Most know what Halo 3 and Crysis offer now vote & discuss Follow the sheep for halo 3 or PC users get Crysis
Crysis. Its new, refreshing, its been in process of being made for a long time, its going to be high end graphics, its not made by a company hellbent on getting every little penny out of your average Joe, and its the first in a series. Halo was decent, Halo 2s single player is quite possibly the worst FPS ever made, and it stole its storyline from Halo 1 but added some new monsters and settings with better graphics. Halo 3 just seems like its going to be a pumped up graphics multiple fps game like Halo 2 was, the storyline may be different, but its just going to be the same ol' boring Halo shit.
*JUST STARES IN DISBELIEF* holy .. wow that is some sweet comparisons havent seen them before - some images from crysis seriously look real
Well your right. But considering Halo 2 was the most played game online, its hard to believe Crysis can live up this. And even better Halo 3 also has alot of more features for online users. Which will make it even harder.
I play games for single player on the console, as most people do, if you think Halo 2's single player mode was any better than Halo 1's you have a servere mental handicap. The ONLY thing worth while in Halo 2 was the online functions, and even then, for the first year or so it was glitchy. And it was most played on the Xbox, not most played in general, because online gaming is more computer than console oriented. Crysis will use DX10 rendering methods, assuming they are using what they were when I first mentioned, and it will likely be the first game IN THE WORLD to implement the need for full DX10 on a graphics card to get the most optimal settings. Its a NEW storyline, from what I have seen its a VERY rich world (as in the textures, colors, etc.) and it will be like F.E.A.R. was for DX9, but on DX10, and without the shitty horror. Complete interactive environments, you walk up to a can on the ground and you kick it, you hear your foot steps, hear those around you, hear your shirt brushing up against your wall, etc. As I said, games that are first in the lineup are almost always better than series for the sole reason that series traditionally are forced to use the smae boring characteristics of the prior games. The only exception I know of to this is Final Fantasy, with 12, soon to be 13 games out all of which (even the shitty ones) are HUGE successes in the world, namely, imo, because each game is brand new (with the exception of 10 and 10-2). As for the Halo fanboys regarding myself saying 'Halo 2 was quite possibly the WORST fps game ever' show me a game thats worse, because imo, halo 2 brought NOTHING to single player functions, and halo was only good because it was refreshing to the genre.
Now, I'm NOT saying you're wrong, its just that we're only really talking about Crysis vs. Halo 3, not any of the other halos. The other halo's impact on you shouldn't have helped in your decision, it should be solely based on Halo 3 facts. I voted for Halo 3, I'm no fanboy or whatever, I don't even like the online multiplayer. I bought it for the single player campaign storyline, which is amazing IMO. I also like the graphics of course, and how Bungie changed so many things from the other halos and improved upon them.
I have a high end computer and no 360 so crysis wins.... I do enjoy playing halo 2 with my friends and halo 3's multi-player looks great but it's kind of the same with a few fixes/upgrades
