Xbox 360 Halo 3 and Sony PS3 Warhawk at war: How can you compare?

Product-reviews.net writes: "After seeing the post from Daniel Multiplayer Maps: Halo 3 on Xbox 360 vs. Warhawk on Sony PS3 prompt Mark to argue this point, how the hell can you choose which one is better when they are totally different platforms, like many of you fanboys it seems that there will always be a war if you like it not which to me is pretty pathetic."

[RadientFlux]

you can't... and difference in map size makes sense. If Halo3's mulitplayer maps were the same size as Warhawk it would get very boring for anyone that is on foot.

@the worst : sorry but since you are on my ignore list I really don't care what you have to say.

[sonarus]

personally i prefer the faster paced battles in warhawk also the undeniable intensity of 32 player matches. Halo is a bit more "realistic" and all that and will probably be better to those who have been playing halo 2 for the past 2 yrs but honestly i would be suprised if a neutral player played both and found halo more FUN. But then again everyone has their own preferences. They are really different types of games. I mean in warhawk you can carry 6 weapons at once lol halo can only carry 1. You can't shoot while you have a flag in halo all this took out the fun for me and also the fact that he can jump 20 feet in the air jst a bit annoying to me. But like i said everyone has their preferences some ppl might like that. Halo is a great game halo 3 will be more successful than warhawk without a doubt but based on fun factor i think warhawk beats it.

[RadientFlux]

personally I would probably like Halo3 more but I will never know for sure. While I do own a PS3 I won't be buying Warhawk since I am not much into online only games.

I agree that both games are excellent and it all comes down to personal preference

[the worst]

there nothing wrong with halo
its xbl that suckz paying for
lag ass service some game freezing

[SonySoldiers]

1. Never say something good about our competitor's consoles/games. Try to attack its shortcomings and do not listen to their opinions.

2. Never believe when they bring up bad news about the Playstation 3, just say something like "it doesn't surprise me" and/or act as if there's nothing wrong with it.

3. Never show your anger even if they make fun of your opinion, put a smile/LOL symbol in your writings or say something like you don't get upset over anything.

4. Never cease to defense other Ps3 fans like you always do for your favorite console. Show to the crowds that Ps3 owners are one big family unit.

5. Never ever think the Playstation 3 will loose the console wars nor it ain't got no games, the console's lifespan is about 10 years so it's just in the beginning. You do not want to give up things easily.

Thanks so much for your loyalty to Sony's Playstation 3. There's always hopes and promises in the future!

[MADGameR]

Warhawk is 1 BILLION times WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAY better than Halo 3! MS wish they had Warhawk! LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[secret]

People become outraged when injustice is blatant. Hardly anyone would be upset with what's truly fair. Fairness.

There is an outrage at the unfairness shown clearly from gaming "journalist professionals" and / or Companies who are desparately trying to unfairly and indecently preserve the life of the xbox360 through smoke & mirrors, fog, and other deceptions.

It won't be tolerated forever by everyone, and people will start to behave as that disgruntled Wii owner when they wake up and the deception comes to light. It might be painful on egoes of those who might've hastily rushed out to buy an xbox360 or a Wii because EGM and Gamepro and other gaming journalists told them to.

Afterwards, people don't feel good when they find out they've been had, and some will probably continue to try to defend themselves and their egos from getting bruised as a result. A handful will correct their mistakes and get back on track.

I am greatly disappointed at Gamepro & EGM and all other journalists because of what they've done this generation. (unethical).

Both EGM and Gamepro told you to buy a Wii. You mention crap games? Did you know that, about two months ago, Gamepro awarded the Wii in the games department? Do your research, and you'll see that Gamepro told you that the Wii gets a B grade for its games while the PS3 gets a C grade instead. How do you feel about Gamepro now? How about the frat boys at EGM?

It's very sad when the referees of the game have already pre-determined which team they want to see win and will go at tremendous lengths (even sacrificing integrity) to make sure that that team wins by making suspect calls on the field. Fans are booing and throwing bottles.

Hopefully, may the fastest runner win and win on merit rather than the alternative of frat boy journalists / referees having a go at one system in particular in order to ensure the success of their preferred systems that they secretly know is truly inferior.

I am actually pro Wii for what appears to be a gaming "revolution" in gaming themes - more PG and Disney type games rather than the horror and violent movies seen on the xbox360.

The PS3 is a perfect balance.

(to add another perspective to the fog and deceptions, although the percentage margins for Halo 3 is good compared to Spiderman the movie, the actual dollars amounts tell a different story. 56% profit on one dollar is nothing compared to 46% profit margin on $600 billion. Take into consideration that one halo3 game costs $60-$80 and that one spiderman ticket is around $7.

By the way, despite your talk about HD 720P/1080P on the xbox360 and HDMI, I have some news for you...

If DVD-9 is really hi-defition 720p/1080p, why would you need HD-DVD and Bluray disc? Decetions, fog & mirrors. Instead of wasting your energy defending your ego, use the same amount of energy to get yourself back on track from your mistake of buying a 360.)

[JsonHenry]

@ 1.6

You must be talking about us PS3 owners. : (

Trumped as superior in every way - yet nothing on the PS3 that is a cross platform title plays as good as it does on the PC or the 360. The games that are first party or exclusive are terrible games (LAIR) and the biggest game coming downt he pipes (KZ2) looks totally inferior to Gears of War or Bioschock. (although it looks hella better and a lot more fun than Halo 3!!)

[LosT---SouL]

why do you write such ridiculously long posts? your pretty much just wasting time writing messages not many people are going to bother reading, unless they dont have lives. (or just dont have anything better to do)

[iheartSONY]

^^@ RadientFlux^^
You Should really try Warhawk. I'm on the same boat you are on. I don't like online only games or so I thought until I played Warhawk and was very happy with my purchase. I bought the retail version but would recommend the download version after using the headset that came with the game. The headset is so uncomfortable. But how can you compare a game like Warhawk & Halo 3? You should be comparing RFoM or KZ 2 against Halo 3.

[THC CELL]

warhawk wins by miles in mp department

[iceice123]

How is that? I'll enjoy reading your well thought out / written argument for your statement.

@Below, congrats on never playing Halo, you're missing out on the best multiplayer experience a console can offer. Too bad for you.

[demolitionX]

u don't need 10 page explanation for that, GO play both. Halo lacks the fast paced, tense, chaotic type of gameplay warhawk has. but if u like slow boring MP, Halo will be better providing that.

[ArmrdChaos]

Has warhawk even hit 5 million matches yet?

Enough said...Halo.

[iceice123]

Has warhawk even had 500,000 unique players yet? Halo 3 has had almost 1,500,000 in 24 hours. Yep, warhawk is so critically acclaimed it passes Halo and so many more people enjoy it.

[Kaze88]

Think it like this way...

When halo was released it was so hyped that many bought it and loved it. since that it has gathered loads of more hype. As a serie it hastn let down its fans.
As for warhawk was last released in ps1 long long time ago and now it has worthy sequel, but it had no hype like it should had cause its a great MP game.
Halo is an scifi fps, warhawk is and fastpaced 3rd person shooter with large maps and vehicles.
Halo has an game serie wich has its fans and warhawk is new franchise for most of us so HOW THE H*LL CAN YOU COMPARE THEM IN ANYWAY?

