in b4 halo fanboys

+7

want to get this at the top... a few corrections. The Railgun was in Quake _2_, and probably in more before that (some Doom DeHackED patches have one). The Heavy in TFC was obviously taken from the heavy in the original Team Fortress (the Quake 1 mod), and Miniguns have been in use in FPS since the beginning (Wolf3D). iD wins.

+3

WAIT DO SOME OF THE GUNS USE BULLETS? BECAUSE I THINK THERE WERE BULLETS IN QUAKE OMG STOLEN.

+9

this has probably been in other games as well, but the most recent to come to mind is the ability to take turrets and "fixed" gun emplacements with you was one of the selling points in Lost Planet.

f*ggy short film

Rofl, all you did was put in stuff that was copied before it. Why not do the gun in general (Halo 3 2007) (Duck Hunt 1984) OMFG THEY COPIED IT DIRECTLY. Go play some PS3 games, oh wait...you can't.

1 for effort.

lol, they also used humans I think i seened them b4 2007 u rok

+6

I don't really think you can steal the idea of a minigun. Its been replicated is so many other FPSs that it doesn't really count as theft now. But the hedgehog and shield grenades bit was obviously copied.

+1

Back in the day of Quake 1 me and a friend from highschool pumped out tons of mods just for fun. One of them was Grenade Quake, which added like 20 kinds of grenades. We had the boring old proximity grenade that stuck to walls and exploded when you got near it. We had the dog grenade that shot a dog out and it flipped and span all around like a grenade did, then when it landed it ran at somebody then exploded. We had the teleport grenade that was like the proximity grenade but when it exploded it

would teleport you to a random part of the map. We had the gravity grenade that sucked everything towards it in at high speeds for 5 seconds then exploded. Then we had the MIRV grenade that, when it exploded, would turn into 8 more grenades that would bounce twice then explode themselves. We also had the force grenade that repelled everything that got close to it and you couldn't shoot past. Looks like they aren't very original ideas after all?

on no the smg was in Resistance fall of man also.......damn for halo for taking peoples ideas!!

-2

in after halo fanboys

+2

the smg was in halo 2 noob

-3

yeah, those were the first games to feature a minigun or laser gun. What about Akira? What about miniguns and rocket launchers actually exist? This YTMND is lame.

HOLY F*CKING SH*T IN HALO YOU CAN STRAFE WHILE FIRING THEY COPIED DOOM

+14

in after halo fanboys

-3

so just because FPS's use certain ideas, no other game can?

+5

"No class" YTMND's usually involve some sex related joke. I'm dissapoined with you.

+14

Oh noes they're using weapons that look nothing like each other from other games! Banshees have the Barrel Roll oh noes they stole it from starfox. 1'ed.

+4

use plasma cannons wisely!

they didnt even rip off the barrel roll right, cuz in starfox it would deflect lazers

+3

Also the banshees can break just like Arwings, stolen.

And the Magnum is a total Rip-off of the Half-Life glock, the Shotgun is a rip-off of CS, and the Plasma Sword is a ripoff of a Lightsaber. DAMN YOU, BUNGIE!

+5

Of course FPS can copy other FPS, but is that innovation?

-25 [show comment][hide comment]

Innovation is pretty bleak and limited. Everything is based off of a real life example of weaponary and made futuristic.

Dude, I invented the gun, they stole my f*cking ideas. Thanks for making this to tell the world!

-1

I innovated this thing called a Shark Rocket and I shoot it at them. And it really annoys sharks. And then I just wade there in the water and they come at me. But I'm really good at eluding them. I know this hip move, it's something porpoises do and I then I pretend that I have a bottleneck and I stab them in the gills. And it really is effective.

