@AwesomeGamer4 Im not saying valve didnot work hard on there games im saying most if not all the games they got were mods made from the community that valve purchased giving them a ton of games that they did not make just bought. technicly valve made half life and left 4 dead but even left 4 dead came from another company that valve bought. And no bungie did not have the money from the start they only partnered up wi ms when they started halo. And halo is not there first franchise.

@AwesomeGamer4 that is one comment im willing to agree with
July 11th, 2010 at 10:43 pm
you know what. i agree they are both equal
July 11th, 2010 at 11:01 pm
you think valve didn’t put time and effort into there games. SIX YEARS spent making halflife 2 and making a new engine and bungie did have money from the start because they are with microsoft which is the WEALTHIEST company on earth. AND the episodes werent full games they were twenty bucks each and they sold like six games for the price of one. you can’t pay your way to success, that doesnt even makes sense. they built there own game engine from scratch. bungie didnt

@AwesomeGamer4 Bungies put time and effort to improve the series explain how all this would be dlc there is simply to muct content and to say that all of this should be dlc than half life 2 and its episodes should have been dlc not games themself and if you think about it real hard valve had the luxury of having the money and resourse from the start so they could pay there way to success. Bungie began with one guy in a basement and had to earn where they are today.

@AwesomeGamer4 the gameplay and works exacly the same even noticed the same sound effects from half life to portal. And explain to me this so in order for a game franchise to be good it has to change the entire fill and gameplay of it predicessor and lose its identity for it to be great. half life one and two same gameplay at core new weapons enemies and enviroments same as halo only halo had more changes even to its multiplayer. Valve and bungie are great in there own way but no one is better.

@AwesomeGamer4 redesigned and gained new abilities new maps improved graphics , customizable characters, and custom games gaining great deal more customization allowing hundreds of gametypes to be made. and how is it fair to say valve is the only company that is great when if not for halo most fps today would not exist and even if they had they would be very different to what they are now. Halo reach is add the biggest changes to the franchise . And the way I can tell portal is just a mod is

@AwesomeGamer4 explain how all the halos are the same. halo one didnot have reviving health and had to rely on health packs, very few effects ,weapons and all vehicles was indestructable. halo 2 new weapons more vehicles, better effect, graphics and phyisics than halo 1 , reviving health system, new enemies, maps , vehical became destructable and we gained the ability to duel wield and had online multiplayer. halo 3 new weapons better physics , forge add more replay theater, enemies got

@AwesomeGamer4 dont forget thir allso better then infinity word , and pretty much valve is teh best
July 12th, 2010 at 4:35 am
and that is very unfair what you said about valve and their games just being mods. look at halo did. they all look the same. WTF so how is that argument valid if bungie does the exact same thing even worse than valve eh….. its just unfair. i could sell anything if i put a bungie sticker on it. and you say portal isn’t an actual game JUST BECAUSE it is made by the same people as half life.. it never says that it is a rival
July 12th, 2010 at 5:03 am
and i have never heard of those games. let me google for a second…….. OK now i see what you did there. now rockstar is a absolutely masterful gaming company that is very good at making games and as you can see bungie DID infact come up with the idea but canned it because they did not think it would be succesful and rockstar picked it up and made the you know… GAME. marathon myth is not succesful and i could not find the other anywhere. and..
July 12th, 2010 at 5:10 am
AND…… valve is still better because they’re games are so inovative and their games are so varied from puzzle games to shooters and appeals to everyone. They improved all of their sequels and not just updated the graphics like bungie did with halo. And what about all bungies different titles. you didn’t even name one except the halo series…. WTF don’t argue if you can’t dispute the claim
July 12th, 2010 at 5:27 am
and all that you just said could have been DLC. making a download for dual weapons should not be hard to program and vehicles were in all the halo’s so…. the only thing different between the different games is the box art and missions which by coincedence can also be made as a DLC. so bungie made some money of the same game three times and valve has made succes by you know…. working and not milkin the cash cow

@AwesomeGamer4 feature in most shooter games today and gave the world a glimse of a online personality through customiziation. Halo 3 was host to the first console beta, offer up even more customization giving u a truely unique character. The inclusion of forge gave halo 3 alot more replay and theater that help the world of machinima and allowed to make screen shots and film clips to share with friends and became one of the most popular feature to halo behind forge.

@AwesomeGamer4 halo did not improve my ass all three iteration of halo has revolusionised the fps market. halo one introduct amazing graphic and intellegant ai, vehicals became part of the gameplay now , weapon were now limited to two weapons instead of every weapon in the game adding strategy and skill to the game. halo 2 gave an amazing only multiplayer that became a staple for most if not all console shooters. halo 2 reviving health system became popular in gaming culture and is now a common

@AwesomeGamer4 path ways into darkness , marathon myth, oni. portal is not a new ip because apature science is a rival of blackmesa so its in the half life universe. team fortress and counterstrike are mods that valve bought not made and they were mods made from halflife so technically all valve has is half life and left 4 dead . I dont concider mods expectally mods not made by valve as new breaking games regardless there success.
July 12th, 2010 at 7:27 am
name three really succesful francises they have made. valve has made the portal series, half life series, left 4 dead series and a string of succesful independant games like counterstrike and team fortress. now you tell me some absolutely groundbreaking games that bungie have made. halo doesnt count because it isnt even that good is it. they didnt even improve anything through the entire three games
July 12th, 2010 at 8:09 am
VALVE FTW
July 12th, 2010 at 8:51 am
They have have screenshots of the new Steam… But this is from 2009…
July 12th, 2010 at 9:10 am
If Rockstar,Infinity Ward,Dice etc joined up,they wouldn’t live up to the height of Valve!
July 12th, 2010 at 9:29 am
@AwesomeGamer4 bungies in their time has made numorous types of games from fps to third person games, to rtss. Halo was there most succesful francise not their only one.
July 12th, 2010 at 10:27 am
@Wartooth6 host there own dedicated multiplayer server. I love valve and bungie but bungies should not only be credited by halo when they had other hits that was innovative and revoluationary at their time.