[Elginer]

I've never seen so many damn haters in my life. Ever since Halo 3 came out you Sony folks have been pissing and moaning like my gf when shes on the rag. I swear, you guys need to just eat humble pie; the game rocks. How the hell does this effect you in a bad way? It's not like you are playing it, so go play your own MP game (Warhawk) which had such a crappy development time that they dropped the supposedly amazing single player game altogether. Stop the hate, go play Warhawk or the actually better game which is Heavenly Sword. That game is actually something to write home about.

[DeadIIIRed]

So if a game has more logged matches it automatically means its better. Remember friends I'll take quality over quantity any day.

[abuze]

The Best multyplayer experience a console can offer is with SOCOM!

[DixieNormS]

Because Halo 3 offers that and then some. I don't think Warkhawk does. I also don't think SOCOM is a better console MP game than Halo. If it was then most of us would be lining up for the sequels ala Halo series.

[grunt360]

Shame you made an incorrect statement there about the "Quality over Quanitity". Firstly, the less players you have playing the game...the less fun your gonna experience...which ultimately means lesser quality. Secondly, the amount of people playing Halo 3 means that obviously the game is such good quality people are playing it. Now can all you Sony plebs put your weapons away and just admit that Halo 3 IS better than Warhawk...by far. And if you think I'm wrong, then I suggest you ask the developers what they think of Halo 3, because if they say that their game is better than Halo 3, then they must really need their heads seen to. Period.

[BIGBAER]

And as for DeadHead's idiotic statement:

2.7 - "Ah So if a game has more logged matches it automatically means its better. Remember friends I'll take quality over quantity any day."

Warhawk has only SOLD a little over 126,000 units. Now compare this to Halo 3 stats from Bungie.net:

Halo 3 Players Online: 277,158

Unique Players (Last 24 Hours): 1,494,571

Matches Logged (Last 24 Hours): 4,669,705

UNSC Campaign Kill Count: 755,737,851

Your "quality over quantity" statement is misused; you imply that Warhawk has better quality simply because it has sold fewer copies.

This kind of thinking is both assinine and juvenile.

I'll explain it to you: Halo 3, by now, has likely sold more copies than all the games compined in the PS3's library. Think about. Think real hard. Seriously.

[Scrooge]

People talk as if hype alone magically creates success for a game. Hype does help. But if you say halo3 is big because of hype then you could hype any crappy-ass game and generate the same sales as halo3. Think about it, hype is no excuse for a game's success. Warhawk wasn't hyped at all, it's a good game, but if it was hyped it might have made just a minor difference in the sales numbers.

[Saint Sony]

Simple answer: You can't compare.

[boi]

ermm don't compare!

simple leave the 2 great games alone and play both :D

btw who having trouble here going into Halo 3 MP matchmaking? mine it says cant retrieve Halo 3 servers?! been like that since yday...(UK)

[nanometric]

Gamers won't compare, fanboys will!!!

[ukilnme]

And most of them will make comparisons without having played both.

[Rooted_Dust]

If your fortunate enough to have both systems play both. If not enjoy what you got. I'm through ripping on games.

[Genki]

The on-foot combat SUCKS. This game desperately needs some people who can code this aspect better, because the aiming, regardless of sensitivity, is entirely too loose to be manageable, for my tastes anyway. The game absolutely needs tighter control. The Warhawks themselves are brilliant...but again, when you're not aiming.

The hover mode is essentially nullified as a result of the dreadful aiming system. Easily the most crippling factor of the game.

I haven't played Halo 3, but 2 and 1 had some TIGHT controls, which is part of what I believe makes it so fun...it's responsive. If 3 is anything like those, then sorry Warhawk, you can kiss it goodbye.

I'm not one who likes to fight with controls...and I find myself doing that on-foot in Warhawk. It's still loads of fun...I just try to stay off the ground tbh.

[Maddens Raiders]

there is no aiming issue in Warhawk. You aim, you lock on, pull the trigger and shoot. It's super simple; how does that need to be refined? I feel nothing is lost on foot, turrets, tanks, or Jeeps - just as in aircraft; they all have the same wonderful lock-on mechanism except for the AAA guns where you have to lead properly in order to get good hits. I think you're stretching a bit, but maybe need a little more practice? =] a/w Take care.

[Kleptic]

and Genki, you are aware that you can adjust the aiming sensitivity right?...that will make a huge difference on how snappy the reticle is...the game does have a fair amount of assit, but mostly because on foot characters are fairly tiny considering how far most weapons can shoot...

I took the aim sensitivity from 50% (default) down to about 35%...its perfect now...

[DJ]

but the series is generally limited to just ground combat. The fact that Warhawk lets you hold up to 8 weapons at any given time is great, and the Knife Invisibility (veterans know what I'm talking about) adds a lot of strategy to the ground combat. What I prefer about Warhawk is its epic scale and huge amount of players at any given moment, on top of the perfect balance of class types and frenetic action. Halo 2, even when it got crazy, was still very manageable. Well, the people watching me onscreen couldn't keep up with what the hell I was doing since my sensitivity was on 7, but whatever.

I was actually hoping that Halo 3, and especially its MP, would try the next-gen route that Warhawk took. Unfortunately, there's certain things holding back the franchise from achieving what Bungie probably wanted to do. For future Warhawk installments, I hope they put in even more physics destruction, upgrade the max number of players to at least 40, and tighten up the ground combat. Everything else though, such as jeeps, tanks, warhawks, and turrets are absolutely perfect.

Oh, one last thing. You should be able to talk whenever you want; holding down the L3 button in order to talk is just plain annoying.

[rowdy 1]

you've never played warhawk. Its very easy to aim, and the flight controls are fine. Don't talk sh1t about what you don't know.

[thewhoopimen]

No there is absolutely nothing wrong with the aiming system. You just literally suck at it, if you can't aim in Warhawk.

Look me up online - Nhoj

I'll show you how to aim.

[Shankle]

Oh no, I have to agree with Genki. There are aiming issues. For about 20 minutes until you've got used to the gameplay style. Warhawk has a very distinctive and peculiar feel to it that is very different to first person shooters. Just because you aren't used to it doesn't make it crap. You're not fooling anyone mate.

[Genki]

To the rest of you now...grow up, please. I'm sorry for having a different POV than you about your precious gem. I own the bloody game, played in the beta, so most likely have much more experience with it than those of you who like to shoot off at the mouth.

I find it funny how when someone simply has a different experience they just MUST be a liar, or "suck" at something. Rofl, some of you need to take a critical thinking class or something...might help you identify and get rid of your logical fallacies.

For the record, I enjoy the game, particularly the dogfights, but I'm sticking by my guns and saying that aiming is LOOSE. When I play a game like Resistance, the aiming is responsive and tight. When playing Warhawk, I feel that I'm guiding the reticule more so than controlling it, and that frustrates me.

