halo 2 would have been the best game ever if it wasn't a FPS

[davidflecha17]

Halo 2 will be one of the best games of all time but it wont be the best.

Come on, you guys seen all of the movies, pics,and everything else that has to do with Halo 2 but isn't it true that you wish that you can have a third person point of view in which you can see master chief on screen all the time?

Master Chief looks too awesome just to show his arms most of the time. My personal opinion is that if you can interact with Master chief similar to how people interacted with sam fisher from splinter cell. have him jump, be stealth like, aim when you want and not be forced to play the whole game in first person.

Something that would have been cool if they did what hitman 2 and 3 did for the xbox. Players have the choice to have a First person POV or a third person POV.

I do like FPS, don't get me wrong, but I like 3rd person shooters way better. Does anyone else feel this way about FPS?

[Scorch]

Maybe they did. You haven't played the game yet.

If they didn't, maybe they will in an update.

Personally, I'd like to see a user made kung fu mod.

I am tired of all this Halo 2 crap...there is a guy down the hall who has a huge countdown and everything Halo. I dont see why people get off on this game, I mean I have played it a couple of times and got my butt handed to me because of the XBOX controllers and its nothing to freak out about.

FPS give me headaches and motion sickness
if it was 3rd person id luv the game more

[vanlandw]

i have to disagree....and their are third person parts in halo and halo 2 i would assume.

[zewone]

3rd person if you count driving/flying the vehicles.

[Alpha2]

I've hated FPS from the day I realized I cant play them without getting motionsick. The only reason I give Metroid Prime a chance is because it's a slow moving game and dosent require you to strain your eyes.

Master Chief looks too awesome

No, Master Chief looks like crap. Most generic character ever.

[spyhunterk19]

I hate halo beaters...

I mean, come on....there has to be some truth in how good it is. There are thousands and thousands of people who have Lan parties every month, including myself. It did what perfect dark did for n64 for xbox. It didn't create the genre, it came really close to perfecting it.

I know what some of you mean with the motion sickness. Some FPSs definitely make me ill (Counterstrike for example). But for some reason Halo doesn't do it, or rather it makes me ill a lot less. Not sure why.

Probably because it's so slow.

I am VERY sensitive to motion sickness, but I only get it on PC games. It must be the high resolution and closeness to the screen. I didn't get dizzy on Halo because the TV was far away, but I can only play Doom 3 for 20 minutes before I get sick.

[LinkinPrime]

I read a BUNGIE interview a while back, that they said they might make some sort of action strategy game based on Halo. Now this was like 1-2 years ago, I dont remember if I saw it online or on the internet, but I saw it. If it happens or not, well thats a different story...

Then again, if it aint broke, dont fix it! HALO(2) IS THE SHIZNIT!!!!

[Trakan]

Nope. I think it will do just fine as a FPS.

[the_gloaming]

I don't think it would be nearly as legendary a game as it is now if it were third-person. Could you imagine multiplayer in third person? I don't know, I guess I can see how some people would like it, but Halo, for me, wouldn't be Halo if it weren't FPS.

And I don't really like FPSs, either. There was just something about it that made it different. As for other formats .. wasn't Halo originally set to be an RTS? I remember seeing screens of it in production as one, with Warthogs and so forth in it.

Also, Master Chief is also one of the most generic designs ever. Before I knew anything about Halo, or Xbox, I thought he was just a glorified spaceman, nothing special at all. An astronaut or something. That's what I think, anyway.

[dnt_h8me2]

Nope. I think it will do just fine as a FPS.

Just what I was thinking.

[davidflecha17]

just as fine as a FPS? the best selling games of all time were not FPS. some one give me a reason why FPS are better than a 3rd person shooter?

these games just seem less realistic when you see a gun on screen. The only games that I like first person POV are racing games.

Agreed. He is a big guy in a shiny green suit. Nothing we haven't seen.

[ryosnk]

Being a FPS game, it makes me fell like I'm the person in control; not the person controling the person as in a third-person.

I think I said it right :).

Me too. I'm so sad. =( Maybe I'll take dramamine and try it out. hehe

Never justify anything with "alot of people do it". Tons of people watch TRL every day, tons of people own every Britney Spears cd, and tons of people still claim that the Simpsons is still funny.

Just because alot of people do something, doesn't make it true or right. The truth is that the world is filled with a lot of stupid people.

Yeah, early in the development it was going to be a strategy game for the pc with a bunch of Master Chiefs against the Covenant.
A year or so ago there was a tv show on A&E or Discovery, (some cable channel can't remember exactly) on the making of Halo series, Crimson Skies and Oddworld Stranger. Anyhow there was a very brief mention about Halo originally being a RTS and a quick glimse of it.

[alongx]

IMO, Master Cheif is a pretty ugly designed character. Halo's a great game, but I'm glad I don't have to see him on the screen at all times.

Like you, right?


Just kidding. Maybe.

[ryanbph]

in the books, their was I think about 80 of the spartans..i am 1/2 way thru the 2nd book, and supposedly, it is believed master chief, is the last one

[catacasa]

FPS always gave me a better feel like I was the person in the game...not just some poor, drunk bastard moving the person in the game around.
