bravo. and now for my 2 cents

In Response To: The Technical Superiority of the Halo series (Mothergoat)

I would defently have to agree with yoy on colision dection. and if you think about it, the collision detail goes even further then worldly objects. try running in to another person or jumping on him. halo is the only game that has not the invisable box around the person. try that on any version of counter-strike (includeing source that also has the havok engine) and not only will you hit a invisable wall, but both you and the other person frame rate and walking pace will slow. that makes it a little hard to infaltrate small areas. countless times i have run into a room in halo with a buddie into the face of the enemy. we could not do that in CS:S because of bumping between persons.

One thing that makes halo great is wepon dependancy. rarely will act randomly. if your crosshair is on the target, you will hit. simple. some say that haveing guns become innacruate unless you are stationary makes the game more realistic, but all that does is reward campers with more accruate aim, punish those who take the inshative.

another thing i love about halo is the leval layout. maps are much more about skill/teamwork then key camping points *dust!* *cough* *cough*. note how there is always 2 or more ways to every base in every multiplayer lvl.

another thing I love about halo is the balance of wepons. ya this have been covered before, but let me rant about what i like. anyway, balance; the wepons are fairly balanced. a good player can kill anybody with any gun. some say the RL or sword is an expection, but it is not. have you never killed the guy with those wepons with the SMG? if not, i am sad for you. the only expection to this is the sniper, but that is what the BR is for.

that you for reading my rant.
