Halo ! remember? xbox 2001, halo pc , 2003, halo CE 2004, Halo 3 on xbox 2007? like 15 milllion games sold or something?

Anyway the PC (1.09) and CE version (1.00 cracked) have a few thousand kids who still play it everyday believe it or not. I try to get fun games on Halo CE with some effect lately. I have 3 years of xfire contacts from it and I deal with a website called hptforum.com & halopc.org. THIS IS NOT AN AD. It's just FYI. That site is so badly organized and frustrating to be a part of that I can't even tell you. But it's what i've dealt with the last 2 years with some success.....

My point is Halo PC still has a heartbeat and there is some very edgy gamers there=)


-------------------
This was the best gamenight I've been in so far and I really appreicate everybody who played. I bet some sick clips were made tonight.

Iceland. We took an extra 10 minutes to start but I really enjoyed this map. it was a truly awesome match. Bone is NeprA and noobis idk. no alising.


Cliffhanger. On my team teflon went top and truth held our front. me and baddy made a cap and then somebody else saved a cap for me.


Vendetta. Another of the bottle neck style maps. The screen speaks for itself.


New Mombasa_classic. i think red was about done playing at this time. they kept rejoining. We owned.


Danger Canyon Fx. Would have be amazing 8v8, but the server was ddosed. Whoever did it you could have had my slot instead of messing up the game for these guys.
 
I hated this game, it barely had 100 polygons to make the damn characters, now the new Reach has somewhere around 1,000 which isn't even reaching Crysis.

This is the exact reason new games do not even come close to the great titles that were made ten years ago.

EVERYONE these days is so focused on graphics. Who cares how nice the game looks if it is just like any other game like it in its genre? Who cares how pretty the maps are if they are tiny? Who gives a flying rats tail how many "polies" make up a modle, if the hit boxes or event he weapons in the game suck so badly.

Perfect example - Best game ever created (IMO) is a Quake mod.

Half-Life. Then, deathmatch came out. Fantastic.

Then Team Fortress (the real Team Fortress) - ohh the times.


My point is graphics do NOT make the game, period.

BTW - this is not passed on knowledge, I've been an avid gamer since 1995


*******************

Now - on to the post,

I did enjoy Halo the most. Halo 2 was a little much and halo 3 - well, we'll not discuss hatred on the forums.... If I ever find my PC copy again, I'll see about getting back into it.

the first game had the best story and MP expirence, Ahh the fun times....

Im going to agree with you.

When I have children im going to start them on the old classics such as Quake, Doom, Duke Nukem and others. By then we might have some better technology to play games but those games are what i started with and they are amazing!

Ive got this cousin who only cares about graphics, whenever my uncle is playing an old game hes always like "this is boring, the graphics are rubbish".
 
I have the original Halo: combat Evolved on pc, and its easily my favorite game of all time. It actually took skill to play this game, not just running around like a moron.


Best game ever. <3
 
Halo: CE was great. Never played it on the PC tho. Back then I couldn't afford a rig of any kind.

Halo actually has lost it's luster to me as it goes on. CE will always bee the best Halo. I'm hoping Halo: Reach will be good. If it's not, the only reason I'll finally buy an Xbox will be Gears of War 3.

Halo Reach is pushing over 4 million polygons.

his point was that graphics don't make the game iv seen the halo reach stuff and i can play crysis at a really good 60fps with it all cranked but some of my fav games are still quake mods like wolfenstein enemy territory and the original few team fortress games and even with games that have a modern version i sometimes prefer the old one for game play.

example DoD i like the first one better than DoD:S because it just plays better.

graphics don't make the game good it's all about the gameplay

ya i have to get back into the hang of 3 shotting people with the pistol.
 
I must say, i can't stand it when people make those kinds of statements. Halo Custom Edition is my favorite, well right behind the original Combat Evolved of course, because of the quality of peoples creativity in an already perfect game. Yes, the game was perfect. Look at the time it came out, there were no PC games at the time that had its graphics ability, it's gameplay, and its fan base. The only reason you play video games is for the video...BLAH!

Games with amazing graphics tend to...well..suck. This is my opinion but let us look at Dead Space, that game has some pretty nice graphics when set on high, but the game play is over and over again EXACTLY THE SAME! Halo Combat Evolved constantly changed things up, more weapons, interesting story line which is a known classic storyline ramped up to be much more interesting, fun and repeatable characters, and it could be played by kids who are 10 and adults. The grunts when you play on veteran mode make the FUNNIEST comments, of course all vulgar and rude, but it was hilarious!

Anyone remember Wolfenstein? That and Duke Nukem, best games ever. If they took the graphics and updated them to todays standards you would think it is the best game ever! Ten years down the road, no, 2 years down the road you would think it is the noobiest game.

Metroid Prime anyone? Yeah the graphics aren't that great, but the storyline is amazing! And the graphics FOR ITS TIME are some of the best!

PAPER MARIO for petes sake, nintendo didn't give a crap about graphics obviously, and that game was AWESOME!
 
idk at all about polygons but crysis2 is for pc and i think will push grfx harder than halo reach


as far as gameplay, all the new games based on a "realistic" looking soldier is not a creative as some made up sci-fi war with aliens and exotic locations.



halo ce was not fun, it is fun. these screens were last night. Halo PC/CE needs a clan, EGO could be that. EGO needs to show good leadership in the interest of including smart savvy people no matter what.

Wow, your actually on the side that the entire adult gaming world makes fun of..
 
Haha, actually funny thing is. I hate halo, the console side that is. Full of air headed meat heads that can differentiate a good game from a bad one. But I will have to say Halo CE has to be one of the greatest games I've ever played of all time. Actually, nostalgia is kicking in pretty hard, wishing I haven't sold my copy. Halo CE was actually what got me into PC gaming and I'm not ashamed of saying so. Now I can't say the same about 2 and 3, but reach is looking quite great. Might play it through with a console bud.
 
we had some more awesome maps on halo ce last night.

probably not tonight because of the holiday.


i put up a pub in addition to the server we use for our custom map gamenights.




i wrote a message to artimis ceo of ego a week ago to start a halo pc/ce division here, just for fun and to include as many savvy mature gamers as possible.... he hasnt responded.......

I lawl at your comment.

Read the one under your post.
 
Which is more fun, playing a game with outdated graphics like mario 64 (great game!) or spending 60 bucks on a game to look at the mountains and sky all day that you will play and beat very quickly? :)
