Poll: Do you think Halo Reach seems just a lttle bit more" realistic" than other sci fi shooters?

[The Rookie Gamer]

Yeah, it seems more believable then the other Halos in a way(though I still love them)

 

[me and my dog]

I think that MGS4 is the most realistic shooter I've played. A game where you have to actively regulate your psyche and stress, in relation to how hungry the character is, how hot or warm the temperature is, the level of danger, the amount of soldiers killed, etc. The reticule enlargens when you shoot as well.
That said, Halo Reach does look at least a little interesting, but I lost hope when I heard that it was a prequel. Halo didn't need a prequel at all.

MGS4 is kinda more a stealth game than a shooter. It had shooter elements yes,but so did fallout 3 and that's not exactly classified as a shooter. Opinion.

It can be, but MGS4 is the exception of the stealth series where you can pretty much play it however you want. Guns blazing, or floor crawling, the player decides the genre of the game. Sorry, that was more of a rant on how realistic 4 was, then what I thought about Reach.
I don't think I've played many realistic sci-fi shooters before. There's always a suspension in belief somewhere. That said, Pac-man is more realistic than some of the mechanics in Call of Duty. I think Reach would be far more balanced. (That said, I can't stand to play online!)

True. It's just every time I played mgs4, and I got into a shooter situation that could have easily worked better with a stealth situation,it just feels awkward because you'd think a veteran like snake would get through that situation without violence no problem.

I agree. But wasn't that feeling the same with the other games?

What other games? If you mean the other mgs game, then sorry but mgs4 was the only mgs game I played(I read the stories of each game a thousands times on Wikipedia though so I get the story).

Ah, but it's not the same as playing through them though.

Clearly you've never read about the Halo universe :}

If you consider inexplicibly bright-coloured alien armies decending upon a haples human race with equally inexplicibly bright coloured cardboard cut-out super-soldiers who can practically leap another human being in a single bound, whilst firing from the hip and hitting a gnat's tit from a mile away realistic, then yes it's the most realistic thing in the world.

No. I feel that if a game's story cannot hold its' own, it doesn't deserve any kind of second media expansion. Halo: Combat Evolved was one of the most influential sci-fi shooters created. But the story for me was unforgivably shit.

Just look at a few links from the Halo Universe section. It has some huge back stories.
