I've played both and apart from the face huggers none come to mind, and eve that is basically a ripoff of Alien.

An Elite, Hunter, Brute, Jackal, or Grunt is easily recognizable and you know exactly what game it's from.
and how boring they are

you're like 19 or something and you're this senile
They don't have any distinguishing features or really anything that makes them stand out from any other game. It's funny, now that I think about it Half Life is honestly one of the worst games I've ever played.
i don't care about your shit taste, why do you feel the need to let me know about it

i'm talking about both shithead
Hurrrhejsje the pwasma wifle is genewic but da pistol is so COOL

They're the same gun almost design wise and the onky difference is you can charge the pistol so it isn't just a shittier version of the rifle. Come on man think a little.

Quote
doesn't matter, can't use it myself
I suggest buying Halo 2 and 3.

Quote
i don't care

my issue is that halo's guns are both generic and boring to use

you can be generic all you want as long as you're still fun, and that's what saves a lot of HL2's weapons
They're neither generic nor boring. Halo is popular because it's an extremely fun game.

"i have not played borderlands"

if you expected the game to actually have a million unique guns, you're a retard

i mean you're a retard anyway, but you know

having many variations of the same gun is good for personalization and is exciting, because there's a gun out there that's just for you
I mean you'd have to be retarded to enjoy borderlands. I don't play dress up so I don't give a fuck what the weapon looks like lmao. The game was hyped as having tons of weapons, and it's just reskins. Plenty of people complained about this. I could play 1 or 2 for longer than like 10 hours before uninstalling.

Quote
the fact that if you're going to play the game just once, you probably wouldn't pick legendary
I mean if you could read above preschool level you'd know that normal means normal and if you wanted a challenge Heroic is before Legendary so you'd probably pick Heroic. But hey, if you're illiterate you're illiterate.

You just described Half Life enemies.

i can't think of any way to describe halo's enemies other than "big dumb alien monster"

half-life's enemies are iconic

this is a bad thing
>powerful guns are boring

Quote
it's a generic machine gun

every FPS game has one

the only thing is that it has a goofy little display showing how many rounds you have left, which is just stupid
Again, no other game had the same design or noises the Halo AR has. Knowing how much ammo you have left isn't stupid lmao, if anything it's exactly what futuristic weapons would have.

Quote
extremely

the only interesting thing about it is the night vision, which isn't even possible in MP
Show me examples of mother games where the sniper looks exactly the same and sounds the same. You can't. If anything the night vision is something that other snipers have in other games.

Quote
so you agree with me that it's generic, thanks
I think if you learn to read you'll see where I said it isn't generic while not becoming too cartoonish.

Quote
nope, it's generic in general

the only thing that isn't generic is the plasma mechanic itself, which isn't really saying much
There's nothing generic about it. Most movies games have this bulky black thins that shoots red lasers, this shoots balls of bright blue plasma with a believably alien design. It's the furthest thing from generic. In fact it's so original to Halo I have yet to see anything like it in other games or movies because they could probably be taken to court over using Bungie's design. That's how original it is.

Quote
nope you can charge it up and it's satisfying to rapid fire it
Design =/= mechanics

Don't be intentionally stupid.

Quote
it's not, but you can't even fucking use the energy sword in halo 1, which is what we're talking about
It'sl still there, being wielded by an actual alien looking alien with pretty good AI for an old game.

Quote
it's fun to use and has a satisfying reload animation
It is fun to use. A revolver is fun to use in Rainbow Six Vegas, too, but that doesn't make it any less generic.

Quote
more than can be said about any of halo 1's weapons
Your opinions aren't even your opinions, you're just trying to bring Halo down and be contrarian. I've known people that don't really enjoy Halo, but literally none of them can say it's a generic uninspired game unless they're trying to be a contrarian such as yourself.

Quote
it fires red-hot metal rods

that's fucking sick
That's fucking generic.

Quote
originality can be sacrificed as long as the weapon is fun to use

none of halo's are
Again, even you don't believe this. It's not really a matter of opinion. Halo objectively has better gunplay than Half Life. The weapons are far more interesting and fun to use and they're not generic real life weapons.

Quote
i just did

the laser isn't being used as the weapon itself, it's being used to control a rocket

it's the tactile sensation of guiding a missile that feels real and fun

halo lacks this in pretty much all of the games, even when they added guided rockets, it's not nearly as satisfying
I know what laser guided is lmao. Again, being a contrarian. Guiding a missile is not more or less fun, it's a mechanic that allows you to kill easier. Honestly I preferred it where you couldn't lock onto Banshees etc.

