cant hold it steady so easy and its small.
 
good points. The assault rifle was neglected a bit. I guess that's why they chucked it (as well as the old pistol, at least I havent seen it in screenshots or mentioned in any previews) in favor of the battle rifle. I play with "no sniper" weapons sets most of the time, so it's been a while since I've dealt with amateur pistol whores. You can easily overcome them by acting quickly instead of dawdling out in the open.
 
I would have liked it more if it had a mode like CS for a single player. But fanboys on different sites ruin it.

One word - Accuaracy.

An assult rifle is only as accurate as the person firing it. You have to take into account the way it bounces back at you everytime if fires a round. Pistols on the other hand are easier to aim as they only fire 1 shot at a time.

i love Halo, but i've got to call total BULL on this statement. You have obviously never fired a rifle of any sort, nor a pistol. Rifles are WAY easier to aim. i'm telling you from someone who owns several rifles and a 1911. and pistols are accurate no further than about 75m with even an experienced shooter. yeah, the pistol was a little too powerful and accurate. but damn it's still gotta be one of the Funnest games of all time! And GoldenEye is the GrandDaddy of them ALL! (console shooters only)
 
Goldeneye rulled! I remember having new years eve goldeneye marathons with kills running near the thousands! now 16 player halo rules the night!
 
I once played a multiplayer game of HALO. And out of three characters at this dorm, I think I placed second in my debut. Goldeneye was surely a fun and challenging game. I didn't get to unlock the two secret levels, though. And as far as HALO is involved, I never played the full game, so I cannot comment, I'm afraid.
 
Your also pretty good at being a total fool.

This is where you reply about hating halo, and then like the bad ass you are say "so what" at the end, thinking your some sort of internet jedi.
 
Because you have to put crap like "And If you don't like what I said........... I don't care." on the end like some 13 year old fat boy on a power trip. Rather then make constructive points, your points were shallow and badly thought out. Rather then prove a point, you just ended up looking like a dumb ass. Thats why silve zone.
 
Like I said, I like Halo. But after beating it, all there was left was multiplayer. LIke I said, if you could have MC and like 3 Marines go head to head against 4 Elites would be cool like CS.

One thing though me and a few friends have agreed on...We would have thought it be cool if you and 3 other players take on a whole army of Covenants. Like, kill as many as you can before you die, or whoever is left standing wins. But sadly, we doubt a Halo game will ever have that kind of option. Would be nice though.
 
Nice to see we like the same video game character, Silverzone. MegaMan is in fact, part of my screen name on AOL. Okay, it was off-topic, but just wanted to say that.

exactly. 👍
 
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and are also entitled to not be flamed or anything by their decision.

When defending your like of a game verses someone who does not like it, you should always speak calmly/be civilised and not abuse that member even if he/she is really immature about the way he/she reviewed/gave their opinion on that game.

I've been playing through Marathon lately (bungie's first FPS, originally released on Mac) and I noticed the pistol is quite a bit more accurate than the rifle. Strange trend, or maybe they just like it that way?

Whatever the case, I think lack of realism shouldn't be a key argument concerning Halo. Their weapons designer is pretty hardcore, so he probably realises it isn't realistic. Just the way he wanted it for gameplay tuning I guess.

Besides, I've never heard anything about it being a tactical shooter or military sim. I have ghost recon and operation flashpoint for that.

I think that's actually very real, if you think about it....When aiming dead onto a particular area, the rifle would be more accurate, but in any OTHER situation the pistol would be much more accurate unless the rifle is shouldered and you're perfectly still

yeah that's what I would assume too, because when you're running isn't it easier to aim and fire a pistol (smaller weapon) than a bulky rifle with a longer barrel, assuming it's in a relatively close combat situation? I could be speaking out of my ass anyway, so don't read too much into it.

have you ever fired a pistol?? i've been shooting rifles for over half my life, and i just got a 1911 .45 on my 21st, and it's much harder for me to shoot accurately with that thing than a rifle. sure, there are people out there that are SUPER accurate with pistols, but honestly i'd rather have a rifle in most situations.


but, anyways, harping about realism in a SCI-FI game is a little stupid isn't it? how can you determine wether weapons that don't exist are realistic or not????
 
