At least Robby and Emccky know their FPS games.

At least Robby and Emccky know their FPS games.

They also know how to criticize a game without supporting evidence.

Personally, I believe that people who think Halo sucks were the ones who got their asses whooped in multiplayer and yelled, "FCKING HACKERZ@!!" *

Stuff > Halo 2, IMO.

If it sucks so bad, then why is there tons of reviews giving it 10's or high 9's? Answer that for me.

Because it's incredibly overhyped and has a legion of fanboys rivaling Bible Bangers. No magazine is going to give it low scores, because their subscriptions would halve overnight. Fanboys that make up 90% of gamers don't want to see reviews, they want entertainment. Gamespot played to every fanboys' rage, and what happens as a result? Their hits triple. Oh wait, that's good for them, since they are, in fact, a corporate website.

And don't say because of hype/suspense, because no professional game mags review games right after getting hyped up about it.

Yeah, they wait three or four months and then review it after millions of people have already bought and played it.
Read above.

ADDING, of course, to the fact that console gamers are much more mainstream and thus, more succeptable to hype, than PC gamers. There's a reason HL2 didn't score 100%'s across the board (although it still beat Halo 2, which isn't even on the top 10 at gamerankingsa nymore), purely because we know better. We know a game can never be perfect. We've been through Daikatana, we're more mature, and we can tell a good game from a bad one (Enter the Matrix sold what, 100 million units?)

Here's the reason I'm anti-halo. If Halo 2 was the exact same game, everything was exactly the same, only it wasn't a sequal to Halo (the only game in history more overhyped than Halo 2), it wouldn't have gotten half the media attention or sales this one is meriting. I doubt the reviews would even be as good, for reasons stated above. I hate hype, I hate fanboys, and I hate dumbasses- Halo retards fit into all three catagories. I have yet to encounter a more ignorant and irritating fanbase from any game, ever. And I've been playing games for a long time.

I have played it and didn't enjoy it. It's not fun having 1 million things to do on a controller either.

Also, Halo 2 = Halo 1 but few new maps and guns and DOUBLE GUN OH NOES! I enjoyed it for like a few minutes but got bored. Just isn't as fun as everyone claims it to be..

Anti- I have nothing to argue with that, you definitely hit home

Tsutter, emmcky, robbyzero...
That is how a point is made, rather than, "Halo 2? More like GAYlo 2 LOL!"

Halo 2 does seem more like an expansion pack than a sequel however.

Halo 2 rocks. and i've only played it once. i played the original halo at a friends house (he let me do a few levels and NOW I WANT MY OWN XBOX WITH HALO!!!) and basically got me addicted. If you haven't played the game, don't say it sucks. You don't have any right to say that. once you've played it at least once (and i mean not just turning the machine on then off) then say something. AND PLAY FOR AT LEAST AN HOUR!!! no bull plop of only playing until you die. actually TRY to enjoy the game. don't be a moron and hate it just because there's no new game play. look at mario, sonic, and heck i'll even go out on a limb here and say pong!!!! none of them ever came up with new game play engines when they were big and yet, each sequel was just as popular as the first. all were just as fun. they just had stuff ADDED TO THEM!!! that's the problem with most sequels today. they try and do new game engines and that normally kills the franchise. look at what happened with FFX-2 and FFXI. they tried new engines and didn't work. AND I LOVE FINAL FANTASY!!!! just final fantasy was MEANT to be linear. Just like halo was meant to be an FPS. if it went to say a more final fantasy style battle, would it be any better. odds are no. like the old sayin goes, "if it ain't broken, don't fix it."

Ok, Squeek is here.

Halo sucks. Halo 2 sucks. No, I'm not basing this opinion on ranking or fanbased support. It really does suck.

First of all, when you make a game, you should consider making it WORK on the console you're releasing it on. Meaning, I shouldn't be seeing non-loading textures every 2 minutes!

Second, when you're dual-weilding, why is it that you drop the other gun when you swing one? Can you not move your right arm without dropping a gun in the left?

Third, nice storyline folks. Hey, I'm Master Chief. I'm going to be the person you play as for a while. Oh no, climactic event, and now you're the Arbiter! Wait, what? Umm....

Now, I really don't want to hear "SKQQE U DINT PALY IT @ ALL! U PROLY PLAYD 4 LIEK 5MINTES OR SUMFIN LOL". I played the first Halo all the way through and got through several chapters of the second one.

Also, noob poster above me? Yea, please tell me you're joking. What HASN'T been new and innovative with all the sequel games? Super Metriod -> Metroid Prime? They're totally the same, right? How about Super Mario World -> Super Mario 64 -> Super Mario Sunshine? Or include Paper Mario in that? And, you know, there's nothing new from Sonic the Hedgehog 2 -> Sonic Adventure -> Sonic Heroes.

Final Fantasy hasn't been getting better since its NES / SNES days.

Heh, punching is over powered. I took on three people at once while playing oddball. I had the ball... they all had guns/swords... Much hillarity insued.

Fun game, but I'm not going to buy an X-box to play it.

[banditcom]

People who bash Halo because it's overhyped need to get lives. It's like how a woman bashes another girl who is good looking, calling her a slut, etc. It's retarded. Yea, some games should sell more. Halo is overrated, I agree. But they're still good games regardless.

I don't find GTA fun... but you don't hear me bitching about how much it sells more than Metroid.

[emccky]

It's pretty sad X-Box owners can only discuss Halo 2 because that is the only game on X-Box worth buying I suppose. I still say PS2 and for that matter, GC owns X-box. X-Box fanboys are annoying and narrowminded, can only see things made for their system to be good.

Uh, you played a messed up copy of the game. That doesn't happen in my friend's copy of the game. The graphics flow with no ghosting or loading of any sort.

[Squeek]

I've heard it was a problem with every version.

Maybe you don't pay attention enough. Watch MC's armor during cutscenes and such.

~Squeek

PS - It happens in Fable too.

sorry...the only time I've seen this happen is when I'm losing connection to xbox live. Graphics flow perfectly for me.

Don't make stupid comments like this. It makes your argument seem less intelligent.

So narrow-minded gamecube fanboys aren't annoying?

[emccky]

Everyone that is a fanboy is narrow-minded. Be it PS2, GC, or X-Box.

[Lupin_the_3rd]

I think you're just jealous that Halo titles don't come out on playstation
