Im tired of people calling halo 3 a halo 2.5. god of war was short and the same thing as the first one. No depth in the combat at all just a bad *** character to carry the game. What do people want from it. No one has seen the single player campaign and you cant do much in the mp online department. Thats what sequels are, you further the story along adding things to it. No one attacks games like mgs because the story is so good. Its the same basic gameplay with more moves, guns, and a camo system with each installments. Look at the FF series and the last three games....ff10 great, ff11 only online dont need to say more, ff12 cool battle system but story was weak. I guess i needed to get that off since peope like hatin on halo 3.

Funny how something can look depending on which side of the fence you sit.  The bottom line is - both are sequels that didn't want to stray too far from the formula that got them where they are.  We see it all the time in games and in movies, too, for that matter.  Go with what works, tweak the formula a bit, but don't mess with it too much.

I thought halo 2 was halo 1.5, so halo 3 would be halo 2. :D. Just ignore these fanboys, all of them are annoying.

If GoW3 looks almost exactly the same as GoW2 even though it is on a new console, then you can call it GoW2.5. GoW2 is a direct story based sequel on the same platform. Halo3 multiplayer looks like a Halo2 expansion pack.

GOW 1 + 2 were both on the PS2 so they were expected to be similar. Halo 2 was on the original Xbox and Halo 3 is on the far superior Xbox 360. If Halo 3 DOES end up being just Halo 2.5, that really is sad.

Despite that, expect Halo 3 to be awesome.

Did you play GoW2? There was so many new things going on in the weapons, moves, and platforming. Did you want them to make a First person shooter with Kratos?

More moves weapons and platforming....sounds like the "halo 2.5" comparison to halo 2 spoken in the language of fanboyism. But i see what your saying it is a sequel and a great one at that.

What does Epic have to do with this? GoW = God of War, Gears of War is GeoW.

halo 2 = last gen

halo 3 = current gen

a lot of people are dissappointed because the jump in generation has not shown a significant increase.

 

GOW 1 = last gen

GOW 2 = last gen

GOW 2 improved on what GOW 1 delivered in every category.  THESE ARE BOTH ON THE SAME GEN!

I hope you can see the fault in your post and why you cant make the same comparison with GOW.

Since when did the graphics of a game's beta represent the final graphic build? I don't see logic in teh fanboyism.

errrr just no...  im not bashing halo 3 at all but i am very dissappointed on how its turning out to be.  i have both halo 1 and halo 2 because i am a big fan..but i feel like halo 3 is not making the jump that a next gen title should.  I have GeoW and in my opinion is eclipsing the series that is halo.  so please save your ridiculous reasoning because anyone who is not a blind fanboy can clearly see how similar halo 2 and halo 3 look.

 hmm you must have never taken part in a beta..since it is very rare when a beta is graphically inferior to the final product.  beta testing is used to find bugs, glitches, etc so that they can be fixed before the official release.  as a matter of fact, i cant think of any beta that didnt have the same graphics/visuals as their final product!

You must not have played both of them then, or if you have, you payed no attention to the many improvements. And I mean many. I can't list them all atm, but stuff like all new puzzle elements (stopping time, etc.) and much more playability.

GoW 2 was THE perfect sequel in my and many's opinions. Just stop.

Did those betas come out 6 months before the game's release.Â
