CoD4's single player campaign nearly blew my nuts off with awwness. I don't think Ive ever come close to actually being amazed at any other single player game besides Half Life 2. The sniper mission and the B52 bomber (or w/e the hell the name for the airplane is) mission was sublime.  ahhhh_crap wrote:no, splinter has ethics and whut has emotions

lol, the funniest part is when you say other games either don't have vehicle, or they are undeveloped if they do have them. Halo's vehicles, weapons, art design, and storyline are the most stock and generic space marine garbage we get in any space/future shooter. The only difference is the new vehicles suck worse than the old ones and looks like someone who loves He-man too much made them.
I'm not a mean guy (just sarcastic, cynical, and sometimes an asshole who gets drunk and punches and kids), but I hate hearing Halo get praised and other much better games get pushed aside. I'm glad COD4 blew away Halo's lackluster thunder. i never said that other games didnot have vehicles... im only referring to online multiplayer. Campaigns are worthless especially FPS campaigns as they are all linear and not too inspiring. I agree with you that the halo story line is not great and not inspiring. Halo excells in its multiplayer as you can see well over 500,000 players on a nighlty basis playing halo. COD4 only has about 150,000. Im not saying COD4 is bad, i love the game but its not inovative, its just dont extremely well with few flaws. Halo manages to incorporate team play and strategy on levels beyound who can point and shoot the most accurately. UT3 I never liked because the weaponry was not balanced very well, and the mods created for the game began to take over. That and the game felt too much like an arcade game. Battlefield games are decent but they spent so much time developing the vehicles, which i add are great especially the helicopters and vehicles, but developers did not develop the foot soldiers very well. There was alot of player movement problems and some effects looked dull or unrefined. (notice im using paragraphs?) sammo id love to see your evidence where cod4 "blew away halo's lackluster thundr." Id like you to show me other CONSOLE games that rival the population that plays halo 3 on xbox live? i havent even finished the halo 3 campaign yet.....why? cause it prolly is a waste of time ....its the multiplayer thats great You are using paragraphs, but the grammar and spelling are still needing work; it's OK though. Halo 3's multi-player fails for these reasons: 1.) Weapon Balance: You are praising the balance of Halo 3, but have you ever picked up a mauler? Then again, have you ever picked up and duel-wielded two maulers? OK then, on that fact, you cannot tell me that Halo 3 has weapon Balance. 2.) Spawn point issues: When I am sniping someone, there should be no logical reason an enemy spawns right behind me. Spawn point issues are a huge problem, and 3.) Terrible Mechanics: No falling damage? Floaty, low gravity jumping? Bland melee combat? More than plenty of terrible vehicle choices, which outnumber the decent vehicles. Terrible map design overall? Wow, Halo 3 really has a lot going for it, so to speak. 4.) Terrible Art Direction: Halo 3 looks like a Crayola box exploded, and somehow a video game was created from that mess. 5.) XBOX Live Community, on the whole, includes the most racist, ignorant, homophobic gamers on the planet. For the most part, any game I get into on LIVE has at least one whiney kid who talks too much, or several of the aforementioned players. 6.) No Dedicated Servers: Now, I'm sure you will tell me you get into good games with decent latency and all that, but Halo 3 is a huge reason why there should be dedicated servers for these games. 7.) Forge Is 99% Crap: This is one of the most overrated feature in a game I have come across. There isn't even an option to wipe all the items from the map and start from scratch. LAME! This mode is half-assed, but it gets two times the credit for it! Give me a map 'creator', and then you will have something to brag about, or even something to make me interested. 8.) Unbalanced Vehicles: The Vehicles seriously need to be nerfed. They are largely overpowered, and the best example is the Hornet. 9.) Too Much Garbage: Crap map design, weapons and items that should be in the MP...but aren't, lame choice of character customization, and bland weapons. Now, to be fair, number 5 is not really something against Halo 3 itself, but the only way to play Halo 3 online is through LIVE, and so it does detract from the experience. COD4 is fun, but it has it's problems as well. Spawn point issues and balance issues with the air strikes/helicopters, but the game is still tons more fun to play. Also, it is grossly inaccurate to state that FPS's campaigns are "all linear and too uninspiring". If you think this, then you have never played COD2, COD4, Undying, Deus Ex, Half Life and it's add-ons, Half Life 2 and it's add ons, Alien VS Predator 2, Rainbow Six #Whatever, Far Cry, Crysis, etc, etc. If console FPS are more your thing, the Orange Box is available and will kick the shit out of Halo 3 with ANY of the games in that box, including TF2 with it's 100% stellar online play (but you have to play with a ton of people who don't understand TF2). The Darkness is a top notch shooter, Gears of War is a decent shooter with OK multi-player (which I like better than Halo 3), and several others. You see, there is more than Halo 3 out there. I'm not saying you can't like Halo 3, I just hate seeing such an average game get the grandiose treatment when it comes to shooters. There are more attractive, deep, and enjoyable fish in the sea, if you wish to use that analogy. I have played FPS games since Hovertank 3D, and have played almost every FPS game since then, so I have a little bit of knowledge when it comes to shooters.....but hey, enjoy your cliche' space marine with the deadpan voice.

