i would like to politely dissagree. i am a gamer and i can judge games overall no matter the platform. halo 2 is hands down the best fps i have ever played. hl2 has a shot at halo2 thats for sure. its the only game that does. im sure i will love it regardless.

Why is that? How come the plasma grenade launcher was on the pc version but not the xbox version. But it doesn't matter to me. Halo is NOT my favorite game.

I'm not really impressed by Halo2, it looks like an eirly CS with good partical effects running a a P3 with a G3 or 4. No optimization at all. It looks bad at distances and they changed almost everything about the game form the first one. It's not bad, maybe even the best consol fps (though I liked Red Faction more), but not the best fps ever. Not by a long shot if you include the PC games market.
BTW, disagreeing is not flaming!

Great game but finding games in Multi sucks. Only good thing I like the most is in my clans first night of clan battles we finished 11-3-3

*sigh* you posted IN this thread that was what he was talking about. If he was accusing you of starting flame threads, I'm sure he would have said so

I kinda agree I actually like the graphics from Halo 1 better than Halo 2. The dev's kinda took the cheap way out by using fewer polly's and more bumpmapping. Though I can't really blame them FPS is alot higher in this versian than it's predecessor. However, the more I play the more the graphics kind of grow on me

oh and disagreeing is not flaming, but disagreeing in a way that insults, incites *ahem* heated discussion, or any combination there of, is flaming.

True, I just wanted to be clear. Some people take saying Halo or Halo2 isn't the best game ever as a personal insult. People can be so odd about things like that sometimes, especially consol players, maybe it's just me.
