haha- everyone always mentions halo...(i personally love it)

for me- the most overrated game was burnout 3; that game was fun for a while, but then damn- it just got annoying

I think Counterstrike itself is a rather awesome game. the people who play it are another matter.

yes, halo is VERY overated. I haven't played the sequel tho.
I think Doom 3 lived up to the hype more than Half Life 2 did.

...known from a videotape the two made when they met in March... in Dresdens home, Dresden amputated Gabriels penis and Dresden and Gabriel ate the penis together...Gabriel had insisted that Dresden bite his penis off; this did not work.. Dresden used a knife. When that knife turned out to be too blunt, Dresden used a sharper knife to slice the penis off. Gabriel apparently tried to eat his share of his own penis..but could not because it was too..."chewy". Dresden then sautéed the penis in a pan with salt, pepper, and garlic.

no way?! HL2 > D3

half life 2 is by far the best game i have ever played. the engine is so smooth, story line is uncomparable, and the gameplay is fantastic.

i have no idea really..

but yeah, halo singleplayer is overrated.. but playing it with a friend either in coop or against eachother is really fun

and as confession said... counterstrike is a damn nice game, but most players bring's it down in the dirt.. that's why i don't play it anymore..

really? i thought multiplayer was really slooooooow & boring.

the problem with counterstrike was that it was neither a close-quarters attempted sim, nor an unrealistic shooter. it fell in the middle and did both badly imo.

Totally agreed. I used to be somewhat good at Counter-Strike, but lousy people and loads of cheaters keep me from playing online. Now I mainly play with bots. Saves me the trouble of dealing with drama and people who have to take shortcuts to win.

I mainly stopped playing CS also because of cheaters/hackers. I even saw admins using hacks/cheats

I never really liked first-person shooters, but after playing Halo 2 with my friend, I at once had a change of heart.
