But you're forced to use dual analog. Which is fine if you've never *seriously* played FPS games with a mouse. No matter how much Halo fans may cry and scream that dual analog can hold up to mouse/kb, it just can't. There is an OUTRAGEOUS amount of autoaim in Halo 2, which stands completely contrary to it's supposed competitive and balanced nature.

But still, I can't think of a better console FPS. (GoW, unfortunately is not an FPS, but its damn good.) It has its place - PC FPSes are not meant to be played on a couch, and never, ever should be. But you're only preaching to the choir if you're going to claim that Halo multiplayer is even in the same competitive league as the majority of decent PC FPSes.

Halo is like a teenager - a man amongst boys, but a boy amongst men. If you've spent hundreds of hours playing Halo, you might just be hardcore enough to consider putting down the fisher price gamepad and taking it to the next level. Sure, thats sounds as elitist as it gets...but you're welcome to join the big boys any time. 😛

"Join the big boys"

I've been playing PC FPSes since Wolfenstein and I've checked out most of the hyped AAA titles since then. I love them.

But I loved Goldeneye, Perfect Dark, Timesplitters, and Gears of War as well. (the Halo series isn't my thing)

Bottom Line: If you only play with one or the other for legitimate reasons (lack of funds, time, etc.), you still get to play plenty of great games. If you only play one or the other for elitist reasons (playing with a dual analog controller lowers your gamer status), you're probably just being an ass.

I don't know why "PC gamers" are in the console forum starting a flame war about Halo and console FPS in general, but it better end, now.

I was wondering why this thread kept hovering near the top of this forum, and now I see it's because it's turned into yet another pointless flame war that has nothing to do with the topic.

Yep, and there are plenty of outstanding console FPSes, including the ones you mentioned...Halo just isnt one of them in my book.

And the whole dual analog/mouse thing isnt a status thing, it's more like being forced to use crutches when you can walk just fine. Aside from a few exceptions like gears of war, it's always felt like I'm being held back by imprecision and slowness of dual analog. If they followed epic's trend of letting you use a mouse/kb on console games, I'd probably give up upgrading my PC entirely. But alas, that time has not come yet.

I still find it funny (and he probably hasn't even realized it yet) that he complains about not liking half life single player but love halo cause of the multiplayer. You know, the half life 1/2 and its iterations that are the most played multiplayer games out there.

Have you not realized yet that some people like different types of games? Personally I don't care for HL or CS too much, but that's a personal opinion. I can accept that fact that some people don't like Halo, but that doesn't mean we need to turn this thread into a never ending flame war. Just let it go.

What needs to be realized? I have several consoles because some different types of games get a limited release. I was just pointing out the fallacy of the pc/halflife sucks cause I can play halo on my xbox argument.



And back to the original point, and having played h1/:h2 on an xbox, that video still sucks.

Hey, I never said PC sucks, and I never said Half Life sucks. The particular game just doesn't appeal to me.

Also, I believe Half Life mods such as Counter Strike to be a separate game. I have played a lot of Counter Strike.

Your taste comes into the equation, but Halo's in the same league as shooters such as Half Life. It's not just an "average shooter." That's the point I wanted to make when I said I didn't like Half Life 2 much. If you enjoyed it that's great. I wish I could to.
