Doom 3 made me afraid to walk downstairs to get food at night. It made me sleep with a nightlight once again, and a handgun. Halo did none of that other than make me have fun for 1 day.

I played Doom 3 on the PC...it was just ok. I'm not a PC gamer so getting used to the keybord was hard. Doom 3 is very dark...so dark that it affects gameplay negatively. I couldn't see where the hell to go! I was getting killed by zombies I couldnt see. Whip out your flashlight...see zombie...put flashlight away...get gun...get freakin killed in the slow process!!!!!!!!! I like Halo on Xbox better.

Wow, a thread about both Doom and Halo that has not turned into a flame war. Keep up the good work.

I have not played Doom 3 yet, but am an avid fan of both Halo and the original Doom series. When comparing Doom 3 and Halo, one must remember that while they are both first person shooters, they have contrasting purposes. The basic idea of the Doom 3 single player experience is to place the player inside the scariest horror movie ever made. From what I have heard, it has done that. (Check out Computer Gaming World's review of it.) Halo, on the other hand, is a sci-fi story of complex plot twists and revelations. I think that each game is very good at being what it was intended to be.

If it wasnt for Doom there would be no Halo or Marathon!


Sorry to say Captin_Ridley, but that is not true. Marathon was in development at and around the same time as Doom, so there could not have been a Doom influence. Also, in just about every way, Marathon was far superior to Doom, so claiming that it somehow stemmed from Doom seems a little silly. Much the same way Halo started out as a sci-fi version of Myth, Marathon started out as a sci-fi version of Pathways into Darkness, which was around long before Doom. So Marathon's roots were around even before the existence of Doom.

Anyway, I think Halo and Doom 3 are both very good at being the games they were designed to be.

Graphically, Doom 3.
Gameplay, Storyline, Halo.
Doom 3 is just a straight up "Grab the biggest gun and shoot" game. Not much of a story, but it's so pretty it makes up for it. Whereas Halo has an excellent story, and amazing gameplay.

Hal is an absaloute classic! Nothing will ever surpass Halo in an FPS for a long, long time (except Halo 2 lol). I'm not being unkind about Doom, but I just think any other FPS game for a long time will be able to get the perfect mixture of action and storyline like Halo did.

Yeah, Doom 3 scares me too, yet I can still walk in the dark.....cause I can take an Imp with my bare hands.......and it has better graphics.But Halo gives you more freedom.

I played Doom 3 on the PC...it was just ok. I'm not a PC gamer so getting used to the keybord was hard. Doom 3 is very dark...so dark that it affects gameplay negatively. I couldn't see where the hell to go! I was getting killed by zombies I couldnt see.

That's why I have a mod for doom that adds a flashlight to a few of my guns. Haha.

Halo. Duh. D3 couldn't beat Halo if Halo was only one short level.

What kind of answer do you think you would get on a Halo forum?

Doom 3 is the supermodel of video games: pretty but empty. It is, in my opinion one of, if not the, best looking video game on the market. But I have no desire to play it more than once. I mean, people complain about halo having repetative levels, but never mind the fact that 99% of the gameplay of Doom 3 consists of: enter room, zombies appear, player kills zombies, player enters next room. I mean, c'mon Id, I know you are primarily a graphical technology company, but you could put a little more effort into it.

And don't get me started on the story (or rather, lack of story) in Doom 3. No, Halo, while still not in my top 5 games, is FAR better than Doom 3 ever will be.

Also, every interview I have ever seen of John Carmack makes me want to punch him. He just comes off as an elitist prick.

Lol. Short but true. I think most of the people on these forums are massive Halo fans.

I say HALO, for sure!

Although the doom series got me started on First Person Shooters, adn Doom 3 kicks ass, Halo is the BEST Shooter i've ever played!

i say that because of the massive multiplayer capabilities. when your going LAN, there are so many ways to play, and you can play online with XBC.
