Yeah, and Pokemon is a complex RPG, I guess.

Tactics (tac-tics)
n.
1.a. (used with a sing. verb) The military science that deals with securing objectives set by strategy, especially the technique of deploying and directing troops, ships, and aircraft in effective maneuvers against an enemy: Tactics is a required course at all military academies. (Purpose: Getting more kills isn't tactics)
b. (used with a pl. verb) Maneuvers used against an enemy: Guerrilla tactics were employed during most of the war. (A particular way of achieving goal-oriented military campaigns, again, beyond simply killing moar)
2. (used with a sing. or pl. verb) A procedure or set of maneuvers engaged in to achieve an end, an aim, or a goal.

And you're right, I do hate Halo. It's a shitty game series.

You're just further proving my point
I fail to see how an rpg has these qualities and halo doesn't

It doesn't have them particularly in-depth, but a strategy game definitely does unless you fail at them.

Also, make sure you aren't confusing these with tic tacs.

Problem? :troll:

Thats what I said lol
<-has played too many 2v2 starcraft2 games where my partner is a noob and tries the epic strategy of "building as many guys as he can and then trying to attack the other teams base" with no tactics and then gets raped and rage quits leaving me to play 2v1 lol

The point is halo is still tactical, whether you like the game it or not lol
(however I will agree that there are many people who just run out and try to kill everything, but that's what we call a noob, in fact slayer(the team/deathmatch gametype) is pretty untactical(and boring), because it usually attracts the most noobs, this is why us war clanners usually mostly play CTF, Territories, Oddball etc, which do take tactics, especially with the loadout system they added.)

Anyways it mostly depends on if noobs are playing or not, in any genre.

I'll agree that PC shooters are more precisebut for me it's not as fun. I like to sit in front of my 60" TV and play, not a computer monitor. (My monitor is 28" though lol)

Yeah it isn't as precise, but everyone is on a level playing field so its fun, you guys just need to lighten up, its just a fun console game, it doesn't have to be the evolutionary shooter game that redefines the word "videogame", you just have to be able to have fun with your friends on it and that's all that really matters
