Should get Far cry 3 between bo2 and halo4

finbars754143d ago

Its funny how people disagree with you.Obvisouly farcry3 is way ahead of these two games in this generation.I would spend $60 on farcry3 because the value is there where the other two are just the same thing over and over.But I would easily pick Halo4 over BO2 any day if Farcry3 wasnt out.

B-radical4143d ago

Its not funny people disagreed with him the title clearly states black ops 2 vs halo 4 aha

otherZinc4143d ago

Please. LOL at the the people saying Halo 4 has less value than "any game".
Campaign Co-op: cant be done in BO2
Campaign in BO2 is massively linear
Spartan Ops: co-op to 4 players
Spartan Ops: has video episodes for each
Zombie mode is fantastic as well
Multi-player is a wash almost
Story: Halo is deep!

Give the edge to Halo 4, however, BO2 & H4 can be played the entire year. That cant be said for most other games.

Buy both, as I did.

JC_Denton4143d ago

Neither. "Everything that's wrong with this generation: the video game" vs. Halo: Call of Duty Edition.

Spend your money on something that's actually worth 60 dollars.

CommonSenseGamer4143d ago

Halo 4 is a great game and Black Ops 2 is fine but overpriced as usual.

Kalowest4143d ago (Edited 4143d ago )

Halo 4 is worth $60, idk about BO2.

jimbobwahey4143d ago

I'm inclined to agree. Halo 4 has been terribly disappointing and Black Ops 2 doesn't look any better. They're both tired franchises that have been run into the ground at this point.

pompombrum4143d ago

Seriously scratching my head as to how people think Halo is worth the money while BO2 isn't. Now I say this as someone who HATES Black Ops 2 and loves Halo but really, there is far more value in Black Ops 2 than Halo. Most of the new additions to Halo are just heavily watered down things in Black Ops 2 and there is a huge issue of lack of small maps in Halo. Same 5 maps over and over and over again in Halo, you never play the same map twice (unless it's voted) in Black Ops and can even go 5+ hours without even seeing some maps once.

That's not to say Black Ops 2 is a radical improvement over other games but why reinvent the wheel? They just took their wheel and optimized it to make it the best damn wheel it could possibly be.

Neither, you want shooters, get Far Cry 3 and Crysis 3 (when it's out)

Angerfist4143d ago

Halo 4 for Multiplayer and Black Ops for the Campaign.

Xbox $70 billion bet paid out

fr0sty253d ago

Guess that's what happens when there's no good new games to play...

4Sh0w253d ago (Edited 253d ago )

Well regardless of exclusives, or whatever else there is to play on Xbox or ps, CoD has has still been the top selling game on ps platform since forever also.....so no surprise that the most popular game franchise on any console could easily have a revival due to servers coming back online...this is just credit to xbox backwards compatibility & thats good thing for Xbox gamers.

wiz7191253d ago

@Frosty orrrr maybe it’s a breath of fresh air to be able to go back to the peak of the series .. and it’s beem great lol

mkis007253d ago

It's going to take 10 years for xbox to generate that much profit...

Rhythmattic253d ago

Why worry when they have OS, Server and Background Data in their hands...
Gaming is just the small piece, at the top left in a few K piece jigsaw.

EasilyTheBest253d ago

If you buy a house with cash for 1 million dollars you still own the house. Microsoft don't need to make the money back.

Rhythmattic251d ago

But its not money back, its about how it goes missing.

jznrpg253d ago

Shooters is what Xbox people play most of the time and that’s about it by the numbers and sales of games.

shinoff2183254d ago

Atkeast older gamers nostalgia is good. Jeez.

Jin_Sakai254d ago

Mostly because the new CoD games are garbage. The old games were much better.

Rutaprkl253d ago

Agree 100%. Cod 4, WaW, Black ops 1 & 2, those were the days.

Rhythmattic253d ago

For MP, Unreal tournament , QIII Arena (loved the UT mod) FTW!

RaidenBlack253d ago

Unreal Tournament and Quake III were simply amazing ... CoD's and CoD-likes' rise killed the arena shooter popularity ...
Unreal Tournament 2004 is my favorite in the series.
Didn't enjoy Unreal Tournament III, Quake Champions that much.
Too bad Epic cancelled Unreal Tournament 2014 becoz of Fortnite

Rhythmattic252d ago (Edited 252d ago )

I got hooked on the QIII Urban Terror mod (and my work colleagues I introduced them to)... LAN Sessions at the closing of the doors at work, into the night , sinking beers and eating pizza..... Good times.

thesoftware730253d ago

Wow, good games never get old I guess.

CoD will always be a beast of a franchise, and how awesome is it that you can just boot it up or pop it into your Xbox and play, MS BC is really a neat feature.

CrimsonWing69253d ago

Shows you that backwards compatibility is a worthwhile feature.

1Victor253d ago

@crimson:” Shows you that backwards compatibility is a worthwhile feature.”
I agree it’s worthy at the start of the generation when there’s few new generation games but halfway through the generation it’s not a feature.
Now it’s good that this game is finding a renewed life for its fan but it shows a mayor flaw in new games release when a close decade old game is toppling the charts

CrimsonWing69252d ago

I don't know if I understand what you mean. It's a feature regardless of the time into the generation.

Let's take Armored Core 6 for example. Let's say I'm interested in checking out the previous Armored Core games, sure would be nice if I could play them on my current-gen console.

We're about 3 years into current-gen and old games are hitting in the top 5 for sales charts in the month.

I do get where you're coming from with older games possibly being better than the newer games, but the feature stays the feature. I can only speak for myself, but when there's a lull in game releases or nothing great is out, I like to go back to old titles. It's just nice to not have to have a bunch of consoles out to do so.

I think moving forward it'll be less and less of an issue as like with the PS5 you can access most all of the PS4 games, but I like going back to PS1 and PS2. Would be awesome to kind of make backwards compatibility a prioritized feature moving forward. Hell, Sony was the first to implement it.