Do you have no problems aiming? Well great, I'm happy for you. I, on the other hand, won't be a baby and slander you for having a different experience. Anyway, have fun kiddies, keep believing that everyone that doesn't see things your way is either wrong, untruthful, or has no skill...keep that head underground.

[DrRage77]

and on next week of completely useless game comparisons:

Viva Pinata vs. Killzone2
Little Big Planet vs. Project Gotham Racing4
Pacman Championship Edition vs. Unreal Tournament III

why o why do stupid people insist on comparing games that are not even alike? here's a clue....PLAY THE GAMES YOU LIKE AND STOP COMPARING THINGS THAT HAVE ALMOST ZERO IN COMMON!!!!!

i really am starting to hate this site with a passion, the "articles" that have been getting approved lately are an absolute joke

[darkequitus]

I have said the same thing so many times. This site should be better moderated

PC/PSWii60 Gamer

Steam/xfire/gamespy/PSN/XBL : darkequitus

Currently playing:

360 - Halo 3 + COD 4 Beta
PC - Crysis MP beta
PS3 - HS (slowly to make it last) +Warhawk (when server works)
Wii - Gathering dust + waiting to be sold (theses are not games by the way LOL)

[Frulond]

LOL good one xD

[SL1M DADDY]

Bubble up from me bud. You hit the nail on the head here. I am getting sick and fricken tired of idiots comparing games that have no right to be compared. What? Why didn't anybody see the need to compare GRAW to RS:V online? Oh yeah, because that would not have added fuel to the console war fire. This war is getting out of control.

[Shadow Flare]

At least Warhawk looks better then IT'S predecessor

And from what everyone says, it's a hell of a lot more fun then Halo 3 online. Which is basically Halo 2 online anyway, with extra maps and a man-cannon. Joy. Warhawk deserves its praise, Halo 3 doesn't

[Lex Luthor]

At least Halo 1 sold more than both warhawks combined.

[DeadIIIRed]

So you and a few others on here are telling me that the more a game sells the better it becomes? Wow. I wonder how great Mary-Kate and Ashley's Super Mall Adventure would have been if it sold 5 million. Hell, according to you it would be as good as Halo 1, right?

[killercam19]

ok my comparison.................one s Awesome and one is Meh

[nix]

which one is meh?

[Oncnawan]

The one that's not Awesome?

[SJL480]

bubbles Oncnawan
simple question and simple answer I lmfao

[Kleptic]

the phrase "can't compare" only points to the fact that the outcome of the comparison is entirely opinion...

and imo I think Warhawk is more fun...I played the Halo 3 beta...played the Warhawk beta (which arguably is still going on)...played a lot of both final releases already...and simply prefer the multiplayer approach of Warhawk to a "middle ground" halo 3...

where halo 3 can't touch Warhawk is scale...and pacing...thats why I prefer it over halo...The ability to fire a sniper rifle miles to take out a dude the size of a single pixel is absolutely awesome...the projectile mapping in the game, because of the huge draw distances, are pretty much the greatest in any video game ever...

the only reason I ever got hooked on any of the Halo games was simply that it was a great fps on a console...and aside from Goldeneye, and Quake III on the DC, that hadn't happened at all...but since then, a ton of great fps games are available on consoles...probably the main reason I sort of grew out of halo...Warhawk adds a Battlefield style, with much faster pacing, to consoles...something that has never been done before...and even with some still ongoing bugs (albeit much better than when it went live) the game is still a must own for any multiplayer fan...

I do understand why so many people like Halo though...I am not trashing the game...simply saying that I grew tired of it after the hundreds of hours of Halo 2, and I have mentioned before I never cared for the single player part of the game...and its worth noting again that this is simply my opinion, I am not pushing it on anyone else...its just that "facts" get thrown out the window in a comparison such as this, its all opinion...

[ukilnme]

Your comment is one that I can respect. Regardless of your preference at least you gave your opinion based on the experience of playing both games. As far as I am concerned that is the only way to make a comparison.

Edit: I have yet to play either one so I can't compare d@mn thing.

[crck]

I also like Warhawk more because there is just so much to do and you can choose how you want to play. The giant maps allow so much freedom. I'm not saying Warhawk is better but it is more to my liking. Halo 3 is definitely the more complete package and hardcore shooter fans may like i more. Warhawk is more of an warzone action game then a pure shooter.

[Kleptic]

yeah they are truely not the same style of game...but you can decide which one is more fun to play...Halo 3 is great, just no longer my thing...it has some features that are awesome (the video capture thing is probably the coolest addition to a multiplayer game this generation so far)...but its core gameplay is no different than Halo 2...and, while it does look great, it is so similar looking to Halo 2 environment wise...It brings back the stress of me playing a video game until 4 am...and having a test at 8am that morning in college...

thats not a dig at Halo 3 not looking good...thats a compliment on how good halo 2 looked at the time...but I want bigger stuff now, and more of it...7.1 TrueHD sound with crazy doppler effects on flak cannons and tank shells...and just overall more carnage in an online war game...Warhawk delivered that for me...Halo 3 didn't...

UT3 seems to be the next online game that is headed in that direction...I can't say I prefer a third person view to a true fps...and UT3 seems to be setting up to have massive maps, lots of vehicles, and really fast pacing...in the truest sense of what the greatest PC fps games where...I have a feeling UT3 may end up being the best game of the year...it will deliver on the content side, which is the only thing that held back Warhawk (plenty of DLC is rumored to be on its way soon though)...

[MikeGdaGod]

i'd pick Warhawk simply because its in third-person. i hate fps in mp because you can't see around you very well.

plus, the maps in Warhawk are HUGE!!!!

@ Genki.....if you have trouble fighting on the ground, thats cus i probably just killed you. i have that affect on people ;)

no but seriously, i like fighting on the ground, air, tanks, turrents... whatever its all alot of fun. you just have to take time to master it all. i didn't like fighting in the Warhawks at first but after many dogfights i love it.

[Genki]

but I've stood stationary and just moved the reticule around and noticed that it continues moving a bit after I've completely let up off the analog stick. It's very distinct, and I knew it wasn't just me. I admit I suck at the on-foot combat, but it still remains that the aiming is loose...for me anyway, and it greatly discourages my from adapting to it.

I love a good dogfight though. Like I said, I didn't give up on the game. That's part of what makes it so good, there's something for everyone.

Like turrets? Have a blast...literally. Dogfights, tanks, vehicles, whatever, it's all there, and I'm as happy as a lark when I'm in a Warhawk.

[TheGamer]

"but I've stood stationary and just moved the reticule around and noticed that it continues moving a bit after I've completely let up off the analog stick. It's very distinct, and I knew it wasn't just me."

Its not just you. I have the same problem. The controller seems to work on its own. But then again its not because there is a prob with the game itself. Its just that your analog stick is messed up. Get a new controller. It happens to me a lot of times too but its my controller. I pull my analog stick up and bingo!!!

[nomad117]

it's auto aim it aims for you when you shoot and hit someone it targets them so then u don't have to move the right anolag any more it stays on them just thought you should know

[genericname]

really can't compare since Halo is more of a mainstream FPS with training wheels and Warhawk is geared towards the hard core gamer.

