This was very exciting and I am glad to see Halo evolve into a worthile game. The trailers were always awesome though. I still think 1-3 are mediocre shooters at best, but Reach is adding a bunch of new things which look very promising. Might even re-enable my LIVE account for it if it's great enough.

So, you think Halo: CE is a mediocre shooter?



I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.

NO NO, NO NO NO.

Considering I had been playing since arond 1990 starting with my NES and then adding a PC, Halo:CE was inded an extremely mediocre shooter for what was out at the time. It fell under UT, Quake,  HL, and even CS. It was definitely better than some shooter coughDiakatanacough, but definitely not anywhere close to the top of the ladder at the time.

So good......This just screams Halo movie.....now get to it Peter Jackson!

 

I'm not a fan of The Lord of the Rings flicks (I thought the first was good but the rest...meh) so Peter Jackson doesn't sound too appealing to me. I like what Blomkamp did with D9, gritty and somewhat of an old school 80's sci-fi feel, at least to me. I think if there is a movie that whomever does it, they can't be afraid to capture that gritty feel. I'm so afraid of some kind of over the top approach just to cash in on the brand.  I will say that I'm good with just about all of the Halo live action stuff that has come out and that 343 seems really dedicated to keeping it tight. I really do like the idea of a series too.

LOTR, King Kong, district 9. Like em, or not, you cannot deny this guy makes his movies BIG. That is why he would be perfect for the Halo movie.

I guess I'd have no problem with him as a producer, I'd just prefer a different director. I also don't consider D9 "big" compared to the others mentioned with it's measly 30 mil budget. One more thing, I don't think there is a direct correlation between something being big and something being good.

In multiplayer, maybe, but the campaign is still amongst the best in the genre. Of your list, only HL rivals it, and that one of the best games of all time.

The campaign in CE may not be halflife, but it certainly isn't mediocre. I had no interest in the game, and starting playing it on PC because my brother had a pirated copy, and I couldn't freakin' stop. It was very addictive, and nobody had ever put all of those recent gaming innovations together in such a way. The game bleeds quality, and I think it set the standard for most of our modern shooters. Most games before it, felt antiquated after it was released. That game is great. I've been playing since Atari, and I know when something stands out, and that game stood out. I give it a 9/10 and an award for most influential campaign in a shooter right up there with Goldeneye.

I bet Goldeneye was mediocre too, huh?

I'm not talking about price. I'm talking about the feel of the film, the LOTR trilogy and King Kong were especially "big" in this aspect.

Agreed, they were big feeling.
