Amen to that... I had to phone Microsoft troubleshooting office to get my copy activation key unlocked (I've activated it on my PC 3 times... each time configuration was different ... replaced GFX card, HDD or garbage like that) not to mention lag factor and wonky controlls :facepalm: but all in all it was a fun game and cool plot :)

Half Life > Halo
Quality > Quantity!

(In my opinion)

Reach is the best Halo game ever made. Well, of the five made in total..

Anyways, my friend and I got there at 10:55 and there was literally only 75 people there. In the next hour about 75 more showed up. When it hit midnight we were in and out of GameStop within 10 minutes. I was very surprised.

Hasn't there been a third part of a second sequel missing for nearly 4 years now?  :D

I'm sorry but when "Half-Life 2" and "quantity" made it into the same sentence, I had to lol.

Anyway, we should probably stop this thread. I don't think JimmyB would like us turning this thread into an argument over which game has what.

Because people keep making "Gabe is fat" jokes. Also, I don't think that was the point he was trying to get across (That HL has quantity)..

Half Life is forever! None can stop the mighty Gordon Freeman and his handy Crowbar!
I am still wanting them to try and make a Half Life movie!!

There's a small movie being made of HL already, the trailer looked pretty decent, and I'm not really a fan of HL. The question is: How do you make a movie abuot a character who doesn't speak?

As for GoW and CoD, what do they have to do with Halo Reach? Neither of those games are anything alike.

Edward Norton could play Gordon Freeman. Or Hugh Laurie, or Garry Oldman. They resemble Gordon freeman in my opinion. But that fan movie you are referring to is Escape From City 17. I have seen bits and pieces of it on Youtube. But it doesn't center around Gordon Freeman, it centers around the resistance trying to... well.... escape from City 17 lol.

Easily the three biggest shooter franchises...

Was referring to another one, different guys. City 17 looked shoddy at best.

It's not about who they can cast for Freeman, it's about him not having lines. The movie would be incredibly boring and if they added in lines for him the hardcore fans would denounce it.

Have you played Halo: Reach? They incorporated elements from all three franchises. You could almost say that Reach bridged the gap.

Why would I? The Halo story doesn't appeal to me in the slightest, the only thing that does (even remotely) of it are the ships.

But what you're saying is, Halo tries to be a teambased, somewhat skillbased, run-and-gun shooter in third and first person at the same time, with a knife button, context-sensitive cover, customizable weapons, curb-stomping, with a levelling system (And prestige mode), unlockable weapons, set in several real-world derived areas with aliens that live under the surface, on a ring that is purely fictional, with a super-trooper protagonist and his digital sidekick, fighting aliens from another galaxy using killstreak-awarded powerups like radar and artillery?

Lots of games use similar mechanics, that doesn't mean they're bridges between games...  :idk:

Well alright, if you want to get technical, it's *nothing* like Gears; technically speaking. However the mechanics are alike.

I've heard from people moving over from CoD that Halo is actually quite a bit more challenging in MP.

That's not saying much. CoD in its current form has very little in way of skill, it's all abuot whether you're hosting the match or not. As for Halo, well... I suppose there's some skill in using a control instead of using a mouse (Provided there is absolutely no auto-aim, which if I recall no console shooter turns it off entirely for playability reasons)
