NO, but keep in mind you need a $3500 gaming rig to pull the maximum graphics out of Doom 3. I'll be waiting for both Halo 2 and Doom 3 to come out on Xbox, thank you very much.


no you dont. you can have an ati 9800 and and athlon 64 3000+ to pull max graphics out. fairly easy to achieve

doom is better, but not by much, i like them both, but halo a lot more, half life 2 will have same graphics, but a lot better bump mapping than both. halo2 is still my favorite though, by a lot.


you are a true retard

everyone knows that halo 2 is the king of bump mapping, not half life 2

I saw it. Halo 2's bumpmapping is better.

Doom 3 on the PC (if you have a good enough PC) has better graphics. Saying otherwise is just stupid. That doesn't mean Halo 2 won't look great. Halo 2 does look quite remarkable especially considering its on the aging Xbox hardware. Halo 2 will almost certainly be a much better game too :)

I have Doom 3 on the best of the best quality... and to be honest if you didn't know that it was a game, you would think its a high quality video feed from someone walking through hell. I can't even imagine graphics better than that, its just so life like. Halo 2 will be great but the only way it can make its graphics look better is by bump mapping because it has to run on 3 year old XBOX hardware. I believe that Doom 3 will hold reign of best graphics for a long time to come. (of course a long time in the world of video games is a year)

If you are going to think like that, which is completely asinine, keep in mind that Doom 3 was in the making for four years, which is longer than Halo2.

why is it asinine, you think that just because it had more time to develop it has better graphics? Its impossible for Halo 2 to have the graphics of Doom 3, the hardware is too old! If Halo 2 came out on PC first and keeping in mind that who knows how many people work for id and how many for bungie. If bungie has more employees working on Halo 2 than id does working on Doom 3, then Halo 2 would be done quicker and better than Doom 3.

i agree that halo 2 will be visually pleasing. its astonishing for the xbox. but the new engines getting developed outmatch the halo engine. just the facts.

the graphics from halo 2 will be 3 years old


wtf, and Doom 3 has been in development for longer, that doesn't mean the graphics are as old as the game.

Halo 2 on the Xbox will probably be worse because it is hardware limited. Doom 3 has incredible graphics but if the game isn't up sto stuff then whats the point. I havent played it personally (i'll wait for the Xbox version), but the reviews all seem to say that it's a good game but nothing spectacular, and the graphics are really the only lasting hallmark of the game, not exactly what I would shoot for if I were a game designer.

Good computer vdpd2005, although you could have built your own for 1/2 the price.

You can build a machine for about 700 dollars to max out graphics on Doom 3.

Plus halo 2 will only be offered in 480i so there really wont be a comparison.

yeah thanks, I guess I got all caught up in having an alienware even though I knew that I could buy it for much less. Imagine I'd have a better car if it wasn't for this computer. Oh well I like this computer alot, and in the future I'll just upgrade the case. But come to think of it now that the BTX cases are coming out I might not be able to upgrade this alienware case.
