| Halo 2 vs. Half Life 2 (An example of how not to review) | | Posted on Tuesday, January 25 @ 15:33:05 EST by Suislide | delta_john The Cum L writes "NOW! I definetly have something to say about the review made by Fuhrer....Which turned into an article of my own....which I must say isn't that bad for my first on this site.
NOW! I definetly hav something to say about the review made by Fuhrer....It is the most pathetic piece of garbage covered in Michael Jackson's cum that I have ever had the regret of reading. I mean, comon, listen to this fag...
"This game is a fucking piece of shit. Those bungie shitheads are fuckin retarded fagg0ts and look like mentally retarded jews. i havent even played halo2"
This guy made an article about all the specs of the game, and hasn't even played it?
What an idiot, This guy must really love Half Life 2, after all, it is a game chalk full of glitches, at times, I wont say it's graphics are crap, cuz there pretty good, but it does have a stupid multiplayer.
Im havn fun comparing Halo 2 to HL2, mabet ill go on...There are people that debate which games' graphics is better, Ultamitly, regardless of video card, It IS Halo 2's graphics that are better. as proof, it is a fact that HL2 has glitches and flaus in its graphics, not to diss it, but "IF" you have played the game then you would no that sometimes there are slight pauses and twinks that are results of design errors.
Now if you "HAVE" played the game, unlike most of the racist n00bs on this site, take a look at halo 2s graphics. What I am about to say isn't my opinion, its a fact, if you "HAVE" played the game then you would know, Halo 2s graphics are virtually flauless. Thats right you n00bs! Learn whats good and not for wonce. Im sick of these guys that play one game, worship it, and say anyother game is gay, or stuff like that. I happen to OWN a copy of Half Life 2 and Halo 2, and am a dedicated gamer. This post is starting to turn into an article, mabey ill post it as one latter, but for now...
Suislide: What are you a fucking idiot? Halo 2 has shit graphics compared to Half-Life 2 and it you can see the fucking models and textures appear on the screen and arent all there at once because the Xbox is a pure shit little weak machine. OH i guess you have to be a fucking dedicated gamer to have an opinion about a game you douche bag. Half-Life 2 doesnt have any glitches you fucking moron as they fixed almost all the bugs about 4 weeks ago you dumbass. Not to mention there was only problems for a small amount of people...Halo 2 has shit graphics when compared with half-life2 with its lame low-res textures and the bump mapping in Halo 2 looks like i wiped my ass on the keyboard.
As for sound, ehh, both games have their good and bads. HL2s radio's sound isn't that great. Halo 2s veacles could have had more detailed sound.
The story line for Halo2 is pretty good. The only thing bad that I can say about it is that it could have had something better than switching between master chief and the covenant elite.
Now I really have to say shit about HL2. This game's developers spent soo much time developing it, and making it better, right? As soon as I played it, I was amazed by the opening cinema. But then...No Crobar? wtf? no weapon to start with at all? This pissed me off, but I told myself that it could be a level where you dont fight at all, untill a guy hit me. MAN WAS I EVER PISSED WHEN I COULDNT FIGHT BACK! Aside from that, what was Valve thinking when they made half of the game a dam remake? I mean, I DID beat the game, but I thought there could be much more chapters than what there was. Im not complaining about the ending, it was fairly ok.
Suislide:Why are you so fucking stupid? OMG YOU DONT START OUT WITH A WEAPON! OH NOES THEY ARE TRYING TO MAKE IT CINEMATIC! What are you a 13 year old kid with ADD and doesn't have the attention span to let characters talk to build a story. No crowbar? What a fucking retard THATS THE FIRST FUCKING WEAPON YOU GET. Half the game a remake? GOD YOU ARE SO FUCKING STUPID. I should send Furher to your house so he beat your ass so you can realise how fucking retarded you are. Your parents should have aborted you. A remake of the first game? HOW? Its completley fucking different you asswipe... you are never in the same black mesa, the same shit never happens as in the first one, and its fucking YEARS upon YEARS later. Doom 3 is a remake not Half-Life 2 you fucking moron. The story in Halo2 is ass. OH LOOK THE COVENANT FOUND EARTH AND WANT TO DESTORY IT! Wow a fucking 5th graded in the special ed class could think of that while he is shitting his pants and smashing crayons in his face
The gameplay wasnt that bad in HL2, however I think Valve could have added more mutants. I may have beat the game on hard, but it could have been harder. Want to know another thing that pisses me off about half the people(n00bs) on this site? Its that they probably played the game on "easy" dificulty and then said "YEAY!" to their friends and told them they beat it on "hard". The multiplayer for this game doesnt have enough options, which isnt very good.
Halo 2 was pretty good when it comes to new things. It included battle damage, dual wielding, and no jump damage. As soon as I played it, I was amazed. I have absolutly nothing bad to say about Halo 2 in Campaign, But, Its multiplayer, omg!
Suislide: Wow, the more i read on, the more your stupidity surpasses itself. NEW THINGS LIKE DUAL WEILDING? Thats not fucking new at all... Infact fucking dual weild is one of the oldest fucking things ever. Goldeneye had it, mods for Quake 2 had it.. hell a game Bungie themselves made a game with dual weild back in 1994. THERES NOTHING INNOVATIVE OR NEW ABOUT IT. Omg NO falling damage? WOW GREAT INNOVATIONS.. that deserve a fucking standing ovation for that design choice. Why dont you mention the gravity gun from Half-Life 2 you fucking cum sucker? OH BECAUSE ITS THE MOST INNOVATIVE WEAPON THAT HAS COME OUT IN A LONG TIME! Hell that might make halo2 look bad! Oh why dont you mention how much the physics suck ass in Halo 2? And how much superior they are in Half-Life 2?
All in all, both games multiplayer have serious problems, which bring both of their ratings down.
What that guy said about the cinema (videos) in Halo 2 is disgraceful to GOD himself!
Actually Good and Well Thought Out rattings....
Halo 2......................9/10
Half Life 2..............8.5/10
I would have rated HL2 the same as Halo 2 if it wasn't so much of a remake of the first Half Life.
Both games could have scored perfect 10/10 if not for what I have pointed out. Having Beat Half Life 2 on "Hard" dificulty and Halo 2 on "Heroic" dificulty I strongly believe what I have pointed out in the above is bery factual. And put worse than "Fuhrer" has in his article, which can be found at ...because he might actually have some intelligence
http://www.videogamessuck.com/review132.html
Suislide: This article is complete proof that some people have the intelligence of rotting dog shit. Anyone who says Half-Life 2 is a remake of the first game is a complete fucking idiot...considering its nearly 100% different. This is a perfect example of what crap i dont want you to submit. THE REVIEWS FO R THESE GAMES ARE ALREADY UP! Don't send in another fucking review of the same game espically if you are retarded."

