One of the Google ads I saw just a moment ago:

RuneScape vs. Halo 2 - Which one has better graphics? Cast your vote now! (or something like that)

Um, is Runescape a PC game? That'd make the comparison rather unfair, as computers seem to have much better resolution than TVs (or at least much better resolution than my TV, hm. I'm no expert.)

Disregard that; there's a PC version of Halo. Here's a nice screen. Nice grass texturing, wonder how they did it.

As for runescape... I looked it up, and I think the ad must have been a joke. I won't link you any screens of that ugliness.

EDIT: I like how the guy's hand is taking up half the screen. That feature must be real helpful in a firefight.

Hell yeah. It keeps you from getting distracted by things like incoming projectiles and the like.

It is only taking up most of the screen because the players overheated the gun and fired it...

Put down Halo if you like (despite popular opinion, you can have a opinion)But there is still no comparison between Halo and Runescape...

I tried Runescape once...I got killed by a roaming cow within 30 minutes of starting .

Any fool can use a computer. Many do. 
That says nothing about the quality of Runescape however

People either seem to like Half-Life or Halo, rarely both.

Halo 1 > Half-Life 1
Halo 2 < Half-Life 2

It's the same with doom and wolfenstein.

Wolfenstein 3D > Doom

I think it's a common thing in the FPS genre...

I wasn't using that to criticize Runescape... I was just telling you why I hate it so much... Stupid cow

Though Sabre tried clarifying, I wasn't sure if it was clear enough, so:

The guy's hands/gun are taking up half the screen since he just fired, and the screenshot was cleverly taken *just* as the gun points upward briefly, the gun pointing upwards briefly because you've fired too much in a certain amount of time, causing it to overheat; when a Covenant (alien) gun in Halo overheats, it takes a couple of seconds to cool down and return to normal usage.

I probably should've broken that down into more than one collective sentence. Oh well.

FYI, scratchmaster, I love Halo and Half-Life both. Though, the single-player portion of Half-Life dominates Halo's, while the multiplayer portion of Halo.. well, I'm much more familiar with it, I guess.

I'd rather play Deus Ex. Then again, I'm not that big on FPS games.

Uh... unless you're being sarcastic, or your complete inability to add punctuation to your messages is relaying a different message than intended, I'd like to say that there are aliens in Halo. Lots of 'em. Have you even played it?

Halo is better then Half-life.
Half-life is better then Halo.

It all depends on personal opinion. You
cannot force someone to believe that one
game is better then another. <shrug>
its down right stupid..
Though.. The fight between Halo and
Runescape.. Well theres no comparrison...
Halo is so much better Just kidding!
Never liked Halo or Runescape myself.

Half-life: Not good.

What?!?! Blasphemer! I loved it. Who cares if the graphics are outdated? Not I. Am I the last person who still likes low or even non-graphical games? Gotta love Zork.

We're comparing the graphics here, compared to some of the later games, it's graphics aren't so good.

You know, I say Runescape is better. I played part of Halo 2 with one of my friends and I found absolutely no interest in it. Runescape's graphics aren't the best in the world but I like the 2000 person multiplayer.
