Resistance vs. Halo

I'm interested on people's thoughts on this. I used to have a Xbox, and played Halo as it was highly regarded as the game on the xbox (still is). However, coming from a PC background, I found it one of the most boring and repetative FPS ever and think it is highly overatted.

Now resistance is in a similar position as it is a launch title for a new console (as was Halo), and I feel that Resistance is a better FPS than Halo by far. The AI is great, with enemy's taking cover and working together, the graphics are great (perhaps shoulden't compare graphics of this and last gen), the vehicle's within single player handle a hell of a lot better, and the story more original (i like how its set in the 50's but is Sci-Fi, it's a mix of COD in some areas and then Half-Life / Halo in others.), and it is more challenging.

I know I am likely to get a biased opinion here, but it will just get ripped to shred's if posted within system wars. What do PS3 and Xbox (or ex-Xbox, like me) owners think?

I own Resistance and like the game but I think I prefer Halo but have not played it since I got Resistance.

So, coming from PC gaming you think that Halo is a repetitive FPS, but Resistance isn't?  :lol:

Halo was great, Halo 2 was good, Halo 3 is more than likely going to be great for a console FPS.

Resistance was good and they definitely have something to build on, but it definitely could've been better for a next-gen game.

Halo 2 came out years ago, and people are still trying to find games that are better than it, even in the next generation of console.  And besides, Halo became popular because of the intense multiplayer, not simply because of the campaign, which admittedly gets a little boring and comes to an abrupted ending.  Halo set a new standard for console fps and console online gaming, which have set an expectation for games in this genre.

 From what I played of FOM, everything seems very good and well-rounded, but it really hasn't broken the mold or set an new expections.  Anyway, i think a better comparison will be when halo 3 comes out, or compare it to GeOW.

Oh and by the way when you said resistence is on a next gen console just take a look at the elite it has 120 gb (twice as much as ps3) and and hdmi port and cable that supports 1080p all for $479 hate to say it but you guys got ripped!!! And screw blu-ray hd dvd is just as sharp looking. Well im gonna go enjoy my 5 day suspension see ya loserz!zerosolja
