do you play other shooters.

If you’ve spent some time in game forums and you’re reading this post, then I’m sure you’ve come across that one, annoying individual whose anonymity among the thousands of avatar clad posters they’re safely hidden among affords them the personal luxury of never being wrong.
You know the type;
their opinion is fact
their mistakes are the truth
and no matter how empahtically you’ve proven them wrong, they’ll just keep on arguing with you.
So… help a brother out here.

got a guy that told me ‘the people who like Halo more than other shooters, don’t typically play other shooters’

I like Halo more than other shooters, but I still play other shooters.

take a second and hit the poll for me, I got a mouth to close.

Other shooters I play:

Perfect Dark
James Bond shooters
Bioshock
Crysis
Star Wars shooters
Fallout 3 (it counts)
Half-Life
Portal
Team Fortress
Medal of Honor
Classic COD (before it hit the 360

And thats just to name a couple. I am very diverse in my shooters and just happen to favor Halo the most.

I play call of Duty as well as Half-Life 2 in addition to Halo. While I am not a huge fan of CoD’s multiplayer, I am hopelessly addicted to the Zombies mode.

First-Person Shooters are the main video games I play.

Half Life 1 & 2
Quake
Marathon
Unreal Tournament
Halo CE, 2
Counter Strike: Source
Bioshock
Call of Duty 4
Battlefield
Far Cry
Stalker
Fallout

I mainly play FPS

Half-life 1 and 2 ep1 ep2
Fallout 3
blops 2 (only cod I like)
Farcry
Medal of Honer
Battlefield
fear 1 and 2

I was big on Battlefield this year, and CoD since Mw2. I don’t like ALL FPS games, but arena FPS shooters with a good competitive gameplay are the ones that get my attention after the sale is made. I love Halo, but I love to compete just a tad bit more and as far as what I’ve experienced thus far Halo is no longer a competitive arena game. It’s an awesome campaign driven game with a rich & full story behind it, that just so happens to have multiplayer capabilities just below CoD style gameplay but right above MassEffect3 gameplay. That’s just my experience this far. Maybe they’ll release an awesome TU later on this coming year and I’ll have an excuse to pop the disc back in. Until then…

FPS’s are essentially the only type of game i ever play.

halo
bioshock
gears of war
call of doody

the like

however, i freaking love halo above all others, including this most recent iteration

surprisingly, yes I only play halo. I played cod for a little a few years ago when modern warfare was big but not much. halo 3 was the first real video game i got into and i guess im just loyal to halo

Right now, I only play other shooters. Halo 4 needs to be worked on before I can play my fav. BTB.

Hopefully you followed my link in the other thread and that brought you here.

(yes, I’m talking to you, just don’t want to use your name or call you out)

Heh you know what, since you’re here and saw the poll above, do you remember that part in Ace Ventura: Pet Detective when Ace proves Capt. Einhorn wrong about how Roger Podacter died, and in blissfully immature celebration starts dry humping the air in front of him and screaming,
“do you like it, huh!, huh! do you like it”

you remember…well…
right now is kinda juuuuuusssst like that. lol

Well, I found a way to love even Duke Nukem Forever, 100%-ed EDF: 2017 solo(not first person, but a shooter nonetheless,) played Frontlines: Fuel of War for two years even after it mostly died, still play original vanilla Doom on PC and even have a cart of Doom effin’ 64 laying around that everyone else hated but I play from time to time, the first game I bought for 360 was Perfect Dark Zero, and I spent the time waiting for my delayed Halo 4 shipment playing Serious Sam 3 so… yeah, I think it’s safe to say I kinda like other shooters, and play them. A bit.

If by “other shooters” your friend meant CoD… well, he’s got me there. Never been a huge fan of the series after the first few.

And I love this game.

Cod.

Battlefield.

Dang parents

I play CoD, Gears of War along with Halo.

Halo to me is just more fun and way less frustrating than a bad spawn night of CoD. I still enjoy those games but I will always come back to my Halo.