What HL2 multi-player are you referring too? the real HL2 MP wich was essentially a surprise (CS:S was supposed to be the only MP) or Counter Strike source.
You also fail to mention for the price of Halo 2 alone you can purchase a version of HL2 online that will get you all of valves older MP games including Day Of Defeat Source (an upcoming world war 2 mod for the source engine) when its done. |

Yea -- that's not the story... and anyone who's actually played the game and paid attention to the storyline can tell you that.
(Storyline's about Prophet of Regret coming to Earth in search of something -- best guess the ark -- not expecting the Humans would put up as much of a fight as he did. As a result the covenant backlashed and Regret was stuck trying to regain his public status. This was all cut short, however, when Mastercheif killed him -- and the Brutes used this as a testicle-grip on the Elites stating that the Elites can no longer protect the Covenant and that the Brutes should be the Prophet's right-hand-men. They then let you pop a shotgun shell or two in Tartarus to balance the universe out -- Fyi -- so anyone who says that its just MC protecting Earth is wrong... or just decides a game is crap because -- guess what -- so many people like it and they feel gratification in "standing out"...

Were you dropped on your head, or are you always this stupid? As for physics, Hl2 MADE THEIR OWN ENGINE. They came out with something totally new.

I gave up on Half Life 2 just because I wasn't having fun. Also with the exception of the gravity gun and rocket launcher Half Life 2's weapons blow.

As for the graphics, cough, ok the PC can't be beat when it comes to HL2. If you have good parts in the computer then it should look awesome. Halo 2 on the other hand is just semi ok. it can't be changed. I feel that the worst part of Halo2 are the cut scenes. The models start, but then the textures come up a few seconds later while you are watching it. AWESOME. And o man what can i say about the fabled "DUEL WIELD." cough cough GOLDENEYE cough cough. Wow, I just can't believe people still argue about it... so sad. Lastly i have to say that the kick on those stupid ass mini machine guns was about as cool as getting herpes of the eyes. Totally gay.

