let me settle this

Doom 3 has better graphics than Halo 2, but mind you, not much better, and why shouldn't it

Doom 3 was made for the PC and Halo 2 is being made for the Xbox

but Halo 2 is a much better game with amazing graphics, and

i should no, after all

i do _ _ _ _ their!

720p seems like a useless resolution to put in as an option for Halo 2 because a lot of HDTV's don't even display 720p. If they were smart they would put the game in 480p and anything more they could do true High-Def, which is 1080i. 720p would have limited use and most TV's would have to upconvert the signal anyway.


where the hell did that come from?
are you for real?


Yeah, do your research then come back when you have something to say that is over 2 sentences. If you need help finding HDTV resources, etc. then I can point you to some places.

the graphics from halo 2 will be 3 years old


What about Doom 3? Those are 4 years old, they started 4 years ago.

Doom 3's graphics pretty much beat almost every game out there. Their graphics easily beat Halo's or halo 2's. You guys just say Halos are better cause ur nerd fanboys.

That's stupid, they update the engines all the time, if the graphics were three years old we'd be back at halo

Speaking from experience, I can safely say this: Doom 3's graphics _OWN_ Halo 2's any day. In fact, they beat the hell out of Half-Life 2's as well. I'm running Doom 3 on a 4-year-old PC on 800x600 with medium settings and it already has better graphics. I can't even imagine how much better they'll look when my ninja rig arrives and I can pump up the resolution and settings. I do believe that Halo 2 will have better gameplay, however. Keep in mind that id Software's goal is never to make a game, more of a tech demo - they make most of their money by selling their omnipotent engines to other companies. Almost every first person shooter that came out a few years ago was powered by id's Quake III engine. Also, the multiplayer is not limited to 4 players - soon mods will be released that make all kinds of changes and vastly expand the multiplayer component, after all the Doom 3 engine does have the most potential seeing as how its lighting and special effects are so good they don't even exist in Half-Life 2 or Halo 2.

Uh, x6ax, he's right. It's time to admit defeat. The only reason you can't see his proof is because your computer probably isn't good enough to start to install Doom 3 on, and if it is you have made a serious error by not already having this great title.

You had some good points but you are not speaking from experience because there is no way you have played the final builds of 2 of the 3 games you were comparing. When you can play Half-Life 2, Doom 3, and Halo 2 all for the PC or all for the Xbox then you can make those comparisons.

In fact, saying one is better than the other in any way is pretty pointless at this point and all the opinions are going to be biased and full of speculation.

Uh, I have played (I'm just getting to the Delta Labs - I'm almost half-way through if what Gamespot says is accurate) Doom 3 on PC. And if you have a problem with me comparing it with two games that aren't out yet, complain to the thread starter. After all, I was simply responding to the question.

Wow. You are thick. Every one of these new games uses bump mapping. In fact, bump mapping has been used in games for over four years now. Doom 3 has bump mapping, it just looks a whole lot better because of the superior lighting. The reason Doom 3's multiplayer ships with a four player limit is because of the physics, which are the best - only Half-Life 2 can challenge Doom 3 there. Halo and Halo 2 do not have physics - there are no ragdolls, corpses fly in a straight and narrow path, and don't bounce. Oh wow! I can nudge a Warthog wheel by smacking it with a rokkit lawnchur! Yay! So much fun!

No.
