CoD6 - Rumours

[[SoE]_Zaitsev]

haha, the thing about Palin was fucking hilarious.

But Halo is a good game and you know it, you just dislike it.

No, I firmly believe it is a bad game through personal experience. After playing Halo 2 (what pretty much all halo fans to be considered the best Halo) for several hours, I found the story to be pathetic, the environments to be repetitive and unoriginal, the gameplay to be sadly mindless and lacking any type of creative originality. It also has created a stereotype which most games are trying to abide by in their creation which is leading to a sad demise in the quality of games nowadays.

lol "most likely something that will rival Halo". The fact that IW is producing it instantly makes it exponentially better than Halo. Basically, Halo sucks. Sounds like they're going the BF2142 approach.

I hope they take the 'BF2142' approach and not the 'Halo 3' approach. One halo style game on the market is enough. It would be cool if the pace worked well too, and more players for console! 32 would be ace plzplzplz

Halo doesn't suck. You don't like it but the game (Or the series) don't suck. It's too populair to suck.

I don't believe halo sucks - i voted it as the game that brought my attention to gaming. I mean there seems to be room on the market for a sophisticated, maybe tactical futuristic war game, but there doesnt seem to be room for another 'fun fast paced' game like halo; it is good enough to hold its own post. What I would like is a mix between tactics and fast pace. Cod meets BF2(142), the CoD pace, style and gameplay

you can no doubt admit that halo is overrated, correct? Perhaps it is okay in its own little world. But that is it, for a very specific type of 'gamer' who wants something very specific it is decent. It is not a god of games and its quality does not even come close to matching up with many PC titles (far cry 2, bia, cod1, half life 2, etc.) The main reason I dislike it, beyond its not-so-special gameplay is the fact that it is so overrated and the people who play it tend to be complete fucktards in every way imaginable.

Normally, it would be like a normal plain cake. It tastes ok, and is good if there is nothing better around. However, because of the fans and overrated crap it is like a normal plain cake covered in huge wet gobs of shit. I wouldn't even want to come within a hundred feet of it. I never want to be associated with a fanbase of such idiocy and gaming ignorance. They bring our world down through their stupidity and for that the game deserves to die.

45% of America voted for McCain/Palin. McCain wanted to put fresh veterans out of Iraq into schools as teachers without any preliminary tests to see if they qualified. Palin didn't know Africa was a continenet. What is popular isn't always good.

45%? (never looked at the actual percentages) considering Obama got some 300ish electoral votes and McCain got 160ish, that's interesting.


Halo is addicting because of the first halo's story imo. it was something new and had an awesome multiplayer (for the pc, imo). halo 2 sucked more than halo 1, and halo 3 was just plan out crap. In a way, its like CoD. Cod1 was awesome, cod2 was decent(only stating this from what i've heard, because i've only played cod1,3,4,and 5), and it pretty much got worse from there on out (again from what i've heard people say, although it isn't my opinion). But people still play because CoD1 and 2 were the shit. when the next halo comes out, most of the fanboys and new comers will think its great, and old-time players who played from halo 1 will probably leave if they aren't a fanboy. but for cod6 to be a "halo" style game, i hope that they meant theme-wise and not gameplay-wise.

You always speak as if you are right and others are not, I've noticed that in the games forum aswell.

If you say xbox people say Halo
If you say Nintendo people say Mario
If you say PlayStation people say ??? I got no clue, Solid Snake ?
If you say PC, well, that's obvious > CoD!

It's a matter of opinion. Sure, a lot of Halo gamers want a life-sized Master Chief in their bed-room and same goes for WoW. People spend hundreds of euros on Trading Card Games just to get that one rare card in which they can get a tiny pet or a mount or whatever in WoW. You also have those people who go Tuesday already at 18:00 to the shop and wait till midnight near the shop in order to be one of the first to obtain their WotLK game.

You have sad fucks, but doesn't mean everybody is one.

I say what I say as if it were facts because it is the easiest way to express myself online. And, for the most part, what I am saying in this situation I believe to be facts. I'm not just some idiot who randomly decides to hate something, I research and learn before I start debates. I've played racing, rts, fps, sport, rpg, mmo, adventure, and just about any other genre you can name on just about any platform you can name. I've been gaming since I was 3. True, what certain people find good and fun is an opinion, but the quality of the game and gameplay is fact.