You're dumber than the kid who wrote the review. First of all the assult rifle was always weaker than the pistol. Bungie just reversed them in halo 2 by changing the models. Also the zoom function is just a helpful tool to help you scout out areas. Of course you're just a noob who likes to run in with guns blazing only to end up dead.Also the pistols are still damn good up close while dual wielded. Especially if you use them with the plasma pistol.
""DUEL WIELD." cough cough GOLDENEYE cough cough."
Goldeneye didn't invent dual wielding either. I'm sure some 80 arcade games had dual guns. Also goldeneye did a pretty shit job of it because you could only have 2 of the same gun.
"Lastly i have to say that the kick on those stupid ass mini machine guns was about as cool as getting herpes of the eyes."
So you had your eyes covered in stds while playing halo 2? That explains your stupidity.
"If Jesus were here, he would nail Bungie to the cross then spit on them."

Just because it seems like fun. These are just my opinions on the two games and not stated fact. You don't have to agree, or even read it if you're too tired of this whole debate.
But, here's what I have to say...
First, for the graphics. I think that Half Life 2 has better human and character models, while I believe Halo 2 has the better environmental models. I say this because Valve obviously spent an obscene amount of time on the characters in their game (especially their amazing faces). But the environment did suffer from lack of attention. I was disappointed with the lack of complexity in buildings and in some areas, the environment just sucked me right out of the game. It bothered me that the newspaper, flat cardboard boxes and various other flat junk were just flat textures on the floor. It might not bother anyone else but, I think in a game where interactivity with the environment is a highly touted feature, garbage that looks like it was painted on the ground hurts the immersion. Even Grand Theft Auto: Vice City hand litter on the ground that reacted to the wind whipped up by cars. I also noticed problems when you got up close to buildings, it showed that they were flat textured and had very low geometry. This does not make the game bad by any stretch of the imagination. It has positives and negatives, just like Halo 2.
Now, the I'll give my opinion on the graphics of Halo 2. Where I believe Half Life 2 faltered I think Halo 2 excelled, and that would be in the environment. While the environment in Half Life 2 felt flat in many places, in Halo 2 it felt like you could go up to a wall and just feel the texture you could see the small touches in the buildings and it felt like you could reach out and touch them. In Half Life 2 the textures felt painted on and flat. I found the environment in Halo 2 more immersive. However Halo 2 just can't compete with Half Life 2 when it comes to the character models. Valve put a lot of love and attention into those and it shows. The character models in Halo 2 while still looking good seem to plastic. They don't convey the same emotion as they do in Half Life 2. Whereas the characters in Half Life 2 look like real people, the ones in Halo 2 look more like action figures.
Moving on to the story.
I see too many parallels to the stories of Half Life 2 and Halo 2 that it baffles me as to why people make digs at one games story when a lot of the time, the same flaws are in the story of the other game. I'll take the main concept of both stories that people seem to love berating. Most people love to attack Halo 2s story as "retarded" because it's about aliens invading earth. Well, so is Half Life 2s story. One happens to take place during the invasion and the other takes place after. In both you are fighting alien invaders for the fate of humanity. Of course it's unoriginal, it's been used since there has been writing.
Both stories have some strange ideas. Half Life 2 even pokes fun at it's own premise of a lone scientist with no combat training whatsoever laying waste to scores of highly trained and motivated military personnel (The classic "Little guy takes on big guy and wins" scenario) and the fact that Gordon is highly educated yet never uses his intellect for anything more than throwing switches. Halo 2 plays the main protagonist as the cliche "Tough Guy" with all the one liners you would expect. It can get downright cheesy at times. But it fits for the action movie type setting of the game.
Personality wise, I would have to go with the Master Chief, even though it is a pretty cliche personality
. My main reasoning for this is that Gordon Freeman doesn't seem to have any personality to speak of. Though, that can be attributed to Valve wanting the player to be feel that he is Gordon Freeman, so his personality is whatever you choose to make of it.
In the end, both games had great stories. It all depends on what you're looking for

