You're right. You don't have to back up anything you say.
You still should however, to avoid sounding like a douche.
I also love how you can pull numbers out of your ass.
Here´s my opinion:
Halo's arsenal, consisting of an assault rifle, a shotgun, a sniper rifle, a pistol and a rocket launcher. Boy.....that's never been done before....
Halo's story, aliens have invaded Earth. I must admit, the semi-twist with the Flood and Halo did pull me in, so i'll give credit where it is due.
Multiplayer, just make an UT server and shut off the alternate fire and you've got Halo's multiplayer.
But, since we're making shit up and acting like total douche anyway:
DooM is the best FPS game ever, it did everything better then Halo or Half-Life. The weapons were better, and the story was better then anything else.
And a millionbillion people agree with me.
I don't have to look at a chart or sales figures to tell me Halo's fanbase is MUCH, MUCH larger then Half-Life's, common sense tells me that. Common sense would also tell me that there are indeed millions of more people who like Halo then those who like Half-Life, PROBABLY double or triple the amount of people. Is that saying antyhing bad about Half-Life? No, of course it doesn't. It just means that yes more people would agree with me then would agree with you. And I said that because you say I have "shit" taste. Well then I guess all those people do to. But of course you'll say "yes they all have shit taste" because your right and I'm wrong. (again we see the beauty of an opinion at work)
Now why would I waste my time describing the game and why I like it better then HL when it will achieve absolutely nothing. I certainly won't convince you. So I won't. If Halo sucks is your opinion thats fine and dandy I'm not going to attack you for having that opinion. I don't think and have never said "Halo is t3h b3st3st gAmeZ eVERZ!!!". I also never said anything bad about Half-Life. Both series' are great I simply like one over the other.
As far as sounding like a douche goes, oh well. Like I care what some random person over a videogame forum thinks of me. /cry
Again, where are you getting the numbers about both games fanbases?
You can go ahead and talk about common sense, but those are hollow words within such context.
I'm not saying that i am right, i'm not a professor but i'm well eductated enough to see the flaw in such reasoning.
You can go ahead and blurt out your opinion, but without any reasoning behind it, there is no sense in posting it in a forum, since the entire point of a forum is to discuss viewpoints, ideas etc.
You can either have a fair discussion, or just tell your opinion without any arguments.
If you're having a discussion about abortion or some shit, you can't just barge in, say your pro/anti, and leave again.
I'm not saying Halo(any of them) sucks, and they can be fun at times, but i am still trying to understand the logic of people who would rather prefer Halo over games such as HL.
Somehow i cannot see the brilliant level design, groundbreaking weaponry, marvelous storytelling that other people have somehow experienced in the Halo-series.
Should one come with valid arguments, then i will admit the flaws in my reasoning of my opinion, but so far, every single time i ask for such arguments, people come up with sale figures, fan base, bring up Halo 1 despite the fact that the discussion is about the third title, or start pulling random shit up.
Thát, is the reason why i hate the Halo-fanbase. Like i said, Halo gives the message to developers that we don't want innovation, style or even entirely new concepts. No, we want bland and monotenous shooters that play it completely safe.
And the exact opposite of Bungie appears to be Suda 51, and nobody doubts Suda!
