I know I'm in a huge minority (there's an oxymoron for ya), but after spending much time on both games, I believe frimly that Resistance is overall a much better game. Think I'm crazy? Probably. But let's see. Resistance is now one of my all time favorite FPS games of all time (really only Goldeneye tops it IMO but I actually have more fun with this than I did with Goldeneye), and with good reason. Resistance is a little bit more about stealth than Halo. Actually, it's a LOT more about stealth, but it's not as easy to be cheap at it, especially since the default movement is faster and makes it more of a challenge to get kills. There is grass and all kinds of great places to hide, whereas Halo is rather open. Also, the weapon selection, IMO, is FAR superior to Halo's with all the abilities the guns have (shooting through walls, shooting protective shields, bullseyes, etc.). There's a lot more strategy, and more efficient and less cheap ways to get good at them. Now, I've never played Halo ONLINE, but I doubt you can play up to 40 people, but correct me if I'm wrong. So IMO, Resistance is far more balanced, strategic, and selective than Halo. About the only thing I found better in Halo than Resistance IMO was the overall controls and control layout. Frankly, I believe Halo to be more hype that anything. Does anyone out there agree with me?

I agree with you for the most part. Halo is the name people think of when they think about a FPS. Its gotten so much hype over the years, and much of it is well deserved, no doubts there. its a good game thats easy to learn, easy to play, and offers multiple forms of entertainment, be it single player, co-op, versus, or online. Many FPS games that have been released since Halo 1 have been compared to Halo in their similarities and differences, and game designers have used techniques similar to ones in Halo as well. And it will most likely remain the milestone for all future comparisons in the FPS genre.

Resistance is a great game though, and in my opinion, far superior to Halo 1 or 2. Halo 3 could very well surpass Resistance though. But Resistance was so much better than the first two. And you summed it up pretty well. The best parts of Resistance were the increased character speed, and the strategy required for superhuman mode. What I liked most was the enemy intelligence being actually somewhat believable. The sniper rifle is a bit too powerful in my opinion though. With the slow-mo, you can take 4 headshots before their bullets even reach you.

I look forward to Resistance 2 and Halo 3 though.

Thanks, and ditto. I'm among those trying to like Halo but just am NOT right now. Resistance's weapon roster alone made me scoff at Halo.

*EDIT* Wow, I've been playing R:FoM for a while and am pretty good at it, and yet, unless I'm having a brain cramp, I can't recall any slow-mo...

the sniper rifle alternate fire slows down time for 10 seconds or so, takes about the same amount of time for it to recharge. You can get around 4 shots off if you hold it down the whole time. A good technique is to fire and release though, cus if you release slo-mo after each shot, it'll last alot longer.

No, i think he is talking about onine, Online you cant use the slow speed because you would have to slow everything else down, but to use it in campain you press L1

yeah that'd be crazy though if that happened in online, everyone slows down and the screen gets, like purple and stuff.

*post 900* 100 more.

What happens at 1000? anything? Tell you what, i'll bake you a cookie :p

Hey Im a Newb Sensei....when did that happen????

Lets not get off topic here.....

Hey Im a Newb Sensei....when did that happen????

i believe when you hit 300, oh and i dont know what happens but its just a great thing to get, shows a lot of dedication, look at curlfro...damn!:)

ya you become newb sensei at 300, but that would really cheap if you could slow down the whole game online with the sniper ...it would be really cheap you know iv really thought about that before :)

yeah it would be terrible,becuase people with carbines going crazy on each others head. most people would be respawning at the same time, becuase everyone would have killed each other.

Except for the last man standing. He could mow em down as they spawned.

Actually, an interesting idea for online play might be one slo-mo sniper rifle found in different places each time that slowed down everyone. And only the person who controls it is the person holding the special rifle. Could make things interesting :)

That's exactly like F.E.A.R. online.

Ever want a sniper game in the hanger with me and I'll mow you down anyway!
The slow-mo could work...But should be optional. They have it on FEARS online, so why not Resistance. It would have to be tweaked though.

Once I got 240 kills on a sniper match in the hanger, with fourty deaths...After two hours...And slow-mo would have made it more interesting.

Not to discredit you, but were you a human in that game? Also, how many people played in that match? That's pitiful that you were able to get away with that.

Not really i know a guy whos got 17k kills with the sniper, just in unranked, mostly plays w/o1 hits though, so some people are just crazy with it.

ya did you get it in unranked with 1 hit kills ? oh yeah and for the fear thing that only in slow mo games thought its not in team death match and deathmatch you get to choose if you want that

I have gotten 100 sniper kills At U.S.S lexington in less than an hour(like 45min.) before, I'm good at sniping.