> do you play other**…**

By all means, show everyone how pathetic a troll you are. Call a person out by name next time so you don’t come off as a little -Yoink-.

You’ve completely ignored the whole arguement being made, and failed to even read the discussion that’s going on around you (by your own admission), and yet you’ve insisted on trying to call others out on said arguement.

Your poll here, and this entire topic, only shows how little you understand the discussion, and how far you’re willing to go to be a troll. Since this whole topic is one giant attempt at trolling, it will be closed shortly. But before it is, I want a response.

Since you failed to specify in your original post or poll, we’re talking about online multiplayer competitive shooters… IE titles in the same genre as Halo… not any random game with a shooting element. Look at nearly every post you’ve received in response… most of them mention RPGs like Fallout, single-player games like Half-Life and Far Cry and BioShock, 3rd person action games Like Gears of War and Mass Effect… hell, even a puzzle game (Portal) was mentioned.

I also specified that we’re talking about people who greatly prefer the gameplay in Halo online to any other shooter. That means, if given the choice, they play Halo before they consider playing another shooter.

So… let’s recap… I said that compared to other game series Halo is said to compete with, ie online competitive multiplayer shooters like CoD and Battlefield, Halo has a significantly lower incidence of cross-population… meaning that those folks that tend to prefer Halo tend also to not cross-populate into other shooters. I also said that, amongst the most dedicated Halo fans, there’s almost NO cross-population.

Neither your poll, nor your postings even begin to refute that arguement, and you are the ONLY person argueing against it. You’re also the only person stubbornly arguing against Halo being a niche title, even by your own definition. So rather than argue the point and accept you’re on the wrong side of it, you try to pick out bits and pieces of that arguement and mislead other posters into providing information that you think will make you seem on equal footing in the arguement.

And worse maybe… you’ve done it in such a pathetic and condescending way that no matter what info you might be able to glean for this, you can’t possibly be taken seriously anymore in the greater arguement. Maybe quit trying so hard to prove you’re not wrong… and maybe be less of a -Yoink-.

> By all means, show**…**

He can’t. It’s against the rules.

Anyways, I don’t play many other shooters, but I do play some. I play Gears of War and Crysis, but Halo is just so much better that I play it most often.

heh Scarecow…

my dude,these are your words from the other thread.

However, Halo has little cross population with other shooters. In fact, for those people for whom Halo is their most appealing shooter series, there is typically almost no cross population with other series.

what’s there to confuse man?
you’re stating, as fact, that people who enjoy Halo more than other shooters, don’t typically play other shooters.
I mean it’s right there.

what do I need to put up a new poll to try and determine what you were saying?

look, suck it up young man, you were wrong. the numbers above prove it.
breathe man, shorten your paragraphs, let it go.
being wrong happens.

Again, you cherry-picked the arguement to try to mislead people in your poll… but since you’ve already admitted several times that you haven’t even been reading the discussion we were having, it’s not surprising you have no idea what it was about.

We’re comparing apples to apples here… specifically sour and sweet, to offer a better analogy. But here you are asking something completely different. You’re saying that people who like one kind of fruit can like another too… that’s not the argument being made. The argument being made is… if someone likes their apples sour, they’re almost certainly not going to go out and buy a bushel of sweet ones… but a person who doesn’t care what kind of apples they eat, as long as they’re apples, will gladly buy whichever.

So please at least try to be on the same page as everyone else before you go off on some ridiculous crusade like this. Or you know… at least read the arguments being made before you try to post against them.

you’re just keep on talking aint ya’.
again my good man,
Scoreboard.

Now you’re trying to confuse the context by bringing up vague comparisons… with fruit.
lol
Fruit.
Really?

That’s exactly what people do when they’re losing an argument, and realize that they’re losing that argument, they go off topic in an attempt to change their losing position. Hoping that their adversary will take the bait, allowing themselves to get distracted from the main topic.

Not me. No sir.
