640p > 720p?

Resistance looks better, has destructable enviorments and has more units on screen at once.

Since you won't answer him I will

The reason why Resistance has more players online is because the laggy peer to peer online play of Xbox Live would create too much lag. Also the 360 can barely handle the game as it is, that's why they down scaled it to non HD standard defintion 640p

fanboy any one?

Its very simple, 9.5 to a 8.6!

Because MS uses p2p instead of dedicated servers.Zhengi

I don't think people realise that Developers can put dedicated servers on Xbox live, there are several games out already that use dedicated servers. Even when games have both P2P and dedicated servers its seems like people prefer the P2P more than the uncontrollable dedicated servers.

Halo MP boring and dull...unless you consider getting

Resistence came out 06' and H3 came out 07'....Resistence does have better graphics...9.5?Who cares about another persons opinion of game?Obviously you...

Resistence has more players...

One game is just plain boring and the other one is overated, I'll leave you to figure out....

dude stop the damage control its like the 3rd highest rated game on gamerankings unlike Resistance

Down? im not talking about the reliability of the servers, its that the servers unlike on PC (which can be controlled by users) are life less because no one can control them. Once you start playing you cant change the rules, kick people, or set up teams these are the things that seem to be turning people away from the servers. I play rainbow six vegs on the 360, there is the option to play dedicated servers but these servers are usually dead, and when you try to get people to play on them they tend to not want to. I personally dont have lag while playing P2P, but im sure some people do so its a definite plus to some.

I never said that dedicated servers dont have there advantages. Im just stating that their are games with dedicated servers on Xbox live, which according to most, dont exist. Also you can be just as lazy with dedicated servers, look at rainbow six vegas for the PS3 for example.

and i explained why people dont go to dedicated servers above.

lol...so far my halo 3 experience has 98% lag...so that "bu bu P2P LAGS" logic is flawed

Halo 3 looks better than Resistance.MoldOnHold

More players =/= better game. Bungie themselves stated they didn't want an overload of people, because it would take away from the personal level, and it would be too hectic anyway.

It's nice to actually have the option (plus, it's not like every Resistance tournament forces you to use 40 players).

On a large enough map, you can get a pretty cool war going.

[QUOTE="MoldOnHold"]Halo 3 looks better than Resistance.Pariah_001

and a 9.5 that has cows on damage control!!:lol:

While Resistence looks better ?

Its nothing to do with graphics. Bungie did their research and found out that most people didnt even like 16 player games in Halo 2 so they figured the added expense of dedicated servers was not worth it. I for one like 8-10 players the best. In BF2 I never play on servers larger then 32 players.

One thing that bothers me is why Resistance and Warhawk were basically given the same score when Resistance had much more to offer than Warhawk.

Warhawk could've have gotten a 9.0 because it didn't have a story or single player, but Resistance did, sure it might've been un-orginal but it had a story at least and a single player.

I didn't complain about that until Warhawks review came out. I wouldn't have complained if Warhawk was given a 8.0, but both games were given the same score practically with out any explaination. The reviews of both are just inconsistent and confusing.

why does PDZ handle 32 people online just fine :O omg!!?!?!

Why does UT3 only have 32 people online, does that means resistance is better than UT? Hell no.

Its called ballance, not to mention resistance in MP looks very, very sucky ;P

Also Resistance has no destructable enviroments, driving the tank around and shooting baracades never made them fall down....

Tangmashi

its the timing...Resistance came out when all the cows said that ps3 will beat the 360 in everything hence the low(or you could say good) score...now its different..people shouldn't expect too much

While Resistence looks better ?

XD88FDB

:| lol no, 40 players is great but that comment was mega BS, and halo 3 lags even with 16 players :lol: thx to the great servers we get....oh wait we dont even have dedicated servers.......MS should give us both dedicated servers and normal p2p stuff.....so when later on after few years microsoft wants to shut down the dedicated servers (they dont keep running forever....i think it was some metal gear solid multiplayer game that had its servers taken down which meant it couldnt be played anymore) so yeah that sucks, looking at the size of halo 3's map 16 player sometimes feel overcrowded so it doesnt matter but atleast give us lag free server so i dont get meleed from 10 miles away :|

resistance multiplayer is like chikensrunning around in circles. Horrible level design

halo has 2 screen buffers and can upscale to 1080p. and besides Graphics=/=gameplay. Resistance and warhawk were fun for a while (a lot of fun actually), but halo 3 is on another level.

