What is this tomfoolery?! Sonic is good but there is nothing wrong with Halo, it's got solid multiplayer.

[Umbrage]

Halo is overrated.

It's not bad, but it's overrated.

[ReaperCharlie]

Yeah it is. But that doesn't mean the multiplayer wasn't/isn't groundbreaking.

[cjdrum]

Stop posting here, I keep getting all excited that there's going to be another chain released...

[cjdrum]

Posting here is fine, if you must, though. Above was a joke.

[ReaperCharlie]

Hi cjdrum. *waves*

[cjdrum]

Hi RC!

How's getting the chains up going?

[ReaperCharlie]

It'll be better when I get home from work.

[Drench]

Yeah it is. But that doesn't mean the multiplayer wasn't/isn't groundbreaking.

well it kinda wasn't, goldeneye 64 took care of that

[ReaperCharlie]

Goldeneye and Halo were like... 6 years apart. That's like a century, considering we're talking about computers and video games in the 90's.

Have you seen the difference between Half-Life and Half-Life 2? I rest my case.

[halo's] multiplayer [was/is] groundbreaking.

and i'm done

[ReaperCharlie]

You'll excuse me if I don't catch your drift.

[Drench]

that does seem to happen a lot with you

What he is saying RC, is that Goldeneye did multiplayer like Halo's firt,and all Halo added was prettier graphics and online play. I remember there was a point in time when Goldeneye never left my friend's 64, and we were up until like 4 in the morning playing it.

I started playing video games at a very young age BTW.

Nah Halo did a bunch of new things.

The whole concept of only being able to carry 2 guns? Halo.
One-click grenade throwing? Halo
Non-inverted joysticks? Halo
Super-awesome graphics? Duh
Enthralling story? Halo 1, not so much 2 and 3
And if we're talking about other technical achievements, let's talk Forge for a second. Halo 3's Forge was a

mind-boggling

technical achievement. And Halo Reach's version of the Forge has only increased the amazingness. Name another game that has that level of versatility. I bet you can't.

So tell me again, what did Goldeneye have that was so awesome? Yeah, it was fun and all, but to say that it did everything Halo did first is at best mistaken, and at worst ignorant.

Dwarf Fortress!

I liked that story. Not as amusing as Boatmurdered, but more reasonably-lengthed. :p

Now Im not saying Halo isnt fun, but its overrated. I mean anyone can come up with the concept of carrying 2 guns and a lot of games have come up with gun limiting beforehand, besides not really groundbreaking same with grenade throwing and actually Im fairly sure I could do non inverted stuff with Perfect Dark and well enthralling storylines is a matter of opinion and while we are at it, the graphics whilst pretty aren't very varied. It's a good game, I enjoy playing the multiplayer with my flatmates but in terms of ground breaking well, I look at it this way, you can tweak literally a few things and get gears of war tweak a few more and you have another game. There isn't enough variance these days, a truly ground breaking game would be to find something completely new and not build on something already there.

[Robocopter87]

Well, I'm sorry I spoke up about the Unicorns.

If you're looking for variance, stop playing FPS games.

[Porochaz]

I dont. But it doesnt excuse the fact that video games are notoriously unoriginal these days.
