Better of the two sci-fi shooters

Postby Logann » Jun 4th, '06, 10:41

I've fought with a lot of people on this.. Halo.. Or Metroid.

About 4 months ago I would have totally said Halo, but Hunters blew my mind.

Pro's and Con's

Halo
--Pros
●Great Multiplayer as well as single player
● Over rated as hell, so you know theres SOMEONE to play with. :shifty:
● A great arsenal of weapons to play with.
--Cons
○ Shits to big, and too slow, pretty damn annoying. >_>
○ Not much better than any other shooter, just way fuckign over-rated.
○ Only 2 of them..


Metroid
-- Pros
● Best graphics for the system.. On the gamecube version, and the DS counterpart.
● Nice and fast.
● More creative, with the alt forms and affinity weapons; They add a lot more to think about.
● More levels than halo ;)
● 7 diffrent hunters to choose from.
--Cons
○ Only Hunters was any good. I must admit, Prime 2 was pretty gay.
○ A limited arsenal... A total of 13 difrent weapons, iirc.
○ Unless you have WiFi, you ain't actually playing no one. :(


I think it's obvious where my vote lays, though I love them both. Before you just go lolz halo ftw! just b/c it's halo.. Check out just what the DS can actually do ;)

Quake 4 is the best fps I've played in a long, long time. I don't doubt, in fact I agree htat most of these games are better. I'm just comparing the styles of these two sci-fi shooters.

halo pc blows
but halo is a much better game than metroid i think, i dont know much about metriod but its halo. i agree with teh over ratted thing and i think halo 2 ruined ttha halo series cuz i like halo ce better but just tha fact that halo is xbox live abnd everone plays it its got the eedge over pretty much every game


--Cons
○ Shits to big, and too slow, pretty damn annoying. >_>

shits to big?
they have smaller maps
not much better than any other shooter?
actualyl it is it takes much more skill, sniper you can get headshot, pistol-TSK battlerifle-FBK and just all the stuff you can do in halo one like blwoing weopoons to yourself and 'nade bouncing yourself all over tha maps
only 2 of them?
3rd on way.... and it prolly wont meet our expectations and well flame bungie for it cuz people R dumb

I just mean like, I don't know everything on the map has such a bulky feeling to it. Like it's just huge and right in your face. And it's slow. I like the fast intense feeling better. I know halo can get very intense as well, I'm just saying.

I'm not going to kill you for your opinion or anything. xD
