No game has stood the test of time like Starcraft has, it is the single greatest indisputable best game of all time.

As I said, Halo all the way, it's the best game ever, it's not like some FPS where you just shoot other people but halo requires strategy, weapons have their pros and cons and you have to decide to use what weapon against what vehicle or enemy. The cool achievements also make Halo a great game too.

1. Genre fail. Badly.

2. How to be good at halo:

a. Get BR/Sniper.
b. Noscope their heads
c. Teabag
c. ???
d. profit

Sorry, Halo doesn't fly well with me =\

Typical 13 year old halo fanboy, all your points are invalid as an argument as to why halo is the best game. Seriously, what FPS doesn't require strategy at some point?? Oh, and just about every FPS created in the past 10++ years has more than one gun, each with it's own pros/cons.

I don't mind that people like or want to play Halo (although I don't understand why...) I just hate it how they think it has all these unique points that make it stand out. When really it's just an over-hyped generic FPS that has gone on for too long.

Did I play halo? Yeah for a little bit, but I've had to listen to retards go on and on about its greatness for the last few years which is probably the worst thing about it.

Yeah, I enjoyed halo as an FPS, it wasn't the greatest out there it just had a massive advertisement campaign and this is what draws little kids in to beg their parents to buy it for them.

I've never been far as decided to use even go want to do look more like.

Does it really matter, what I'm saying is aimed at the series as a whole.

I'll admit, Halo CE was a decent game. Not godly, not bad. Just decent.

Halo 2 was milking a dying cow. I couldn't be bothered to get into it seriously enough though.

Halo 3 raped the cow, killed it with a crowbar and salted the corpse.


(Guess how I feel about H3)

I love Dead Space a lot. And I love Isaac Clarke.

halo was the most advanced game at it's time and it outsold all the games of it's time as well.

Operation Flashpoint was released before Halo and is like 200 times better and more advanced.
You want a FPS with strategy ? You've got there one of the few real war simulation.

****, you are a "serious gamer"?? who seems to like FPS-s and you HAVENT heard of Operation Flashpoint? god damn you must be 1. a console "srs gamerz" who plays halo... thats it you play halo.. or 2. your in a range of age where your voice is slowly startin to get all wierd and you have hair growin all up in mysterious places.

Operation Flashpoint was and has remained probably the bestest FPS-s!

PS! only thing "highly" advanced about halo was its simplicity. oh and all those fairy tales the advertisement and Hype told you, those things were advanced also, and everytime you played halo, gummybears and rainbow coloured jellybeans started flying out of my ass.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA I LOVE YOU GUYS I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE


I didn't stop playing it 'til this year when ArmA 2 came out, seeing as I didn't like ArmA 1 much. Anyway, 2 is a true sequel and I absoloutely love it, so its finally taken over the mantle, but I still feel like loading up OpFlash and playing the campaigns.

Man, the years I spent on OpFlash, you wouldn't believe.


And, for lammyboi so we can end this ridiculous argument - Halo is a great game because of its simplicity, not because its advanced. It is a game that you can pick up and play with a friend for co-op, or with friends for local play, without taking long to get used to it. Its fun and polished - but it most definitely ain't advanced. That's not a bad thing, and trying to argue that it IS advanced just makes you look dumb, so please just accept that as much as you like Halo, it isn't the world's best FPS, RTS, RPG, turn based strategy, flight sim, kart racing game, and dating simulator all at once.

Hahaha, actually I do.
I havent had the chance to try ArmA 2 yet (I don't like the first very much either) but OPF is definitely in my top3 best games ever. This game is just so ... EVERYTHING!
Man, I wanna redo the campaigns now, for the 23325th time.

Sadly ArmA 2 has a pretty lackluster campaign like ArmA 1, but the rest of the game is really amazing. I've been playing a lot of the Warfare mode (RTS hybrid) online, really great stuff with 20v20 players, and the new High Command feature is great.

But yeah, its worth going back to OpFlash for me just for the charm and the campaigns - especially the Resistance one, loved that one.

< Sigh >

If this is going to degrade into a "Best Game Ever" thread, may I save you all the trouble?

GameRankings

Feel free to edit the settings to reflect platforms and categories but it does represent a respected averaging of reviews.

Furthermore, where is the Indie love? Altitude is an indie game and no-one has cited any indie games just triple-A's!!

I'll list my top indie games shortly

I think any attempt to create an actual unbiased list of 'the best games ever' is pretty pointless. Its about personal opinion, which games you enjoy the most.

Also, I love Cortex Command, that's Indie. I thought I mentioned it, maybe I forgot.
