Stand Corrected on Muiltiplayer: Xbox 360’s Halo 3 better than Sony PS3’s Warhawk

When I started playing Warhawk on my Sony PS3 I was taken back by how good it is and how large the maps were, yes its still amazing and I love being able to fly high and drop fast towards the ants (other players)…simply amazing.
Then I got Halo 3 on my Xbox 360 and as I voiced before, my first thoughts were “amazing graphics but hate the tiny maps in comparison to Warhawk’s”.
Since I have been playing Halo 3 a lot more I have now come to understand that bigger muiltiplayer maps does not make a better game, in fact the gaming options and many different types of games and customizing in Halo 3 sets it apart from Warhawk.
Yes I still love Warhawk and play it often, but I have now come to learn how much fun it is to go into a private chat and then team up with my mate while we play Halo 3 team games (this you could never do on the Sony PS3 as the chat software is very limited).
Warhawk has its benefits, but I do stand corrected thinking it was a better muiltiplayer game.
For me now Halo 3 is way better, but still I am glad I own both the Xbox 360 and Sony Playstation 3.

All of them, the ps3 does run so much smoother than the 360, all games on the 360 hickup!! thats typical pc!

I told you before that in the Forge mode your player can run faster then any Game I have ever played. Jump high (not as high as crackdown), spawn weapons, vechicles or what ever the game has to offer. Once you play the Forge mode you’ll shut up about it being slow.
Josh,
with the exception of Resistance(mediocre) and Haze(will be ported but not out on the PS3 for you to yet compare) the rest are already on the 360
.
as far as halo 3 being slow, you can crank the character speed up before entering any map. since you are pretty much stuck with the game types that they give you in warhawk, it’ll get tiresome soon enough. Halo 3 on the otherhand has a seemingly infinite amount of user created gametypes. some good, some great, some bad, some really bad. but halo 3 is the only game that offers that kind of customization.
I don’t know what kind of online your playing on but I only have a 3mb broadband connection and halo 3 runs very smoothly on my 360. Also he said that you can meet up and chat with people before going into a multiplayer match. you can’t do that on the PSN. Paying $60/yearly ($5 dollars a month) is hardly worth playing on a premium online service. I like many other people would like it to be free but I’m not really hurt by the 60 dollars a year subscription fee. especially since there is a ton of free content to download. and it downloads pretty fast also.
Halo 3 is the best multiplayer game ever. Period. Watching the replays in slo-mo is so addictive! Also, using forge to create hillarious scenarios such as flying tanks and Super Dave esque stunt tracks is also a crazy addition to the last installment- clearly MS has stolen the user generated content thunder from sony. That’s gotta hurt!
@ who? WTF?? Resistance..mediocre? Typical 360 fanboy comment. BTW Resistance storyline and online play is F*cking great. IGN rated the game 9.1 which would be a higher rated game than halo 3 if it was just another game. Yeah ps3 and 360 shares alot of this years titles like UT3, (UT unfortunately *sighs*) Fear and half life too. But what does microsoft have next year? hmmm…sony? MGS4, Resistance rise of man, Motorstorm 2, Killzone 2, little big planet, uncharted drakes fortune, ratchet and clank, Jak and daxter and that just names games i remember…
Had 2 sony fanboys at my apartment they played halo3 for one hour and they were blown away, they never went online with it which is the best part. They play resistence and warhawk. I didn’t care for halo2 online but halo3 is the best video game ever made. Any game that can keep me away from bf2 modern combat is a feat in it self. I will crush anybody on the planet at twisted metal2. peace
Hey Josh, You get what you pay for. You’ll learn that lesson as you grow up.
Gears of War is chock full of Glitches. The Ranking issues are going away, I haven’t had an issue with it since the 1st - 2nd week of release.
I agree with Jeff about Resistance 31 levels of gameplay with a great storyline. Probably one of the better ones for an FPS. Resistance 2 will feature texture streaming (the technology that Gears of War uses), the disc will actually have enough room for more then 6-7 levels of gamplay.
Halo 3 being the best Multiplayer game ever is a complete overstatement and shows your mindless devotion to the MS marketing machine.
Charles — So MS made a special Mode for Halo 3 so you didn’t have to crawl? How nice of them. Too bad they couldn’t work it out for the rest of the game.
Oh if Halo 3 is the best Multi-Player ever how come the WarHawk servers are still FULL?
“Oh if Halo 3 is the best Multi-Player ever how come the WarHawk servers are still FULL?”
Booger, do the warhawk servers have over a million people on them daily? Halo 3 does. Does warhawk have about 20 different multiplayer game types? Halo 3 does. Does warhawk support user created content? Halo 3 does. Does warhawk have a main story that is 4 player coop enabled? Halo 3 does. Sounds to me at least that warhawk could have been great but like every thing else on the PS3 it just didn’t live up to the hype. It’s funny that all the big name 360 games get great scores and are freaking awesome. To bad PS3 “AAA”lol games are either short as hell with no multiplayer or all multiplayer and no story. I thought Bluegay was going to be useful for games to bad all they do is make the games region free instead so even though you probably speak one language the disk is full of about 10. Oh and RFOM is COD2 with aliens those character models look like they came from an original xbox shooter.
