Any of u got the latest Edge Magazine ??
Halo got TEN out of TEN
Mario 64 and Gran Turismo is the only other games that have ever got an Ten out of Ten from Edge...... this is incredible .
-
i really cant see how any FPS that doesnt support a mouse/keyboard gets a 10/10
im sure "edge" will be enjoying thier check from M$
*disclaimer*
yes, halo is groundbreaking in term of console FPS graphics, and i do like the game, but its no MOH, and gamepads + FPS\'s = suck
-
I agree MM, it should have lost it probally 1 mark. well i hate it anyway . . . .. . well i hate the fact its not coming to PS2
-
Well, about the gamepad.... Im not sure how it works, but most reviews says the gamepad works just fine with this game.
Sure keyboard + mouse is always the best, but I guess not everyone want to buy that to their Xbox.
Im looking forward to the PC release :)
Right now, Im more then happy with Return to castle Wolfenstein.
-
No one loves their KB + Mouse combo more than me,. but I guarantee you will get used to Halo\'s controls. The game is that good. Once you get sucked in, your hands will become one with the pad.
Trust me, after playing for hours, jumping around, strafing, dodging bullets, ducking, etc, it all becomes second-nature. Better than what the KB + Mouse would provide? No. But it\'s not that bad.
-
Hell Yeah!! This game ROX!!! Talk about troop war!!! Gun fire all over the place!!! You better take cover! :D
-
I\'d have to agree with the review--once you play the game you start to wonder if keyboard and mouse is really the way to go (it is, but it makes you wonder still). It is that good.
They should get an extra mark for making the pad work as well as they do. The game is phenominal and frankly, I don\'t like the idea of using a K&M combo in my livingroom..
-
I agree with mm, The controller setup will never be as accurate and comfy as a keyboard/mouse combo. And where is true online play, which halo was acually being developed for.
NO I see that they are biased once again, Halo is getting far too much credit IMO
-
/we waits for xbox zealot suxh as docwiz to come in here, and call you all PS2 fanboys and that Halo beats any PS2 game out there.
:rolleyes:
-

Play the game through a couple of levels, sitting on your couch, with a 5.1 system blaring, and then come back and say that again. (You won\'t.)
-
Well, I guess I have to buy an Xbox in March when it is released here in Europe.
-
Well x-box fan boyz, hate to burst your little bubbles but Metal Gear Solid 2 blows halo off the map, PERIOD !!! It\'s not even that close either !

Wow. That\'s a nice opinion you\'ve got there. :rolleyes:

Well then, thank you for clearing that up. Really. I mean, I wasn\'t sure, but now I know.
-
Hey no problem, need anything else cleared up let me know, im the man !

Sure. Howabout you explain to me the process of removing feces as it spurts out your mouth? The stink afterwards must be hell.

:) That made my day man, thanks. :laughing: Though if you want to spank my mom, you\'re more than welcome to. If that\'s your thing.
Before this thread goes downhill (too late?) -> I\'ll leave my [/@$sh0le mode] off.

LOL. I love your sarcastic humour........but, unfortunately, your "friend" doesn\'t understand it.

Look. I\'d rather play a console FPS on controller than a PC FPS with a keyboard and mouse. If I had spent the past ten years playing PC FPSs with a keyboard and mouse, I would probably feel differently. But I haven\'t.
I am simply saying, it is not a fact that PC FPSs are superior. It\'s an opinion.

i think that FPS take a little practice on the controller but once you get used to it i think it is much easier
-
You can\'t beat keyboard and mouse
-
Well all this is, is opinion. Personally I don\'t think anything beats Timesplitters\' controls
-
Frankly, I think it depends upon the execution of the game, whether the method of control matters or not. I\'d say that Q3 Arena on Dreamcast is inferior to its PC counterpart in the realm of controls. But Goldeneye, Timesplitters and Halo are different stories; their controls are executed well.
-
Sure the controls are more precise with a PC, but it\'s a solitary experience on the PC. 4 guys sitting around a PC screen = no fun. Dragging PC around for LAN parties = too much of a hassle.
Play the game and you really won\'t wish you had a mouse--really. I\'ve been playing PC shooters for years (since quake team fortress). Halo seems like a different genre of game. Like DM said, play the game with a good set up and say it doesn\'t deserve the credit.
-
It makes me laugh how much of a problem MM has with Halo,:D i would love to see what he would be like if it was on the PS2 ,my be that is what has got your Goat that it is on the Xbox and not PS2, ifthat is the case get over it dude, if it doesn\'t come out for the PC don\'t stop your self from giving this game a chance.
And why the hell do you keep going on about Keyboards and mouse, if you sit down with the game and play for a while, you completely forget that you are playing withy a controller. I was worried about the controller as well, but i gave the game a chance and the controlles are great.
And some of you will probably call me a fanboy for what i just said, but the fact of the matter is i gave the game a chance, and i am telling it like it is, and now i am enjoying one of my fav games of the year.:D

apparantly, ethan cannot comprehend
*disclaimer*
yes, halo is groundbreaking in term of console FPS graphics, and i do like the game, but its no MOH, and gamepads + FPS\'s = suck
if it WAS on on my PS2, i would simply plug my USB keyboard/mouse in, and promptly STFU
which is exactly what you should do
speaking of finding stuff funny, youve been here HOW long, and know almost nothing about me?
:rolleyes:
*WOOT! i hit 3000 posts and didnt even know it!
-
apparantly, mm cannot think of anything else to say!!:D
What are you going on about MM, i do know something about you, if a game isn\'t on the ps2 you don\'t like it, and that is really sad.
And you wouldn\'t simply plug in your keyboard and mouse because it would have to support it first, i mean Quake 3( i think it was or unreal) didn\'t support keyboard and mouse on the PS2.
You always make some stupid comment about Halo, what is your problem with it, straight up is it because it is on the Xbox?
Also have you tryed the game out yet, i mean sat down and played for like 1 hour or something like that, just to see if there is anyway that you can get on with the controls?
Because to me you really are missing out on a great game, that is out now, not in like 6 months or more on the PC.
I am not going to get into a row with you MM, because i really cann\'t be bothered, i have got better things to do with my time, like play HALOnow!!
And that is the best you can come back with telling me to shut the **** up, wow arn\'t you the big man, that really is pathetic.
p.s merry christmas dude!:D

