Duke Nukem Isn’t A Big Fan of Halo’s Spartan Armor

Duke Nukem Forever, like the Duke Nukems before it, is a game packed with references. References to movies, references to news and, yes, reference to other video games.

[Mista T]

hahahaha, just like when doom guy was referenced in duke nukem 3d, :P he said
"that's one doomed space marine"

here he says, "power armor is for pussies" haha

[mightyboot]

The gaming industry wouldn't be the same without Duke Nukem.

Nowdays the gaming industry takes itself to seriously sometimes, im glad that DNF is here to make an "readjustment".

[Denethor_II]

"DNF" Did not finish?

[frostyhat123]

Lol at the game cover

[FinalSpartan]

Lol thats funny, Duke Nuken is classic, Nice Halo reference.

[Snake Raiser]

We need more references in video games. MGS does it well, Duke does everything well, but not too many others have got the skill to pull off interesting, funny references.

HAIL TO THE KING BABY!

[darthv72]

halo to the king baby.

lol

[Kran]

Im sure there was a post on this yesterday.

[Trevonn]

hail to the KING!!!!!

[K3nji]

There's only one king and that's "Ash"

[TheBand1t]

references alone make duke nukem fun to play

[Masterchef2007]

Master Chief is a panzy in comparison to the Duke.

BTW im a big duke fan been waiting for this eversince it was announced.

[The_Great_D]

the only reason halo took off in the first place was because duke nukem forever was delayed. around 1999, duke was one of the best FPS games out there. now over 10 years later, duke is taking a shot at that awful halo franchise and its great.

-16 to 18 hour adventure
-tons of original and cool weapons
-comedic catch phrases, hot babes and varied gameplay

THATS how you make an all around entertaining and fun first person shooter. all you developers out there who make 4 our campaigns with piss poor storylines (bungie, epic and activision) can learn from DUKE, cuz hes back!!!!!!

[nilamo]

God I can't wait to see all the damage control when this puppy flops like a fish on dry land.

[ExplosionSauce]

By "flop" you mean...

[Sidewinder-]

16 to 18 hours? Thats actually very cool.

[gcolley]

halo took off because it was awesome. it took the console FPS crown off golden eye. interestingly, this is why PS3 fanboys go nuts over Killzone... they have never had a console FPS king before. no dissing anyone, just making my observation

[vishant101]

killzone is no where near to the blockbuster status of other fps games as a game its good but its no king in terms of fps only graphics

[hellzsupernova]

it took off cause it was noob friendly

[awi5951]

@hellzsupernova

You never played halo ce multiplayer you noob. People complained so much about the awesome halo pistol and grenades bungie took it out the game and have never replaced it.Thats why all Halo multiplayer after the first sucks because the damage on all weapons was reduced to worthless. And the Halo reach pistol still sucks compared to the original one.

[ShinMaster]

popular. Which does not equal quality. Especially now a days.
And it's a pretty noob friendly game after Halo:CE.

[gypsygib]

That Halo armor is really cool IMO.

Duke Nukem was cool....10 years ago now he looks like a moron.

[palaeomerus]

I like power-armor and robots, including the Mjolnir armor, but this is just a joke like Duke is talking shit to other famous video game characters that he feels some rivalry with. It's nothing to get upset about or take seriously. It's for fun.

I'm sure the 3D realms and Gearbox people don't hate the concept of power armor. Gearbox did the PC port of Halo: CE after all.

Also you have to admit that Duke has demonstrated that he can carry a lot more weapons and ammunition around at one time than Master Chief can. :)

[gypsygib]

Lol so true, Master Chief can flip warthogs like paper cups but can only carry 2 guns.

[vishant101]

really i hate games where i can carry all guns at once makes less strategy to it

[AssassinHD]

Did you just type that more weapons means less strategy? Is it opposite day again already?

In what world does having a greater arsenal mean less tactical and strategic solutions?

[visualb]

lol @ Halo fankids dissing duke nukem because he took the piss

aha...this gen is saaaaaaad =P

[DarkBlood]

ok its a official im getting this game day one

[gcolley]

thanks for the spoiler

[m23]

Although this game looks like its going to be a ton of fun, I have a feeling that it will be a sales flop.

[Zinc]

I'm really looking forward to this game. Man, it's been a long time. People can spew their BS hate all they want, but in the end, I'm going to be playing with my balls of steel.

Seriously, it's all in fun... there will be more games after Forever, but only one Duke.

Also, I've always loved the name Duke Nukem Forever... that's some heavy wordplay, right there.

[zero_cool]

duke nukem forever isn't the last duke nukem game on major platforms because there was a duke nukem game that was originally being worked on long before duke nukem forever existed that was postponed & they started working on duke nukem forever but i just can't recall what it was called.

[DoomeDx]

PS3 version will get a helghast suit!

[protekjv]

I was thinking maybe, for example, magneto fighting without a helmet. or even maybe sentinel looking like nimrod.

[protekjv]

opps wrong post

[MWH]

do you have some bubble gum on you? because we're all out of gum and it's time to kick ass.

[Big_Dom]

Duke was my first ever MP experience on PC via a LAN back in 1996. I hope the red light district LA Meltdown map is remade. Had some right laughs on that.

[MWH]

COME GET SOME.

[Raendom]

Will this be in the PS3 version? :o

[Nelson M]

Duke is a Woofter
