I'm a pathetic bastage? News to me.
There is a difference between having an opinion, and living in your own delusional world. Well, Jimmy has apparently gotten the "Bright" idea that I'm insane and a "pathetic bastage" because I think Halo is a better game then Time Splitters 2. Not only did he manage to insult me and my intelligence several times, he also made no sense and started lying about things. Oh well, then I guess me and the other 99.9% of Xbox owners are pathetic bastages.
You see, I can tolerate people having opinions about things, after all, not everyone is going to agree about everything, but when you just start making stuff up and complaining about things that make no sense, that's when it becomes annoying. Well, enough about that, let's look at the arguments, shall we?
1. Why do people talk about how Halo is so great while if TS2 is so much better than it, doesn't even get 1/10 of it's recognition?
Jimmy's response, "And at most people wouldn't talk about Nazi-ism being bad WHEN UNDER THE RULE OF A CRUEL DICTATOR LIKE MS"
Yes, that right. The reason people don't talk about TS2 is because they are afraid that Bill Gates goon squad will come and kill them. News flash, we live in America, people have free will, and they can say what they want with fear of being hunted down like a dog. I don't even know how this argument makes sense. Buying an Xbox doesn't mean you are now controlled by Bill Gates, but whatever. He later goes on to mention that Bill Gates owns the country and the press can't be trusted. Let's see if the arguments become more coherent.
2. Halo had a better story than TS2
Jimmy's response, "Halo had the crap of all stories. Some marines find something and blow it up, then decide it ain't blown up well enough."
What the hell is he babbling about? Did he even bother to pay attention to the game before he just started making stuff up? I mean, that's not even close at all. If it was, they should just replace those 2 books that are out and a 3rd one to come with a single sheet a of paper that says, "OMGWTFLOL!!1!11 YOU BLOW SHIT UP LOL!!111!11" It's just sad if you have to resort to lies to try and win an argument.
Bonus Jimmy comment! "TS2 had original subplots that go along with each level." Then his examples of these "original subplots" are, "Saving French maidens, preventing intergalactic space war, helping famous mobsters"
Well slap my ass and call me Sally, that's the most original thing I've ever heard! Oh wait, did I say original? I meant rehashed idiocy. Even IGN realizes TS2's story is a pitiful attempt at a plot. How anyone can compare TS2's story with Halo's is obviously insane.
3. The controls for Halo are perfectly fine
Jimmy's response, "[Halo has a] ancient non-exponential aiming system that was thrown out at the time of Perfect Dark. The addition of a jump function on an MS controller is awkward and poorly executed with the odd Halo running physics"
Excuse me while I try to take this seriously...BAHAHAHAHA WTF ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT YOU INSANE MAN?!?! How is it a non-exponential aiming system? TS2 and Halo practically have the same damn aiming system. I'm not even going to argue against this one until it starts making sense. Odd running physics? Oh, you mean because it isn't like TS2, so it is odd. Ok, I see. And the jump is poorly executed...how? Unless you're just horribly inept, everyone else seems to be doing just fine with it.
Extra Super Mega Bonus Comment! "Actually no, that would be called having three thumbs, since it takes one to aim with the right thumbstick and another to press the jump button."
This was in reference to the fact that I can both aim and jump without having to take my thumb off the thumbstick. I guess me and most good Halo players are three thumbed mutants, right Jim? Just because you can't use the controls well doesn't mean they are bad controls.
4. The Weapons in Halo fit the game
Jimmy's response, "Lack of authentic feeling weapon variety. Authentic meaning that it fits with the environment, which is not to say that Halo weapons seem out of place, but that they all seem to belong in the same place."
Err...what? So...the weapons are bad because they fit the game? O....k. That has to be the WORST ARGUMENT EVAR!
More comments that don't make much sense, "TS2 you can fight in Chinatown, a rift in spacetime, the future, the big city, a mountain ravine ... and there are weapons that seem to come from all kinds of eras. With Halo it's like ... gee, another fricking impossible space weapon."
Oh, the irony is delicious. Can't you just taste it? Yes, Halo has "Impossible space weapons" but the idea of fighting time traveling aliens with Tommy guns isn't infeasible at all. Ok, now, remind me again, how are the weapons impossible again? See, this game is set in something I like to call, "The Future", and in the future, things that we didn't think were possibly, are suddenly possible! You see, things like plasma weapons can exist because not only we are we in the future, but also there is a much-advanced alien race in the future! Kind of like if you told a caveman that in the future a weapon like an atomic bomb would exist, he probably wouldn't believe you, but we all know it does exist. Easy to understand, isn't it?
5. Halo does not need more enemies.
Jimmy's response, "[Halo has] retarded enemies which are limited to 8 types.
Ok Jimmy, I'll try to explain this to you the best I can. A good game is like a good meal. I do not judge the meal by the amount of food I get, but rather, the quality of it. A pound of Macaroni and Cheese is not better than an 8-ounce steak. Just because there is more Macaroni does not mean it is better. It lacks the quality of the steak and there being more of it does not make up for this. Ok, so Halo had 8 different enemy types, and your point is? Those 8 types were better designed in the AI department and the graphics department then those in TS2. Just because TS2 has enemies like a woman with gigantic breasts or a monkey and other countless idiotic enemies does not make it better, I am sorry to have to break this to you.
Well, there were other things in the debate, most of which consisted of personal insults and how much Halo's story sucks compared to the masterpiece of a story TS2 had. He also said it was too easy, which I find hard to believe since he seems to have trouble operating the basic controls. Maybe he should stop playing co-op on easy and try the dangerous leap to normal. Well, I all hope you learned a valuable lesson today kids, if you're going to try and debate something, at least make it coherent and if you are going to lie, and least make it believable.
