One thing the xbox OS is the best I\'ve seen yet. It\'s all green 3D like nightvision. The fan makes more noise than the PS2 but loading a DVD game make almost no noise. You also can download any of your favorite music CD on the HD and play it when you want. Now that was cool!
Damn the Halo game is one of the best I\'ve ever played. I just got off the spaceship and now got down on the planet. When I came out of my crash ship........I looked around and I said... WTF!! WOW!!! The aliens drop ship looks so cool coming right down where you just crash and jumps out and looking for you. I can\'t belive the textures on the grass, rocks and walls!! ULTRA detailed!! When I look up... I\'ve seen like a shooting star going up or somthing. That alone is real cool lighting. I bought a XBox magazine with the demo inside. I played Odd World and Cell Damage. Both was amazing! I\'m picking up Odd World and MaxPane too. XBOX ROCKS big time! :D

ddaryl, Halo gameplay is the best of all FPS! Your men tell you where to go and says all kinds of stuff in a battle shoot out. It\'s like the movie aliens when your in the spaceship. The Plasma lighting affects is real cool when you hit a wall, it glows on the wall for a bit. You also can use the dead aliens weapons too. As soon you get to the planet look all around at the sky...........ahhhh.... it\'s like you\'re there. I just bought Oddworld and can\'t wait to play it. I just pre-order the basketball game. You guys have to play Halo, it\'s an EXPERIENCE!! :D

I don\'t know... I didn\'t liked Halo all that much. Then again, I didn\'t liked Half Life either. Never got into it, and never could understand why are people raving about it.

Do you like any FPS games, or do you just not like those ones? Personally, my favorite PC FPS is Quake II with "The Reconing"(sp?) add on. Those multiplayer levels are the funnest MP levels I\'ve ever played. Half Life single player was pretty good, but the multi player (the part of FPSs that are played the most) didn\'t compare to QIIs IMO.

I have to wait for the X-Box another week or two :(

I can resist to play Halo. I have never liked FPS\'s.
But I still want an Xbox
-
Yeah i got my Xbox last saturday, and i am loving it very much, i got Halo as well, it is the best FPS i have played, the textures are very very good.
And i also got Project Gotham this morning, and that very very good too, seems lots of fun from the couple of races i played, also the music you put on your Hard drive you can play in this game, the DJ from the radio ststaion will start talking , then he intorduces the radio station, when you hear you music come in, it is very cool, i can\'t wait to play some more, but i am at work!!
Also on halo i played the odd wrold demo, and i really liked that too, my girlfriend started to play it too, she loves the little guys in that game!
-
pstwo,I\'m glad to here you got an xbox and like its truly an amazing systems. With tons of good games coming out. :thepimp: :thepimp: :thepimp:
-
Another XBox gamer. :rolleyes:
Only joking! Multiplatform gaming is what its all about. :)
-
I might break down and buy it after X-mas, I\'ve rented it a few times and like Halo very much. It\'s not that I don\'t like X-Box, I JUST FREAKIN HATE BILL GATES!!! But I\'ve had a long talk with myself about this, and hell why not give Satan some more of my money. Gotta spend it on something, might as well be an X-Box.
-
All FPS\' suck, unless its online multiplayer.
:fro: :fro: :fro:
-
isnt halo coming to PC and theres still a chance its coming to PS2
-
Still a chance for a PC version. PS2...no.
-

my geforce 3 covets it
-
mm: Just wait for an emulator. :yawn:
-
You are joking about it coming out for the ps2 arn\'t you?
MS brought Bungie...... still think it will come out for the ps2 now?

lol, yeah. It shouldn\'t be too long now. :) From what I\'ve heard, the Xbox has a lot of security issues that make it really hard to mess around with. The hackers (or whatever you call people who mess around with hardware and emulation) have been able to replace a few parts (like the cable between the HDD and the DVD rom to speed up saving), and have cracked the codes for the HDD (so now they can browse the HDD on their computer), but they haven\'t been able to completely crack the system yet. It\'s only a matter of time before the high end PCs will be able to play emulated Xbox games though.

