That shield looks VERY nice.

Cool stuff. i actually saw the commercial on Monday night.

Now I need to set aside some extra cash to pick up a system. They're still too pricey for my liking though.

[Mechadon]

Great trailer. I hope they expand on Master Chief's background in the final game. It's like those flashback sequences on Lost.

I was just planning on creating an offical Halo thread for these forums. Looks like you beat me to it. Is there any way that you can change the title to "The Halo Thread". We should post in this thread when we want to talk about Halo.

Done.

I'm playing through 2 again. Though the story isn't as great as the first ones, I like shooting Brutes.

[KyoZaber]

Hmm...
I've been thinking about getting a 360 just for the Halo series of games.
I'm still getting used to the control layout, however that's not why I like it.
The story is pretty nifty.

The movie doesn't look too bad.

[Helios]

Well I just saw the 'Starry Night' trailer for Halo 3 and it looks awesome! I can't wait for this game to come out.

I LoL'ed quite nicely at this, as most FPS games are like this online.

Halo sucks.

Seriously.

So, Halo sucks right? Care to discuss it? This is a discussion board if I remember correctly. If you have nothing to say, then you're just spamming. You're not a spammer are you Burky? (Oh wait, *looks at post count* maybe that explains it)

I'm serious. We are going to discuss why Halo as a whole sucks. Or maybe we can look at specific games in the series. I know a few Halo fans who argue that Halo 2 sucks.

[Takila]

EDIT: The flood made me do it. 

Yeah, I've got a bit of a gripe over Halo... lets just say that it's why I'm not playing video games as much these days.

Perhaps my post count is because I've been here a lot longer than about 95% of you all. And yes, my ultra high 1.97 posts per day is just SO bad... I should never post again!

As for Halo sucking, it indeed sucks. I've played both versions and despite the great reviews I've heard from people about it, I personally didn't enjoy it. Probably because I was raised on Half-Life, Deus Ex and now the ultra cool Half-Life 2 and it's follow up episodes. All through Univeristy, my fellow floor buds had LAN games for Counter-Strike, DoD and the like, but we also had gaming night of other venues, such as Halo and Halo 2 and any other FPS's out there for different systems. I tried playing the Halo series, did pretty good score-wise for not owning an X-Box myself, but didn't have as much fun as Lanning it up for CS or DoD. The Halo controls seemed too clunky for me and the gameplay was nothing original, the graphics I don't really care for as I look for gameplay rather than "Ohh that's pretty" sort of approach. The HL series has provided me so much entertainment in these past years with the Mod community and map making and all the other editting possible with the engine, that is what keeps gamers faithful. So there, Halo sucks, but it is my opinion and I gave it; so you can take it or leave it.

So sit down, Mech, and know your place.

Is that enough of an explaination for you, or am I "spamming" again?

My Gravity Gun beats your Lazer Sword anyday.

BurkeWorld

Yes. I'm am satisfied with your opinion. At least it lost to worthy opponents such as CS and DOD. If you would have said something like Metroid Prime was better, I would still hate you.
And yes the gravity gun does beat the plasma sword.

[BurkeWorld]

Metroid Prime and it's sequel is pretty good, but I can't overly compare them to Halo and Halo 2.

I don't have a GC nor an X-Box, the last system I owned was an N64, and it's almost 11 years old now.

In the end, we play whatever the hell we want and hate/rag on other games that are "rival's" to our fave games. There has always been a rift between Halo fans and Half-Life fans, so this is nothin' new.

In the end, happy fragging!

HALO 2 HAS NO STORYLINE, AND WAS ONLY MADE AS A MULTI-PLAYER ADDON TO THE FIRST HALO!

*Thud*

[Mechadon]

OMG! HALO 2 SOOOO DOES HAVE A STORYLINE> MASTER CHEIF WAS ALL LIKE "I NEED A WEAPON" AND THEN BOOM AND THEN THE ARBITER! THE ARBITER WAS ALL LIKE"TURN HERETIC" AND THE MASTER CHEIF AGAIN AND THE ODSTS AND DELTA HALO AND THE PROPHET OF REGRET AND THE OTHER BOOM AND THE "THIS IS NOT YOUR GRAVE BUT YOU ARE WELCOME IN IT" AND THEN THE ARBITER AGIAN WAS ALL GOING FOR THE INDEX AND THE FLOOD AND HALF-JAW AND THEN TARTAR-SAUCE WAS ALL LIKE "FOOL THEY ORDERED ME TO DO IT" AND THEN GRAVMIND WAS ALL LIKE "THOSE WHO BUILT THIS PLACE NEW WHAT THEY WROUGHT! DO NOT MISTAKE THEIR INTENT OR ALL WILL PERISH AS THEY DID BEFORE" AND THEN HIGH CHARITY AND THEN PROPHET OF TRUTH WAS ALL LIKE "KILL THE DEMON!" AND THEN THE ARITER AGIAN AND THEN THE FLOOD AGAIN AND THEN ARBITERS ALL LIKE "THERE ARE THINGS ABOUT HALO EVEN THE HIERARCS DO NOT UNDERSTAND" AND THEN TARTAR-SAUCE DIES AND THEN GUITLY SPARK IS ALL LIKE "WHY, THE ARC OF COURSE" AND THEN THE MASTER CHEIF IS ALL LIKE "FINISHING THIS FIGHT" AND THEN HALO 3! YAY!

*gasp*

I prefer Metroid, to be honest. I'm just a fan of Halo.

But we all know, that Black is perhaps the nicest FPS in history. and Doom.

[necron9dee9]

I liked CS and DoD up until every person in the world started playing with cheats. Then it just got irritating. I loved respawning and getting sniped through 15 buildings, hehe.

I never really got into Half-Life. The game(s) just didn't impress me at all when I played them.

Halo and Halo 2 were decent games. I have a soft spot for Goldeneye on the N64 though. Me and my friends wasted hours upon hours on that game when it first came out.

The last FPS that I really liked was Far Cry.

[Mechadon]

I would love to play CS and DoD again. I gotta get my copy of Half-Life back from my cousin.

[Threaux]

I've been playing Goldeneye source recently, its the same Goldeneye game everyone loves remade in the new source engine. 
http://www.goldeneyesource.com/

and FEAR Multiplayer and FarCry I was also just playing at few days ago at a LAN. 

[Takila]

Not to get on topic or anything, but...

We should have some sort of a list of halo 2 players here (orfrequently used names for Halo 1 on the PC).

Whenever I'm on Halo 1, I use the the username 'a vehicle' and am on the fastest server that I can find.
