half-life 2 looks stupid. doom 3 looks retarted and halo 2 will be better that any other game. halo 2 will be 10x's better than halo.

half life two and doom three, while still looking amazing, are old storylines with no new features, theyre basically just graphical updates, halo 2 on the other hand is a relatively new game (only 5 years since announcement where as the other two are both in excess of 10 years) which is still a fresh idea with new features coming in. i agree on the boring and dull on the doom 3 and half life 2 is still running on the carrying 15 weapons with 9999 shots which is a bit old and worn now.

so halo 2 all the way.

I'm gonna get them all since they all look good. Half Life 2 will have the advantage of all the modders, and lots of mods mean lots of replay value. Doom 3 will be the return of a classic, though i don't like the idea of only 4 guys to an online room. I don't limit myself to choosing a single game to be a favorite, if i see a good game i get it. All of these will be great.

It's all about gameplay, and that is what Halo 2 has up on all of the others.

halflife 2 looked real badass. one could compare halo2 and halflife2 as the best of the best[i dont see how doom3 makes it in here, everyone knows its going to lose out].

halflife2 has the best physics engine ever. halo2 has badasser gameplay... but then the MP E3 demo came out, and byebye half life 2. none of my friends keep up to date with that game now.

[color=lime]dude WTF are you talking about??? are you pretending that the makers of doom, one of the best FPS of all time will do no more then simply update the graphics??? How ignorant can a person get??? Why don't you TRY doing some research on the game, its nearly complete and I've actually PLAYED it at E3. How the fuc.k can you think Doom 3 will be boring and dull when the entire premise is bulit around scaring you?

It really depends which categories you're looking at. Graphically, Doom 3 and Half-Life 2 blow Halo 2 away. There's no reason to deny it. But gameplay wise... well that's another story. Doom 3 is a very reused idea, and it would make an excellent movie with all its "scary parts." But already I can tell you it's probably gonna be a very reptitive game. Half-Life 2, meanwhile, will be a close second to Halo 2. But note that with Half-Life 2 you're talking about a gme for a different system (the PC). So, in terms of graphics, my rankings are like this:
1. Doom 3
2. Half-Life 2
3. Halo 2
In termes of gameplay, it's like this:
1. Halo 2
2. Half-Life 2
3. Doom 3
In terms of new features bring brought to the table:
1. Halo 2
2. Half -Life 2 and Doom 3 - Neither bring something amazingly new to the table, although both consist of very great features, such as Half-Life 2's physics engine.
And, finally, in terms of overall anticipation by the media:
1. Doom 3
2. Halo 2
3. Half-Life 2.

[color=lime] How do you know Halo 2 has badasser gameplay then half-life 2 if you've never played it??? You are an IGNORANT FANBOY. I'm sorry but I play games that are made fun. Halo 2 will be fun but that doesnt mean the other 2 will not measure up. [/color]

[color=lime] Pretty easy to say if YOU DONT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THEM. I'm sure you've been checking the bungie weekly updates, well guess what, NEWS FLASH- Just because you don't see something doesnt mean its not there! YOU have not heard of any new features for doom3 have you??? So I guess its safe to ASSUME there arent any??? Thats what I thought... [/color]

i agree that halo 2 is gona rock, but doom 3 isnt just graphical updates. as a doom fan, i think i would know. doom 3 takes place before the first 2 games. when ur releasing the demons from hell, through a sort of warp system. so yea, it kinda has the same story line, but this will have an awesome twist. anywho, ill get both games so it wont matter for me. but im still a hardcore halo fan.

Half Life 2 is going to be a great game, with a large fan base, and so is Doom 3 (personally I think Doom 3 has the most amazing graphics of the 3, I played the beta, and its pretty nice) however, Halo 2 is gonna be the best out of the 3 because for one, its fan base, for 2, it has revolationary console graphics, and of course, is doing things that 99% of other FPS has never done before, bungie is a very creative company, these other 2 FPS games are just the same as they were, nothing new much on features.

Best gameplay: ??? - they're not out yet
Best graphics: Unreal 3
Best story: Halo 2
Best physics: Half-Life 2
Best weapons: Doom 3
Best atmosphere: Doom 3
Best realism: STALKER

Oh, and Halo is not more creative than the other two. Sorry.

Terran Grunt, what are you, a communist, Doom 3's weapons will be bland, oooh not an assault rifle with a granade launcher! Or, oh my god, a shot gun! I'd think either Halo 2 or Half life 2 have the best weapons, Halo 2 WILL have the much better story line, and its graphics look amazing as it is now, and there going to get much more better, overall halo 2 will be better than the other 2

half life 2 looks so stupid and boring. Graphics r ok, but dont compare to doom 3. Halo 2 is the best bviously. Doom 3 is second because of the scary environment and extremely good graphics. And hl2 is the worst by far.

How dare you! Don't insult the almighty Halo 2! Putting it up against those. Choose better games to "vs" against Halo 2, though Halo 2 will still win.

I know this is a biased forum to post this question in, but it'd be nice if we could have a good discussion on this topic. Bungie needs all the converts we can get them (I've already converted 5 of my friends from PC FPS's like Counterstrike to Halo) and this is the place to devise a plan.

F***ing fanboys...

Anyways, Doom 3 has a chainsaw. Best. Weapon. Evar.

And lets not forget the BFG9K!

Excuse me, do the words "Covenant Energy Sword" mean anything to you?
Ok. Last post about this little "which is better war". I don't like being in these online post wars.
