Stopped reading at "It's a missed opportunity to go all out - to press the reset button not just on the rendering tech, but on the core gameplay". I'm done with DF.


well they dont lie for the fanboys, halos gamelay is meh at best. to slow, to simple mapdesign, a meh story with meh characters. nothing special... change we need...

IMHO Halo map design is consistently amongst the best fps maps... Even 343 maps.

This is a really early mp-beta. Almost one year from release. In games, that's a life for optimizations.
So while that beta might give a good outlook for the final mp gameplay and as well give 343 important feedback so the mp wont be as hated as Halo 4's mp it says absolutely nothing about final resolution, fx and all that.
The important thing right now is the gameplay, which looks just right.
Eight years ago i had some early Halo 3 footage on a magazine dvd, actually looked pretty shitty, much worse than the final game ten month later.

transformers and cod arent good action movie/games, transformers isnt able to tell a story at all, its just destruction porn on the lowest level. and the cod story is just a joke, and the games are realy lazy, little number of maps, changes to the gameplay just to make more money, the freaking same animation over and over again in multiple games... loving action films is fine( i mean who doesnt like the first robocop or die hard?), but that doesnt make bad movie good.


I'm curious. You're very vocal about which FPS and movies you don't like, and why you don't like them but I haven't heard which FPS games you think are great and which movies have amazing plot lines.

Care to indulge us?

the story in bioshock is great, if you like slow realistic gameplay, arma is the right game for you, if you like fast mp you can freely choose between quake, ut and tribes, if you like good mapdesign and higly competive mp, play cs:s or :go, a fan of massive mp matches? planetside is your game. 

halo makes nothing the best, and trys nothing new or different...

 

and i like the new marvel movies, well most of em, they can tell a story, have partly eyemelting cgi and good action. not clever but a blast to watch.

and i like 80s trash action movies(with or without the president of Calliforrrnia)

i think Halo 5 will flop, MS needs new IPs.


Thats what they say about every halo game ever. It will succeed. And let's ignore sunset overdrive and quantum break which are 2 interesting new ip's coming soon or have already arrived. 


well this time its different, this time its not made by bungie and the install base is much smaller on the X1. I think it will sell 2 million units and get mediocore reviews

do you still think that?

Looks like I found the original "2 million lifetime" quote, LOL.
