Halo 3 vs. Resistance 2... who wins?

Serious question for people who have played both.

I got the R2 beta a few weeks ago and I'm sad to say that the competitive multiplayer just feels kinda lame. I think I even liked the first resistance multiplayer a bit better. The 60 player online feels messy, while the controls don't feel as tight as other FPS's. I was pretty disappointed with it altogether.

I'm looking foward to the R2 campaign though, so hopefully it will redeem itself in my eyes. The Halo 3 campaign was pretty generic IMO...

Anyway, how would you compare the two games?

i LOVED the beta. can't wait for the real game :P

as for halo 3, i was let down. halo 1 is still the best in my book

Just played the beta last night and the 8 player co-op is crazy fun, but the 60 player online just didn't play all that hot IMO

overall Halo3 but close

you cant compare, a game a year old vs a game not even released yet, Animal-Mother

Agree.

R2 is not EVEN out yet, and dont say "Ive seen teh videoz", it dosent count. and the MP was in Beta, so dont just go off what the beta showed.

Resistance 2 beats Halo 3 in SP and graphics, but when it comes to multiplayer, its Halo 3.kamikaze-jk

I was shock to how bad the graphic are in the beta, from what I played last night Halo3 wins in graphics easy

but again it was just a beta

yeah the most you can do with game play videos is predict a score, and even then it's not gonna be very accurate. but like you and I said the game isn't even released yet, and halo 3 has aged well, and will age will for all of eternity. But after playing the R2 beta, it seems prettyy epic

Can't really say for sure, since I haven't tried R2 yet.

Halo 3 was a huge disappointment in terms of multiplayer and singleplayer though.

I know resistance 2 isn't out yet, but I think it'll end up like this..

Resistance 2 with a better single player and Halo 3 with a better multiplayer.

I think it's unrealistic to expect it to be better than Halo 3. It doesnt have a three year development cycle and a whole studio devoted to it like Halo does. It's better to expect a solid and enjoyable game rather than over-hype things as the Halo-killer.Ninja-Hippo

Ive been having a blast with the R2 beta

But its not Halo 3 thats for sure

I'd take Halo 3. But R2 still looks like a great improvement over the first one.

Then again I'd take Halo 3 over (nearly) any game this gen.

R2 hasn't come out yet so there is no comparision.

I do love my FPS's and I would have to say so far, Halo 3. I admit I have not played anything other than the beta for R2, but while at first glance the graphics may seem 'superior', I think its more down to the different art styles of the two games than anything. Either way, I love them both so it's not a factor for me.

In terms of gameplay, I would say Halo 3 because it feels a lot more gung-ho and I prefer the 360 controller. Story-wise also, I have been immersed in the Halo storyline over the entire trilogy and I'm not a huge fan of the Resistance story (not bad, but average)...so no fight there.

As for online, I still don't have enough faith in PSN to rate it over Xbox Live. I will only have 16 player matches max but then, more is not always better (especially with a team full of noobs) and it will be smoother for sure.

So Halo 3 I think, over R2 but it's not going to stop me from getting Resistance and enjoying every bit of it.
