Troll?
He asked what made the game special.
Judging by the 7 this game got for it's campaign (saying that it is basically a bunch of areas where things spawn. . .you kill them. . .and move on to the next area to repeat the process), the game is all about it's multiplayer.
I'm just pointing out how ridiculously backward and 1990's it's multiplayer actually is. Guns that are always accurate, walking, moving, tip toeing, jump...
They don't. . .it's pathetic.
Jumping and shooting has pretty much the same accuracy from the reticule as walking and shooting, slowly walking and shooting, walking briskley and shooting. . .always the same circle. You can finally sprint in this game . . .I'm surprised they didn't make it so you could shoot during that too!
Always makes me laugh. Terrible, Terrible, Terrible.
Yes.
Health that takes a clip and then some to kill someone.
Reticules that never change even when running - always pinpoint accurate.
People jumping about like kangaroos.
People running around with one hit kill hammers.
Oh please.
The media can't give Halo games less then super-hype so it was never going to get less than 9 to be fair.
I could have predicted this.
I miss these kind of hyperbole media halo comments every time one comes out. Every single halo. Halo RTS - "OMG loveliest RTS story ever". He'll, even Halo ODST got OMG LOVELY STORY AND BESTEST LEVELS EVER!!!
The overreaction by Halo fanboys in some media outlets makes me cry with laughter.
It's a game. Not a particularly great looking one - but it's clearly good but it's this kind of hyperbole that makes me hate the franchise so mu...
Will you be able to pick a car to take around the Top Gear test track and then post your time for that specific car on a global leader board?
That would be amazing. . .I'd do it for every car lol. . .could lead to a lot of gameplay. Be good if they used the magnetic style of the real top gear leader board just to make it more realistic. :D
Killzone 2 and Killzone 3 constantly get compared to Crysis and Crysis 2 on high end PC's. . .whereas other games from "other platforms" practically get compared to their respectable handheld port versions :p
Everyone knows how awful and unbalanced MW2 was and a lot of people won't buy thinking it's the same mess. A beta would allow people to alert problems and give a better final product restoring peoples confidence in the franchise.
Same price in 2002 when they were getting money off 1 million people.
Here we are in 2010. . .7+ million subscribers. . .and they STILL need more money?
They are only rising the price because people are FORCED to pay the new price if they want to continue playing games online that they've already paid for with their friends.
Always have. Always will.
I didn't know it was connected.
The posters above let me know and I thanked them for explaining. What are you going on about? Lol you're like 20 minutes too late! :D
My "mag has the HUD too" was a joke about how it's aiming animation is crap and I was jokingly justifying the reason by pretending they had the same HUD as halo. I'm sorry you tool it seriously.
The person who wrote it wants to play KZ2. Halo reach looks like Halo 1 in comparison.
And KZ was released 2 years ago and still looks 10 times better than reach :O
Hardly...."setting the bar in graphics" lmao
Thanks for the mature replies. That explains it. I didn't know their guns were linked to the HUD :)
MAG's characters also had HUD connections to the weapons. LOL.
Edit: Lmao i got a disagree for making a joke about mags crappy aim animation! Get a life people :(
Is it possible for MS to hype Halo any more than it already does? Lol. I don't think so. A Halo game with a one hour long campaign and multiplayer with 4 player death match and a selection of one gun would STILL get more hype from American press than any other game ten times as worthy!
@BELOW I know it's all hype! They're orgasming other trivial things. It's unbelievable!!
In this article there is a video of online gameplay. When the guy zooms in on his scope there's no smooth animation. There's no nice animation of raising the gun and looking through the lens. When he goes back to hip fire there's no animation either it just snaps back to the view.
MAG took ALOT of flak for this in it's reviews - I fully expect the media to bitch about it in the Halo reviews too!
Bet they don't even mention it ;)
They won 6-0 and even then they were boring and dull. When United win 6-0 you have lovely passing moves, wingplay. . .god it's glorious to watch.
Chelsea on the other hand - eugh.
I know exactly what a Beta is. Suddenly now the Beta's over they happen to have everything working amazingly flawlessly EXTREMELY quickly - yet they couldn't release a single stable update while the beta was running for over a month?! :D
Pull the other one, Dice.
The beta was woeful and now it's ended suddenly everything is fixed. They're only saying that so as everyone who saw how poor the graphics were, how crap and unbalanced the guns were will buy it.
Here's the news - we won't. It was crap in the beta and everything isn't suddenly overhauled and made better. I cancelled my pre-order. I'll wait for Kz3. Great maps. Gunplay. Guns. Great graphics that are at least 10 times as nice as the jag fest of moh. MoH...
That was one of the worst articles I've ever made :D
:O:O:O