Ethan_Hunt, Halo is one hell of a game. WOW!! The night battle is amazing! You troops flashlights look so real and when you turn on your flash ligh its real cool. That jeep truck is so cool to drive and the guner in the back kicks @ss. You can even have a 3rd person in the set and he will shoot also. It\'s soo cool that your able to jump in and out of the jeep anytime. LOL sometimes all my troops dies and I just jump out and go in the back and use the mounted gun and shoot the aliens. The jeep looks real detail too. The head lights looks nice in the dark when it hits the walls. I just got warp up in this very big spaceship me and my troops are kicking the aliens @ss! Where are you in Halo?

Last announcement MS cancelled the pc version. Unless you roomate with bill gates I would like to know when did they change there minds.
-
you didnt get the memo?
tsk tsk
god forbid that i was bill\'s roomate
i would piss in his coffee EVERY morning
-
I am at the snow level, i don\'t know what it is called, but it is very good, one bit in that level is just like a war.
But the trouble is i can\'t stop playing Project Gotham, it is really fun, and being able to play your own music i am in heaven, i have 44 tracks on my hard drive of my Xbox and it hasn\'t taken anything away from the 500000+ blocks, i really can\'t believe how good the xbox is.:D
-
I know what you say Ethan, besides completing Metal Gear, I haven\'t stopped playing xbox. The buzz will probably wear off eventually, but I\'m having a good time right now. I was certain I\'d love Halo, but PGR completely blindsided me, I never thought I\'d like that game as much as I do.
-
I did\'nt think anything could pry me away from Metal Gear Solid 2 but Halo has done it. Amazing, amazing, amazing. You\'re right, the Jeep does kick ass! LOL I\'ll finish up Metal Gear soon as I\'m done with this masterpiece. One question - why do the aliens speak english(even if its an annoying voice, haha)?
-
Would you recommend me buying a xbox over a ps2? I have two possible situations, Buy the ps2 now and wait for more games to come out for the xbox, or buy the xbox now and wait for the ps2 price to go down...hmm....
-
If you plan on playing games online--go with the xbox.
To go online you\'ll need to buy a Harddrive (not for all games, but MMPGs for sure) and a modem with the PS2.
If you can\'t live without Square (rumoured for xbox, but I\'ll believe it when I see it)--buy the PS2.
If you love Grand Turismo--buy PS2.
If you love FPS--buy xbox
If you want to be absolutely sure your console wont dry up--buy PS2.
If you want the most powerful console and/or you have a home theatre set up--buy xbox.
BUT
If you really want my opinion, buy both--that way you can\'t go wrong.
-
every line is drivel except the last one
which i agree with wholeheartedly
-
hi well for my opinion i have an x box with halo and i agree it\'s one of the best games i ever played, i must say i think those textures halo has would not be possible on the ps2, all around the x box it\'s a great console except for the lack of rpg\'s :( , thats why i am also planing to get a ps2 once it gets a price drop so i can play all of squaresoft games :) that way i can have the best of both worlds :)
in a rating of 5/5 i give the x box 5/5 in hardware and 3/5 in software
and for the ps2 3.5/5 in hardware, and 5/5 in software
see ya kero kero! ^_^

And too bad it will only be optimized for the GeForce1. In other words, it will look like ass. It\'s not like the PC is getting a superior version or anything. But if you\'re buying it for online multiplayer, then you won\'t be disappointed. However, if you think that Halo on PC will actually take advantage of your GeForce3, keep dreaming.
-
pc version optimized for the geforce 1 when the xbox graphics chip is ALREADY more advanced then a geforce 1?
why optimize it for 2 year old techology?
:rolleyes:

Fitting punishment for that farce that is Windows XP

I\'m more in Halo like the 3rd level and in the alien ship, talk about Bump Mapping!! It\'s all over the place. It\'s on the walls to the floor! What an affect. Nice touches. I can\'t wait to get in the Tank. :D
Heres the Jeep its real cool to drive hard to steer. It has 4 wheel steering. The cam goes where you steer. You can pick up men and they will shoot in all angles!! Real cool!!

This is the level I\'m on. You have to get to the mother ship and get out your captian. I\'ve not got out alive yet! :mad:

This snow level is sweet, I\'m not there yet.

I can\'t wait to get into this tank.

Some of those aliens have some type of shield that they hold. I found out if you use alien guns, the shields gets lost and blast\'em up!!