sigh, havent we been thru all this before that i prefer my DC to my PS2 anyways? and that im getting an xbox so i can play shenmue 2?
for the third time...
*disclaimer*
yes, halo is groundbreaking in term of console FPS graphics, and i do like the game, but its no MOH, and gamepads + FPS\'s = suck
this implies i\'ve played it, no? i like my FPS with a mouse/keyboard. its more natural. do people prefer playing racing games with a wheel or a gamepad?
heres a thought...
"would mm say the same thing about halo if it was released on PS2?"
:o
oh, and have a great holiday bro!
i like yer sig, BUT the size is more than 5 lines. it must be reduced, thanks
-
I\'m quite sure mm would be just as cynical about Halo if it were on the PS2. :D (w/o k/b + mouse support)
I do think the k/b + mouse combo is the best. I can only imagine what I\'d be doing to them aliens if I had that option. :) The pad does work better than I thought it would though.
-
Yeah that is cool MM as long as you have given the game ago that is all good, i just didn\'t want you to miss out on a great game.
By the way i am glad you like my sig, is there anything else you would like for christmas:D
How about a special DC shenmue sytle, i will make it for ya!
-
ehhe, thanks to ash i put my bid in for the EUR version of shemue 2
/me counts days till international package arrives
-
Its one thing for you, mm, to get called a sony fanboy by Docwiz, but what is up with people like Ethan saying it, does nobody ever read your post, you\'ve even said before that your a sega fanboy, once again I must say its quite sad that they can\'t read
-
well, i actually think im a little too old to be a "fanboy".
but anyways, you got a point there
-
*giggles to himself*
great fun watching people acuse people who stick by their beliefs (which are backed up with reasons and facts) a fanboy...ahh well
*plays with himself until it hurts*
-
No i did not call mm a fanboy any where in my post, just because you like one console does not make you a fanboy!
We were just having a friendly row, we have a row every now and then, but it is all good, we still get on (I hope:D)
I just didn\'t want mm to miss out on a great game, just because of a keyboard and mouse, but he has played it and tryed it out, and that is all you can ask people to do, and if after they have played it, they still don\'t like it(the controls that is), then that is that.
But don\'t go around say that i called people something when i did not! OK
:mad:

Halo isn\'t all that - No I am not bashing the Xbox in this post. For a console it is certainly impressive and better than any FPS for the PS2. I have a PS2, 3 computers and a DC currently and frankly I can\'t get into any FPS on a console. I have played Halo a few times and the whole controller issue soured it for me. After reading post after post praising Halo I had to offer my opinion. My intial thoughts on the Halo hype were attributed to my belief that most of those who were claiming it to be the end all be all of games hadn\'t experienced FPS\'s on a computer. This is probably not true, but seeing as no other FPS has ever generated as much interest on a console as this has I had my doubts.
Currently I have been playing RTCW on the comp and have had a blast with it, if and when it does come a console I wouldn\'t touch it for the fact that I too fall into the mouse keyboard group. However I do like the fact that consoles are getting good FPS\'s, but there is a long way to go in terms of playability (ie controller). Though the thought of having a built in HD on a console is VERY appealing along with the ease of starting the game up would eventually outway the gripes I have with consoles and FPS\'s. There are other games I can\'t get into on consoles such as RPG\'s. Then again there are games such as fighting and sports games that I would never dream to play on the computer. Having started out with an Atari 2600 in the late 70\'s and a Commodore 64 in mid 80\'s I have been into gaming for a while and that may taint my view :)
I wish I still had my TG-16 with CD!! :(

good thing i do
Book of Y\'s = greastest RPG of 16 bit era
:)

It\'s cool, some people prefer mouse/KB support on FPS\'s some don\'t. ME, I really don\'t care I have fun with both, I play all the Rainbow Six games(name one I got it) on PC. I could never dream of playing any of these with a controller. However, I\'ve played many FPS\'s on many consoles and I have no problem adjusting. It\'s easy because the game is designed for controller play. Just as PC games are designed for KB/mouse play.
It really just boils down to prefrence, and you can\'t knock someone just because they prefer KB/mouse and you don\'t. Halo is an excellent game, and yes it would suit some players to have the KB/mouse option, but also many people are happy with it the way it is. So again, it just really boils down to taste and prefrence.
I say whoopdie doo!! Play what makes you happy, and don\'t play what makes you unhappy. It\'s really just that easy.

Like a good pc game player I say that 1st person shooters and consoles dont go together. I dare you, play q3 with your DC controller against PC gamers. Guess who wins?

For the most part, I agree with the "idea" of your opinion, but the amazing success of Halo ,among other notable fps, proves that with some effort and finances, a fairly good fps with a good control scheme can be made with an appeal to a broad audience. I understand your "PC fps purist" attitude, and Halo on the PC might end up being better, but you must give Bungie credit for doing an impressive job with Halo on Xbox, demonstrating that fps and consoles can "go together".

wasnt this already proven with MOH, and Goldeneye?
