7 VII 7 Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 Halo is the only reason the rest of these FPS even are where they are. Yeah but that does not make it AWESOME that is like saying... The Model T is the only reason the rest of these Volvos even are where they are Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Young Burnsy Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 uhh? there were TONS of FPS games before Halo that had multiplayer. xbox and halo brought nothing new on that front. once again, HL:CS is the prime example Okay. HL & CS are great in their own respects sure. Halo took what Goldeneye pioneered and improved upon it. Besides the fact that Halo has vehicles. The cost to entry in the PC world is several times higher than it is in the console world. On top of that consoles have the added benefit of supporting four users per console. I know I chose to get into console gaming over PC gaming for specifically that reason. That is what Halo, Xbox and Xbox Live brought to the table. Cheaper and easier.

Boost3237 Posted September 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 Okay. HL & CS are great in their own respects sure. Halo took what Goldeneye pioneered and improved upon it.

On top of that consoles have the added benefit of supporting four users per console. I know I chose to get into console gaming over PC gaming for specifically that reason. That is what Halo, Xbox and Xbox Live brought to the table. Cheaper and easier. Halo did not improve upon goldeneye at all GAMEPLAY wise it is not revolutionary in that respect. Graphics were improved because of capability and graphics do not impact how a game plays but how it looks. Since multiplayer above 60 ppl had been around for a while it was not hard to bring to consoles... How about Delta Force 2? 50 player fps online... Xbox is internet capable and so therefore means it can use the same tech that had ALREADY been out. So just because the graphics were better and Xbox was able to LAN/WAN play does not mean it was halo that did it. So again HALO is a great game yes ! but it did not revolutionize anything accept console FPS controller schemes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
