I dont talk about system link or Xbox Live. I talk about the story line.
Black is great. Weapons are like real. Ghaphic is good. Story line is way better than Halo.
I just passed the 2nd mission. I can't wait to go home and play more.

Yeah, a great game i thought.
I like the military type better than Halo anyway.
I forget how many missions there are total but i know i just went over a very large bridge into a fortress of some sort.
Love the mine feilds, they are my favorite. One grenade and you can set off a whole chain reaction :)

Yeah I just pass a 2nd mission where is the Fram. It is great.
The only thing is bad about this game that it does not have system link and Live.
Maybe the Black2 will have them.

I personally would have been challenged to be any more dissapointed in commandos. Just absolutely dull.
Black has some fun moments. But comparing it to Halo is no more valid than when people compared it with Killzone. They're all great titles, but they're nothing alike. The only similarities are that you are 1st person perspective, and you carry a gun to shoot with.
That's not a huge similarity. You might as well compare Unreal 2 to Goldeneye for the n64.
But yes, Black is a fun little romp. I just want more.

The only real comparison to Halo is Half-Life.
where Halo ripped all of their ideas off from to make their game.
Halo & Halo2 were good, but Half-Life & Half-Life2 were great.
That is why both 1 & 2 have won game of the year.
But i had a blast playing Black, yes it is your basic military fps but i thought it was much more fun that some of the others like Killzone. The graphics and sound in Black were just far beyond that of Killzone. Which i found to be highly overrated. Kill.Switch on the other hand was a great game. Psi-Ops was another one.

Yo Steimy..now thats a game list there in itself...
Agreed commandos is a real letdown, just doesn't seem to get exciting..very mechanical with no feeling of involvement,,but all said still better than Conspiracy,WMD..that was grim, a good example of how not to do it..
Maybe if they get quick we can have another installment of Black..There seems to be a lot of plot potential hanging there, and I do enjoy a good shooter..
Gave up with Driver..Just lost interest a few missions in..dull dull dull..
Road to hill 30 never seems to get going....I played all night and.......It looked nice so I gave it a chance
Now Tomb Raider Legend.out today ( I got it on Friday.."smug grin"..)..Save up your spare change guys..This one is truly a classic..67% completed and only one or 2 little moans, but It wouldn't be Tomb Raider without 'em...Feels and plays just like the old ones we loved on the ps1...Total classic all over!!Buy It! (or whatever ;)

You can have your opinion, no matter how wrong it is.
Halo is a great game, don't get me wrong. But compare the 2 games side by side and you will see that Halo ripped off a lot from Half-Life, which was out 3 years before the Xbox was even released!
It won over 50 game of the year awards from various sources and is widely regarded as the "founding father" of the modern day first person shooter games.
"1998 Game of the Year, Half-Life was developed by Valve Software.
From it's release, Half-Life went on to win over 50 "Game of the Year" awards from various publications. This of course was no suprise, Half-Life introduced a whole different world to the FPS gamers, and is still a benchmark for even the most recently released games.
Furthermore, Half-Life's success didn't just fade out over time, the more creative fans in the community took it upon themselves to keep the game alive for many years by developing their own modifications, some of which were almost more of a success than the original title - can anyone say Counter-Strike?
In conclusion, Half-Life set new standards, and then proceeded to break them itself, what more can you ask for in a game?"

First off, yes, Black is worth getting; although if you wait a month or two, it really should go down ten or twenty bucks; this is just the way EA has been doing things lately.
Now, on to my confusion...
What exactly did Halo rip off from Half Life? True, they are both science fiction. And yes, you shoot things in both of them. But it seems to me that the storylines are fundamentally different here. One involves a huge interplanetary adventure to stop an entire alien race from destroying the universe. And the other is wrapped up in government conspiracies to cover up everything they can.
I understand that they both have aliens, but I can no more use that fact to say that X Files ripped off Star Trek. And ironically, the similarities between Halo and Half-Life seem identical.
As for the gameplay, it doesn't even seem like they tried to go similar. Half-Life focused a lot on platform jumping, and picking foes off one at a time. Whereas Halo was much more gung ho, in large open areas, about taking out a mass of enemies, particularly enemies that had some tendency to be bigger than you (Save the little peons).
The art and graphics styles were completely different; one focused on dank, run-down looking facilities. The other focused on high tech industrial neon glow starships and ancient alien artifacts.
Vehicles were certainly not stolen from Half-Life; if anything it's quite the other way around. I don't know if you recall how much similar driving the buggy around in HL2 feels to Halo's control...
I think I've gone into every facet except multi-player here. The multiplayer very uniquely different. The standard half-life multi player was, let's be honest here, Horrible. Absolutely horrible. Now before anyone rips me a new one for this, hear me out. There was a great experience to be had with Half Life online. That experience was through the mods. Not the original game. Particularly Counter Strike, and what now feels like a long forgotten TFC. (Warm and fuzzy thoughts of TFC)And as great as these were, they were not Half-Life. They were other programmers ideas for great things to do with the engine. They were huge successes, and I applaud them. But they are not Half-Life. They are an alternative in the same engine. I realize that there are many other HL mods that have come and gone that deserve a lot of attention, if I did not name your favorites, I apologize, I simply named the biggest two.
As for Halo's multiplayer, it was actually good, right out of the box. Four players with one copy of the game, and sixteen with linked xbox's. It was fun, had maps that felt completely new, and stayed fresh for a long time.
Half-Life's multiplayer mods were great; but I don't know anyone who liked it's standard multiplayer for more than one round. It was very dull, IMO.
Now; I hope this doesn't come across as a flame. I swear I don't mean for that. I am simply a baffled by this argument that I hear all over the net; and I am completely at a loss, trying to figure out how on earth one ripped off the other.
I would like to also remind everyone of one very interesting thing about Halo. The level design, the storyline, the ideas for multiplayer, the mechanics for which the vehicles were to operate. Were all made a long time ago. Bungie realized a long long time ago, that better hardware was needed to be able to handle the physics calculations, and they waited for systems that could do that with good graphics. If you go back and research it; you might find that the drawings, the story work, even a large part of the physcis algorithms were all created just after obtaining the original copyright for Halo.... In 1985. I understand that to those of you reading that bit for the first time, the instant reaction is "Bull****", but please research before calling me on this.
Please don't think I'm saying at all that HL coplied Halo. I want to make sure that is not thought. Because they are so fundamentally different.
I just don't see the same similarities as you, and I am genuinely interested in hearing what similarities it is that brought you to this conclusion.
Again, I'm not trying to start a flame war, and I'm not trying to rub anyone's face in anything. I like to get all my facts on the table, and then hear what someone else has to say.
I'll definitely be checking this board, this is very interesting to me.

Wait, even though Half Life has won a lot fo awards but it still can't compare to Halo in 3D graphic. Halo is more sharp and clear but Half-Life isn't.
Myself, I pick Halo over HalfLife.