Where in the world do you see better environment in Halo 2? (find me a better screen if I picked a bad one)
Until that faithful trailer of HL2 in 2003, I've never seen a game with the (closely) right sun luminosity. Everything else (Far Cry for example) was too shiny, plastic or too dark, without that yellowish sun glow. Neither game has got dynamic lighting which is good since that turns out unrealistic with pitch black spots (ever heard of light reflection, ID soft?) until some game shows everyone how it's done (Stalker, hopefully). I noticed the irk that is flat paper textures on the floor, but it's performance optimization thanks to which HL2's requirements are so low. I'd much rather see flat paper textures on the floor and run at 60FPS rather than see every particle of a grafitti on the wall with 2FPS. Although I certainly wish Valve spent more time making extra items for housing, I'm quite satisfied with what we've got (you could say it gives a feeling of low-living standards in City 17).
The issue entitled "Valve made their own physics engine" doesn't go as far as saying that Valve made it from scratch, but assuming Valve modified Havok 3 (3 according to some article I read) to their liking, although it has flaws. And beyond that, remember games that barely used the Havok license at all like Far Cry which rarely had any physics-based environment to manipulate. Half-Life 2 had the richest manipulatable environment yet. Past first-person shooters only allowed you to pick up(or move) what's useful (XIII) and even games that allowed you to move useless stuff were limited (Devastation).
Gameplay wise, I didn't like Halo due to it's hack n' slash nature under the cover of an "engaging" storyline. If I'll want hack n' slash, I'll go play Painkiller, a work of HnS art where the storyline is a secondary thing. Now, as far as opinions and reviews go, Halo 2 is Halo with new graphics, storyline, but gameplay modified merely with car-jacking, dual-wield and a power-sword (or whatever it's called). I've also heard Halo 2 called inferior in gameplay compared to Halo, but I'll stick with the minimal change theory. Half-Life 2 is more engaging that just hack n' slash due to moments where (avaragely, but never the less) you have to think. Compared to Half-Life 1, less thought as practicly everything can be taken down with brute force (of one sort or another) where HL had it's bosses with special ways to kill them (electrocuting the gargantua using the tram rail :) ). Half-Life 2 is more of a tour of what the world became and a quick way to change it from that to hopefully better with the few puzzles holding you back. In all honesty, I've never finished Halo, I stopped somewhere near the end (when the enemies were pouring in like the undead army in Dominions 2), but I've had enough.
I consider Half-Life 2 a worthy sequel (since it's practicly impossible to make a sequel as great as the prequel impression-wise) with all the changes it needs. Halo was somewhere between avarage and good for me and seeing as Halo 2 simply attempts to go with what works, same rating goes there. If anyone considers this invalid, please, direct me to a professional (magazine preferably) review that states Halo 2 is a giant leap from Halo 1.
One last issue is modability. Half-Life 2 is scripted as heck, but using the engine you could make a completely unscripted game (if you're an AI programming genius). CSS is a sample of what can be done. Halo 2 on the other hand is an X-Box game and while it might be modable in some aspects (which I don't know), it won't be as open as HL2 unless it's ported to the PC.
So far, I've liked your reply to this article the most, OpinionsRule. Civilized, objective and grammaticly correct :). I might be more or less subjective since I'm rating a game by it's reviews and it's prequel (but with logical reas

Re: Halo 2 vs. Half Life 2 (An example of how not to review) (Score: 0) by Anonymous on Saturday, March 05 @ 23:38:47 EST | Yay, someone with common sense in this world, who doesn't have to incorporate "fuck" and "dog shit" into every sentence. Halo 2 and Half Life 2 are very different. why, they are on different platforms, the PC and the Xbox. graphics wise, Half Life 2 will beat Halo 2, but Halo 2 completes its purpose and gives some of the best graphics available for the xbox or any other console. Plus don't forget that the xbox can be aquired for a third of the price of a high scale video card, but in the end the graphics are basically the same.
Plus, we don't have to worry about graphical problems and all the other sort of junk associated with computer games. The stories are both quite innovative and interesting and in fact you are wrong about the "aliens invading earth and destroying it" idea. One of the covenant leaders decides to invade earth thinking no one will be there, and then he retreats. Little action even takes place at earth, and the aliens have no interest in glassing it(read the books). In the end, we learn that earth is the center to control several different Halos with the capacity to destroy the universe, or at least the sentient beings there. I do believe that is original.
As for halo 2's duel wielding, you can finally use different triggers for each gun. Did goldeneye do that? no they only had one trigger. half life 2 has no duel trigger action.
No one seems to be talking about the gameplay of these games either. Halo 2 is an !nsane game in that the action is more intense, and much more fast paced. There also seems to be more emphasis in shooting. Half life 2, as its a computer game has slower action, but more based on using the environment. For instance, the zombies are slow, you have all the time in the world to set a big trap with your gravity gun and a grenade. This still is fun. I'm just saying that there are different modes of play in each game and to compare them is an injustice and based on a gamer's preferences.
As for the characters, I seriously don't understand why they have gordon Fremans face of the cover. I've played through about half of the game and never have i seen his face. HL2 has no cinematics where it shows you. This really seems to make Gordon a ghost character and you can have no feeling for him. However, Master Chief is so much more fun. He appears in many cinematics which are completely kick ass and people can relate to him or feel more for him. He is such a powerful character, with his insane looking armor, recharging shield, and powerful voice. Gordon never talks. Plus, in the end we are rooting for Master chief because he goes in alone against an entire covenant armada and is there to save Earth. It may be overrated, but it is much more user friendly. Plus, someone was commenting on how the Arbiter gets to play and thats wrong. Well, getting to play as another character is extroidanairly exciting. It lets you see the enemy that the other main character is fighting, and you can thus understand both sides and see how they are driven. IN HL2, it doesn't address the Combine quite so much and how Gordon relates to them is a mystery.
And for anyone who bashes the Halo 2 multiplayer all i can say is WOW. Halo 1 was one of the most popular games. People would spend entire weekends with 15 other people to play in system link games. Halo 2 brings that amazing experience to the internet and allows games to be played easily. It incorporates a buddy list, microphone talking that doesn't sound like someone in a huge cave as it is in CS:S. Plus, matchmaking and the level/rank system is ingenious. People are driven to play to get their rank up among a million others unlike CS:S. Matchmaking lets a party of people play with others randomly of the same skill level and clans are great. Is getting a clan together in CS nearly impossible? then playing clan matches are tough too. In fact, there are almost no games that incorporate clans so well. Plus, in the end the clan doesn't get rank, it can mearly be list

