truthfully its Halo b/c I rock at it. 90% head shots.. I usually use sniper or pistol. Mainly pistol i guess. I play against my friends who have xbox and halo and always win at xbox parties. I'm very patient and they're never able to spot me. I never camp b/c thats an easy way to get killed. I just plain kick ass.

I've played fps's on the pc like all the r6, quake 2 and 3, castlevania, op flashpoint and deus ex. They were all fun but I never got too good at them. Especially at Q3... how the hell r ppl so good at q 3? Its way to fast for me now after playing halo. But its prolly b/c i never took the time to practice while playing q3. I always went directly to online play and got my ass whooped and learned nothing. So in the end.. its how good I am at a game that determines how much I like it.

In all honesty my favorite FPS would have to be HALO, because before Halo i really didnt like FPS. It revolutionized the way people moved around with its unique gameplay style and control scheme. And it incoporates a good of strategy into its gamplay, not just point and shoot like past FPS. And finally it was just plain fun, and got my mind off of waiting for RARE to make a miraculous comeback with the 007 franchise

Untill next time...

Halo becuase:

Good AI
Top notch graphics which have outdone anything released on the PC.
Good atmospheric music and excellent sound effects (love the alien grunts when they speak)

Good realism i like the idea of only 2 weapons. PLaying soldier of fortune 2 which is supposed to be realistic yet it seems i was carrying at least 2 tons of weapons

.
Top controls which i expected would be bad but they are really good.
Good story and very good voice acting (more so than normal games)
Good use of vehicles which arent just gimmicks like they would be in some games.
Good transitions from 1st to 3rd person and vice versa and indoor to outdoor areas.

Other decent games i would include would be Half Life and Medal of Honour. Jedi Knight 2 is fun when you get to be all Jedi

Halo:
Single player sucked
Story good (like it matters)
graphics OK
Sound OK
Multiplayer rocks
I rock <--- the deciding factor

Halo

**E-Vader** · 06-02-2002

Half Life, Opposing Force and Blue Shift.

Just awsome to play, Graphics for its age are holding up well, the sound is just fantastic and gameplay I keep going back for more.

**PSYCH0 GUY** · 06-02-2002

counter-strike for pc is the best FPS of all time by far i think

**Hugh_Jass** · 06-02-2002

Dark Forces on the PC.

It captured the feeling of the Star Wars universe and didn't pollute the gameplay with Jedi powers or light sabers.

**LynxFX** · 06-02-2002

For single player it is a tie between the original Half Life and Halo. For multiplayer it is a tie between UT Assault and Counter Strike. Q2 XCTF is a runner up.

**hook-worm J** · 06-02-2002

Single player would have to be Halo... But before Xbox it would be Perfect Dark for the N64, man I loved that game. But for multiplayer it would be Day of Defeat (a WWII mod for Half-life), I absolutely love it.

**Young_Fledgling** · 06-02-2002

counter-strike for pc all the way.