That means there aren't 8 billion guns or whatever it was they used to say to hype the game up. It's the same guns, boring guns with nothing special.

i can't think of anything else

half-life 2 has all sorts of shit
Every enemy in Half Life is either a human, or a very basic type monster/alien. It's something you've seen before, that's why Half Life never catches my interest.

"how should i play games then"
Maybe you should stop asking people like a robot and just play the game on whatever difficulty you're comfortable with and if you're the type of person that enjoys a challenge play the harder difficulties.

The artist's vision is whatever difficulty they developed for the game. Bungie made all those difficulties because people are different. Some people suck at games but still have fun on easy, other people play a lot of games and enjoy the challenge of legendary.

Also normal is obviously the default difficulty lol... it's called normal for a reason

halo 1 has no weapons

generic pistol
LOL

Halo has totally new weapons which are obviously influenced from other games and even movies, but for the most part are original and very fun to use. There's nothing like the Pistol in other games. It has a scope and is so powerful you almost don't need any other weapon. A generic handgun would be useless in Halo lmao. What are you even talking about.

Quote
generic machine gun
Really? I haven't seen the Assault Rifle type of design in any other game.

Quote
generic sniper
That design and sound is "generic" to you?

Quote
generic rocket launcher
Again totally original and cool design. It's a rocket launcher, it can only be so different without becoming wacky and overly cartoonish.

Quote
generic plasma rifle (which is literally just called a fucking plasma rifle)
>it's called a plasma rifle so it's generic

BRAINLET DETECTED

Quote
cool plasma pistol that's actually my second favorite, i like how they designed this one
It's practically the same design as the plasma rifle, you're just trying to nitpick at this point. The design for the covenant weapons are very cool and actually look alien.

Quote
needler which is kinda creative but really shitty and not that fun to use
The Needler is very creative, and it's excellent. If you use it right you can destroy mobs of enemies.

Quote
so not only are there only eight weapons, not counting grenades, only two or three of them are cool
In your shitty opinion.

Quote
half-life 2 has the cool crowbar
>thinking a crowbar is cooler than the energy sword in Halo

Quote
the cool magnum
>literally a real life revolver

WOAH NEVER SEEN THIS BEFORE

Quote
the bugbait which is fucking awesome
Sure.

Quote
the crossbow which is fucking awesome
Again, crossbows exist. There's no creativity here.

Quote
the MP7 which is kinda generic, but it looks cool and has a grenade launcher
Again, no originality.

Quote
the RPG which is cooler than halo's because it's fucking laser-guided
You can't say you think lasers make things cooler and then say you don't think Halo has cool weapons.

Quote
the spas-12 which is awesome (but i'm biased because i like shotguns)
Again, an actual gun that already exists. No design and originality went into this, and it's not like Half Life 2 is ARMA which is trying to be realistic.

Quote
a pretty generic 9mm but it's more satisfying to use than halo's
>a boring 9mm is more satisfying than Halo's pistol

πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

Quote
and then of course the gravity gun
The only thing that actually stands out when people talk about Half Life.

Quote
and the primary selling point of borderlands is that it has millions of cool weapons
Borderlands is literally the same 10 or so guns reskinned millions of times. Very boring gunplay. Enemies either rush you or there's the occasional sniper. They don't take cover or organize to try and kill you.

Quote
because the word "normal" is there, and that's usually a safe bet

if they called normal "medium" or something, i might have considered legendary

but then i probably wouldn't have beaten the game as fast
You realize they designed Legendary, right? They spent hours of their lives to design Legendary difficulty. They want people to play it. If you're this autistic that you're only going play ONE difficulty because of some trivial description most people don't even read, then lol.

half-life 2 is the same kind of game, but it's way fucking better and my favorite shooter

borderlands is a different kind of game, but i also love that one quite a lot
I found both of these games extremely bland. Halo is so much more colorful with fun weapons and enemies.

Quote
it's not that i dislike shooters, i just dislike playing games outside of their intentions
Why do you think Bungie didn't intend for you to play it on Legendary?

Quote
it's why i don't mod, it's why i don't even change controls or camera preferences
There's nothing wrong with mods. Great games have come from mods of other games.

Changing controls and sensitivity is there so the game is more comfortable for you to play...

