Gebx, although I see your point to a degree, you still disappoint me.
Kill tracking isn't remotely near what I was talking to. Have you ever played Resistance online? Have you ever seen the online statistics for Resistance? It doesn't sound like you have, because the stat tracking system of Halo 3, like CoD4, PALES in comparison. This isn't an opinion, it's a fact. There is no other game with as detailed information of online statistics at the current time than Resistance: Fall of Man. Period..this shouldn't even be argued about..if you argue it, you're being a fanboy. Sorry, it's true.
Being able to curb-stomp your oponent is nice, but only 4v4? That'll be fun for the first few days, but I play online multiplayer with 8 or 9 people. That's going to be boring for me and all of my friends when we have to neglect to play with a few just because the game is too small in scale. But like you said - both games aren't going to appeal to the same people all the time.
I'll reiterate my opinion one more time that the reason Halo 3 is so popular is because it's a 'newer version' of Halo 2. The game is very similar..and did Halo 2 not have some of the highest ratings pre-Halo 3? No one wants to play an old version of the same game, and the old version was extremely popular. It shouldn't be surprising that the new one is just as popular.
My argument against Halo 3 is that the difference between it an Halo 2 is so small that it's not even worth it. And almost every friend that I played Halo 2 hardcore with no longer plays Halo 3 because most of them agree. Good thing for Bungie, though, that a lot of other people don't get tired of playing the same thing with new maps. For me - I do.
I also like sniping from 50 feet away or using an Auger to kill people who like to hide behind walls or using a splicer to cut someones heart out. You prefer chainsawing and curb-stomping. To each his own.

I'm sorry, but unless I'm missing something big RFOM stat tracking isn't that mindblowing. In fact its worse than halo 3 in numerous ways. Fact.
Compare;

Keep in mind that halo allows you to view any game you've ever played. It allows you to see a map that displays where you die most often and where you get the most kills. Or you can break down stats based on map.
Not to mention that the presentation and navigation on Bungie's site is superior.

True enough, Resistance doesn't have the maps so +1 for them. I don't think (and I may again be wrong) that this was all available when the game launched, was it? That's when I played..but I didn't like the game enough to stick around long enough to check that out either.
More-over, I was referring to how you can view your stats while in-game. I guess I should have been more clear in what I meant. At least when I played Halo 3, you couldn't see stats anywhere near that detailed through your XBOX 360. All of Resistances stats are available right there, I don't have to go through a web broswer to see them (and even if I did, my PS3 has one..hah, sorry, moot point). Regardless though, it's clear that Halo 3 has better stat tracking, so I apologize sieanr.