I dropped 10 grenades hoping to blow a combine guards body to pieces but nothing happened sigh :/ ) Y not mature all the way and give the gamers what we want?///////////// Things I do like about Half-Life 2 : The Graphics! I'm running at 1600x1200 on 2xAnti-alaising and 16xAnistrophic Filtering and some scenes in Half-life 2 looks insanely realistic. People complain HL2 has bad graphics because they have shitty ass video cards well for graphic sakes get a job and get some better graphic cards, christ a 300dollar ATI X800XL (can be found at ebay or other online stores for $250-280) can run HL2 at very high resolution and good Anistrophic filtering settings. The sound in HL2 is pretty cool but the grenade explosions sound REALISTIC but not POWERFUL like in HL1. This is very dissapointing when I'm using explosives (RPG, AR grenades, norm grenades) in CS:Source and HL2. As for the comparing to HL2 and Halo2 part I have no comment because I don't own XBOX but I do have Halo for PC which is a pretty nice game. Pistoling noobs 3 times in their heads who are running at you firing their assault rifle non-stop and they spin and fall down is fun as hell it gets even more fun when they complain that your cheating. |

Gameplay: 8.5/10 using the gravity gun is fun but it has a some negatives example: when I'm holding a big barrel of explosive or just a plain big metal object of somesort I can't see what's in front of me to aim at and there is a big chance I can throw the explosive barrel at a near by enemy that i can't see and injuring myself as well. And there is little weapons to choose from. Multiplayer is good but Valve did a real bad job on anti-hack in CS:Source most so called SECURED or VAC servers has hackers who uses aimbot, wallhack, speedhack that can clean out the other team in just a matter of seconds after they spawn which is mainly valves fault cause they rushed the production and did a lame job on the multiplayer security. VALUE: 10/10 this game will last you so long, there is like so much cool mods coming out for HL2 and tones of new multiplayer maps/mods for CS:Source. |

The fact is, none of you really know what you're doing.
You pick on the poor guys spelling, in mocking it, Suislide makes spelling mistakes to?
"espically" " WEILDING"
Just to pick two that jumped out at me.
How about punctuation and grammer? Two things which you don't seem to understand in any way...
Lets not even go into your rather poor understanding of gaming, suprising as a chief (apparently) reviewer of a Games website.
The use of the Dual-Wielding (thats how its spelt by the way) is by no means an entirely new idea and I won't pretend to know much about Quake, but it is totally different to the way anybody has really ever used it before, it's usually just a pre-set series of dual-similar guns. Meh, i'm not too fussed.
Half-Life 2 is clearly a superior game, but Halo2 has its place on the Xbox. You point out the rendering problems? Keep your Xbox and it's Laser in tip-top shape and you wont have that problem, simple, 95% of the Xbox's rendering problems can be sourced back to a damaged laser from poor care.
The Visuals were pretty damned crisp on Xbox for Halo2, I don't quite know where you get the nerve from saying otherwise, but then again I don't expect you to see past your pre-arranged opinions.
Oh and Physics in HALO 2? What Physics, its got the base standard requirements, I fail to see the need for any more? It was more fun than serious in comparison to Half-Life 2.
However, "The multiplayer for this game doesnt have enough options" in reference to Half Life 2.
Simply for that, that fool needs to be removed for the Genepool. I say having come fresh from a bout of CS:S + HL:DM. What a fool....
Although bless the poor kids heart for trying, it is a pretty awful review, what's even less impressive is the fact that in trying to 'Review' his Review you ended up veering off course with your absurd and over the top imagery.
Whos impressed? *Notes the lack of Hands*