I have played FPS games since Hovertank 3D, and have played almost every FPS game since then, so I have a little bit of knowledge when it comes to shooters.....but hey, enjoy your cliche' space marine with the deadpan voice. Ok lets begin sammo.... 1) You state weapons are unbalanced. If you knew the purpose of each when then you would know they are balanced. The maulers are decent at extremely close range (dual maulers arent that great). Sword trumps mauler close range and shotgun trumps all short range weapons. Maps which have maulers there will be more maulers on map to counter shotguns superiority. Rockets are not overpowered as they have a somewhat slow velocity and can not lock onto vehicles any longer. All kids I know that play the game casually (aka n00bs) over think maulers bla bla bla. Maulers are easy to recognize and if you notice them keep your distance and you can counter them. Same with shotgun. 2) Yes spawn issues are present but only on two maps....i forget the maps names but for the most part the spawning is decent. Most games ie, cod4 have horrible spawn problems that pit you right in the fight. Halo 3 has its problems but no offense snipers should not be scoped in camping ...so spawning behind you shouldnt be that big of a problem. 3) terrible mechanics. OK so theres no fall damage. the game isnt meant to be REALISTIC its supposed to create a competitive environment. Get over the no fall damage its not that big of a deal, your shields absorb it. Bland melee combat? Short range combat once you get over the melee move is amazing. Try no scoping a kid then melee with sniper for instant kill? try melee head shot combo with Battle rifle. Now you state terrible vehicles? Ok so in ranked multiplayer you know all thats used is the mongoose, warthog, and ghost. In unranked there is rarely banshee and wraith. Mongoose outnumber warthog since mongoose are much weaker but speed make them ideal for getting behind enemy lines or a quick flag cap. Warthogs are more of your fire superiority vehicle. Rocket pods and spartan lazer, or a decent sniper can counter these vehicles. Ghost has speed and decent fire but lacks agility and is extremely vulnerable from behind. 4) terrible art? UM have you seen some of the maps? they went for the sci fi look and i think they hit it right on the nail 5) they is a thing called mute........im assuming you hate those kids tho cause you are probably terrible and they just rip into you for sucking. Dont play with me then id do the same 6) no dedicated servers....HMM trying to find a console game with dedicated servers? hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. stupid comment. Bungie runs off servers for ranking system....you cant rank a public server. And if you wnat to create your own gametypes theres custom game .....not having dedicated servers makes things a little easier for everyone which is ideal for the average console user. 7) forge takes time......Theres alot you can do with it within reason. You can create maps for gametyypes such as infection and what not. Purpose of forge was allow the custom game players freedom to adapt maps to their specific needs. to allow specific spawn regions, weapon spawns etc to match their rules. i think its a great idea. of course you cant create an entirely new map you can work with the map a bit 8) I chuckled at this comment cuz this is when I knew you lack experience with halo 3 online (although your mauler comment was laughable too). there is no hornet on multiplayer and yes hornet would own...thats why its not in ANY matchmaking game type......same with the human tank 9) trying to think what items that should be in multiplayer that arnt........other than the hornet which you apparently hate sammo im assuming your a rnak no higher than 20 and that your are horrible at this game. IE mauler, hating all the kids that are mean on xbox and the hornet comment. 20 is a high bar tho. and to your comment about FPS campaigns being uninspiring..ALL fps start with small amounts of enemies who are weak and end with a shit ton of hard enemies...same old thing. ive played and beatn cod 2, HL, HL2 and squels, red factions, tribe...bla bla bla COD 2 is definatnly not inspiring its ur STANDARD fucking ww2 game. nothing new about that game except some random features. Sure HL2 has a gravity gun.....whoopdy fucking doo. its sstill the same shit....

