Topic: Halo 3 wants to rape you.

[18 Days]

Fucksakes. If Bungie released Halo on Mac/PC, identical to how it turned out on Xbox, NO ONE WOULD GIVE TWO SHITS ABOUT THE GAME. because when directly compared with other FPSes, it falls so horribly short. But no, being the only good game at the launch of an over advertised console sends it to megastar status.

Riiiigggggghhhhtttt. That explains why Halo 2 is still one of the most played online games. I know it's pointless defending non-nintendo games on this board but it still has to be said that the game does FPS a hell of a lot better than most console games.

The legendary edition is a moot point anyway. It is an extremely limited edition and it is mainly for those that want the helmet. Think of it as a version of Zelda with one of those Link statues.

Keyboard and Mouse is how the real FPS do it. Halo's status among other console FPS games is irrelevant because, in the end, that's not where the real competition is.

Maybe it's just me but I find just as much enjoyment with a great console FPS as I do with the PC counterpart.  So far the XBox has been the only source of quality console FPS experience but hopefully the Wii will eventually have a killer shooter of its own. Rainbow Six: Vegas, Halo 2, and Call of Duty 2 were all really fun games.  The console FPS is a different beast but when done right it can be just as fun as the PC counterpart.  It will be interesting to see how Shadowrun works with the PC vs. console experience.