If you shoot off the alien in there tank, you\'ll able to use it on them. You can see the bump mapping on the ground next to him. When you get in the ailen mother ship you see it all over the ground and the walls.

Heres where I\'m at, you have to make it to the port to get in the mother ship to get the captian out of there alive. Talk about gameplay!!

Halo has GOT to be Game Of The Year.. and you don\'t see any PS2 games coming out like that, EH!? Sorry folks, X-Box is gonna smoke PS2 and GC. Yeah, the selling rate for PS2 is higher then both X-Box and GC together, but by the end of 2002, X-Box will be in the lead. PS2 has been out longer then both systems, what do you expect?! Graphics, speed, and every kind of game from kid games to adult games, are what makes a game system.
PS2 has been weighed.
PS2 has been measured.
And PS2 has been found wantin.
Take a look around you.
Welcome, to a new world.
-
umm dude you do realize that Xbox really only has one or two games that would even be considered great buys imo
sure there are other great games but they dont warrent a buy to me - a good rent but not a buy
also if you think Xbox is gonna sale like hot cakes in japan then think again - everyone better hope they sale good in US or its not gonna make - just saying
also PS2 has games for all ages too i might add
-
lol, i love how people rant and rave about the xbox, and then proceed ONLY to post halo pics
300$ for only one A+ game?
*shudder*
-
One thing the xbox OS is the best I\'ve seen yet. It\'s all green 3D like nightvision. The fan makes more noise than the PS2 but loading a DVD game make almost no noise.
Correction: That has nothing to to with the O/S. What u see on the screen is the UI(User Interface) get it? :)
anyway, I can live without Halo or Max Payne or Half Life or Quake or just about any FPS in the world no matter how good it looks.
Gimme FF and hardcore RPG action anyday.
-
I love how some ppl that ranted and raved about the Xbox and actually went out and spent 300$ and exercised independant thought and judged whether they liked or disliked their investment for their own reasons, irregardless of what some faceless reviewer wrote or what others they don\'t know personally over the internet thought, and found out they liked more than just one game. The world is definately in trouble when ppl no longer think for themselves.
*shudder*
-
300$ for only one A+ game?
How many triple a games were there when the PS2 launched? Hmmmmm?
Ace
-
and the xbox came out how much longer than the PS2 and had how much more time to further develop A+ titles?
-
Well, each system that has come out before it has had a spotty launch line up at best.
I think it is natural for developers to need more time than they get before a system is launched.
Tell me which system has had a stellar line up from day one.
Maybe I \'m missing something.
Ace
P.S.
BTW, Merry Christmas.:)

hmmm, its been a collective thorn in the gamer\'s side for years
every console is plagued with poor launch titles
the Dreamcast has more A+ titles than any other console in recent history, me thinks
/me hugs my DC

/Joins MM in hugging the good ole\' DC.
The DC launch was awesome in my humble opinion. What other console had such great games such as SOnic Adventure, House of the Dead 2 and Soul Calibur at launch? None. Then again, I loved the N64 launch...Mario and PilotWings! What else could a gamer want?
;)
-
Hugging your consoles???
How fruity...
Be a bit more masculine...
Just tuck yourself in at night with it...
:laughing:
-
i dont think ps2\'s launch over any other console matter at all. Even if the xbox had a better launch it wouldnt matter because ps2 has already established its good titles which far out-do 2 or three really good xbox games, (its only an opinion!). So you could only consider games at this current point. no buts about it. Capiche?
-
No, I don\'t.
-
I just bought my X-Box this week, I rented Halo, and the game is AWESOME! I\'ve been playing this game NON STOP, and I don\'t really even like FPS, but this game is AWESOME!
-
I have finished Halo and I\'ll stay with my opinion that it is the finest FPS ever to grace a console but I do have an issue with the end of the game when there is some SERIOUS slowdown while driving the warthog. Maybe this is because the game was rushed to get it out perhaps I don\'t know? The game is tremendous and I had a blast but I hope that Bunjie, in the sequel(and if you see the end its clear there will be one)takes their time and puts out a game visually as impressive as this but with no slowdown. There is also some SLIGHT slowdown earlier in the game when alot of enemies are on the screen at the same time. There IS a TON of action in this game though. They come at you in swarms sometimes and the carnage flying everywhere is something to be seen!