[nix]

i thought it was the other way around. q:

[Meus Renaissance]

To compare the two is on the enjoyment the player has playing Warhawk or Halo. E.g. Which is more fun to play?

[the worst]

ps3 rules

[Firewire]

Its called Wowhawk for a reason!
I'm at 94hrs & change in Wowhawk, its awesome!
Halo 3 has its own niche, for a fps. I only have two complaints
about Halo series in general. The story is what? Its confusing, but thats Bungies fault (maybe I need the books/comics to fill me in) And my next gripe with Halo is the colors, I'm not a fan of bright neon type colors they use!
As for Wowhawk, there are some community features lacking, but there being addressed.
Both are good games that shouldn't even be compared, but for the simple fun factor, Wowhawk wins.

[Canidae]

Having played both, Warhawk is just plain more fun, and really adds that sense of the scale of battle. Though at the same time the games are different, each with its own merits, and both being awesome. However if I had to choose just one MP game out right now, Warhawk would be my pick.

[scotthea311]

How much customization is there with the Halo 3 MP? Just curious. Do you get to unlock different features for the character or are you stuck looking like everyone else besides being red or blue?

[iceice123]

10 different armor sets for the Spartan and 5 for the elite. Each starts out with 2 sets at first.

[pkb79]

Halo 3 only has 16 players in a game doesn't it?

[khellendros1]

They are totally 2 different types of games but they are all supposed to be fun. So you can compare how much fun you have playing each game. Warhawk is hailed as one of the greatest online experiences to come along in a while yet only averaged 8 to 8.5. Halo averaged a 9.7. Is it really that much more fun? I haven't played Halo 3 so I don't know.

[Jinxstar]

If you recall right. Warhawk got lower scores for "Lack of single player" by a lot of people. Really its up to you to decide. I honestly don't care as much for online as I do killing friends. Ganging up on them and stuff =P so in that 1 aspect I believe Halo is better. For pacing, scale, variety and control(What I mean by this is nobody Circle, Strafe, Jumps) Warhawk is better hands down.

[greekgod1]

First of all I am sure that each game is a great game at what it does. I have not played Warhawk as I have a 360 and Halo is a great game single player and multiplayer. I think everyone should all be happy that we have great games to play on either system and everyone should stop flaming something that I'm sure most of you like myself have only played one or the other. I have seen the graphics on warhawk as well as Halo3 and they both have great graphics, not the best by any means for either one, but still great. Halo multiplayer is one of the best multiplayer experiences that I have ever had in a game, but I will not compare to the multiplayer of Warhawk as I have not played it. Unlike alot of people here and in every other post or forum that I read, I will not base my opinion on flaming fanboys that only want to justify the games or systems that they own and bash the others. I do not have a PS3 because I personally prefer the game library on XBOX, however the PS3 is an awesome system which does have some games that I would love to play, but overall XBOX is the choice system for me.

[ghost305]

Halo 3 is clearly hetter, not only it has MP campaign it also has single player campaign. Plus Halo 3 is a phenomenon while Warhawk is the most fun you can play on the ps3 right now. Halo 3 has had 1 million different gamers login to play in less than 12 hrs while Warhawk has only sold 800,000 copies

[khellendros1]

I'm not sure what number of players have to do with it. Hype is the reason there was 1 million players. There were a million pre-sales so even if the game sucked there would still be a million players logging on.

[Frulond]

just like lemon coke, everyone wants to try it and run to get one, but many don't get to like it or get plain disappointed.
I think both games are different, like... maybe comparing R:FOM with Warhawk... you see it right there? they are completely different. Wait a couple months and compare Halo3 with UTIII ;)

[2paclives]

I can truthfully give my honest comparison because I own both games...halo 3 is better. Halo 3 actually has a storyline, the on-ground combat in warhawk is rather weak. The graphics are 2 notches above last-gen. While warhawk is a fun (above-average) game, it just doesn't match up to halo 3's overall package.

[squallsoft]

at leaste warhawk tries something fresh and new

[ZombiesNJ]

I think that Halo 3 and Warhawk are both great. Warhawk does what is set out to do--be a multiplayer game and nothing more. For the price, you simply can't beat Warhawk. Halo 3 provides a much deeper multi-player and single player experience. This is because there's a storyline behind the game, whereas Warhawk it just a pick up and play game, which is fine. I think that if you are looking for great multi-player games, you can't go wrong with both.

[Ri0tSquad]

couldn't agree more

[mattolla]

We can argue all day which has better replay value or controls.

One thing that I was amazed at was the fact that Warhawk was a 800mb DOWNLOAD off psn, and has better graphics than H3.

Every single review site I have read on H3 give it's graphics the lowest overall score. Why would bungie settle for such mediocre graphics? This is the flagship game for the 360, and I would still rather play GOW based on graphics.
After finishing H3 I don't know why, but I expected more.

Bottom line is H3 is a great game; but I love Warhawk for its simplicity.

[cartman313]

Well, apparently Halo graphics are as good as Heavenly sword. According to IGN anyways.

EDIT: They didn't directly say it, but both got a 9 on graphics.

[Kleptic]

haha IGN said that?...

if they are talking about character models...that might be the absolute single dumbest thing I have ever heard in gaming...HS simply has the greatest motion capture facial animations of any real time rendering...ever...

if they are speaking of a muddy texture underneath a picnic table in the corner of a room in HS...compared to Halo 3 having a realistic texture on one of the trees in a forest...then maybe...but halo 3 and HS are not even in the same league graphically...the technical feat of HS could come across as subtle at first, but a game that makes you forget you are playing a game during cutscenes...its pretty impressive...Halo 3's visuals by most of the media have been summed up to "what you would expect"...meaning nothing shocking, but not bad either...If there is a part in halo 3 where you see an army of men moving toward you, yet still moving independent of each other...let me know, I obviously missed something...

[Rageaholic]

halo multiplayer just feels generic and nothing has changed.

While warhawk is a third person shooter and it tries something different on a console. IT feels like a arcade version of battlefield.

The animation and graphics suck onwarhawk, but the game is rather smooth, and I have yet to go on a server and complain about lag.

But the main reason why I like it more is because it resembles battlefield meaning THERE IS SO MUCH MORE TO DO to contribute team multiplayer.

But I do have to admit the deathmatch kindov sucks in warhawk, but it is amazing when the server set the game in just dogfight mode.

But for those xbox fanboys that say it is more popular meaning it is better, that is a moot argument its like saying britney spears is the best singer

[Hugh Hefner]

Well I have both games... and I was playing Warhawk before Halo came out. While Warhawk is tons of fun, I don't see myself going back to it; however, I do see me playing Halo 3 for frickin ever. The options in Halo 3 are endless, the graphics are great (not mind-blowing but great), and the amount of maps/vehicles/weapons/game modes available offers a lot of depth that Warhawk lacks.

[Vip3r]

Is just boils down to what is better the xbox 360 or the PS3. There is no better game, it's just down to opinions.

