Halo Combat Evolved Vs. Golden Eye 64

I don't think Halo has badly at all. Still fun to play. However I loved Goldeneye far more when it was new. Nowadays I can't enjoy it at all though.

I think Halo is way better than Goldeneye. Not only the graphics (which isn't really fair since it's an entire generation ahead), and the controls (2 thumbsticks); but also the story. The story and the characters in that story are way better.

Goldeneye is at a massive disadvantage with its age, as is Perfect Dark.  Perfect Dark 64 would beat every FPS like this if it was updated on PC.  Timesplitters is also awesome.  

In terms of influence, GoldenEye 007 had the bigger impact on the gaming industry.

In terms of playability, Halo has aged better than GoldenEye 007.

To be honest, I don't really like either game. Goldeneye 64 has aged horribly and I've never really been into Halo. But if I had to pick one to play today I'd probably enjoy Halo more.

These are two great shooters, and both have aged badly, except probably Halo 1, it's still has some years left.Jakandsigz

lol. So Halo 1 has aged badly but hasn't aged badly at the same time?

Was just playing some Halo co-op with my friend earlier today... The damn game plays just as good as it did in 2002 when I first played it. Can't say the same for GE.

It's an unfair comparison. It would make more sense comparing GoldenEye to Doom or Half-Life, or comparing Halo to Metroid Prime or TimeSplitters. It makes no sense comparing shooters from two different eras, since that gives the game from the later era an unfair advantage.

these games cant even be compared to eachother. Halo is totally different than golden eye.

PD XBLA is the definitive Speed Strafe FPS, of modern times.

Why not? It's simple question of what game did you like better. And they're both FPS at that, so it should be very easy to compare.

Goldeneye hands down.

I've only played Halo but loved the single-player campaign for it

Halo 1 on PC.

I don't like to play FP shooters with a gamepad.

However, I will say that both were important console shooters that influenced many shooters afterwards. (GE with it's realistic guns and settings and well-used movie license and Halo with it's vehicle usage, exchangable weapons and health regen)

knowing both games very well I would say you can't compare the two.

Halo for single player, Goldeneye for multiplayer.

Goldeneye may not compare to Halo:CE, but it is still a fun throwback. It's multiplayer was the greatest thing since sliced bread, and had fun little easter eggs and cheats, my favorite being paintball mode. For more bang for your buck, of course Halo, but if you want a fun piece of nostalgia, it's Goldeneye.

I played Halo Combat Evolved at my cousins house December of 2001. At the time I still gamed on my Dreamcast.

Halo blew me away... you had vastly different levels, levels with huge scope, vehicle combat, in air combat, very smart AI, good story, fantastic graphics.

His neighbor bought an Xbox the same time frame, so we linked those puppies up, and played multiplayer with the neighborehood kids every weekend. Halo also set the FPS controller standard. The game still holds up to this day...Anniversary Edition proves that.

Goldeneye was great in its own right; however, Halo to me set the standard for how a FPS should be built and how one should play.

Had Xbox Live been around during the time of Halo CE, that would have sealed the deal.

Which is the better game? Sorry but this is bit unfair as comparisons go. Golden eye is a game from the mid 90's when console FPS games weren't really all that hot, and halo combat evolved came out in the early 2000's, on a far more powerful platform, with all the advancements of shooters made since golden eye behind it. Not a fair comparison really. Though I do believe that golden eye had the superior influence on the console fps genre. Many of the basics that are in Halo CE are built up from golden eye.

Halo

what happens to be playing on my tv right now-goldeneye007 for the nintendo 64 , halo is just to boring , cheap a blatent rip off of half life ,  i dont even wanna touch halo today, because they never do anything new , its the same ol bs all over again goldeneye is better hands down , 

I still play Goldeneye to this day in multiplayer with friends or when no one is about i play the single player campaign, ok halo obviously looks much better but for some reason i have more fun playing goldeneye than as master chief.

Goldeneye has aged much worse than Halo, even though I hate those kinds of comparisons.

I was always in the minority thinking that Goldeneye was never better than okay, and Halo I thought was just great when it came out.

Halo and Half-Life have very little in common, especially since H-L borders on being a survival horror game half the time and Halo does nothing of the sort...it's about space war. Master Chief wouldn't even have a use for a crowbar. 

And the games don't even feel close to one another; Valve has a style to their games that Bungie didn't approach even slightly. 

Master Chief wouldn't even have a use for a crowbar.

Well of course not, Master Chief has super-stength.

[QUOTE="Abagnam"]Goldeneye is better.... but is older.... Nintendo should invest in a new fpsJakandsigz

I don't think he ment they should make another GoldenEye...

Part of what made GE so good in it's time was also that it was something yet unseen on console systems and beyond.

To just rehash GE once again wouldn't have nearly the same effect.

It would have to be a fully new, yet unseen type of game for a similar effect. (and well-made, of course)

I'm going to do one of these threads......

i have played both games with no life and i would say i enjoy golden eye more because halo brought in alot of noobs with its easy campaign. now halo has better multiplayer but only because its newer. this isnt a fair comparison but i put more hours into golden eye.
