First off I'm not saying Gears is better then Halo, Not starting any of that #### so DONT make this into a "LOL Gears<>HALO".

If anyone has played Gears 2 you know one of the most amazing, emotional cutscenes ever made in a recent game. Of course it's the Dom and Maria one.

THIS. It's very epic, the music is perfect, the background, everything.

It almost made me cry, and the music is amazing too (you can find it it's called Dom and Maria). So well back to Reach. Bungie needs to make something as hard hitting as this, I shat myself the first time I saw this, I was amazed, and sad.

Anyway Reach WOO!

That's not really an 'amazing' cutscene. The game is too busy focusing on killing locusts with chainsaws to develop their characters enough for me to give a -blam!- when one of them dies.

Exactly. I reckon the most epic cutscene is where that tank as guy kills himself (can't remember the name), but even then, I didn't actually care that much, due to no character development.

To be honest I thought that whole Dom and Maria thing was kinda stupid, for several reasons. And the scenes didn't really move me.

GRUNT BUD!!!!!

Well there were two problems I had with the cut scene. The first being I hate dom and the second being that Dom sounded to much like a child. He sounded like he was 10 years old crying because he lost his teddy bear, not like his wife was a well you know whatever the hell she was. I would expect more anger from dom after a while in the cutscene

Irony makes the strongest men fall to their knees!

In all honesty I thought when Master Chief fought his way through High Charity and found Cortana was an epic scene, because Master Chief, a super soldier, trained to kill, risks his life for an AI. Bungie topped Gears of Wars story by a long shot. Even though there wasn't much for a major Boss Battle, or really any hard Boss Battles at all, Bungie got Halo 3's story right.

Agreed.

Great moment in the story telling. Dont understand why people hate the level though ('Cortana' one of my favourites), might be because alot of people dont like the flood and are scared of the flood ( dont say your all not afraid because my brother who is 16 nearly 17 cant stand the noise they make, it freaks him out especially in HALO CE)

As for the Gears 2 cutscene, i loved it. Gives the game more perspective and insight and helps build character personality.

Both EPIC and BUNGIE are story telling geniuses.

I call emotional stuff in GOW 'Cliff Blezinski crap'. He's kinda like EPIC's stosh. Except less awesome. That's right Blezinski, Stosh is cooler than you. Suck it.

That cutscene struck a nerve of mine, too. I had to go to hospital.

If anything, the only scene that could come close to that, is when Linda got shot by multiple Plasma shots on Gamma Station, orbiting the under-attack Reach. Then that'll lead to the sad moment of when she dies in the Pelican, wrapped in John's arms.

If you haven't read the books, well, The Fall of Reach, then you'll have no freakin clue what I'm on about.

The moment you finally reached Cortana in the Flood infested High Charity in Halo 3, when she says "You've found me..." was FAR more emotional than the Dom and Maria scene. At least to me.

The Dom and Maria scene was done just fine, but Gears is just far too cheesy and chaotic for that type of scene to 100% click.

It probably didn't click because Dom and Marcus seemed closer than Dom and Maria.

Isn't much of a Cut scene but yeah, I don't think it was Linda, she is on the Shield World with Fred and Kelly. But more sad then that was when John and Kelly had to leave Sam behind on the Covenant ship.

The whole Halo series has had it's emotional points. I swear, when Lord Hood was explaining Cortana's broken state, and the Chief say, "I'll find Cortana's solution, and I'll bring it back." then Lord Hood say "You trust Cortana that much" and the Chief stiffens up his stance and firmly says "Sir, yes sir!" god I was like giddy like a school girl, Halo 3 made the Master Chief looks the most bad ass out of all the Halo games.

That was nothing. Bad cutscene. The fact you almost cried made me laugh when watching it.

I don't know why you guys are going on about Cortana, the final cutscene was way more epic. Damn I love Halo *plays Campaign*
