looks like... (no, not 20 questions)

[Ir0nRaven]

is it just me, or does Planetside look surprisingly like Halo? I'm not complaining or anything, but just pointing out. The visors, the guns, the weapons, the armor, just sorta resemble halo stuff. what are your opinions?

if i were less lazy, i'd go get some halo screenshots, and compare them, etc. etc.

but i'm lazy.

go figure.

Not too similar. The Master Chief didn't look like any of the various faction's more heavy armor types. The Marines... well, maybe a bit like NC guys in light armor. As for the guns... hrm. The Covenant's Plasma Pistol is a bit like the Vanu laser pistol too. Otherwise the weapons seem pretty different too. And the Warthog looks nothing like any of the other Jeeps, IMO. But, come to think of it, Foe Hammer is slightly reminiscant of a Galaxy.

Beware, saying something like that here is like stepping into a den of rabid badgers with raw meat strapped to your chest.

Halo, never played.

[TerraxNovae]

I will say this about Halo... the lead-in book was as good as, if not better than the plot of the game. Just imagine a squad of SPARTAN II's in action. Gives me chills...

[Lexington_Steele]

Nope, don't see it. I loved Halo (it the best single player FPS that I have played so far IMO) and wouldn't mind if Planetside ended up playing alot like Halo. However I don't really see it as being similar to Halo.

For example, most weapons in Halo didn't have a cone of fire. The ones that did have a cones of fire were not effected by things like movement. (I wouldn't mind seeing greades that stick to people in PS tho).

I think PS is going to be very different than Halo and that is not necessarily a bad thing either.

Then you missed/missing out on the best game for consoles ever created.

[Hamma]

Never played it either. h8 microsoft.

;)

[Tobias]

Only consal games worth playing are Twisted metal, RE games, and a few of the RPGs. And that super smash brothers game, i like being kirby, i never win, but i like kirby non the less.

[Jinxmasta]

How can you not have played Halo? It's only like the best game of all time!

[Lazare]

OK i never played Halo too. But the best Consolegame series is Armored core for PSX and PS2.

[Jinxmasta]

No... it's not. Halo is the best. Don't argue with me. I'm right, you're wrong. It's as simple as that. Just shhh. I don't want your back talk. Just don't speak and take a deep breath. Now go out, buy an Xbox and also buy Halo. Now you will see true gaming.

[Sytadel]

Goldeneye > Halo.

[Tobias]

RE games pwn all. For the lesser systems of course. None of those can Touch the PC.

[sYn pHrEAk]

The first thing that got me hooked on Planetside was the fact that I was hooked on Halo but then fucking Microshaft bought it and didn't release it for PC so i was like hey Planetside looks a lot like Halo but sounds lots kewler. So yes they look very similar to me but I still haven't played Halo. It and Mechwarrior Assault are probably the only 2 games worth getting an Xbox for and i refuse to pay $300+ to play 2 games.

Aren't they planning on releasing Halo for PC summer 03?

[Jinxmasta]

Actually you can get an XBox for 200 dollars and it comes with a "Controller S" and 2 games. I also think it comes with the normal controller too. Oh and why get it for computer when you can get Halo 2 next year on the XBox?

I am a huge fan of Goldeneye. Oh man that game was awesome. But I have to disagree with you. Halo > Goldeneye.

My only problem with it is that there aren't enough good levels if you are just playing with 3-4 players. Most of the levels seem to be towards 8 players.


X-box games definately worth owning:

Mech Assault, Ghost Recon, Splinter Cell, Halo

[Da King]

I've played Halo and I was kind of disapionted with it I mean it was like this game rocks, but given a choice between Halo and lets say HL for PC I would have gone with HL (and the mods of course)

But as for Halo verses Planetside there is no coparison PS is in my book the best FPS of all time and its not even out yet.


I can see some similaritys between Halo and PS like being able to drive vehicles and stuff buts that like saying the original Doom compares to T2 in that you shoot a gun. I mean come on people.

[Qanamil_Rafiki]

They may be similar, but anytime you compare to beautifully done games that tends to be the case.