It is funny how you brought up the energy sword, considering it was THE most OP thing about halo 2 and they "balanced" it by adding charges on halo 3. You can't even tell me that the weapon isn't overpowered to even a shotgun. You don't even have to aim the fucking thing, you can use it while you are "floating" down from buildings and it always kills. ALWAYS. The only way to balance the weapon would be to have a smaller charge radius but it almost seems they made it bigger. Oh how about we add some more shitty useless weapons like the spartan laser that is ONLY practical for killing vehicles because they took the homing rockets out. Oh come on, you can't tell me that HL2 campaign wasn't awesome. You must not of played many fps before it then. Being able to manipulate most of the terrain with your grav gun was simply amazing. Hell the fact that Halo 3 got such a good rating with its campaign just made me sick (and yes I completed it). How many times could you possibly rehash the same fucking story? Bottom line is, you are stupid and CoD4 owns Halo 3. Not The Face wrote:nate burn in hell asswipe Lead Salad wrote:And he promises to beat up any suspicious negroes and their children as well.

Purpose of forge was allow the custom game players freedom to adapt maps to their specific needs. to allow specific spawn regions, weapon spawns etc to match their rules. i think its a great idea. of course you cant create an entirely new map you can work with the map a bit 8) I chuckled at this comment cuz this is when I knew you lack experience with halo 3 online (although your mauler comment was laughable too). there is no hornet on multiplayer and yes hornet would own...thats why its not in ANY matchmaking game type......same with the human tank 9) trying to think what items that should be in multiplayer that arnt........other than the hornet which you apparently hate sammo im assuming your a rnak no higher than 20 and that your are horrible at this game. IE mauler, hating all the kids that are mean on xbox and the hornet comment. 20 is a high bar tho. and to your comment about FPS campaigns being uninspiring..ALL fps start with small amounts of enemies who are weak and end with a shit ton of hard enemies...same old thing. ive played and beatn cod 2, HL, HL2 and squels, red factions, tribe...bla bla bla COD 2 is definatnly not inspiring its ur STANDARD fucking ww2 game. nothing new about that game except some random features. Sure HL2 has a gravity gun.....whoopdy fucking doo. its sstill the same shit.... Congratulations, your title as Idiotic Halo Fanboy is intact and will not be going away. ALL Sony first party online games have dedicated servers, and Resistance Fall of Man can have 40......let me repeat that Nate, 40 players in the game with 0 lag. I have played plenty of Halo 3, enough to get to Lieutenant Grade 1, so I am just a "little" bit above level 20. I also would like to thank you for allowing me to easily win this "debate" by not offering any type of counter point...whether you know it or not. Go with God child, and have fun in your land of Halo. There the Kool-aid runs deep, and it runs in a nasty Spartan green.

rofl@sammo In an hour of Darkness a blind man is the best guide. In an age of Insanity look to the madman to lead the way.

terrible nate they countered the sword with a smaller radius that the sword can lunge toward....and the spartan lazer is a great weapon. Its not as easy to use as the rockets in halo 2 but its meant to be used as a sniper rifle. like i said if you guys had experience.....
the sword in halo 2 was dominate its much lesss effective now and shotgun DOES much better against sword as theres a delay between lunge to contact for the player. SHotgun is instant.
oh sammo Lt grade 2 is garbage...Im a brigadier with a high rank of 48. I have played a ton and I have played a ton of COD 4. I never said COD4 was not bad but halo does a great job incorporating vehicles is all, no other game did it quite the same .
And sammo how did u win the debate? id love to play u 1v1 in cod 4 or halo3. \\\
oh and terrible nate thanks for ur great input......i mean seriously this topic had nothing to do with single player mode....i admitted halo series has a mundane story.....and yes ive played a SHIT load of FPS thank you very much as I used to work as a game tester and sure Half Life had a cool story line but like I said it was your typical shooter. grav gun was cool but didnt add too much to the gameplay. Games like socom navy seals that use voice recognition software to command your team is innovative, that wasnt.
And like i said sammo you need to play beyound lt grade 2 to learn how to actualy play the game........