[Delive]

I played both. 5 games of Warhawk first. Had a blast. Then about 5 games of Halo 3, Had a blast. Both Ranked only. the differences I se as pros and cons. Halo 3, I didn't come across and "Room full" messages when trying to enter rooms. Warhawk, I had more choice over what I played. With H3 matchmaking, I found myself playing KotH,lone wolf on the same map 3 matches in a row. Both are pretty well balanced. Neither had lag. I got Medals/acheivements for each game. Not many cons. Warhawk is better for the large scale battles and more control over what you play. Halo 3 is better for the Close quarters combat with less hassel getting into the action. Both are highly reccomended.

Delive: fighting in both wars.

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

I've played both and here's my opinion:

I was in the BETA's of both.

The Warhawk BETA had WAY better reviews than the Halo 3 BETA.

The full game of Warhawk is little more than the BETA itself. The thing is...there was nothing wrong with the BETA. It was a complete and rich multi-player experience. It's like Battlefield, but faster and with GOOD flight controls. It is the Unreal Tournament of the TPS world. (arguable against Gears of War...but I'm giving it to Warhawk)

The full game of Halo has ohkay multi-player, but there's really nothing there we haven't seen before. I guess "Forge" mode is cool, but it's nothing compared to what Crysis is bringing. That game is just going to DESTROY Halo 3 on all levels. (Campaign, Multi-player, EVERYTHING!)

Basically, Halo just isn't anything new. It never has been. It's just a game that you guys got attached to and made "GOD OF ALL GAMES" when, in reality, it was Tribes without jetpacks...

Warhawk...hands DOWN!

It's one of the most addicting games ever made!

[cartman313]

Halo = Just another shooter(8vs8)

Warhawk = First huge battlefield on a console.(16vs16)

[Jinxstar]

You know whats odd.... It feels like there are way more PS3 fans then there used to be here... Are the 360 fans all playing HAlO 3? Or what? Any ideas? I know its off topic and all but I feel strange not being torn down all the time...

BTW My 2 cents. Warhawk is more fun. I played Halo MP last night for about 2 hours after the campaign... I didn't enjoy it as much as Warhawk... Oh well... I'm gonna try some more later and hope it gets better...

[Salvadore]

Yeah, it's like they are creeping around disagreeing.

[Funky Town_TX]

and that is sad.

[Salvadore]

And yet some receives mediocre scores.

[mighty_douche]

why does everything have to be compared to something else now, its getting crazy, there completely different genres for a start.

i personally like to judge a game solely by THAT game, you'll just start picking every game/movie apart otherwise... 'oh i love the slow-mo' 'yeah but its not as good as ____'

who gives a rats ass, if you like the game play it, if you dont then dont, everyones become a games analyst now (well in there heads anyway), arent we all just here cos we enjoy the same thing, PLAYING GAMES not whos p1ssing console is better...

edit: anyone know whats new on the PSN today??

edit @ Installshield, lol yeah im sure if there was a killzone beta there'd be alot less commentting happenning! im still gonna check tho lol better safe than sorry huh

[Kleptic]

haha KZ2 beta or demo...

http://www.n4g.com/ps3/News...

[BUKKAKALYPSE]

pretty one sided war..HALO FTW

[achira]

warhawk is way better. period. that halo 3 sells well is no reason for being good. its all hype. would it be a normal game, i am sure it would not even get 80s. come on the graphics are last gen! ok nice light effects, but thats it, overall even resistance looks better.

[crippler666]

IMO both have their own merits and both have their own problems.

4 of us got together last night for a fragfest, played Halo 3 for around 2 hours, then Warhawk went on for around 6 hours. I now have 2 more friends buying a PS3, they was going to wait for MGS4 but having played Warhawk they are going to buy one this month. Not that one game is better than the other (nor are they abandoning the 360), just that Warhawk is a fast paced game and they enjoyed it. Halo on the other hand gives you a little time to think and is still enjoyable but in a different way.

[rowdy 1]

Talking about sales. You mix sales with hype and you get the N'SYNC of video games and that's Halo 3 or Backstreet boys. The game dissapoints, but fangirls are creaming for the name & making excuses for the game play, and weak as$ graphics. Warhawk never had the hype and just came out and rocked & it's a better online game hands down. You can only carry one weapon at a time on H3, hell I can atleast carry 2 to 3 on Socom or GRAW. Halo is just like Power Rangers, but if you're 12 and playing it I understand, if you're 30 you're lame.

[Luck_y_Penny]

i will personally go for Warhawk.

[toughNAME]

Warhawk is a great game. but it is incomplete. its a $60 arcade game

theres no comparison...wait for Haze or something or a AAA gamr..atleast that would make sense

and with 5 maps..warhawk will get old FAST

Halo 3 has more replayability than any other game.

[Jinxstar]

The reason you are getting disagrees is 2 reasons. It is not 60$. It is 40$. Also the maps get modified depending on how many players are in. You can have a small arena area for 4-8 players. Or a huge area for 32. It can get sectioned off and make you work in different ways depending on amounts of players and such. BTW the largest map in halo I found is the desert. The maps in warhawk are easily 10 times this size... Battles take place in many different areas. Sometimes concentrated sometimes spread out. It doesn't get old with the variety of areas and terrain and everything accessible.

FYI I didn't disagree with you. Sometimes you have very valid points but this isn't one of them. For 40$ you can't beat Warhawk period.

[Bazookajoe_83]

Diffrent kinds of game, it´s like saying Hockey is better than football. It cant be compared. They are both great game, get over it fanboys...

[Rhezin]

it can't compare Warhawk is a flophouse piece of sh!t while halo 3 is a grand masterpiece . Keep lying to yourself sony fanboys.

[cartman313]

^Says the Xbox Fanyboy.

[MikeGdaGod]

great agrument, many valid points!!!

you just conviced me, ima get rid of that silly Warhawk and that stupid PS3 today.

then ima go out, get Halo and put my limited edition Halo helmet up my @ss so i can be just like you. thanks!!!

[PimpHandHappy]

Thats the way to express yourself! Bravo kid

I only played Halo2 at my buddys house and i liked it but i didnt like the open mic. The open mic trend needs to end when it comes to shooters. I loved Vegas but that dam open mic would have me muting half the ppl on my team. If its the dudes that use the N-word every other word or the kids with there high pitched voice making me think RED HEADED STEP CHILD

I love Warhawk. No game has ever made me feel im am part of a huge war more then this game. I love almost every weapon. Sniper rifle should be a one shot kill more often. The only issue with Warhawk is more ppl need to talk. When u get a team talking in Warhawk u will own the map.

anyway im sure Halo is a ton of fun but Warhawk is just bigger faster and 3rd person. Its in no way cookie cutter like most FPS

peace

[aggh im on fire]

I would go for Battlefield Modern combat online myself......better online than both.

[Xbox is the BEST]

Played both Halo 3 is better. I mean auto aim for Warhawk??? No true skills required. Don't get me wrong it's a fun game but Halo 3 is better.

