halo 2 is going to be great but it wont be the greatest ever 'cause we haven't got virtual reality properly yet, if halo had VR it would be amazing

Halo 2 won't have that good graphics. I mean, it's the best they're gonna get on an xbox's dated hardware.

It's can't compare to Doom 3's graphics and Half Life 2's physics.

But all of those other things you said are true.

Sure it won't have Doom 3's graphics. But gameplay is what counts. Even though I happen to be a graphics whore.

i have never played doom 3 but from what i was looking a on the back of the box and screenshotsit looks really good but its looks sorta the same on xbox and half life 2 whenever i saw a bit of a movie for that the cutscenes looked good but the gameplay didnt look great. halo 2 looks good in multiplayer as it did in singleplayer last E3 i cant imagine what the singleplayer is going to be

umm doom 3 isnt even out ;)

halo 2, half-life 2 and doom 3 all have bump mapping so their graphics shouldnt be that different halflife 2 has a heavily modified HAVOK physics engine wheras halo 2 has bungies own custom made physics so all three should be as good as each other

The only thing that can beat Halo 2 is another Bungie game. Half Life is stupid...Sorry yall, I just had to say it. I am sick of everyone trying to compare all thiese games that are even out out.(Most of witch are PC game fanboys) From what I seen I like Halo 2 because when you put everything together in it, I would say its looking better than Half Life 2 or Doom 3. Half Life 2 has been delayed more times than a Air plane. Doom 3 is the same darn thing with better graphics, and using the PC for gaming sucks. Most all of them are on consoles anyway, and PCs are always updating and you have to throw out cash to get them updated, and with consoles however, you only have to get a new one when they come out with one( Every 5 years), so consoles are superior, PC gamers are fanboys, Halo 2 is probly gonna be a better game than Stupid Half Life(The Delay game) and Doom 3(The game about demons). * Takes deep breath* Anyone wanna go watch the Halo 2 trailer again?

As far as the graphics differences between X-Box/Halo 2 and PC/Doom 3 go, that may well be true. However, an often overlooked advantage with a console is that it guarantees a smooth game at the maximum resolution it's capable of. I'd rather run a game at full speed and without hindrances on an X-Box (or similar) than a game with better graphics on a PC, at the cost of possible choppy gameplay and/or being forced to turn audio and resolution down. Few things take the edge off the feeling you get from a game as much as knowing things could look or sound a little better.

I totally agree with you Pixies. Exactly why I've stuck to consoles for my gaming needs. Besides I enjoyed Halo more than I enjoyed playing Half-Life for the first time, or Doom for that matter. It's more of a preference than anything. They all appeal to different tastes. None of them are terrible games.

I don't think it will be like a bigger classic than say Super Mario 3 but Halo 2 will probably be the best game on xbox and even the best game of this decade so far?

Pong is the best game ever I don't think anyone can topple Atari's classic.

On a serious note i think it will play good look good and feel good but i don't think it will make me even come close to forgetting about my Fav game of all time The Legend of Dragoon, sadly its on PS and Square Enix being the bastards that they are wont move any games to Xbox even though they would look better plus i think they're owned by sony anyway.

Uh, sorry but Halo 2 WILL be the greatest game now.If you haven't noticed there is no such thing as Home console that supports Virtual Reality.

I love Halo's graphics engine, it's to die for. Half-life 2 is going for photo realist look, Doom 3 is going for sic-fi graphics. Halo 2 haves it's own graphics. I like Halo 2 graphics, but most people would say doom 3 beats them both in graphics.
Gameplay is where Halo 2 is the best at, it's awesome. Good banlacne/weapons/vehicle/grenades/turrents, Halo just feels great, and I know Halo 2 will be even better. Half life 2 gameplay will be nice aswell but nothing like Halo 2. I not sure about Doom 3 gameplay. Phyiscs will be close between Halo 2, and Half-life 2.

Gameplay: Halo 2, Half-life 2, then Doom 3
Multiplayer: Halo 2, Half-life 2, then Doom 3
Single player: Halo 2, Half-life 2/Doom 3
Graphics: Doom 3, Halo 2, then Half-life 2
Physics: Half-life 2, Halo 2, then Doom 3
Replay: Halo 2, Half-life, then Doom 3
Over all: Halo 2, Half-life 2, then Doom3

ok, im going to agree with the person who made this thread cause most of you dont... halo 2 will be the best game ever, and the physics in halo and halo 2 are better than half life/half life 2, wtf r u thinking?

  • 07.23.2004 9:23 AM PDT

Half-Life physics are near perfect...Everything makes the right sound and has the right weight etc. So Half-life 2s physics will almost definately br better than Halo 2's...

Nearrr!!! Think of it this way, halo was on the box, half life was sh1t and was on pc, half life 2 and doom 3 have taken AT LEAST 2 times longer to be made, plus ive seen trailers for both and i think halo 2 was a lot better. Amen

hahahaha... gotta love The Legend of Dragoon, it and its many resemblances to power rangers (shut up, its true). That game was cool.

PS: waddaya mean "sadly" on PS?

PPS: squeenix sucks. Square(soft?) owns! (the Japanese comp. not the crappy american company.)

EDIT- how can you say half life was sh1t? you clearly are just a fanboy and know nothing of FPS's. Half Life redefinied the genre with quality graphics and gaming, Not to mention "game of the year" awards from over 50 publishers. AND...it still is widely played after many many years since release.
