TimeSplitters is better in every way, in both single-player and multi-player. It has more weapons, game modes, customizations, and content. And it doesn't have that stupid regenerating health system. The single-player is actually fun, with a funny storyline.

Time splitters=bad..and completely horrible made by a studio without the range or talent beyond their goldeneye roots which is why the games played exactly like golden eye in the end their non-talent is why they eventually went under.

Halo=mediocre at best but it wasn't atleast a last gen, and current gen game franchise based all most completely in its gameplay off a game that was already pretty old by most standards.

Time splitters deserved its low scroing, low sales place, Halo didn't deserve its high scoring, high selling place. but please Timesplitters was by no means underated it received what it received because it was just that bad.

Time Splitters is the most overrated FPS ever in existence. So much praise for such an underwhelming game. Don't get me wrong its a decent game but with each iteration look at the FPS that have come out along side them in the year of each release. They utterly put TS to shame.

Really? It is a proved AAA series, gameplay old? It is a FPS there is only so much you can do and Halo does it all. You cant be serious.

Time splitters deserved its low scroingWilliamRLBaker

Timesplitters Future Perfect: 8.1

Timesplitters 2: 8.7

Timesplitters: 8.4

What are these "low scores" you're talking about? Also Haze is why they went under.

You bring a compelling argument, which I respectfully disagree with. Now, if you don't mind me, I have a hype train to catch.

Lord Almighty, Tagy. Your sig is rockin'! :D On topic, I resctfully disagree, TC, having played a lot of of FPSes. Timesplitters was a good series. Halo is a fantastic series, even with all it's flaws. Hype is all well and good, but even crazy hype won't save a mediocre game in the court of public opinion. Probably why I haven't bought an Activision game in 2 years. Huh.

Yeah, but here's the thing; TimeSplitters is defunct, Halo is trhiving.

And plus you can jump in Halo :D

But I don't like either series, so you can take what I say as you will.

In writing Time Splitters works. Too bad the game controls are CRAP. I had one of the Time Splitters for gamecube, forget which one, but it was no match for the glorious Halo.

Might have been Timesplitters 2, i remember the manual aiming was beyond horrible, horrible as in think about goldeneye manual aiming on N64.

Why do people even bother to respond to topics like this anymore?

You've replied multiple times to this guy as Brosyn, Trozyn, g805ge, ceforga...

Ignore topics like this and let him just go away.

while i liked timesplitters, there was something that kept me from loving it, it definitly wasn't as fun as halo, maybe it was too much like goldeneye with tons of stupid crap thrown in.

a proven AAA series? lol no. the post below you proved it got AA scores.

@Archville_78 I should edit my post but I'll do it here, It deserved lower scores then it got its not underrated Infact it was overrated highly and no haze is not why it went under Free radical had been in trouble for years before it went under, Haze was their last chance.

time splitters as a series followed the golden eye formula to the letter, they didn't change, improve, or tweak it in any meaningful way over what 5 games? Halo atleast added things and changed things with each itteration even though it was mediocre it was still a change.

Ah i see. Honestly my only gripe with it was the manual aiming but its been fixed in TSFP. I wouldn't call the serie underrated though it had a solid fanbase, for me it just stood out more than most monotonous FPS we had at the time.

Never played TS, heard it was good. I don't like the word overrated, but I think Halo is overpraised by its fanbase more than most games.

Yeah, that's a little out there. I enjoyed the first and second Timesplitters on the Gamecube, but I would say it's not a stellar title, but a little above average.Very good multiplayer,but the single player was a bit stale. As far as Halo not deserving the hype, I think it came out the gate with Halo and Halo 2, which were very good games, and well deserving of the hype imo.

Since Halo Reach returned to only have regenerating shields, I don't think that argument can be used anymore. In fact, three out of the 5 Halo games Bungie made do not have the regeneration health trait (1, ODST, and Reach).

Timesplitters is an incredible game, but it hasn't been discussed for some time because there hasn't been a Timesplitters game this generation. It's a bit like how, before The Last Guardian was even hinted at, people didn't talk about ICO or its sequel much. Personally, I think both series are truly great, and Halo still has some things to learn from Timesplitters (for example, possibly the challenge-modes and most importantly inclusion of bots!).

Threads like this make TimeSplitters look very overhyped. Only TimeSplitters2 was great but still not close to any Halo game.
