Looking pretty good. I like the in-car views.
The new melee mechanics are stupid. If I'm going after one player and taking fire from another, how is it fair if I'm unable to kill the one player I'm about to melee simply because my shield is damaged more than his? That's retarded. It should come down to whoever is quickest with the melee IF their shield is damaged enough for it to kill them, like it was in Halo 1 and 2.
Wait till the end of the LONG credits.
I agree with most of the issues listed, ESPECIALLY #4 (please change it back to Halo 1's style), but I had to laugh at #7:
"The Energy Sword also uses a new combat system, if two players strike at the same time, the weapons will clash doing a minimal amount of damag e to each player. This takes out the skill of this weapon, before the fastest strike kills, now you have time to “block” you don’t need to even lunge."
Since when did the sword take skill? I...
No hate, just numbers.

I'm sure some of you fanboys will cry fowl and will disagree to all your heart's content, but this isn't meant to be a stab at Sony or Sony fans. I'm just personally tired of people crying over pointless articles, as if they called your mom a dirty name, and then flinging poo at another party to make yourself feel bett...
@PS360ROCKS: I'm referring to players that do this in ranked games, and that's ALL they will do. Yes, driving is a lot of fun in Halo, but that Ghost has no place in some of Halo 3's maps and game types.
@jackdoe: Yes, mute is nice, but I said "post game". Why mute when I can just back out? :D And I've been dealing with these kinds of players since Halo 2. I'm still not used to it. But I deal with it.
@FirstknighT: I don't know if it's just the Halo co...
Wow, another lame thing to bicker about. The real comparison will be the gameplay. Graphics don't mean jack sh*t.
Some of the maps just have terrible designs, none of which hold a candle to the likes of Sidewinder, Blood Gulch, Battle Creek, Hang 'Em High, etc. Snowbound always comes down to that center room in a fight for the shotgun; Isolation boils down to the sniper or shotgun spawn; Construct is a camper's haven with 3 camping rooms to choose from. Back in my Halo 1 days, my friends and I would play with no shields and no motion sensors. Halo 2 forced me to get used to shields, which was fine, but H...
After THPS2, I lost interest in the series. Skate is badass. Finally, a skating game that actually requires skill. My buddy made Chuck Norris as his skater. Too bad the naming doesn't allow for a more lengthly entry. Walker Texas Skater would've been sweet.
Somebody has Small D*ck Syndrome.
Well damn, looks like we were all right. It appears the countdown wasn't for a specific game, but a slew of announcements. SF4, yeah!
Bah, I was wrong. Bionic Commando it is. A SF fan could only hope, I guess. Looks like Capcom jumped the gun and announced it a day early.
Street Fighter 4 is definitely coming. It's been what, nearly a decade since SF3? Perhaps the globe in the background is a clue, a la World Warriors.
Someone said their money is on Bionic Commando. Well, Bionic Commando was a great game back in the '80s, but I don't really see Capcom making a huge deal over a sequel.
I guess we'll see soon enough. My money's on SF4.
Well said. I get a kick out of the garbage fanboys post; Next year this, next year that, the lists of games that are automatically deemed "game of the year", "the best ever" or "<insert game>-killer". This site has become nothing but a medium for fanboys to sling poo at each other. Most of the articles submitted are jabs at another party or to make one's favored party look better than another. It's sad. And to think, these kiddies are the future. God help u...
Perhaps the best FPS on a PlayStation since Red Faction, sure. But to say it's above the likes of Doom, Quake, Duke Nukem 3D, Half-Life, GoldenEye 007, Perfect Dark, Unreal Tournament, Halo, all of which had cult followings, is a pretty bold statement. I feel sorry for the "gamers" that limit themselves and/or devote themselves to a single console.
Actually, you're not right. You're still speculating. I'm a huge racing fan and I love both Forza and the GT series, but GT has become stale. Why people fight over which is better is stupid. If this latest iteration of GT has awesome physics and car damage, then I'm glad -- it's about time. But at this point, nobody can say for certain that it's going to blow all racing sims out of the water. It's amusing to see people complain about how much hype some games receive, yet you guys fuel that hy...
Maybe you should play the game first before jumping to conclusions, a la Lair.
EDIT: And to whoever disagreed, you're a moron. Only a fool makes claims about a game that's not even out yet, fanboy or not.
Do you really have to ask? They're fangirls. It's what they do.
The problem is all the kiddies want things handed to them these days. I'm not a casual Halo player. I mean, I can play for fun, but I'm always working to get better. I want to earn my keep. That means taking the good with the bad. I got paired with this douche bag in Team Doubles once, whom ended up quitting on me. After the match, which I lost, I messaged him about it in anger. His excuse was that he didn't want to lose rank. How selfish and stupid can a person be? Quitting hurts you more th...
Why do you people care so much about what someone else thinks of a game you happen to like? It's called an OPINION. Yes, others have them. Not just you. Deal with it. You people crack me up.
