I can only assume you're somewhere between 11 and 15 to ask such a question my friend.

Excuse me, but I find that very stereotypical. Although in some (possibly many) cases this sort of assumption is correct, there are "fanboys" of all ages, and with me being within the said age group I am somewhat offended.

Having said that, I too find the games to not be similar enough to compare in this way.

Certainly not Medaforcer's finest hour!

I think his bump was necessary though, since he has a great point.

He does bring up a point, but he's basically asking Nightwing to come back and write a big spiel in response.

Personally, Halo because Metriod Prime 2's offline multiplayer is completely elementary compared to Halo's.

...Of course CGI scenes use 'real-models'. Jesus Christ, was I supposed to think they used sprites? Why are the graphics so damn beautiful during the cutscenes, yet look like a pimply ass when it comes to the in-game experience? Bungie didn't bring anything impressive into Halo 2. There were recycled textures throughout the whole game; and trust me, there's a reason there can only be a small amount of enemies on screen as once.

Do you know anything about game development?! Halo 2 was a FOURTH GENERATION console game. And it looked liked ****. Given the amount of resources, and tools, and proper standard training, I could make a working graphical engine that's on par with Halo 2's. Of course, then I would have to pull some story out of my ass, and have a multi-billion dollar ad campaign.

Do you want to know real impressive? The amount of on screen enemies in Kameo. The bouncing white on blue text in Mario Sunshine. The lighting in Doom 3. The tiniest ******* things that nobody ever notices. They're too engulfed in how everything in Halo looks unrealistically shiny, or how every rock 'looks' like a rock because of agressive texture-mapping.

I'm not trying to turn you against Halo. Yes it's a good game. But it's graphics aren't anything new.

I do not consider myself a man of conflict. I usually avoid it altogether.

But I pretty much disagree with everything you have said in this topic.

Your bit about the "CGI" cut scenes is just ludicrous. Games either use pre-rendered scenes, or console hardware generated scenes. One is a video, the other is animated in real-time. Halo 2's real-time animations use the same graphics that are seen in its gameplay. They really arn't all that different. ...wow, sprites? Wow, I mean... most people know the difference between Pre-Rendered and Real-Time Rendered cut scenes...

Halo 2 has very nice visuals.

I love Metroid as much as the next guy, hell, I moderate at Metroid: Fan Mission, but seriously, credit where credit is due. Halo 2 is a very pretty game.

You're obviously 'not' a man of conflict', because the point about you moderating at a Metroid forum is a complete irrelevancy. I could 'care less' as much as the next guy. Many people are fans of things they rip on constantly. So you think just because you managed to sneak your way into the pants of Metroid Fan Mission's administration, it's going to justify your statement about Halo 2? Go play Halo 2 again. The cutscenes differ a lot from the actualy ingame experience. The graphics are good for spewed up first generation cycle of Xbox software. However, the visuals aren't that impressive (and the ingame human models are ass).

Funny how you say that here and yet you brought up my being a moderator during our Tales of Symphonia debate a few minutes ago.

Please, Mr. Fanguy. This is a General Chat topic. Not one of our trivial PPP debates.

Sorry, that's just funny considering how worked up you seem to get over those "trivial" debates.

Well one could say the same about you, so we'd get nowhere on that notion.

My point was that I don't think the ToS discussion and this one are any more or less trivial than the other.
