<div class="IPBDescription">So many choices...</div> Halo 2 or Doom 3; What game do you think is better and why?

I will post my choice later on as to not corrupt the outcome of the ideas that will be posted here.

    Halo 2 as the first halo was more fun than HL bumper cars, flying round in banshees, driving warthogs while carrying marines with you. The weapons were fun. Halo 2 looks better than doom 3 as the environments look better than that of doom 3, driving vechiles will be fun, playing it over xbox live for online co-op, adorable little grunts, your a 8 foot tall cyborg, jumping on a ghost then kicking the driver off, nice graphics. doom 3 you just run round in dark corridors while the game trys to scare you.

    and Half life 2

    Ok, ok, so maybe I should have noted that we all know Halflife 2 pwns all. But thats the reason why this is Halo 2 vs Doom 3, because I want to get peoples' opinions on those games alone without HL2. For clerification before someone claims "You dirty so and so, you like (Halo2/Doom3) more than HL2!!!": I fully support Halflife 2 more than any other upcoming video game title.

    I vote for Doom3 graphic-wise, but Halo2 definently beats it gameplay-wise.
    Now, if we're talking about OLD Doom...
    DOOM2 = pwndid all

    Out of those two choices, DOOM III definately.

    Out of DOOM III and HL2? I'll never tell. ;)
  • BioHazBioHaz Join Date: 2002-02-18 Member: 226Members
    Not being an xbox owner, I would have to go with HL2 also, however I think Halo 2 will be more fun than Doom 3. Im expecting Doom3 to fall flat after the first month or so, but I hope it proves me wrong. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I'll definately have to go with Doom 3. Be it for the sole reason that the first Halo was appalling. It was just a horrendously bad game with dire level design and about as much fun as having surgery done on your eyeballs without anaesthetic.

    Doom 3 looks absolutely stunning and atmospheric as hell. I'm absolutely certain i'll buy this, and Halo 2, well, heh, lets hope it's even remotely better than it's predecessor.

    I dunno. Doom 3 is based on a classic game, but I LOVE Bungie + Halo, and NO ONE can deny that Halo 2 DOES look amazing.
  • KenichiKenichi This is not a pie. Join Date: 2002-11-01 Member: 2941Members, NS1 Playtester
    honestly i would get all 3.

    Halo 2: halo 1 wasnt really anything fancy. it was fun, and it excelled when lanning at college for the muliplayer. The weapon selection was tiny and the level design was never anything fancy, but i still had fun with it because of co-op. Halo 2 looks to improve greatly on all the flaws of the first game, and with my friends at college im sure we will lan this game far too often and will love it just the same.

    Key reason to buy, mulitplayer aspects.

    Doom 3: Graphically i don't see anything special here. The overall lighting of the game is fantastic but thats about it. Much of the glory that doom 3 once held for me has faded now that ive seen other games do similar things. Combined with the fact doom 3 has a iffy multiplayer support i'm not entirely sure.

    Key reason to buy, spooky atmospheric story telling and eviroments.

    HL2 still owns all since it pwns you. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    as fo which to buy, it depends on what you want. I would get them all since they all excell in their own areas of expertise. If i had to choose....halo 2. Doom 3 while cool would be like a 1 or 2 time game. Play the single player then im done. Woo. However, if you have lots of friends halo 2 promises insane multiplayer. Multiplayer as we all know gives a game insane replay value.

    I agree with DOOManiac... Doom III instead of Halo 2 (I don't really care because I don't have an X-bot).

    DIII vs. HL2, sorry but HL2 all the way (Hope you don't kill me DOOManiac because of this <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->).

    I plan on buying HL2, DX2, and possibly DOOM 3. I've just got no interest in the whole Halo franchise.

    To me, the entire point of Halo is co-operative play. My answer is the same as Nem0's, but replace "Doom3" with "Halo 1 for PC" (if it has co-op, I'll consider it.)

    I don't "like" either more than the other.. I'm generally loth to decide something like that before I have played a game. Nevertheless, I'm more enthusiastic about Doom 3.

    Multiplayer aspects of games are key for when I'm buying a game that I want. Every game I own for my PC, aside from the two GTAs, and the occursed Morrowind, are online multiplayer. I'm into multiplayer so much more than single player that I havn't even finished single player on Halflife.

    DOOManiac just doesn't want to admit that ID is a few yards behind valve now.

    HL2 will be better than Doom 3. Doom 3 won't suck, it will still be a good game, Half Life 2 will just be better.

    Nevertheless ! we're all going to have a awesome time playing HL2 and hopefully NS2.

    If halo 2 was for PC, definately it, but as it stands, I don't want either.
    DOOM3 looks fit to scare the pants off of me, and I don't feel like getting my pants scared off of me. Ever.
    Since I played Halo(1) when I tried out at THORN just before the Xbox started selling, I really really want the PC version; Then I can try the multiplayer that I never got to try, and finish the dam game.

    P.S the flood in halo was scary as crap for me, when 2 of the...small things got stuck outside the map, constantly making noises. *shudder*

    Great, you know about guns. Who cares if they call small Automatics Uzis, it doesn't matter anyway.
  • UnknownUnknown Join Date: 1970-01-01 Member:
    it's not that, liku.

    it's just that the comparison is made way too often. it's like.. calling everyone a boy because you didn't know that some of them were girls. or androgenous.