[Jinxstar]

The reason people will disagree with you is. Circle strafe jumping is not really skill... Warhawks level of balance is imo far superior to Halos in that. Auto aim only comes within a certain range... Lock on targeting is tough as hell sometimes. Team work is absolutely required to win. Balance between turrets, planes, vehicles and players is great, Scale pacing and design are amazing and graphically its great too. For a 40$ game you cant beat it imo. Halo is a freelance style game. Very rarely do I ever see people work together. When they do it... Is not as cool as I would hope. Combat and squad tactics are rare except in tournaments/parties. Regular online it doesn't work... Here is the truth. Halo is a great party game. Hook up 2 TV's and 8 players. Thats fun... Warhawk is just a better online experience. I however would not really like to have a bunch of guys over and play it like I would halo...

[PimpHandHappy]

try staying in ur warhawk and not being shot down. You will need to have ur chaff ready and u better know where all the AA guns are. Or try and return a flag or maybe take a zone. Its semi auto its not full auto aim. If u have played the game u would know this. U still need to put that little dot on the guy or you will waste 3 clips trying to kill the dude.

[Xbox is the BEST]

PSN tag : X360G

[tehcellownu]

Warhawk..Halo 3 is fun just like 1 and 2 nothing really new.

[wangdiddy82]

I think warhawk wins on all levels when it comes to fun and gameplay.. Halo wins when it comes to maps and more content like making ur own maps.. But warhawk has huge maps that are like cities in Grand theft auto..

I like warhawk way better because you can do soo much more.. U can fly a jet on a mountain top drop ur buddy off with a sniper rifle or the awesome binculars and let him take people out.. Than come back and pick him up. I think warhawk is way more in depth..I never play a game in do the same thing, I always do a different roll each game.

Warhawk and halo are both sweet online games but warhawk does it for me.. I also liked call of duty 2 a lot better than halo 2, online wise..

[BenderDGreat82]

throw on a bunch of those attachable mines on to a 4x4 and when you're going towards a base that holds their flag, drive that bad boy towards a bunch of enemies and then jump out of the car...it's like you're sitting back watching an action movie.

[cartman313]

Haha, that's awesome. I need to try that.

[BenderDGreat82]

Ok, now this is a legitimate comment being that I have both games and really enjoy both of them. Quite frankly, I lean a little more towards Warhawk since I've been playing it for 3 weeks and have had so much fun playing every time. Halo 3 is magnificent for the story and really great interactive gameplay...the multi-player match seems a tiny bit dated but still fun nonetheless. Either way, I'm having a great time being a social reject for the next couple of months...:-D

[Nth RooCH]

Question, WHO DID COMPARE IT?! This whole post hinges on someone, ANYONE actually comparing these titles. I personally have not heard or read anyone doing such. Pointless.

[monkey602]

I haveny yet played Halo but I do love a bit of Warhawk.

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

Keep trying droids, just keep on trying. You guys are like a country song "I lost my dog on the MF road and I'm crying over yooou" Warhawk 8s 9s 500,000 copies Halo 3 9s 10s 3,000,000 copies (exageration but you get the point) Maybe you will have better dreams tommorow Droids, then again you guys all own PS3s so your still dreaming of and waiting for 08.

[eleaz14]

thats the only thing you xbox fanboys can say to justify why halo 3 is better?... Silly

I'm not sure what number of players have to do with it. Hype is the reason there was so much people. There were a million pre-sales so even if the game sucked there would still be a million players playing it to not waste the money.

[Relientk77]

this is prolly the gayest comparision on this site EVER ..... ninja gaiden sigma vs gaiden 2 ... ok fine .... killzone 2 vs halo 3 atleast both of these are next-gen shooters so u can kinda say stuff about each but kz2 is still being made/modified

warhawk is a flying game .... halo is a shooting game ... there is no comparsion here at all.... it makes no sense becuz ppl ARE STUPID ... y even approve this article

[damnwrx]

I love this sh!t......Bashing, Flaming.....Y'ALL OWNED BY N4G!

[NextGen24Gamer]

If anyone says that Warhawk is better than Halo 3....Its PURE fanboysim talking and you should never believe anything they say from this day forth.

Its 1000% common sense if you have truly played both as I have. Its not even close. Anything to start a fanboy war. If you haven't played either and you truly want to know which is better.

Here ya go ......

http://www.gamerankings.com... Halo 3 9.6

http://www.gamerankings.com... Warhawk 8.4

Once again. I have played both. I will not even stoop to the level of this ridiculous discussion and ad my thoughts. Its like asking who is better Michael Jordan or Joe Benderson. LOL

[Jinxstar]

Rankings are stupid when comparing MP aspects of the games. Like I said earlier. The reason Warhawk got on average lower scores was no single players mode. Thats what most reviewers said.

A lot of people seem to think this is stupid. I think comparing online shooters is fine. Its all in what each individual likes. Take sides and discuss why you like something. Its fun. People get so heated in here its almost humorous. They are both popular shooters and fun to play. They are very different yet similar in so many ways.

Its not the stupidest debate ever. It's a little bit of a strange comparison maybe... But I think it's valid.

Out of bubbles =P

[PimpHandHappy]

this isnt about sales or about whats the better complete game. This is about what is more fun online....

[cartman313]

Wow man...How did you get so many bubbles with thinking like that? If someone says Warhawk is better than Halo, that does not make them a fanboy. IT IS THEIR OPINION. Those game scores. They are opinions! Use your head man.

[sheng long]

i have both and have fun playing both games, Anyone who chooses one over the other is missing out, simple as that. The games are different, warhawk being a bit more fast paced.
In my opinion, they should've compared Halo 3 to RFOM instead of warhawk.

[INehalemEXI]

They both rock when 1 gets old I play the other. Warhawk I like for dogfights and ground based combat is done well in halo 3.

[bison812]

They are both two different games and I dont know why we are having this conversation. I have both and enjoy them together.

Halo 3 has good multiplayer games
Warhawk has good mulitplayer games

Try not to make a battle it is so sad

[tee_bag242]

Odd post..but
Seriously, Halo 1 was great.. 2 was ok but exactly the same sh#t with 2 guns at the same time - couldn't even be f#cked finishing the monotnous crap. The story line is crap. Halo 3 looks the same again.
Halo 3 wont be a bad game cos its fundamentaly the same as 1 which was good. But no iv had enough Halo to last me a life time thankyou.
Just for the record WarHawk surprised the hell out of me. Didnt expect flying with the 6-axis to be so dam satisfying

[CRIMS0N_W0LF]

Being a fan of battledfield till 2 (2142 was ugly after I got max rank i left it :S) and COD on PC I think 16 player only is ghey.

Also Warhawk is like an arcade version of BF2 which I can play with my friends when they come over. Also it hsa 32 players and rumored 64 players servers which I want.

[NextGen24Gamer]

Warhawk is an enjoyable online game that serves up a fast paced battlefield full of dynamic environments, fun vehicles and a handful of weapons. Incognito has polished their fighter jet to a shine, but the missed a few spots. The lack of an instructions, or bot-controlled players makes Warhawk a little tough to get into for gamers starting late into the action. If the rockets don’t get you the Rambo sized knife will skim a little off the top.