I was playing Halo yesterday and don't think it looks that bad. Transformers on PS2 looks better than it most of the time though (apart from the bump-mapping).

The only bad thing about the game so-far is the way you drive the jeepy things. I got the hang of it right away but it's still not that easy.

I always seem to get used to the handling of vehicles, in any game i play, within half an hour or less. :eek:

The driving system is good for this game, you only do 75% of the driving the AI steers you just point.

It's a very strange concept at first but it works really well. Once you get used to it, you can pull off some great stuff in multiplayer. The physics are actually very good for the vehicles. Games like battlefield feel a little hokey after you mess around in a warthog.

I know this may result in countless flames, but I have to say it. Halo has become very boring. And as for people that say Halo is the most revolutionary shooter so far should know this:

Vehicles- Only new thing

Multiplayer - Been in almost every game and Halo Multiplayer isn't all that good.

Co-op- Timesplitters 2 had co-op play.

Graphics - Who cares? Graphics don't make a good game.

And Halo 2 Promises Dual weapons when dual weapons have been in a ton of FPS's.
Halo 2 looks cool........ But it shouldn't be promoted like dual weapons is something new.

And If you don't like what I said........... I don't care.

I love halo 1 and 2 and probaly 3 so im sorry when I say Screw you SILVERZONE granted it isn't the best game in the whole world but when you say who cares about graphics that like saying who cares what it looks real as long as it looks like pong im easy Duuuhertt.
 
What makes Halo so great is that it's a first person shooter on a quality console that supports four players without any addons. It's easily networked for even more fun. Total cost to get sixteen people playing Halo together could actually be less than it would be for just four people to play an FPS on computers.

XBox $150
Halo $50
3x Controller $100
TV $300
$600 x 4 = $2400 + about $200 for networking equipment comes to $2600. That's freaking cheap! Less than $170 per person.

And don't go comparing single features - everything listed in the first post is a one on one situation. Halo has all these things in one game.

But I think the biggest benifactor for Halo is its simplicity. Everything is as simple as taking it out of the box and plugging it in. Look at Apple - they're rocking Microsoft's world through simplicity. That doesn't mean it's powerful, but it sure is simpler. Removing the stress makes a huge difference.
 
I just think the fun factor in Halo 2 is way up there. Playing online with a bunch of friends, dominating room after room while ranking up is fun to me. I don't speculate games down to the rocket science like alot of people here do. I don't look into the history of other games, compare them, get technical, and have a mental meltdown like alot of people here. I dont see why people are so concerned if a game is sucky or not. Just play it and have fun. Why must you be so political?! Thats MY two cents :p
 
halo sucks.... i'm with Silverzone
way to go man and i can have u a few reasons why halo is one of the worst fps ever!...
1st of all counert-strike:sorce owns halo 2nd peopel online think its a great game i couldn't eve nget a parson in my TOWN to buy it. 3rd of all people say its REALLY addicting i got boared of the game the 1st day i got it.
when i play counter-strike its like ur on drugs me and my friends do lan partys and we played for 5 days stragight with no sleep and soda to keep us up. i neevr really liked any games for x-box my friend has one and is ubsest with halo i played him and i went for 30 kils with out dieing and that is all the time even online. and i die alot on counter-strike cause there are worthy plapyers.
microsoft says how great halo is and how its BETTER then cs but they can't say that when cs has 10 times as many servers online then halo does i i mena i went on last night on cs and there was 20,000 servers i mean WOW this game is so great.

I agree with you on 1 thing.

Counter-Strike is better. But maybe that's because the whole game is a massive online game.

IMO, I think CS online is much better than Halo 2 Online. Every time I play online with Halo 2, I end up getting stuck with idiots who just shoot rockets at me, and team up on me. I swear, then when I kill someone, they come up with some gay excuse.

I know I get it on Source, but its nowhere as bad.
