I just figured it's common sense to compare FPS games to other FPS games and didn't feel the need to specify it. As for Operation Flashpoint, can't say I've played it, but that still doesn't mean Halo is not a good game. Other than that you're just being a prick now...Eggo said:Stop moving goal posts and start being more clear; you didn't specify PC FPS games in your original post.
And if you think Operation Flashpoint [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Flashpoint] is mediocre, especially considering how active the community is, then I have nothing more left to say to such a dedicated fellow PC gamer.

A quick Google search:As for Halo being mediocre, I'd say it's better than that. Considering when it first came out, the PC market didn't exactly put out anything that year that blows it out of the water...

I wonder how much of a fellow PC gamer you really are.
Are you kidding? I believe Max Payne came out in 2001 , along with Icewind Dale, Baldurs Gate 2, and I wanna say counterstrike.Jandau said:Ok, can you clear up one more thing for me?

Why would you compare BG2 or IWD to Halo?Aries_Split said:Are you kidding? I believe Max Payne came out in 2001 , along with Icewind Dale, Baldurs Gate 2, and I wanna say counterstrike.
Yeah. Why compare two of the best RPGs in the history of PC gaming to a mediocre PC game/overhyped console game (because it wasn't hyped on PC - why, if we have better FPS games)? That makes no sense.Jandau said:Why would you compare BG2 or IWD to Halo?Aries_Split said:Are you kidding?

Sooo... I need to play every game ever made before I can state an opinion?Eggo said:Err, actually, since that was your whole argument against it being mediocre earlier...I think it does.
You're welcome to disagree with my opinion, but you are not welcome to insult my "understanding". As polite as your flaming is, it's flaming nontheless and if you can't discuss a topic without resorting to low blows, please don't post...Eggo said:If you really think Halo measures up to Max Payne, Operation Flashpoint, and all the other great games that came out in 2001, then you're completely welcome to that opinion. But that also means I'm completely welcome to disparage your lack of understanding.
Except BG2 and IWD are RPGs and Halo is an FPS, so it's a case of Apples VS Oranges?Abedeus said:Yeah. Why compare two of the best RPGs in the history of PC gaming to a mediocre PC game/overhyped console game (because it wasn't hyped on PC - why, if we have better FPS games)? That makes no sense.
It's like comparing Da Vinci to local graffiti "artists".