BTW i own a ps3 and 360

you know that's only the screen resolution right?

the texture's/lighting/physics are all better in halo 3 screen resolution doesnt effect texture resolution unless screen res is really low.

resistance has more players, but also no vehicles in it's online multiplayer like halo and the graphics aint as good .

why do ppl automatically think MORE players = BETTER?

trust me its almost the opposite.

COD2 on X360 with only 8 players is far better than COD2 on PC with dozens- its mayhem & no fun at all.

Gears of War features only 8 players & its done brilliantly.

COD4 BETA - only 12 players & that was excellent.

more players just get in the way & turns the individual into little more than a 'grunt'

i agree, with less people you feel part of the team, rather then making up the numbers

R:FOM >>>> Halo 3 in amount of players in a multiplat match

-D3MO-

That's not a mark of quality. Halo3 is optimsed for max 16 players as that's where the best gaming is. Most games are played with 6 or 5 players and they are better for it.

Anyone who has played BF2 on a 64 player map compared to a 32 map knows what I mean (or even Market Garden on RTCW with 100 players).

H3 could have stretched to 24 players but 360's don't have dedicated servers like the PS3 - it's all p2p.

Exactly.

I hate it when developers reach their max in a game then fish out reasons for it. Gears 8 players well we wanted it to be a personal experience. Halo 16 player we wanted it to be personal. Bunch of liars, if they could put 40 on screen they would but can't. Woo hoo p2p servers must rock the house go xbox live. I have Resistance which is 40 player and Warhawk which is 32 player woo hoo.

Resistance is a poor mans Halo 2 with better graphics, awards and animations then Halo 2. Which I'm glad so if PS3 owners want a Halo like game its Resistance. I'm sure Bungie wanted rich detailed environments in mp and thats also what killed the amount on screen. Resistance Online play looks good.

If Resistance owners wanted a more team based experience they could easy make a 16 player room. Woot.

Lastly we have to remember Sony forced Insom to finish Resistance way in advance. They were going to add things like streaming and what not to up the graphics but couldn't because Sony needed one good launch title. But Resistance 2 is coming and it will probably smoke Halo 3 sorry lems.

COD3 with 24 players is ok but NOTHING to shout about- COD2 with 40 players on a map is terrible- its a complete fragfest- as soon as u shoot sum1 ur already dead by sum1 else- bodies piling up everywhere- u can hardly get a kill spree going before getting overwhelmed by other players.

40 player games are irrelevant- since teamwork grinds to a halt- massed charges & overwhelming certain points with superior numbers become the staple routine. & if ur the type of 'Lone Wolf' player accustomed regular kill sprees ull soon be dissappointed- afterall even the best ppl can only take on so much.

Virtua Tennis is 1080p by your logic it must be better than Resistance and Halo 3 right?

From Game Informer Magazine the realreason is actually quite simple, Bungie said that they could easily put 32 to 40 player on maps, but the reason why they dont is because with that many players some players do not have an impact on the game and just get lost in the fray, they keep it 16 players because every person is important to the outcome its hard to get lost in the fray, its as simple as that.

[QUOTE="ChiChiMonKilla"]Live is p2p that's why so it has issues with lag while psn has servers and about RFOM looking better imo they are about a tie.lordxymor

So, where does the Live fee go?

in MS pocket

the main reasons why Resistance can hold more players than Halo 3 is because:

it hasa bigger space (blu-ray)

more powerful processor (cell)

dedicated servers (plus no online fee)

:P

Bungie didn't want more than 16, which is fine, because none of the maps (except maybe Sandtrap) can hold more than 20+, hell 8 on 8 in Sandtrap can get pretty hectic sometimes.

dedicated servers yeah, and the cell yeah a little maybe,but the blue ray does not go toward giving you more players online.

unless you can explain too me how it does.