+3

play shadowrun its counterstrike with magic

it is hard to make an fps truly innovative. There isnt really anything that hasnt been done before but hey, thats what innovation is all about, something no1 has ever thought of before. However the magic element of Shadowrun and Bioshock is a thought less traveled. Im sure the idea has been tried in other games but those are the first 2 that come to my mind that have executed the idea well, especially bioshock. Its not just gameplay but setting and storyline that make games standout, i.e. bioshock again

It's Halo. You can't expect innovation. If it's there, it's a bonus on top of another mindless, generic FPS.

Halo sucks. Long live Team Fortress Classic and Half-Life, ect.

hell yes!

-1

They all get their arse kicked when it all boils down to GOLDENEYE.

+1

agreed^

Team Fortress Sucks ass, valve sucks.. boring *ss games, halo is full of exciting features and fun for hours, epic fail, you fail.

lol, a video game taking ideas from other video games. Really, I never saw this before?

It does copy, but it brings _nothing_ new.

-1

Win

So what? They took some ideas from other good game and made it them better. Who cares. Halo is by far NOT the best game but it's in at least the top 20 games ever made.

No, not really. I can name 50 or so games that beat it, most of them classics.

-2

If you're talking sales, it's not near the top 20. http://tinyurl.com/2x862w

-2

it's another take on the already raped and abused collection of FPS shooters out there...it gets boring to see all these people get so hyped up about a game that's a compilation of other games, whether it's stolen stuff or not... I really don't understand what's so popular about the game... I mean, I can't find anything different from halo to mostly any other FPS game made

wow i just checked out that link... How the f*ck is pokemon so popular and for so long?

You're an idiot.

-2

AGREE

-3

f*ggy short film.

OMG every WW2 game is copying every other WW2 games weapons RAOROAROAORAORAOROAROAR

+10

5'd for Quake III. but you should change the Rail gun part to Quake II (where they first introduced it) since Railgun is classic quake weapon.... as of now. and i think that the Brute Spike Grenade should be compared to the Gears of War Grenade (which looks hella like it)

-2

This is stupid as hell. OH MEH GOD. WHO WOULD HAVE IMAGINED A PERSON CARRYING A MINIGUN? RUNNN! GOOOO! GET TO THE CHOPPAAAA!111!

+5

thank you... i love you...

-3

this sucks. so does this mean that the spartan laser copied the golden gun from goldeneye? last time i checked they were both 1 shot kills, right?

lol new weapon ideas in video games ended before pong.

Flame grenades (TF). Nail gun (Quake). Rail gun (Quake 2). The freakin' minigun (Wolf3D). The BFG9000 (Doom). The BioGun (UT... not sure if I have the name right). The "rail gun" (Jedi Knight, sticky explosive launcher). The Dark Matter Gun (Quake 4). I'll add more as I remember them.

Yea I was thinking about that (QII rail gun), if you notice I put an asterik next to where it said 2006. I used the Q4 rail gun simply because it looked alot more like the spartan laser. But yes props to QII!

-8

a rabbi laughs in your face in an attempt at a "no class" ytmnd. he gives you a "phail" and takes all your money.

5'd for TFC

You're really scraping the bottom of the barrel here.

-1

This isn't at the bottom of the barrel. This isn't below the bottom of the barrel. Hell, this doesn't deserve to be mentioned in the same sentence as barrels.

DO A BARREL ROLL!

+2

you're a moron :P

-1

Mmmm... delicious copypasta.

-1

neat

LIEK OMG HALO RIPPED OFF GUNS THAT HAVE BEEN USED IN DOZENS OF GAMES BEFORE IT Moron...

-1

Wow your a f*g, you make a f*cking retarded, pointless site with Halo 3 in the name. Sponsor it because it didnt stay on the Up and Comming, and hope that you can whore as many views/voats out of it as you can. You sir fail as YTMNDer.

Halo Stole The concept of projectile weaponry the bastards! Seriously though. . .

no. There are 90,000 better reasons why Halo sucks (even though it doesn't). OMG U HAVE GUNS JUST LIKE IN WOLFENSTEIN 3D!!! the resistance ones were the most pathetic, and 99% of FPSs rip off Quake in some way.

