    Halo was actually fun. Neither Crysis nor FEAR did anything for me. They are extremely, hair pullingly, and genital hatchetingly generic. When Halo came out for Xbox it was fun. Back in 2001 it didn't have much to stack up against. Now-a-days Crysis and FEAR and all the other shitty games have to stack up against each other and gamers have to just choose which one sucks their ass the least. COD 4, FEAR, Crysis, Bioshock, etc etc, all suck IMO. They have left me despising the gaming industry. Companies keep bombarding us with mediocrity and for the most part, gamers cannot see through the pretty graphics for what the games really are.

    I'm sorry but that's utter dogshit, Crysis, F.E.A.R., Bioshock etc are dull, shitty and generic but Halo isn't? I must have played a different version of Halo, the one I played was full of generic looking alien locations, populated with enemies that resembled something from Manta Force with guns that look like they were designed by the people who marketed the super soaker water cannons. Buildings look downright dull and the interiors all look the same, confusing mazes that offer next to no originality whatsoever. In comparison to the former titles, Halo is downright boring and about as fun as watching paint dry.I mean.. Mediocrity? Is there another game where you can pickup a Korean soldier and throw him into his squad mates before shooting down a tree that falls down in perfect realistic fashion killing said soldiers instantly when it falls to the ground? Is there another game where you can explore an underwater metropolis fighting off deep sea divers with drills and squeezing the life out of a little girl? Is there another game where you can kick someone in the face whilst you shoot them in the legs with handguns akimbo? Don't at least two of those descriptions excite you in anyway, don't you think that partaking in such actions would be fun?

    Opinions are like assholes, everyone has them but you know, some opinions are just downright dumb.

    Hah.

    ...makes me a little afraid of you

    Seriously though, I don't really see what the problem is here. There's a guy who prefers Halo, and a guy who prefers other FPS games, and they disagree. Granted, the first guy seems to be a Halo fanboy with no time for anything else, but hey, it's their loss.

    Personally I enjoyed them all.

    Sorry to say that, but, FEAR and Crysis are just as dull as Halo

    Yeah, if we're going to just have comments like "X is dull and shit" then the thread isn't staying open, and those who've done it can take this as a hint to not do that in future. Bear in mind that people who worked on the games you're freely slagging off visit MapCore.
