No_OnE

Welcome back. You joined long before I did but oh well. You seem pretty cool. On a side note, MPC, arguments are fun when they're intelligent. Not when its a bunch of petty insults flying back and forth.

I guess we'll all find out here on Saturday. Blizzards announcement is 3 days away. I'd also like to mention that the announcement is in Korea where they have a very large fanbase. I'm pretty sure Korea even airs Starcraft matches on T.V.

You bumped this to say that? Wow. Anyway, I may as well give my input on the game. I thought it sucked. It was a fun game for maybe an hour or two but killing zombies gets quite boring after awhile.

I won't really care. At all. Classic show and a great man, but I just don't care. On a side note, my friend is related to a Bob Barker who either hosts or did host a T.V. show based in Hawaii.

It's a great way to pass the time during Keyboarding when I have nothing to due because I'm 30+ lessons ahead of the class. Though the school has blocked the main site, they never blocked their mirror site.

What did I say to make you think that? I didn't say that I was better than you, I had no intention of even implying that. Also, I didn't mention anything about the gravity gun (although, imo, the super gravity gun is cooler than any weapon in any other fps) or HL:2, or Counter-Strike in this topic. I may have mentioned it somewhere else, but that was outside of this topic, and I didn't use that as an argument anywhere in this topic. If you want me to, I could, and I could explain how much better CS is than online multiplayer Halo2, but I won't unless you truly want to have an argument about that. I mean, one of the main reasons I was trying not to compare the two was that they're on two different systems, and can hardly be compared. And to the guy taht commented on how other sequels were successful because of their originals, well, you're just being ignorant and not seeing my meaning behind that. Of course more people will buy the sequels because they liked the first game, that's obvious. What I meant was that, if those games that you mentioned had been stand-alone games and not sequels, they would've done very well. May not be able to say that about Halo 2. And no_one, I played Halo 2. I got it, played it online for about a month. I got pretty good at it. It got boring. Yes, I went back to CS. I may not have had 1337 skillz in Halo 2, but the main reason I got bored of Halo 2 was because of having to play it with a controller. Keyboard and mouse ftw. I'll leave RPGs and adventures for consoles. Ahh, now I see the root of our disagreement. I prefer keyboard and mouse for RPGs and adventures other than LoZ but I prefer controller for shooters. I'd also like to apologize for being an idiot in the past. I've been in an easily agitated mood for the past few days because of a biology project in school. Though that's no excuse. I honestly can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not. Everything I said was serious. I really do hate console RPGs and I don't think shooters are as good on computers with the exception of a few. Also, the apology was sincere. I just gave the my final biology oral presentation yesterday and I'm a whole lot less stressed and less easily agitated. I was just being a jerk before.

Wow. Couldn't you have posted in the Betalicious thread or one of the other numerous Halo 2 threads?

Brood war was already kind of a SC2 in a sense? Although a new one with better graphics would be awesome. Brood War was just an expansion.

Yeah. The only game that I liked of theirs was Starcraft and the expansion, Brood War. I never did like Warcraft, Diablo, or World of Warcraft.

I heard on G4 that they would be releasing Starcraft 2 but that it will take on a WoW style of gameplay. So basically, my prediction is Starcraft 2, the mmo.

Happy Birthday, though it's not may 16th where I am yet. Still, hope you have a good one.

GoW isnt a fps try again:) but ya i prefer GoW over halo 2 anyday but not halo 3 atm since its a much better then h2 I guess I kind of made it sound like that but that's not exactly what I meant. I did say FPS but I was just tlaking about shooters in general.

While we're on the subject, I'd like to point out that no matter how much I argue for the Halo series, I don't think it's the best. There are far better FPSs out there, Halo is just a lot of fun to me. I happen to prefer Gears of War.

I could show school spirit and say my high school football team but they kind of suck. They get out of district and then blow it in region. Anyway, I don't care to much about sports. University of Texas for American college football. That's about it.

Some good shading would do this wonders. Though bad shading would kill it.

To be honest, this stock has been used many times in tags. Anyway, it's nice but I hate v1, v2, and v6. I also don't like any of the text. Still, pretty good lighting and contrast and stuff. God, its been so long that I've forgotten everything. I don't even know the terms anymore.

Though I have to say Runescape was insanely pointless when I actually used to play it, it wasn't the most pointless for me. It's up there though. I can't actually think of the most pointless. Probably some stupid flash game like Hold the Button or Don't Kill the Puppy.

I used to have a really short fuse and then I kind of had a thought that changed the way I react to situations. One day I got mad at something really stupid and then I stopped, calmed down, and wondered why I got mad at such stupid things when everyone goes through them but only a few actually allow themselves to get mad. Now, when I feel like getting mad, I think about that and give myself a few seconds to calm down.

I would go with 360. I have a 360 but I have friends who have a Wii or PS3 and I still say 360 is best. Then again, I'm a Microsoft fanboy so what can you expect?

Ok, so I'm going to break my word and go ahead and argue a little bit more. I read your second post on this thread and realized that it sounds like you hate Halo because you aren't very good. You can barely ever get headshots? Tell that to my friend who gets more headshots on Halo 2 than anyone I've ever seen. Even I can get headshots fairly often in the game and I've never been that great at video games. Being able to shoot with perfect accuracy in the air? Yes. It's possible. So what? I don't see why its popularity is blowing your mind. To be honest, I'm not even annoyed by your post anymore because from now on, no matter what you say to deny it, I'm going to assume that you hate Halo because you aren't good at it. That's what I inferred from your post and I'm going to casually ignore any retaliation you may make.

Hanging out with friends and family. Oh, and the wonderfully amazing biology project I'm doing right now. What could be more perfect than writing up a 7 minute presentation on a disease that I don't care about. /sarcasm.

I don't mind accents. I live in Texas but I don't have a southern accent. Most people in Texas don't have too much of a southern accent but when you go over to Alabama, it's everywhere. I'm not really sure what my accent would be.

I could, but it wouldn't give me the pleasure of seeing you guys annoyed at my posts. For now I'll stick with 'trolling', imo a rather harsh term. I provided facts as to why the game sucks, not opinions. At least, most of my post was facts. Maybe just a bit was opinion. If you haven't had more fun playing an FPS game than playing Halo, you should either give up on playing the genre at all, or get some new games to play, because you're really missing out. At least you admit to being such a lowlife that you actually post for the pleasure of annoyance. Surely that should be against the rules. Oh well. I won't argue with you anymore. I don't really like arguing with people who need to jump off of a bridge to come to the realization that they are not God and that just because they say something, doesn't make it fact. Anyway, I'm looking forward to beta also. Seeing as how I never took the time to preorder Crackdown, I'll be waiting for my friend to go to his dad's house next weekend to play it.

I would just like to ask why we can't have one topic about the Halo series without having all the posts that flame Halo because it doesn't suit their tastes. People like GordanFreeman need to get it through their heads that the views on a game is pure opinion. Some people like a game while others hate it. I do not see why there always has to be at least one idiot who needs to post something along the lines of, "Omfgz0rs, Hal0 is teh sukz0sr!!1!1". We get it. You hate the Halo series. Maybe we're acting as though it revolutionized the FPS genre because in our eyes, it did. Some of us haven't had more fun on a video game than playing a great game of Halo with some friends. Honestly, why don't you make a topic about how you hate Halo. Then we could have our topics and you all could have yours.