The truth about Halo gameplay is anyone can throw a game like that together. There is no hard work put into the game design, it is mindless action with random guns random people think up. Someone said one day at Bungie, hey, lets make grenades that stick to the enemy, that would be cool. And it was done. Someone said hey, lets make a sword that kills people instantaneously. So they told their art directors to make an awesome sword and it was created. If you compare that to a game like TF2 there is no contest. Every single aspect of TF2 has been balanced and rebalanced through infinite testing and patches. Compare it to FC2. They actually went on a Safari in Africa to understand what it was like and create proper immersion.

I respect games for how much work went into them mentally, not just how much work went into making the levels an graphics. I wouldn't hate Halo if it weren't so popular. But, after going to school with a bunch of assholes who talk like they're gamers and brag about their amazing 5 kill streak on Halo you learn to hate very quickly. I don't care how tolerant you are, if you are put in a situation like that, you are going to end up hating those people and the thing that makes those people the thing that you hate. Tbh, I don't give a flying fuck about the 5% of people who play Halo who are actually true gamers because in my eyes they aren't gamers. Even if they've played other games like Call of Duty and still come back to Halo, I still don't consider them gamers. They have found the shallow, repetitive, untalented, immature gameplay in Halo more addictive than a game with actual substance and for that I cannot respect them.

I really disagree with you and I think u didn't play the game properly if you think the gameplay sucks hell out of it. Your opinion is founded on some guys at your school. It's not possible to rate a game purely impartial cuz of the likes and dislikes of each person differ from the others. Ok maybe you can say something about the quality of the game and I think Halo 1 was a milestone on Xbox. The story was really cool and it's the only game with aliens I like, just something cool and exciting and new. As I already said it's a game for the xbox and the PC conversion is just shit but the aiming and gameplay is perfect for a console and just makes fun for some rounds in multiplayer. Also I prefer the coop modus and I played like thousand times the mission of the controll room(I know only the german mission title). And the point is that not just everybody can throw a game like this together because it is more as "grenades that stick to the enemy". It's all together that makes Halo 1 a great game with fascinating story and gameplay. And the designs are unique and not just some cheap work.

But as almost everygame series it got worse and worse with each new part and they multiplayer of the Halo 3 isn't really good. The server searching sucks and much more I played it only because I wanted to know how the story ends. But I refer here to the first part and I just can't understand why in your opinion the gameplay sucks and why you call it that it is a "fact". I just wanna know the developers go outer space to study the immersion of aliens and spaceships like FarCry2, and I don't like FarCry2 maybe wow have a look at the graphics but the story is boring and monotonous compared to Halo. I want to state out that you claim that your "facts" are real and for all people but that isn't true. It's ok if you say you don't like it and give the reasons why but the only thing you were referring to were those guys and your so called research.

Maybe I can't express myself not so good in english as in german but I hope you understand what I want to point out.

[Soviet]

I'm not referring to Halo 1. Nobody I know even plays it anymore. Why? Because 99% of the shitfaces who played Halo are idiot fanboys who are obsessed with every new thing that comes along and don't respect the better thing. I've never played Halo 1, so I can't really give an opinion on it, however, my statement for 2 and 3 stands. I played 2 for several hours and I've watched quite a few videos of 2 and 3 online gameplay. My reference to Far Cry 2 was not a direct statement that they should do what Ubisoft did. I was noting an extreme dedication towards a specific part of their game they were focusing on. It is the same way Valve is still releasing patches for Half Life 1 even though it was released 10 years ago. Nothing stands out about [new] Halo gameplay. Everything about it has been done before and done better.

[[SoE]_Zaitsev]

There you have it. You played Halo 2 for a few hours (Not finished it) and you watched movies on the third Halo. And you never played the first Halo either

Like I said, it's YOUR opinion. It's not a fact. You know nothing, watching some movies etc doesn't get you anywhere.

[The Dude]

what i saw now from cod5 (singel & multiplayer) is shit , everything what come in cod6 could be only better as this *game*.
