I got my hands on Halo 3 yesterday and had a good game with another Product Reviews writer “Mark”; although we share different opinions about the game I would agree that the co-op and single player modes are really cool and hard at times.
Sadly in my opinion, Halo 3 multiplayer maps are nothing compared to Warhawk’s, I am not starting an “Xbox 360 vs Sony PS3” here as I own both and love both.
What I am talking about is the comparison overall of the multiplayer maps on Halo 3 and on Warhawk, the graphics of Halo 3’s maps are stunning it is the gameplay that is lacking.
If you have ever played both Xbox 360’s Halo 3 multiplayer maps and Warhawk’s on the Playstation 3, then you should know what I mean.
Halo 3 maps are very small and limited in what you can do, while in Warhawk they are much bigger in size and your able to go to many more places (including much higher in the sky and much further on land).
I will put my hands up and say yes the graphics of vehicles in Halo 3 are amazing and tons better than Warhawk, but on the gameplay front…I am sorry, but Halo 3 does not touch Warhawk.
What’s your opinion on the multiplayer maps in Halo 3 and Warhawk?

At least we get to play on 15 different maps. That’s called Variety. And who cares about 32 players are you going to kill all 32 at once. Also is there spawning. If it doesn’t then yes it does suck because I wouldn’t want to wait for 32 people to die to start a match let alone find someone in such a large environment. I would fall asleep like in did in Rainbow Vegas. Let me know about this spawning if it has it or not.
It definitely has spawning, in fact you can pick to spawn near the action, if your team has that spawn captured.
charles..you have no idea what warhawk is like..of course there is spawning..its not hard at all to find people(trust me)..and what kind of logic is “who cares about 32 players are you going to kill all 32 at once.”..umm nooo..how bout you play..or at least research a game before making up some BS argument.
Does anyone actually read these posts before posting? PissStation Piss? Really now? WH Pixelized crap like Pac-Man? Really now.
The article makes a good point. WH maps are HUGE, think Battlefield 2 but you can get to most of the Map you see. With that scope you might lose some graphical quality. So it’s a trade off. Beauty for gameplay.
I have to agree with GameHero - I Have always thought HALO series to be very slow paced. I did notice Master Chief move a bit faster in Halo 3, but still a near crawling pace. That has been my complaint from Day 1 about Halo. I came from Quake 3 (Jedi Knight Series) were game play is brisk and super fast paced. So HaSlow never impressed me gameplay wise. Graphics do look cool, but it’s back to the trade off…
Beauty for Gameplay.

you need to play in the forge mode. You can run across the map in no time and you can change you jumping so your jumping like you got rockets on your feet. It’s so crazy the editor. This is going to change the way multiplayer is done. Imagine spawning anything you want and changing the ability of your master cheif.
Also I have seemed to be schooled at warhawk so thank you for the info. I put my foot in my mouth. It may be a good game in it’s respects but it better be for only being a multiplayer. But the bottom line is it lacks variety and Good graphics. I thought this Playstation 3 was suppose to be a better machine. I’m waiting for Sony to live upto what they say it can do. 1 more month until your aniverasary. Nothing to show.
Put your foot back in your mouth man.
Warhawk has a great art style and is running with 4x anti-aliasing..that means absolutely no jaggies..it has plenty of variety..play the game for a bit then talk some more BS
OK I finally got my Laptop back and I was able to go to gametrailers.com because at work they block this site. I must say it did look like on of the better games I have seen on PS3. I can see what dude was saying about the graphics but it really is not that much of a big deal because there is so much to look at. I’ll go out and say this though. I really can’t believe that there are comparisons made between Halo and Warhawk. In my opinion you should have both games if you can afford both systems. But I wouldn’t buy a system based on one game. but I did play haevenly sword and that was not bad I just which the AI was smarter but if PS3 can keep producing some more quality games that are not shared then eventually when price drops considerably I will get one. Maybe by 2009. My Big screen and home theater will come next year.
