>fight the same three enemies with the same four weapons in copy and pasted environmentsHoly shit this game sucks.
it was popular for the local multiplayer, not the campaign
I'm old enough to remember when halo was considered a casual baby game
>>741920887still is, the babies just grew up to be nostalgic about it
>>741920647>>fight the same three enemies with the same four weapons in copy and pasted environmentsMeanwhile...
All single player FPS games suck.
>>741921623Fear has more enemy variety and one of the best gimmicks in any FPS.
>>741921623FEAR had the horror element, I think all the drab lifeless environments you played through really worked for the atmosphere.
>>741921623combat in FEAR is at least pretty fast but yeah the offices fucking suck
it was kinobut I remember halo 2 being the best
>>741921623soul
>>741921623Shooting and moving in FEAR feels 1000x better than Halo
>>741921623Was just about to post FEAR. You fight a whopping (one) enemy type for 95% of the game.
>>741920647It actually had a lot going on for its time>well designed vehicle combat in open environments>popularized dedicated melee and grenade buttons>introducing the flood halfway through the game is one of the greatest twists in gaming>some of the best early 2000s multiplayer
>>741921886but they're heavily scripted in a way that makes them feel different every encounter
>>741921867>movingNah it's too slow. I like the low gravity floatiness in Halo which lets jumping give you an edge.
>>741921972movement also carries momentum which influences melee, something most games with a dedicated melee button don't realize.
>>741921867Enemies are also much lower HP, which makes playing the game much less of a slog.
>>741921623Lol at the fearfags coping
these threads are just seething PC users who happen to be obesemad because they couldn't enjoy peak with everyone elsealso I played FEAR. so overhyped. just generic shooter with some gay slow mo gimmick. flushed so fast
>>741920647Well yeah it was a console shooter, what more is to be expected?
>halomoar like GAYLO lmaoooo
>>741920647>Grunt>Jackal>Elite>Hunter>Spore floods>Combat form floods>Exploding floods>Ghost>Banshee>Wraith>Shade
>>741922212Most of the game is just the first three. Also padding out the list with three vehicles.
>>741922258>Also padding out the list with three vehicles.Do they alter how combat plays out?
>>741922326Why not count the turrets too? Dishonest bullshit.
>>741922369>Why not count the turrets too?Agreed, count them too.
>>741922258The elites are cool enough to carry the game
>>741922369>Shade
>>741922212ludokino
>>741922212You forgot sentinels
>>741922402You either plasma pistol them or play a cover shooter with them, not a very fun enemy.
>>741922528Maybe if you're boring pussy, i always plasma rifle them and then melee duel them to death on legendary
>>741922098there is nothing "peak" about Halo 2
>>741922974i fucking LOVE the ZOG though
>>741922676>plasma riflePatrician choice. Best weapon in the game. Cuts through elites, jackals, hunters, and sentinels like butter.
Halo 1 is a meh game, only reason to play it today is "Fun with friends"Halo 2 has solid parts, very memorable but is weak in a few places, not a deal breaker, still solid.Halo 3 is prime, Short but has great encounter design. Halo 3 odst is lower than halo 2 in quality, its okay nothing mind blowing.Reach is meh, stopped playing halo after that.
>>741922974Halo 2 had best multiplayer for yearsI play halo 3 only nowadays but halo 2 was the most fun i had online in playlists like team hardcore and smg start btb waaaaaaaay back in the day
>>741925629H3 has the worst campaign honestly, all of it is a non memorable blur but the desert level and the level that looks like Halo from CE, the CE levels all have a strong and memorable presence
>>741925629H3 is fucking terrible, it doesn't even have Elites. Anyone who praises its ass campaign is blinded by nostalgia.
>>741920647Meanwhile in Half-Life 2.
>>741926008>>741926021Eh, i guess you can say halo 2 is betterBut there is no real world where you can say halo 1 or odst is better than 3
>>741925629H3's opening missions on Earth are all weaker than Halo 2's.Cortana is literally the back-half of what should have been the crashed cruiser in Floodgate repurposed into being High Charity, and both levels suffer badly for it with Floodgate being ridiculously short and Cortana not looking like High Charity at all.The only good levels in the game are the ones on the Ark, and Brutes are not as interesting to fight compared to Elites.
>>741926281I can, it has more levels, better enemies to fight, the shotgun and sniper are way better.Odst was bad because it was a H3 dlc
>>741920887>>741921503Fat balding childless millennial here. These posts go hard.
>>741922525True! And they come in both shielded and unshielded varieties. Honestly, anon is underselling the enemy diversity a bit. An Elite Minor with a Needler is a much different encounter than an Elite Zealot with a Plasma Rifle for instance.
which campaigns are still good solo
>>741926569All of them : )Kind of sick of playing the game where I have to pretend like every campaign except my favorite is irredeemable dogshit. They're all good.
