good thing i spent my XBOX money on a geforce 3 card instead

*oh and box is ONLY console to offer online play?  thru a patch?  

lol, im already playing ONLINE with my PS2

Hmmm $300.00 for an Xbox.  For your geforce card alone it\'s going to cost you about 350!

Every game that doesn\'t have multiplayer is inferior...Metal Gear Ray just wants everyone to know that!

nope, a geforce 3 costs 239$ USD
dont believe me, click here

perhaps if you bought it at Sears, you would pay 350$

OR, but the $175 Ti 200 model and overclock it to Ti 500 speeds

You are willing to drop down to that level and twist other peoples words up?  That is low ProfessorX.  I expected more from you.

Oh I didn\'t mean it all I was just being sarcastic in terms of a game being inferior just because it lacks on line play.  There is no way he could possibly know that.  Thats all.

For anyone who has played online FPSs, they know that online beats offline any day.  Why do you think Quake III Arena and Unreal Tournament were made?  Because Online is 10x as fun as off line.  Even Half Life -- the FPS that is known for its great single player game and story, is played more online than offline.

Online = more fun = better game.

First off I have played online FPS since the beginning and they are fun but if you have an engrossing offline experience it is just as good if not better than an online game.   I\'ve had to deal with campers, cheaters, and such and that is no fun.  Online is fun yes but it doesn\'t make the game.  

Does Red Faction, Half Life, Timesplitters, and all other FPS that come out for PS2 suck because they lack online play? Please. You guys still have a number of FPS coming down the pipe for the PS2 WITHOUT online play be prepared to defend them! Besides you guys are reaching to downplay this game and it shows.

ethan, i dont care HOW great Halo looks or plays

if it does not

*possess mouse support
*run above 30 FPS AT ALL TIMES
*have netplay

then halo = suck

the xbox is COMING OUT OVER A YEAR AFTER THE PS2
wheres the netplay, microsoft chumps?

what do we get for 299$ + tax?

slight better graphics?  i\'d but a gamecube if that was the only case

and just what is sony doing now, a year after the ps2 launched, i mean they haven\'t got to worry about console launch, so they have had 1 year to get the online play up and running, but i don\'t see much!

"then halo = suck"

You are a fool, you cant even say when a game looks great.
And slightly better graphics, sorry but the graphics on this game, are what sony was promising to all of us, and they have not delivered, at all!
Have you watched the commerical for this game! if not go watch it before you say something stupid, about slightly better graphics and halo sucks!!!!:

"run above 30 FPS AT ALL TIMES"
 
Some one doesn\'t know anything about this game, go and read some impression on the framerate, and every impression says how impressive the framerate is, and how smooth it is, and that you wouldn\'t think it was running at 30fps!

I don\'t want to get into a ROW with you, but i don\'t understand why you are attacking a game that is ment to be great !
I thought you loved games, and it didn\'t matter what platform they are on, looks like i was wrong BIG TIME!
Anyway it is your choice if you play the game or not, all i know is i am not going to pass up on the opertunity to play this game!

First of all, don\'t generalize me into a group who thinks Halo sucks, because I don\'t think that at all.  I was just showing how it would be a lot better if it had online play.  Sure, single player is fun for a little while, but without playing against lots of other poeple, the game gets old.  Yes, Red Faction and Quake III got old quickly because I was used to playing FPS games online.  Timesplitters would have been a lot better if it was online too, but it was still a great multiplayer game just like Halo can still be a great multiplayer game.  Until console FPSs go online, they will never be comparable to the computer versions of the same name.

I think a big reason why people bash Halo is because of what Microsoft hyped it up to be.  The Xbox is a console that is designed for online play, yet they won\'t have online play until next spring at the earliest (I\'m a little skeptical about that date...).  Halo not being online, and not having a chance to go online (I remember the developers saying there were no plans to have a patch or anything to make it online compatible) is a blow to all the people looking forward to what this game was going to be.

How do you know they won\'t make a DVD like Twisted metal black and GT3 is ment to do, so that it enables Network play?
If they can do it with these games, why not Xbox games?
For me it is good because i don\'t really care about online play, Quake 3 was fun online for the DC, but it didn\'t make me only want to play online, but then agian i can see where you guys are coming from that like to play online, and i guess it is a shame that it does have online play, but just play it for what it is ment to be a great game:D

Like I said, the developers said they don\'t have any intentions of making it online in the future.  Maybe this will change, but as of right now, there are no plans for online Halo.

And I agree, play it for what it is -- a great console FPS.  It doesn\'t live up to the hype, but it is great none the less.

Speaking of the developers, I also recall them saying the game(HALO, of course) wont look or sound as good on the PC.

You\'ll most likely have more fun with the PC version, because of the online capabilities. Xbox version wont be getting any "patch" or update, Matt Soel already confirmed this.

... Might as well get in on it. I was disappointed that the online plans for HALO were scrapped as well. But after hearing the impressions from people who\'ve played the game a little more than me, I dont really care about it anymore. The game\'s story mode is great, and co-op sounds even better(It wasn\'t in when I played). It took Chris Butcher around 60 hours to beat HALO on its highest difficulty, that should say something. In my opinion, the involving single player and co-op, and 26 multiplayer modes more than make up for what we lost. I wouldn\'t dismiss this game and downplay it like some of you have been doing on this thread so soon.

I just had an intresting experience, I went to target to play the GameCube for the second time, while playing Rogue Leader. Anyways, apparently there were the Xbox, GC and PS2 demo all within a 2 yard space. Anyways. There were like 4 people who all came to play the the Xbox and Halo. I was the only one who came to play the GC, but after I got my hands on the GC controller, I hit the reset and went to Rogue Leader, instantly all of the people playing the PS2 or Halo stopped playing just to watch Rogue Leader, quotes were "That is just unreal" "How do they do it" and "screw the XBox, I\'m buyin this."

Anyways, I don\'t think the Xbox has a great future.....

Console FPS games suck ass
I\'ll wait for Halo to come to the PC with mouse/keyboard and online support...
Bah to console FPS games!

They ****ed up Halo when they went from 3rd person to 1st person, I\'m not remotely interested in it anymore for X-Box... Should\'ve sticked to 3rd person on the X-Box.
