if halo 3 came to ps3 would u buy it?
- Thread starter Breno
- Start date
Alright, as tired as I am of going over the same points again and again, let's do this one more time...
Halo 3 - if I want to snipe, I have to find the Sniper Rifle before anyone else. If I want to shotgun people in the face, I have to find the Shotgun before anyone else. If I want to nuke someone with a massive Laser Cannon, I have to find the Spartan Laser before anyone else.
How is "First come, first serve, fuck the rest of you" more balanced than "every weapon is available from the start, balanced against one another, and the super-weapons are earned in place of alternative super-abilities"?
Halo 3's weapons are dull as fuck, and broken when not dull as fuck. To name but a few weapons of Resistance 2...
CARBINE - a Machinegun with an underslung Grenade Launcher.
MARKSMAN - a "baby" Sniper Rifle that can fire lightning balls.
BULLSEYE - A rapid fire energy weapon that fires homing tags, drawing your shots to the target.
AUGER - A plasma cannon that fires through solid matter, and can produce energy shields.
WRAITH - A Minigun that can produce energy shields.
FAREYE - A Sniper Rifle that slows time for the user [except in multiplayer].
SPLICER - A gun that fires circular saw blades - it's just like Half Life 2, only this time you can rev the blade so it keep spinning inside your victim! Finally, it works like a chainsaw too!
All my friends who own a 360, and own Halo 3, agree the solo play mode was a failure. Nobody I know who follows the Resistance series feels that way about Resistance 2.
Resistance 2's Co-op is "Soldier, get that Wraith up front! Medic, keep the Soldier alive! Spec-Op, give the Soldier some ammo then snipe!"
If you want to run around as the medic trying to gun everyone down, and not bother healing, you can. You'll lose, but you're free to do that. Teams that win in Co-op, especially on "Superhuman" difficulty, win because they play as a team!
Halo 3 customisation = "My armour is Red/Blue/Green/Whatever and my shoulder pads are Red/Blue/Green/Whatever and my Helmet is Standard/Samurai/Retarded."
Resistance 2 customisation = "I have over a dozen body types, a dozen head types, a dozen backpacks, several dozen accessories and on top of that several full-character kits that give us a special pre-made character layout, all of which ensuring I need never look like everyone else, even in a Team game."
Resistance 2 - if I want to snipe, I spawn with a Sniper Rifle. If I want to shotgun people in the face, I spawn with the shotgun. If I want to nuke someone with a massive Laser Cannon, I have to give up the option of having Invisibility, half damage, rapid-healing, double-damage or any other Berserk bonus... and I only get two shots with the big Laser.irishdelinquent said:

I've seen at least 50 unranked games on at a time for Competitive alone... and over half were 60-man games (and full / near full ones at that). We can't track how many Ranked games are running at any one time.

Like was said before, Halo 3's co-op is "lol i play on ma own wiv a n00b followin me!"
Resistance 2's Co-op is "Soldier, get that Wraith up front! Medic, keep the Soldier alive! Spec-Op, give the Soldier some ammo then snipe!"

As said, see Youtube.
Well done, moron, you missed the point!

I agree. I've only played Halo online twice:Hamster at Dawn said:
Alone: it sucked. matched up with screaming american brats with sexual predilictions for eachothers' mothers. Quickly got into a spawn-die-get shouted at routine.
With 4 buddies: Awesome fun. Laughing at eachother's mistakes and deaths and friendly piss taking while running eachother over in the warthogs.
the amount of people asking this when halo 3 was coming out it i was trying so hard not to laugh in there face or say that lolValiance said:

*Ahem* The Halo multiplayer was actually quite good. I have played both Killzones and Resistances multiplayer, and really disliked them. The Halo multiplayer was quite fun, with good character customization and all that. The guns were lacking, I admit, and most matches(deathmatch anyway) boiled down to whoever could get the sword first but they were still fun. The team objective playlists(Bomb, Capture the Flag, Territories) were very fun, tactical and good for a laugh with a friend or two.
I didnt play much of the PS3's 'Halo Killers', but from what I did play Killzone 2 had a great game mode, but I disliked the weaponry. Ranking up to unlock basic classes seemed a bit harsh, but I understood having to unlock better weapons for those classes and better abuilities for them. The Maps weren't too great, but I only played about three so take that comment with a grain of salt.
I disliked what I played of Resistance, I just didnt find it fun. The few matches I played were too hectic, and a bit confusing but that would be expected as I was very new to the game. Im not going to say anymore about it, because I haven't played Resistance for awhile and if I said anymore I'd get smashed in the head by fans of the game, as what I'd say would be wrong due to my terrible memory.
Scarily enough, that was an Intelligent response(more or less) from a Halo fan. Or and ex-halo fan, I suppose, I havent played the game in awhile
If I really "thing"? Ok.... First off, I've had my 360 for over a year and never had a single problem. The same can be said for 5 of my friends. I only personally know 1 person that got the RROD. Again you PS3 fanboys default to RROD since you have no argument at all.Mazty said:
I don't get why people say no, it's a good game. If you like shooters saying you wouldn't seems like your closing your eyes rolling round on the floor shouting nooooo anything on the 360 is bad and not as good as the ps3. Try to get off your pedestals remove your dick from the ps3 or quit using it as a tampon because that's not what it's for.
Giving halo it's merits it's a good shooter, with good multiplayer. Don't down it because of the fan base who they tried to sell it to, or what platform it's on. I think you would find it hard to justify liking shooters and disliking halo 3 to the point you don't think it's worth a playthrough. At least not with sounding like a sony fanboy. Hell if killzone came out on the xbox I would play it, not because it was made by a sony affliated company but because it's a solid game which is recommended by critics.