>>741920647>literally the best FPS campaign ever made>/v/ wow this sucksThe absolute state of this shithole
more like gaylo
Even back in the day halo was just average. I never got the hype. It's not terrible but it seems like one of those games everyone is told is awesome and they just believe it and parrot it. They're decent games and halo 2 online was okay but they weren't awesome or revolutionary
>I went in wanting to hate it and didn't like it heh take thatVery interesting. Thanks for sharing.
>>741920647If you aren't playing on Legendary you aren't seeing the full effect of how the enemy types work with each other. On normal the elites just stand around and let you shoot them
>>741926842Even back in the day Halo was amazing. I never got the hate. It's not perfect but it seems like one of those games all the 4channers are told is shit and they just believe it and parrot it. They're great games and Halo 2 online was revolutionary and awesome and wasn't just okay
>>741926978well said
>>741926978Yeah halo 2 for its time did not have many rivalsIt came out weeks before half life 2.Honestly a breathtaking exp for the time and im more of a halo 3 fan
>>741926932Yeah this is kind of a strange thing. Doom on Hurt Me Plenty and below is pretty damn braindead but for some reason people balk at the idea the higher difficulties are the intended difficulties other FPS. Even though Halo 1 and 2 have unique encounters that only appear on Legendary. Criticism of 3 here, most of the time they spawn in some Fuel Rod Grunts in existing encounters and call it a day lol. Not the same.
>>741926978Halo on normal is more like easy in reality, heroic was always the intended difficulty for beginners but because of how the original xbox is a lot of peoples first console they had to make normal braindead
>>741927186*for other FPS
>>741927239Yeah I remember the developer commentary of Halo 2 said iirc they had someone's grandma/dad come in to test Easy difficulty and the developers kept lowering it until the tester could actually beat it.
>>741927239Meant for>>741926932
>>741921902reading posts like this its clear the game was popular because its fans were completely ignorant of other games at the time
>>741927889>Chungus blustering vagueposting
>>741927889I did check out your pcfag games, i didn't miss out on much, serious sam was kind of novel i guess
I can't imagine there is a single player out there that wants to play Halo: CE campaign again. Between the original, the anniversary, the MCC. Haven't we had enough?
>>741928017It's not made for us but snoys and nufans who started with H5 and infinite
>>741928328Maybe more for playstation players.
>>741922974>Best campaign missions of the franchise>Best narrative/story in the franchise>Best 4v4 MP maps in the franchise>Top 3 best feeling movement and gunplay in the franchise alongside H5 and Infinite>Second best soundtrack in the franchise after ODSTPlenty of it is peak, the only things that aren't are it's graphics not aging well in some cases, the weapon balance being ass, and the BTB maps being meh>>741926281>>741926361I'd put ODST as my second favorite campaign in the series. The level design quality certainly isn't obviously worse then 3';s or reach's, even if it is arguably so, and it's certainly better then CE's on average. It has an above average plot/writing for the series, and it's got a god tier atmosphere
>>741922162perfect dark...
>>741925629you mean sp? h3 came with my 360 and it was terrible. the fov was so bloody low, i ended up using gravity hammer as much as possible. halo 1 was a baby game with dumbed down sponge gameplay but it at least it had a vision cone
>>741920647>>741921623Both these games were marketed to normalfag casual gamers when they released but now modern day boomer posers pretend these games were way better than what they were. It would be like pretending fortnite or modern call of duty in the modern era were somehow misunderstood masterpieces.
>>741926281I would say that ODST has a better campaign than Halo 3 but that's purely because of replay value. I liked doing the pve challenges on mcc and I ended up *hating* Halo 3's missions because of how much of a slog they were. Way too long. ODST's missions on the other hand? I could replay that campaign forever. >>741927239This very much. I usually play on Legendary/Heroic and whenever I bother playing on Normal it is laughable how much of a push over the enemies are.>>741926842Eh it's just a matter of perspective. Halo 2 was on the only Halo online that properly had the space to itself. Halo 3 perhaps as well for a moment. Then Gears Of War came. Then Call Of Duty came. If you didn't think Halo was peak back then then you probably played those games. And they were pretty decent games too so no shade on you if so. Concerning Halo, I'm just glad that the mcc and mod tools are out as they are now. I'm also grateful to have experienced Halo 3 custom lobbies at the very end of Halo 3 online's lifespan (before the shut down resurgence). I had no right to experience something that special but I did.
>>741920647please understand that it was babies first fps
>>741920647Pre 343 Halo hate is so forced
>>741926193Gordon Freeman is a genius phd scientist so this gameplay is lore consistent