Quote
nothing about the game is mine unless it's made abundantly clear otherwise

oops, guessed wrong, ruined the whole game for myself

oh well!
hahaha how?
because maybe (part of) the reason i thought halo 1 sucked ass is because i thought it was too boring/easy

maybe i would've enjoyed it more if i actually knew to play on heroic instead of normal

but i didn't, and i'm not gonna replay a game i didn't enjoy on a harder difficulty just to see if i like it more

that would be a waste of time
I doubt it, the game is fun even on easy. It's a great game. If it's not your bag whatever I guess you don't like shooters. You're spazzing out over trivial things.

Eh that's just because I'm better than you, don't worry about it.
uh no i'm better than you actually thanks

do you not see how bungie phrasing it that wayβ€”"this is how Halo was MEANT to be played"β€”gives the player a sense of feeling "left out" if they decided to play on something else?

like oh i guess i'm not getting the true experience now because i reasonably assumed that normal was the way to go
I think it's pretty obvious how much better I am than everyone here. Hehehe, imbecile.

Why? All the difficulties are viable and are part of the developers artistic vision.

tell that to bungie

they should've called heroic normal, and normal easy

because that's what i wound up playing on, and i hate that
Easy is there for kids or something who knows. But I don't agree, all the difficulties feel right. It also doesn't make sense that you respect the developers vision above all but now you're saying this should be that etc.

It's just another tactic with the aim of weakening movements. Minorities are just that, minorities, in a democracy they need allies in the majority to make a difference. So what you do when you want to obstruct the goals of minorities is you find ways to separate them from their majority allies. Usually the easier way to do this is to target the majority supporters and put them in a situation where it's harder to be an activist than it is to remain a complacent non-participant.

So you accuse those who stand up and be activists of doing so out of bad faith (accuse them of being a white-knight, virtue signaller) and/or you try to convince them that by standing up and being an activist they are in fact hurting minorities.

It's entirely possible for an ally to do either of those things, and those things happening can be a legitimate problem for activist movements and minorities, but where some people try to solve the issue and produce better allies, others wish to silence allies and stop the movement as a whole.
allies and enemies lmao oh man what happened to America
I never said enemy.
You didn't need to.
Do you think all reality works in binaries?
Why do you need allies if you don't have enemies?
Because we live in a democracy where things don't get done if the majority is completely indifferent???
You're not wrong, but it's just the way you go about discussing it that rubs me the wrong way. Everything is right and left, there's no people just discussing an issue. You're either this or that.

But this isn't what this thread is really about. This is about people getting offended for other people. It's dumb and useless.
i never said right or left either
Again, you didn't have to. Don't play coy with me.
if you assume that allyship is a left/right divide then you clearly don't have much experience with people on the left lmao
You keep making these ridiculous statements and acting incredulous, but you know I'm right. None of the modern day leftists want anything to do with the right, and it's the same with the right's attitude toward the left. You've all lost your minds.
My post was completely empty of partisanship and you're literally trying to turn it into "everyone's an extremist except me" centrist smuggery. You're the nutter, dude.
I'm not a centrist at all on most issues, the problem here is the left is chock full of people such as yourself who consider it their duty to get offended for "minorities". Your pretentious holier than thou attitude is unfortunately not a unique trait, many leftists share it and it's actually a pretty big reason that trump won.

It's entirely possible for an ally to do either of those things, and those things happening can be a legitimate problem for activist movements and minorities, but where some people try to solve the issue and produce better allies, others wish to silence allies and stop the movement as a whole.
allies and enemies lmao oh man what happened to America
I never said enemy.
You didn't need to.
Do you think all reality works in binaries?
Why do you need allies if you don't have enemies?
Because we live in a democracy where things don't get done if the majority is completely indifferent???
You're not wrong, but it's just the way you go about discussing it that rubs me the wrong way. Everything is right and left, there's no people just discussing an issue. You're either this or that.

But this isn't what this thread is really about. This is about people getting offended for other people. It's dumb and useless.
i never said right or left either
Again, you didn't have to. Don't play coy with me.
if you assume that allyship is a left/right divide then you clearly don't have much experience with people on the left lmao
You keep making these ridiculous statements and acting incredulous, but you know I'm right. None of the modern day leftists want anything to do with the right, and it's the same with the right's attitude toward the left. You've all lost your minds.

It's just another tactic with the aim of weakening movements. Minorities are just that, minorities, in a democracy they need allies in the majority to make a difference. So what you do when you want to obstruct the goals of minorities is you find ways to separate them from their majority allies. Usually the easier way to do this is to target the majority supporters and put them in a situation where it's harder to be an activist than it is to remain a complacent non-participant.