This doesn’t mean Warhawk isn’t worth a test flight, what Warhawk has done is started a great base that hopefully can be expanded upon with downloadable content in the future. If you’re interested in getting online and blasting hours away, Warhawk will suffice, however it’s not going to replace the other options available in the plentiful world of online shooters. Before you purchase Warhawk, I would suggest you grab this one as a rental and judge from there, or just save yourself some cash and download the full version of the game instead of the retail version.

http://www.gamerankings.com...

The problem with fanboys on this site is they are comparing games that...

A. They most likely haven't played either game.

or

B. They have only played Warhawk and haven't played Halo 3.

Then they make comments based on their love for one game without trying the other.

This is what N4G has turned into. People debating games or consoles with little to NO first hand experience with both or either for that matter. WOW....

P.S. The amount of players that can play together doesn't translate into a game being better online.

Developers choose how many players based on balancing and their desired effect and gameplay target. Its not hardware based. The original xbox had a game that was 50 players onine. 25 vs 25. Black Hawk Down.

More is by no means better. Its about the balancing of the maps vs weapons vs Players. And Halo 3 is pure perfection. The balancing is the best I have seen for anygame. There is never a dull moment and the maps are perfectly sized as EVERY reviewer has stated with pure excitement in their reviews.

I mean look at Gears of War. It sweeped every award this year...and it was 4 vs 4. Its about balancing folks...

[frank jaeger]

dude , ur 1 dude who understands completly bubbs for u dude rock on!

[ACE]

halo v that rubish lol .

u hatters are amaing .... give it a rest the 360 owners have one of the best games released for a verry long time .... halo 3 is awsome .............

[eleaz14]

But when its about multiplayer gameplay warhawk is best by far

[demolitionX]

all I can say is... xbox is just a one game console. can't compare sony to MS, sony is always innovative in gaming, they comeup with new ideas and games. what does MS do, NO innovation!! just steal others ideas.

[NextGen24Gamer]

One Game Console? I think there are over 12 million gamers who disagree with you. Just about 7 games sold per console compared to the Ps3's 1.5 games sold per console.

The xbox 360 has sold more games prior to the Halo 3 launch than the Wii and the Ps3 combined as stated at TGS.

Did you say ONE game console? The xbox 360 has more 9.0 rated games than the Wii and the Ps3 combined.

You can't be serious when you make your fanboy comments...This has got to be a Joke.

[Adriokor]

Can anyone please tell me what happened to Warhawk split screen on the official servers?

[pilotpistolpete]

Because they are ranked games and don't allow multiplayer from the same account. I guess it would be easy to cheat.

[NextGen24Gamer]

You are an example of someone who has never played the xbox 360 and xbox live.

Its funny that the people comparing and saything Warhawk is better....are people who when you click on their name don't have an xbox 360 gamertag...which tells me they have never played the xbox 360....

Whats even funnier is that most of those people who don't even have an xbox gamertag...they also don't have a PSN tag....

This is what this site is made up of. People who aren't even gamers....making comments and comparing games.

You can't compare two games if you havne't played the two games you are comparing.

If you look on my name...You will see that I have a ps3 and 360 gamertags....and you can see that I have indeed played Halo 3.

Warhawk is a solid rental for some weekend fun. But its multiplayer needs some downloadable content SOON PLEASE. But Halo 3 is the complete multiplayer experience you can have. Simply Spectacular. And way too much fun. Whether its 4 on 4...or 2 on 2...or 8 on 8. Whether is 4 player co op...ect....Thats why Halo 3 has recieved so many 10's....The multiplayer is that damn good.

I can honestly say this. If you like multiplayer gaming...you are missing out BIG TIME if you ever get to play Halo 3. Its the best Online Multiplayer game available.

If you don't believe me. Wait till all the awards come out for best online multiplayer game of the year. Unreal will be in there...Call of Duty 4 will be in there....Warhawk will be in there....But there will be only one winner....Those are all good games...but Halo 3 wll dominate and what will you say then? LOL....Its not hype....Thats how damn good the online multiplayer is in Halo 3 folks.. WOW

devilsadvocate....I look foward to rubbing it in your face when Halo 3 dominates the award shows. LOL.... You obviously haven't played Halo 3. I enjoy all the Unreal Games don't get me wrong. But Halo 3 is multiplayer perfection. Watch and see kiddo...Watch and see....I also clicked your name and didn't see a gamertag for PSN or xbox live. LOL....Interesting Indeed. LOL

[devilsadvocate]

yes when it comes to awards it will be out of warhawk and unreal, with unreal winning. Halo = hype

just for the record, i own ps3 and wii. Just because I dont want to share my tags publicly, dont mean I aint a gamer

[hardcorehippiez]

i for one am a 360 gamer bt i myself dont have a 360 gamertag because quite simply i dont go live with my 360. however my ps3 is online often and warhawk is a solid game that i enjoy.if halo 3 online is as solid as warhawks then xbox owners should be happy because that added with the single player makes it all the more attractive a package. psn tag hippiez2007

[367 To Your Ass]

halo is not a flight sim ,and warhawk is not a fps.......

I believe heavenly sword was trying to lower some of the momentum that halo3 had. i don't know if it did or didn't

i like them both ............but i think heavenly sword's chick is hot!!

thats it girl just keep on doing that.

[Relientk77]

nice picture haha

[SonySoldiers]

End of story.

[razer]

Each offer a different online experience.. Play both!

[yunus20]

halo 3 is a carton network.its not a game for god sake

[367 To Your Ass]

have you seen him?

[nobizlikesnowbiz]

It's amazing how many idiots are trying to downplay Halo 3's success. Calling it 'mediocre', or 'just another FPS'.

You kids fail.

WarHawk is probably a great game. Play it. Have fun. Stop comparing them.

You just prove how immature you are when you try and compare two games that aren't very much alike.

BTW. Halo 3 saved films feature makes it worth $60 alone. It is amazing. You can have a 5 min match and watch the replay of the great moments for an hour.

[devilsadvocate]

so you play a sub par multiplayer game for 5 minutes against only 15 other people, you record it and then watch yourself playing the same 5 minutes again, a total of 12 times??????? LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yea amazing action there!!!!

I dont actually mean sub par, but you get my point.

[367 To Your Ass]

even in line duty he still get's the job done.

[frank jaeger]

nice photo dude LOL haha

[HateBoy]

Did anyone read the comments on that articles page? Check this guy, hows THAT for retarded?

Gina: Warhawk’s solo campaign is about 8-12 hours shorter than Halo 3’s. And if you think the Halo 3 story sucks…

Reply from Fred: Gina ure stupid. warhawk doesnt even have an single player.its ONLINE only.and halo3 story sucks too hard. same stuff repeated over and over again…

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[gamesR4fun]

Got my hands on halo 3 great game the forge coulda been a lot more and I wish the multiplay could host more ppl but a solid 9-9.5
But whats another fps got on warhawk? Nada. The epic maps the insane combat the huge online matches are maybe the best ever I haven't played another game since I got it nothing compares even with the glitchers. I expect that to be fixed soon tho and it wont be long b4 we get some new add ons.

So props to the 360 owners who are enjoying Halo3 great game but until you try Warhawk you wont know what a next gen should feel like.

[Pika-pie]

Never played Halo Multi so cant and wont comment.

