Bah, human weapons rule, I don't use this alien crap.

Now, really, I keep my Assault Rifle and Shotgun (AR and Pistol earlier in the game) for as long as I have ammo. Then I use them as clubs for a while. Then I consider picking up a plasma weapon.

And there's a version of Half Life for the X-Box, I think. Saw an advert for X-Box Counterstrike a while ago.

It's on PS2, a friend bought it, I tried it, I hated it ( if only for the fact you can't invert the mouse look). Nouhg said.

Okay, but you do realize that Half-Life isn't a "console FPS" though, right? It's a PC FPS, ported to a console.

the pc version will still be better then the console version of HL...

Your point being? I know that, I've completed the original before it was even out
I just say that I hate FPS on consoles ( I'll stress that, so you won't annoy me with term choices ) because of the pad but, for some reason, I have no problem handling Halo at all.

Halo is the only console FPS with controls as good as they are. The auto targetting is so subtle that you hardly even notice it.

Oh, I've played through quite a bit... So, Halo is also a victim of the "3rd species that comes and kicks the two previous antagonists asses." Ok, those floods are rather funny, with their squid look and their funky moves, but they are severe reap offs of... well, countless stuff . I sure hope the covenants and the humans won't team up against them ( by the look of the Halo2 trailer, I'm not worried, tho ). I'm a bit disapointed with the reason for the ring, I expected something more "mystical", to be honest. It's just your average super weapon...

***end of spoiler***

Bah, I still like the game, the seting is cool, the small, common covenant troopers are funny as hell, some trooper speaches are really funny. At some point, a dude said "hey, this guy looks like your sister", my friend and I were so much into the action, we were caught by surprise, we had to stop playing for a minute to wait for the laughers to stop
The weapon gestion ( two at a time ) is a bit frustrating, but I like it, more realistic that way, the vehicle handling isn't the best sadly ( renegade hit the spot on this particular point ). Some weapons are... strange ( I never use the pistol in solo, but in multi, it's almost my weapon of choice, odd. On the opposite, the needler gun can be useful in solo - altho I never use it anymore, to be honest, I prefer the plasma weapons-, but completly useless in multi, the homing thing makes it too easy to avoid, in a paradoxal way. Grenades are cool, I've never used them so much in a FPS before
My only real gripe with that game is repetition of the same rooms and corridors, dozens of times. I thought that would be mostly outdoor action, how mistaken I was. The little part in the jungle deserved to be much longer, and that corridor crap much shorter. I hope there will be other jungle levels.
On a last note,  the mecha design in halo rules, our powersuit, the dropship, the warthog, even those ring defense drones, they all look great.

heh... fun as it is, i found myself many a time without ammo, and facing a lot of flood.... so what do i do?... find the nearest one, and beat it to death with the butt of my rocket launcher for the shotgun it carries..

[Nico]

HARGH!

I hate that warthog part in the last mission, I keep falling before reaching the fighter, when you have to jump above those large voids. And when you fall, you have to start it all over again, of course

[Styxx]

Eh? I got it the first time around, and didn't really do all that well (fell off the thing several times, etc.). Just don't stop. Ever.

[Hippo]

the large gap you mean? just floor it, and make sure you go perfectly strait, and don't let off the gas...

[Nico]

coz you think I was slowing down? Well, kind off, when my warthog bumps against a wall between two floors
And it does that every time. Guess I have no luck ( well, that's nothing new to me, actually, having no luck ).

[Ashrak]

uhm maybe one of you guys can rip halo soundtrack

[Hippo]

if you line up in the center of the hallway just before it, you should be able to make it... the most common problem there is there, is rolling over in the middle... If you're hitting the little grey thing in the big gap, the part about half way down the fall, there's something wrong... that part shouldn't be possible to collide with... you are talking about the gap after FoeHammer dies right? I can think of one other place where you might be having that problem near the beginning...

Kazaa has the files on it... I think someone had made a playlist entitled HALO that listed all the soundtracks...

yeah, yeah, the huge hole thinguy ( seems there's two, actually ), after the dropship gets shot down and you have to reach the hangars to take some fighter. Why the hell didn't they put a checkpoint there, at the dropship pickup point? The race thinguy is fun once, but after the 3rd time, it gets boring, and loooooooooooong :/ ( btw, that's really some weird ship, that pillar of automn, having a rally track like that... )

[Hippo]

there is a checkpoint, on the left of the first pillar in the road after she dies, where the floor is weird and has 5-6 speedbump like things (opposite the little spot of flames)... the scary thing is, you landed in a bay at the beginning that was approximately midships. walked to the bridge, at the FRONT of the ship, then walked to the BACK of the ship for engineering, then up to the TOP of the ship, then along the top, supposedly to one end, (probably the front, since you got the Hog at the end) but then the longsword will be seen coming out the MIDDLE of the ship... not to mention, at the end, you see outside when you run for the fighter, but suddenly that strait shot out, has turned 90 degrees in the movie, since it comes out the side... and the POA is supposedly only 2.5 K long... which doesn't make sense because you drove 2K in approxmately a strait line, just to find yourself at the middle...

[Nico]

That's no checkpoint, just a loading point. Anyway, I finally made it
So, what is that small idiotic bluiesh droid gonna do all alone in the great void of space?

[SKYNET-011]

Simple. Come back to be as annoying as hell all over again.

Did you try to crawl over the chasm?
