Shame that the story elements of Halo 2 seem to overshadow all the good things that game that and the huge refinements it made to the series.

• Vehicle takedowns/hijacking - possibly the most copied feature since
• Removal of all health packs - fully recharging HP
• That covenant sword lock-on risk/reward epicness
• The fun of dual wielding
• A massively better looking game
• The best multiplayer maps in the entire series
• A fantastic match-making system (a first for consoles) and all that brought with it

Sure, a lot of these were apparent in the multiplayer but whenever people refer to Halo 2 as a disappointment, I have to remind them that in terms of gameplay, it was the high-point of the series. Now that was combat evolved, while Halo 3's messy deployables just overly-complicated an already elegant system and the complete nerf to dual wielding lessened options. Let's face it, the BR became the defacto weapon from that game onwards which I think is a damn shame.

Yuuuuup. These things are awesome. Size is somewhat ridiculous but then again the Warhammer universe was never known for subtlety.

Normandy is a close second though.

Second go, first time I got like 1100 because I didn't skip anything... Fun game but inconsistent about how accurate you have to be. Some series let you get away with just the main name but others require the specific entry.

Lol. You're really quoting the DF guys, people who actually know how game engines work, as ignorant asshats? Rocks, glass houses and all that.

They weren't reacting to Jeff's article. They were reacting to the massively negative thread that it prompted on places such as Neogaf. If anyone here would actually bother to read and click on the links embedded there.

He's not calling Jeff a liar - he's just asking how likely it is that the engine would drop so much. Most engines built around 60FPS tend to have drops - they discuss that in depth and prove that this is worse than most for that, but they rarely hit single digits because they have such a high overhead. Dropping 20FPS when you're running an average of 60 isn't THAT huge a problem. Dropping 20 when your max is 30 is most definitely an issue. No idea why you're taking it so personally.

So I always click the download button and it just opens a new window with the video playing when I'm on mobile. Trying to download on Android but having no luck. Any suggestions?

I don't get why people cheese the game with magic. It just never felt satisfying for me. Sure, you still have to deal with positioning as you would in melee but it always felt like swords were what this game was designed around. There's so much to learn and so much pay off when doing so.

Not that Brad is playing it 'wrong', it's just that it's better to learn that stuff early on when the game is easier, than be forced to learn it in the late game because you had such a huge crutch to start off with.

TR on PC easily runs at 60FPS on a modest rig. That's a pretty big difference besides the potential resolution increase.

If he's talking about Airborne, now that's an underrated gem. Large open levels, not linear at all - it's the anti-COD and so before it's time.

Oh gosh... nnf.

Now this actually blew my mind.

PSN always updates later. It's annoying but it's how it is.