-1

The point isn't that Halo rips concepts and weapons from other games, the point is that it's ALL IT DOES. Every game borrows from others.

Halo 3 does it way better than any of them though.

-1

...That one gun from Ratchet and Clank? Please.

You can't mow down Nazis with the minigun. You can't rocketjump off a wall after using a jump pad. You can't...

lame

-1

fail

-1

-5 for crap site +3 for A Perfect Circle.

Seriously, this is one of the dumbest things I've ever seen, and I'm not even trying to defend halo here. Practically everything in fps games nowadays has been done before. I mean, you could name plenty of things in Resistence that already occured in previous halo games, let alone other fps's. This is just a f*cking "simpons did it " scenario, but I'll give you a 3 for giving max 5 bucks...

+3

Every successful game has a (read: one; a single; at least one; SOMETHING OF A) new element that makes it fun. Halo 3 has none.

+2

Holy sh*t you can shoot guns! what a rip off,

1 for perfect circle and paranoia

-2

dont u mean parabola? and parabola is a tool song ... lawl not apc

+1

He can't help it. I'm sure it's hard to hear music properly when the bus driver's assistant makes them keep the windows rolled up on the short bus.

I didn't buy it until the turret I mean I was wowed by the turret concept art and it turns out it's all a copied sham I don't believe this all is lies

So your a sony fanboi...that's all i got from this site.

halo has better gameplay than any of the games you mentioned.

-2

yet more people are playing cs or tfc then all 3 halos combined

+3

You're just mad because you suck *ss at Quake.

+1

Better gameplay than HALF-LIFE 2? In your dreams. Half-Life 2 was (arguably, but usually agreed) the best FPS ever made.

+1

Halo is overdone, Keep in mind, this is your oppinion bud, and from what I see, Games like Unreal tournament, Quake and any of the halflife games and their extentions are far surperior to the halo genre. Which is my oppinion and many others aswell. Dont like me saying that these games have better gameplay? Exactly how many others feel bud. take halo and shove it up a cows *ss where it truly deserves to be.

+2

Halo != gameplay. Halo == killing enemies. The moving is only in there because they ripped it off Pong.

also you didn't use the "no class" music.

-2

Everyone copies real world weapons. Pistols, Rocket launchers, Sniper rifles, and the lot are all quite popular, which is why they are still being put into games. But as far as futuristic/fantasy/sci-fi weapons, there is truly no limit to what can be created. We are no longer limited by 2d sprites, physics, or 16mb system memory. I bet everyone who surfs YTMND could come up with 10 weapons each and they wouldn't be similar. Cry all you want guys, but the truth remains. Developer laziness isn't our friend

-5

no u

+1

I've got a weapon for ya ICE BEAM! no more like a NICE BEAM! yeah

Laser Gator.

+1

Pull the trigger, for God's sake!

WOW. so your saying that halo 3 has no class for having a mini gun, a rocket launcher, jump pads, a a instant kill laser? If all fps's hadnt copied off each other in some way or fashion, the genre would of stopped at the original doom. Guess what, ut2004 also has a mini-gun. 50000 games have rocket launchers, a lot of games have jump pads, and a lot of games have weapons that kill either instant hit or instant hit with a headshot.

-1

It has no class because they're literally copying the design. from what this YTMND has provided, I can see many simularities. No class, bud.

You have failed, I am not entertained.

-1

5'ing for Halo fanboys.

-1

i dont even like halo all that much and i think this is LLLAAAAMMMMEEEE

-2

There are only so many different types of things in videogames and your blaming Halo for having some of the generic ones that make them fun. good job on being such a f*cking *ssh*le. Wow. How much brain power did it take you to pick that song?

at least the music was good.

-2

annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd downvoted. Every game copies elements from other games. Get over it.

-2

Halo copied things that other games copied from other games before them, that copied those things from games before them. Shocking.
