hey i think that doom 3 is like halo and halo 2 but diffrent . they have some of the same grphics . But whats cool is that the weapons are the same and they all are powerful.

The graphics of Halo 2 and Doom 3 (with the distinction that Doom 3 on a capable PC obviously looks much better than Halo 2 on the xbox) are similar. Have to love that bumpmapping in all of it's shiny glory.

However, aside from the presence of zombies, that is where the similarities between Doom 3 and the Halo series end, which makes comparison a bit difficult and mainly a matter of opinion.

The criticisms Doom 3 received were due to the fact that Doom 3 was a pre-Half-Life FPS in a post-Half-Life world. As the spiritual successor to the original Doom series and a retelling of the original story, Doom 3 was very successful. As with the original Doom, the story is not overly complex and the each weapon has only one type of firing mode. It truely feels like the original Doom in a fully 3-D environment. Doom relies on the challenge of new, tougher enemies and the lure of more powerful weapons to keep players entertained.

Halo is much more of a post-Half-Life FPS. It has a complex and engulfing story, memorable locations, moderately intelligent AI, and an innovative weapon system that keep battles fresh, even with enemies that have been seen 100 times before. Halo utilizes the rich story, limited ability to carry weapons in an environment generously filled with many viable weapon choices, and AI which adapts to its environments in combat to keep the game urgent and unique.

When I look at Halo and Doom 3, I see two different ways to create a FPS: the pre-Half-Life FPS mold, and the post-Half-Life FPS mold. While it depends on personal preferance as to which style is better, I think it is one of the clearest demarcations that can be made when comparing and contrasting FPS games.

It beats the crap out of Halo 2, but not Halo 1. But, I've only played through the storyline so far. The multiplayer really doesn't look that good.

Doom 3 is good, but it lacks good multiplayer.

Well, if you like demonic things and zombies lunging at you and things exploding in balls of blood and gore then Doom 3 is your game. But Halo never fell under that genre despite the Blood and Gore label on the rating.
Don't get me wrong, I think the screens I've seen of Doom 3 are gorgeous and I've never actually played it, but I do know what type of game it is and has been. I think Halo just has a little more to offer than demons don't you think?

Well I think that your right dude . ithink that halo can beat doom 3. But sometimes the graphics in that game are kind of wierd . But the cool thing about it is that the backgrounds are very gorgeouse . i mean look at the hell and all the other srounding they look so real .

in my opinion halo and halo 2 have a MUCH MUCH MORE indepth perception of what is happening in the story unlike doom3 its not about killing....ok it is ablut killing but not jest the shoot first ask questions later thing. yeah doom has the totaly awsome graphics but who has the money 2 go and spend $500-$2000 on a comp (BESIDES THE HOLLYWOOD FREAKS) XD jest to play doom 3. but the halo books realy set the stage for the game so u need 2 read the books if u havent.......oh and if any one disagrees with me...I CHALLENGE U 2 A SNIPER FIGHT ON HALO2 IF U LOSE U MUST CHANGE UR GAMER TAG 2 "I LIKE DOOM3 MORE THAN HALO2" AND ADMIT THAT U ONLY WATCH X--PLAY 2 SEE MORGANS b0.0.bs. >;)

It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given us the freedom to demonstrate. It is the soldier, not the lawyer, who has given us the right to a fair trial. And it is the soldier who salutes the flag, who serves the flag, whose coffin is draped in the flag that allows the protester to burn the flag.Father Dennis Edward O'Brien, USMC

I enjoy Doom 3s co-op online way. Nothing better then running down the hallway with afriend using a chainsaw to cut apart demons from hell.

If Halo had online co-op then alot of people especialy me would be happy.

Oh and by the way the DOOM movie comes out in October staring teh Rock has the nameless marine

Doom 3 is a good game but compared to Halo and Halo 2 it is just another FPS. It's too dark, linear, repetitve, straightfoward and uninnovative. Doom may have been the beginning of FPS's but it hasn't changed since well.......... the begiinig of FPS's.
