And speaking of Halo 2... I'm really waiting to see this game in action on my TV. The technology used for the graphic engine is undoubtedly not so common - less polygons than the ones used in Halo, but thanks to the per-pixel shading technique, the characters' look truly close to the ones in CG movies.

you know the power in the new ATi RADEON 9700's is equal to those of the computers used to create the first Toy Story? guess software takes some time to catch up with hardware eh? or is it just graphic cards that evolve that fast?...

And Harry, nice speech but I have all those games...ALL of them...and frankly, Halo is da bomb, I mean...allright fine, to each his own but what about multiplayer gaming? at least you can admit HALO's the best at that?


Booyakasha, I'm out.

Multiplayer gaming? - if you like straightforward FPS, I can maybe agree on that. If you are speaking of just the Cooperative mode, I can say that no other action game did that so smoothly.

And "Halo is Da Bomb" is not exactly objective, you know. The game works, is well-packaged, well-developed, but yet, it doesn't have the depth that I'm sure many players want to find in videogames. I said everything in my previous post, anyhow.

First off Harry if you think the gameplay is linear you must not be a fan of FPS games.I'm more so trying to compare it to other FPS game not so much GTA MGS and Morrowind which you brought up.I played the best games, and yes there are some better than halo in some catagories,but as far as FPS games go some games don't compare.Some may say Deus Ex but please it has a lot of nice little RPG touches but it doesn't deliver the nice little FPS elements that I like,vehicles for one.Graphically it still is one of the best games i played.Go up and run around the levels for awhile and you'll notice the detail im rambling about.Plus the game was done great with the time that bungie had with it.Plus FPS games arent too built on story and if they are who really cares,your playing to blast shit,take TS2 now-great game- it doesnt focus to much on story yet it is critically acclaimed and labeled to be one of the best.Halo is for the people who want action and it delivers better than pretty much any game out.

Halo was a great game. ...but it was not the best FPS I'd played, especially now that Unreal Tournament 2003 is on the table.. (..it's not even the graphical king any more!). I don't laugh when I hear about that "Game of the Year" thing. I actually get pissed. Halo was GREAT, but it wasn't the best that the year had to offer. >_>

In less than a month I'd put Halo back on the game shelf.. that's not what a GOTY game should be doing.

If they'd taken advantage of what they could ACTUALLY do with the Xbox and make more missions like that one where it shows the coastal flyby of the dropships first.. I forgot the mission name.. but it's got a whole bunch of marines going along with you. If they'd made more missions more like that, and gone with a little more origionality in the plot, then it would have been a MUCH better game than it was.


And, to add a final touch of randomness to this post.. ladies and gentlemen... the list...

1) Unreal Tournament 2003
2) Jedi Knight 2: Jedi Outcast
3a) Halo
3b) Red Faction 2


Complete afterthought! Here's a quote from a PS2 Fanboy on the Neoseeker forums:

I love FPS, I designed dozens and dozens of great customs levels for DOOM I and II, including a Batman patch that still makes me laugh when I think about it. And I don't need to be said why the graphics of the game are great.

The problem here is not best "FPS" of the year, it's "best game of the year" - it's a tad different. And while for you this might be the best genre around, the gaming industry has now more parameters, more things to take into consideration than when Wolfenstein 3D and DOOM I were released. Story development, complex game structures, artistic research - these are all things that are part of nowadays games, and Halo is not more brilliant than many other games in any of these points. It's good that you like classic FPS, straightforward all-action gaming fun over any other game type, but considering Halo "Game Of The Year" is , on my opinion, an enormous brainwashing advertising campaign.

Thankfully, there are also other sources in the industry, like the Game Developers, and for them, the game of the year - for game structure, realization, originality, and also artistic value - was Grand Theft Auto 3. I probably not agree completely, but that's a perfect and more than sensed choice, because if a game like Grand Theft Auto 3 teaches the future developers a sort of new way to structure and develop video games, Halo didn't add anything really new to the FPS genre.

And if you played Deus Ex maximizing Denton's brute force, you could have played it like any other FPS. It was up to you, you could create the game you wanted to play - and that's what I call freedom given to the fantasy of the player. And that's what I, and I'm sure, many of the readers of this website, like.

I higly agree with Harry when he says he laughs to hear "Game of the year: HALO"

I finished this game about 4 days ago... and indeed, yes, I really enjoyed it, and still do so, I'm beating it now on heroic. But no way this game should be called "Game of the year" AS for what I've heard about HALO, I thought it was going to be better. AS for what I was saying abuot Goldeneye, in which you had to do a lot of stuff more than just firing guns.

Although I freaking enjoyed the vehicles, specially the Banshees. And the squad thing andall that, I really liked it.

but to come and think about it, this is not "the best game I have ever played" I still think that Metal Gear Solid and MGS 2 are much better elaborated games than this one. Now that I own both games and have played both, I'd say that MGS2 should have got that title (I'm voicing my opinion for that old discussion )

But definitely, I know I will buy HALO 2, sicne a better HALO game most be awsome.
