Dennis is only human too

Or is he, as some ancient astronaut theorists believe, a living flesh and blood extra-terrestrial?

History Channel's Ancient Aliens anyone? :P

Gawd, only everyone knows that Dennis is a Synthetic Machine. lol

I tend to defend things that are being unfairly treated. In the case of this thread, the opinions he posts about CEA are uneducated and ridiculous. To compensate for his lack of actual knowledge about the game, he just sucks up to the community and everyone loves him for it, its really kind of sad xP

Was Marathon the first?

are you serious?

Wolfenstein 3D maybe??? Marathon wasn't even Bungie's first fps. Pathways was.

doom was ported to the snes and genesis. Goldeneye was a hit.

Now tell me again what halo was the first to do?

@Hiahg

from what I know, they nailed the controls for a console shooter which now pretty much is the base for most controls in other FPS games. And they successfully had a 'dramatic' story.

I love Halo, as probably most of you do but really... You guys have no shame in dipping yourself in the mudpit of shame. You like Halo blindly, you don't even care about anything other than new assets or pretty much anything new. You see something that doesn't involve super high poly models and majority of you guys think you have the balls to accomplish something just as. No one will believe you until they see it completed. So don't linger on the IDEA that you can do better. After all, ideas can be forgotten easily. Especially in this community.

8/10 of you guys lack originality. All I see is remakes, hoping you can do as good as a company such as Bungie or 343i. Not one map/mod I've seen here is up to industry level. Majority, a large majority of you guys are amateurs. I'm not saying that I'm not, but seriously, take that metal rod out of your ass and face reality.

What would happen if everyone in the community banded together to make one huge project?
Prepare the riot shields.

Shade, you're right, most of us ARE amateur quality. However, that is amateur quality in todays videogaming world. In Halo CE, a lot are professional in that sort of way. CMT, TM, even Bourrin and that dude that made the sweet Gauss Sniper. So, if you mean amateur for us, is it in todays gaming world, or in CEs?

Relativity is nothing. Being good in a very narrow field doesn't mean squat.

That's like saying "I'm the smartest person in a group of idiots." nothing remarkable.

There are a lot of idiots, so your analogy would be better to read, "I'm the smartest person in a small group of idiots."

Being the smartest idiot isn't too bad.

I thought Halo CEA looked great.

If everyone banded together,we may get somewhere close to Bungie.

Except that's never going to happen. Not anytime soon anyway.

Halo popularized the FPS genre on the console, created an amazing system for multiplayer that was streamlined and efficient between two or more consoles.
Halo made it accessible for people who wanted an experience on a console just like PC.
One thing that Halo bought that was horrid was MLG and the arrogance that came with it.

Halo was first to have bipedal aliens with pincer mouths xD

Nope. Alien my friend. Halo was the first to have bipedal Aliens with mandibles though. :P

A more appropriate sentence would be "Halo was the first game that looked like it did" It looked great.

Halo revolutionized the Console FPS. That's kind of redefined the industry as it is today.

predator maybe??



and is that something to be proud of? last I checked PC shooters with mouse and keyboard input and bundled editing kits are far superior in every way: superior controls, binds, options.. and most importantly, user mods. ever since shooters have moved over to consoles, these features have become more and more obsolete. the industry has taken to locking down everything about their games and giving the end user no access to any of it.

consoles will always be inferior to PCs. the industry has just swayed away from PC gaming and put all it's effort into consoles, because that's where all the money is.

so I ask again, is that something to be proud of?

For a huge corporation, in a capitalist society?
I would say yes.

well, for the sake of my argument, let me ask something.

had the Halo games and most of the big-name games these days all come out on the PC platform, exclusively, or even multiplatform with bundled editing kits, would any of you even want to own an xbox?

the answer is most likely no. why spend money on an extra device when you can just play the games you love on the PC?

the way I see it, the existance of modern consoles is a slap in the face to gamers and modders, and is nothing more than corporations trying to squeeze every cent they can out of gamers. consoles only exist to resist piracy and cater to people who think PC gamers are nerds with no friends or social lives.

Because a lot of us didn't have computers that were capable of running games like Halo back then, ours was still running 95 :/

well, 300 dollars for a console and 300 dollars for computer upgrades will likely give you the same quality of gaming

Considering it's most console games that inspired to pursue development on the PC, then yes, I believe console games are a good thing.

Christ, has this thread seriously turned into a PC vs Console debate?

but if there were no console games it'd be pc games that inspire developement on the pc.

It worked both ways for me.

I laugh and take a drag of my stoge as to where this thread has gone.

Also, I saw in a couple of posts how the CE community is just jealous of how 343 did it before them. I got just one thing to say to that.

SPV2.

This community did more. For free. Sure, it's not done, but it's still more.

Is that the original Xbox!?!

Halo wouldn't have been as prominent. Part of its success is the fact that it was the first console FPS to work right and that it basically is the reason why Xbox became so successful. If it was PC only, I doubt it would be so adored by so many fans.

God you are an idiot.

I ain't gay

Cool.

Halo 2, 3, and 3 ODST sucked. Reach is the only decent Halo on Xbox that I've played. I haven't played Halo 1 on Xbox but it probably sucks.

This thread is basically a super congealed mass of opinions.
