It's not that half life sucks. It's that newer games are better in a certain sense

S-a-r-c-a-s-m, spells sarcasm!   

Also I was talking about core gameplay mechanics.  Not graphics and different new features.  Obviously games have gotten better and better when it comes to user interfaces, graphics, etc etc.

Halo 1 blows poop andrew, everyone on this forum wants new and better games. 

Well by your logic mr peter, Half Life really sucks.  We want new and better games!

BTW I found this quite interesting...  http://www.mlgpro.com/forum/showthread.php?t=338119

I gotta learn how to do that so I can straight up poop on someone around a corner when I have host    Then teabag them mercilessly.

Cod4 is pretty killer on pc imo. We play a lot of good tactical mods around here. Personally all I have played is odst and it sucked balls. I'm a little gun shy to buy another halo

lol ODST = Halo 3.  It was just a campaign expansion, not even a full halo game.  And Halo 3 is easily the worst of the series.  I haven't played much Halo 2, so here's how I would rate them:

H1>HR>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>H3

Reach has it's problems.  All games do.  But it'll be worth your time.  Just keep in mind it's obviously not going to have modding tools and all that advanced stuff like pc games do.  But Reach Forge is as good as it gets for consoles.  I personally think the core gameplay of Reach is absolutely fantastic.  Bungie really did good with the weapon sandbox and Armor Abilities.  The new guns like the Concussion Rifle, Grenade Launcher (aka PRO PIPE), Focus Rifle, DMR, Magnum, Needle Rifle, and the return of other classic weapons you'd expect to find in a Halo game (Sniper, Rockets, Shotgun, etc) make for a fabulous sandbox.

argggggg

i think i MIGHT get reach instead of MoH. still hard to tell. I guess its gonna depend how realistic CoD7 is gonna be and if i need that realism in MoH to balance it out

Well it all comes down to whether you want to go grab an energy sword and sprint across the map murdering everyone, or race RC cars.     (Reach>any CoD i've played)

The Mod tools aren't just getting "Upgraded".  They're getting REVAMPED x10! 



Halo Reach = Game of the Year simply because of this.

Halo and MW2 should never be used in the same sentence...

So satisfying to get that supercombine

psh, hate needle rifles...

I preferred the DMR, but the NR was damn accurate.

The ones you unlock as you play further into the match. Like the sword for the elite.

Oh.  Invasion.  Yea I would stick to the Needle Rifle or DMR.

I'm definitely getting this game. I absolutely love it.

I don't really like the higher weapon sets though

Higher?

i like halo alot as an alternative for CoD. However, i am not a fan of a constant RNG environment. I AM a huge fan of jumping 40 feet in the air tho

I'm not actually.  The moon gravity in H3 annoyed me... they need to make it more like the jump height in Halo 1.  Still pretty high though compared to CoD4.  I'm guessing RNG is Run and Gun?

So.  Halo Reach.  Now that the beta's over, thoughts?

Personally, I think this game, in it's BETA stage, is 10x the game Halo 3 was.  Hitscan weapons return, the pistol is good again (to a degree), no more slamming the trigger in the general area of an enemy to get a kill... skill seems to be back my friends.

However, I did find some problems.  For one, the movement speed is REALLY slow.  I thought it was slow in Halo 3, but it's even slower in Reach... lame.  This will probably be fixable in the custom options, but I still think Bungie needs to bump up the base player speed to where it was in Halo 1.

Also, even though I'm 100% for reticle bloom, I think it needs to reset faster, especially on the DMR.  It seems instead of forcing players to shoot carefully, it also encourages them to spam the trigger at close range, giving them a lucky headshot (and it happens more than it should).

So for the people who play Halo and played the beta, thoughts?

Actually, Halo Reach is Halo, CoDified.
(Not that it's a bad thing, bungie can do anything better than IW/Treyarch ever can)

I wouldn't say "CoDified".  More like Halo, but "Shadowrunified".  The sandbox designer for Halo Reach also was the sandbox designer for Shadowrun.  And the games are VERY similar.  I'd say the idea of Armor Abilities definitely came from Shadowrun, as did the characteristics of the bloom.

There is no more IW, basically.
Activision made a smart move in firing them, they had so much hype, they lazily put together a broken game.
This is true to its fullest.
Modern Warfare 2, is a broken, unpolished game, covered by it's hype.

Actually, I heard that IW didn't want to change the game to what Activision wanted (to what Activision thought would sell better), and IW refused to change it, so Activision fired them, and then made the changes they wanted.  What was the finished product?  MW2...  Activision sucks.

I also heard that there used to be a TON of recoil on most of the guns in MW2 in the alpha stages or something, and Activision wanted it changed.  They didn't want it to be too hard or something, and appeal to more people, therefore selling more copies.
