I did not say worse in all respects, I said similar in all respects except multiplayer.  I finished both, if you don't believe my my 360 tag is impulsivity which has a completed hard difficulty GOW tag among other ones.

   The failing was not the single player (which was more or less equal to resistance in my estimation, Gears had a little more action, Resistance was far longer with a better story/more interesting weapons and enemies) it was the Gears multiplayer.  In this day and age they can't handle more then a 4v4 game?  Most gears games were over in 3 minutes since there was only a tiny group to kill on both sides.  The objective based 16 on 16 matches in Resistance were far better done.  R2 vs Gears of War 2 just continues the more or less equal on single player with Gears left in the dust on multiplayer pattern.

   For all the people who talk about the 360 as the multiplayer machine, I find it severely lacking and not just becuase you have to pay for online.  All the games are small limited affairs for some reason.  The biggest games tend to be around 8v8.  There are no huge games like Warhawk with teams of 20 people, huge firefights and all the rest.  I mean I had larger groups when I played Doom 2 on a bunch of macs linked together in my dads basement during the 90s then Gears of War manages.  

   Resistance was much better from the middle through the end then at the begining, if you say it sucks but haven't played past the cannery stage, you're missing what made the game awesome further along when all the cool weapons and huge firefights kick in.

Really??? You do realize how that comment sounds right?

The game has been out for almost a year, its had to compete against a slew of FPS from The Orange Box to Unreal 3 to CoD 4 and its hit #1 or #2 every week on Live.

I thought it was v close with Gears shading it with textures and the moving platform battle was incredible.

However note the use of the word "shading" ie its so close as to be nearly impossible to call.

Most people off the street would think it was the same game.

I had a huge post written up last night, but this is getting beyond pointless, so I refrained from posting it.

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.

Guys, I've invented a stupid game and I'd like you people to join in the fun.

I've called it "comparing HD graphics on crappy quality flash videos" and I think it'll be a lot of fun!

 Yes microsoft has not copied anything from ps3 (or wii for that matter). Lips (singstar), Scene it (buzz), avatar (home, mii's) . Oh if making an fps or playing online is stealing from 360, then 360 must have stole it from the PC, because the pc games had that way before the 360. Jeez you are such a fanboy.

Is that a budget title or full price game?

Also, can we have 3 way and greater comparisons to really up the fun factor - imagine the fight with a Gears, Resistance, Killzone 2, Fable 2, GT5 bake off?

ahah, please stop contradicting yourself... although you are right, I've never checked online to see the stats, just saw what you describe and thought it resembled Halo's system.

Edit - If Sienar's response is accurate and that webpage he showed was what you're talking about then you're a dumb ass... That pales in comparisson to whats available to Halo users...

Win

I am totally agree
