Everyone knows Doom 3 is coming out in less than 2 days. I know everyone would say Halo 2 will be better, but I think Doom 3 is a huge contender for 2004 FPS of the year and Game of the Year. Gamespot did a hands on article and they say that the game is brilliant and amazing, even though it isn't truly innovative. Will you guys buy it when it comes out for PC or Xbox. I know I am. Which will you think has a better single player, considering that Id put 5 years in this game all centered on single player experience, and they are one of the top developers. I think Halo 2 will be better game overall, but Doom 3's single player just may be better than Halo 2's (I wont officially say which one till I play it)

Doom 3's gameplay (while significantly different than the original, as much as nay-sayers protest otherwise) won't be as fun I believe as SP Halo. It's like a survival horror thing where you just destroy monsters that come at you, not much strategy I can see aside from the awesome dramatic lighting. As for Half-Life 2, they're completely different games as well, and IMO, I dont care what graphics you think are better, Halo's gameplay is the best I've ever been blessed with playing.

i think Halo 2 has better story since DOOM 3 is a retelling of the original.However, DOOM 3 may still be a better single player experience or Half-Life 2. Halo 2 however will be the best multiplayer experience ever.Period.

I heard Doom 3 will take place as if Doom 1 and DOom 2 never existed. I saw it in an interview with the creators on the show Icons on G4techtv. They even hired a profesional sci-fi novelist to do the story, and I'm expecting the story to be amazing

It's coming out in September, i doubt it will be delayed much more since it's so close already to coming out, and as for my reasonings:

It will be much different than halo in single player. Half Life 2 will is almost like a puzzle game in the fact that so much of the enviroment can be used as a weapon as well, and there will often be several ways to solve a situation. Halo 2 will mostly be run and gun, since halo 1 was. The main thing i look forward to is online play. The first Half Life is still played today by thousands of people everyday because of the many mods (And it's almost 3 times as old as halo). All these mods add replay value, and create many types of gameplay to always keep you busy. Halo 2 will just be Halo 2 online, while Half Life 2 will allow many mods to keep things fresh. So over all, i think the online play of Half Life 2 will be better with more replay value. (Plus i prefer the keyboard control over controller anyday.)

Dooly noted. I agree, but I like Halo multiplayer better than the 1/2 life mods like counterstrike,

Take your PC gaming fetish somewhere else. Keyboard and Mouse is a whole different experience, one I dont appreciate or enjoy much myself. So I'm biased to a game like Halo 2 anyways. Halo's online multiplayer will revolutionize, even better than Half-Life.












So There.

This is a good example as to how these games will apply to different audiences. Though the multiplayer of Half Life 2 will still be all action.

How will it revolutionize online gaming? It doesn't introduce anything new really.

How about 8 on 8 with no lag, whatsoever. It's something they've been talking about, and something I hope for. What other game promises great connections and NO drops, since they're using the new system of changing hosts when one drops.

That's just one way, many things they are doing we dont even know about yet.

As for the no lag, i'll have to see it to beleive it. As for the changing hosts when one drops, socom 1 and 2 for the ps2 already do that.
