[QUOTE="tango90101"][QUOTE="skrat_01"][QUOTE="tango90101"] everyone has an opinion.
for instance, Time magazine called Halo3 truly innovative and "the thinking man's shooter"...
me? i'll take Time's opinion simply b/c i've played it and i agree... :)

I'd like to know how it is innovative, and *AHEM* a thinking mans shooter.
personally, i like the fluidity of moving from vehicles to onfoot, w/o changing the control schemes. I'm sure it's been done before on pc games, but this is NOT a pc game.... the gravity hammer also comes to mind when thinking of innovation...
on the thinking man's shooter thing, i'd say the way the enemy reacts to your activity means that you just can't run and gun and hope to survive... not the mention the depth of the story..
but i'm sure you think it's just another generic fps.... which is funny considering the insane amount of sales, high reviews and articles written using the word "innovative"...
maybe you just know more than the all the reviewers and journalists...
Well its 'fluid vehicle changing' is identical to Halo CEs in 2001... so go figure. The Gravity Hammer is not innovative. Seriously suggesting that is rediculous. If you had said 'one of the coolest weapons ever' I would have agreed.
"way the enemy reacts to your activity". Yes its called a.i - and every game has it (minus COD4 lol). Its nothing special. Halo 3s a.i isnt really anythign specail nowdays - though does have moments of greatness (suicide grunts). Halo 3 still is a run and gun game - just like CE. no question.
A 'thinking mans FPS' is Crysis, or even Bioshock - for the amount of variety and combinations - both in attacks and tactically to take down opponents.
Ive already talked about the story. Its a mess. I think its a total disaster. It was executed worse than Halo 2, and is less interesting than halo 2's (such as the Arbiters story) imo.
So sales = a great game. Please tell that to all the developers who make profit from shovelware, or is The Sims now one of the best games ever made - even better than every Halo and Half Life. I guess WoW should be goty each year because of its rising sales... right?
Its SINGLEPLAYER is average. I think its multiplayer is top notch - and the real core of the game.
Like I said - high reviews dont initially = fantastic zomg game. Halo 2 is wideley regarded as average - even BUNGIE said so - and it scored well. Look at Oblivion - it scored well, and is completely shunned by people. I could go on.
I already said Halo 3 was a 9/10 game. It has great features, and exellent Mp - its singleplayer is average. Just because its SP is a huge letdown and a mess, doesent mean teh game sucks overall....
Oh and Halo 3 IS NOT INNOVATIVE AT ALL.
I IMPLORE you to argue that it is. Go on get links of articles or try and argue the point yourself. IT simply isnt. That is a fact so blatantly obvius you shouldent even be trying to argue against it.
again, you're using pc gaming as your frame of reference...
nowhere did Time magazine ever call Halo3 a pc game.. so please learn the difference
i disagree with the ai comment... look at Killzone and Shellshock. both shooters with HORRENDOUS ai... not EVERY game does it right...sorry
if the professional reviewers call it a AAA game but you say it isn't, even tho you're outnumbered 100 to 1, am i supposed to take you seriously..
the fact is; you WILL find fault with Halo3 no matter what, as that's the slant of your posts as proven by your post history is distinctly anti-360..
maybe you should write Time magazine and tell them what you said here... i'm sure they'll agree with you...:roll:
i swear, you "hardcore gamers" could suck the fun out of anything...
you "implore" me to argue this? argue what? youre obviously biased and outnumbered OPINION? can't be done. especially to one who's made their mind up to such an extreme...
one more time for the hard of reading; it IS innovative to the console gaming world... like it or not...
