they're all unbalanced

and it looks the best out of all the others

Verbatim · August 17, 2015, 12:18:33 PM

i don't even fucking like the game either

it's probably a 4/10, whereas halo 1 and 3 are 3/10

Halo 4 is fairly balanced now. Halo 5 is balanced.

Yeah H2A looks pretty good. H2 looks like complete ass.

you also left out "best maps"--do you deny that the halo 2 maps were great

How is it the best looking one? Textures are blurry smudges, and character models look like a melted G.I Joe.

Because I don't care about them because H2's MP is utter trash

Halo CE is a given, but how does Halo 3, a game from 2007, running on a more powerful console, look worse?
It just doesn't, objectively.

Oh, the muzzle flash.
You're exaggerating a bit.

you said halo 2 was smudgy--i'm watching gameplay of it right now, and... i don't know, it looks fine to me

whereas in halo 3, it gets so bright at times--what with all the bloom and because of the generally more vibrant color palette they used--that it's just unpleasant to look at

i don't care if it's "objectively" better because it uses more polygons
it's worse

It looks objectively better for more reasons than just polygons.
To say Halo 2 is the best looking one is a little silly, considering that it isn't, at all.

And I ain't exaggerating either.

Those textures are big smudges of green, brown and grey

of course the anniversary edition released a decade later is gonna look much better

even if halo 3's is demonstrably better, i don't think it's that big of an upgrade

besides--i couldn't really be fucked about graphics anyway
it's not exactly gonna be the deciding factor of which game i think is best in the series

I wasn't actually comparing it to H2A - it was just the first image I clicked on. My point was that H2 is just a big smear of dull colours.

And anyway, you said H2 is the best looking one. It evidently isn't, as shown above, which you also acknowledged.

I'm not saying you should let it be the deciding factor. That's just dumb.

Verbatim · August 17, 2015, 10:16:05 PM

you talk about how the game is broken--that's all well and good, but it's not like i or any of my friends ever really considered ourselves "competitive" halo players, at least to the point where we'd give a shit about such things

sometimes my friends would get pissed when i'd use the "noob combo" (plasma pistol + magnum), but i mean, it's not like i was such a dominant player that i'd completely destroy them with it--it didn't seem broken, so it wasn't broken

i also prefer to play as an elite, which is sort of a handicap

Girl of Mystery · August 17, 2015, 10:17:46 PM

The noob combo isn't one of the reasons it's broken.

Verbatim · August 17, 2015, 10:18:42 PM

and just because i can admit that it may not be the best looking game in the series, doesn't mean i still can't prefer it over everything else

which i do

fun

i mean, is that the sign of a QA'd game? I guess not, but I mean, again, you're not gonna be able to take away the simple fact that out of all the Halo games that I've spent playing casually with my friends, unbeknownst of these exploits, I had the most fun playing Halo 2.

Now, maybe if I delved back in--maybe if I actually played the campaign, too--I'd see Halo 2 for the piece of shit that it is. But for now, it's the best one I've played.

Girl of Mystery · August 17, 2015, 10:51:05 PM

The campaign is probably the best of the original trilogy.
It's the MP that's garbage.
