Of couse it does everything 10 years after all these games. But, what makes it ABOVE average is the fact is that it does so MUCH more. Yes, it does whatever those games did, but it added a whole lot that really can't be denied. Refer to the list I brought earlier of all the things that Halo did and does, that NO OTHER game had done or even did to this date, regardless of PLATFORM. It does everything those games did AND more, much more. It even refined at what those games did, I guess. This is exactly why it isn't average! Combine that whole list you threw at me, COMBINE it all, and Halo does more than all those. It really does. Halo brought FPS to a whole other level, |
Are we talking Halo or halo 3? If we are talking map editors hello 7 years ago. If you talking graphics of that level hello 8 years ago. If you want your console graphics and FPS gameplay thrown down the toilet see Crysis Warhead.
And for your little list:
4 player co-op was done by Resistance before Halo 3. Owned much? co-op was never a major deal till it came to consoles. PC gamers tend to like going solo. Its like showing your a man able to handle the tough times ahead. Co-op is for people who can't shooter straight. Still it has been done in Tom Clancy games before and many others.
Single player? my god does this make a game now? I guess Quake isnt there anymore.. oh wait.
Balanced maps, been there done that.
Custom games? how custom? modded custom, setting custom? UT handles both of these quite well since the first game.
Custom characters.... yawn.
Switching gametypes? are you kidding me. Why this listed?
matchmaking... Battlefield 2...many others... any FPS that had ranks.
Face the fact I can rip apart your entire list. The point is you cannot argue the fact all of this has been done.
