Got an Xbox with Halo:

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.  


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!  

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?