Warhawk is an awesome fun but it needs more maps!

UT3 is for me

[NeonSkull]

a better suited comparison would be warhawk vs shadowrun, both are online only multiplayer games.

[Gran_Turismo]

Lol.. im guessing the title change did it... but lol

http://n4g.com/NewsPendingC...

[Snukadaman]

one game is multiplayer only and one has both multi and single player....they cant be compared....with the problems warhawk has had with getting on the ranked servers and losing ranks doesnt seem too be a problem for ps3 owners...then again if you paid 600 dollars at launch and only had resistance too play i guess you would complain about nothing.

[Jrome]

First I just want to say to EliteGamer...just because people dont' advertise their tags doesn't mean they don't have the system or haven't played the game. Just wanted to clarify. Anyway.

Halo 3 is fun and all...but it gets boring after a while.

Now warhawk on the other hand, ITS CRAAZY! Especially if you're playing CTF or something and someone has the flag..and its like BOOM BOOM BOOM and its just everywhere and u don't even need a surround sound system to hear the surround sound I was like OH SHOOT. It's just explosions gun fire vehicles tanks planes all over it's so intense. You can snipe you can gun people down you can get the binoculars and call air strikes. It's just soooo exciting...AND FOR FREE. And the maps are nice and big so you can really have a huge battle. Running people over, fighting over the middle zone, playing TDM, playing DM, dogfight it's just intense. I get home do my homework...play till 3 in the morning (i try to stop myself but I just keep saying, "after this game")wake up at 6 play for an hour then go to school. Rinse and repeat. ITS INTENSE.

Warhawk hands down. Its just a complete package.

[Jrome]

For those people who complain about the servers...all you have to do is scroll down a little and you join on the first try. Its not sony's fault the game is so addicting. Plus you could just create your own game or play on an unranked server and you could join a service with a few people and it will be packed in no time.

[aaquib2]

OVER HYPED OVER RATED TRRASH. GO BUY WARHAWK + PS3 TO PLAY B3YOND. I THOUGHT WE HAVE NO GAMES? ALL YOU HAVE IS FAILO3 AND GAYS ON WAR.

[ajsmith]

Everyone could see this coming the constant online battle between the sony fan boys and halo nerds as soon as halo 3 was released this is ridiculous. Honestly if these games are so good go play them don't talk about them i have a 360 but not halo because I dont like it but im not trying to start some big argument. I think Warhawk is better and I don't even own a ps3 ive played it several times though. But you ppl that freak out over halo 3's crap graphics or warhawks missing single player need to GET A LIFE. Nothing is ever going to change anyone's opinion halo nerds will be halo nerds and sony fanboys will be sony fanboys deal with it.

[Jandre02]

The single player isnt even worth mentioning. The story sucks, and the graphics are crappy, however the online gameplay is fun as hell. Is it warhawk fun? I dunno, warhawk is pretty good.

Halo is more challenging, and maybe it feels more rewarding to come in first place in a halo map, but the popularity of halo makes it better. If there were as many ppl playing Warhawk as there was Halo, i think warhawk would be better.

[Dmack79]

Warhawk wins in everyway, shape, and form!

[CRIMS0N_W0LF]

Whatever. Once The Orange Box is out on X360 and PS3. X360 Fans will now Halo is crap and PS3 Fans will know KZ2 is crap.

[ParaDise_LosT]

Huxley will be better than both combined xD
UE3+100vs100 Multi Player = :D

[marshman]

I played Halo 2 wasent a big fan. but it is a really good FPS. As for Warhawk I love this game the fast pace, huge maps and up to 32 players is sweet. the thing i hate is when i put the game in just to play for a couple of hours before bed i end up seeing the sun come up the next day. Aww who am i kidding i love that too.
WaRHawK is freakin sweet MP game.

[mikeslemonade]

Halo 3 gives you the red rings and Warhawk I can play for hours. Have fun with your Red Ring 3 game.

[power of Green]

These games are compared because they both have very diverse gameplay never played Warhawk but the reviews and sales do all the talking for me.

[Jdash24]

two great mp games on two great consoles........how can you lose?

[FirstknighT]

Warhawk is good for the kiddies but Halo 3 easily crushes Warhawk. I have played Warhawk and the ground combat is BORING, 3 vehicles is a joke, sniping is last gen, terrible voice communicating which pretty much takes the tactical edge away, and a whole crap load of network problems (terrible stat-tracking, disconnects, takes forever to join games, etc...) The only fun I had was having dogfights in the air. They should of stuck with their original idea and kept it an air combat game.

Halo 3 is easily the king of mulitplayer console gaming. Warhawk is boring.

I challenge anybody here to prove me wrong. But I bet I'll get 10 disagrees before somebody has the balls to reply.

[demolitionX]

u're wrong. i see halo is for kiddies, do u have a color TV? if u like power rangers, halo is the answer

[Ahhhh]

@SonySoldiers - Are you serious? You, sir, are a moron. Get a life.

FanBoys are facking stupid. The End.

First off very few people can give a honest opinion on this subject. Not only do these people need to own both the ps3 and the 360 but they need to be neutral hype wise to both games and be able to give a opinion from a neutral point of view.

To those who keep screaming halo must be better because theres more people playing it. What are you smoking? Did every single one of those halo players play warhawk before? numbers mean nothing when your comparing two games that were hyped differently as well as one is a new franchise while the other one is a tried and proven one. Microsoft spent a huge chunk of money to advertise the game and a fraction of current halo players bought it because they are tv zombies who will buy anything because its advertised a lot.

The author of this article in a thirst for hits on his article is willing to bring up a idiotic topic like this. Who cares which game is better would this warhawk vs halo bring more consumers to the winner? As long as your having fun playing your game and not the type of fun where you think your having fun because all your friends own it, then who really gives a crap.

But if you make comments about xbox 360 games or Ps3 games and you don't have a gamertag to at least give you a tad of credibility....Its not about advertising your gamertag....its about being part of a gaming community. If people you don't know request to be your friend. You can easily not approve them as friends...LOL....

Bottom line is this....Many of the So called Sony fanboys on this site....don't have a ps3 at all nor an xbox 360....yet they fill the comment section up with lies and make believe opinions based off of absolutely nothing....LOL.....

If you don't have a gamertag listed....No one believes you when you speak about the ghost console or games you own....

[Spike47]

warhawk is multiplayer only and is on the ps3, halo 3 has campaign aswell.

wanna compare games? Compare UT3 to halo3 and haze.

[doomsonyman]

wow just wow. who do you think you ARE. you just made a fool of your self infront of all of n4g. saying that warhawk ground combat is boring?? warhawk is way funner then anything gaylo has to offer. your a joke. grow up and stop pissing your pants with your wet nasty dipers you 360 gayboy have fun with your red rings of death "laughs miniecly". ahahah have fun playing your halo 2.5 ahahaha man this comment is funny!!!

[frank jaeger]

dude halo 1 could kick warhawks butt in its sleep ... i dont have and xbox nor a ps3 but alot of my friends do and ive played both games ... and halo was gud and warhawk wasnt bad but... warhawk is a dam ps2 game and if u think all those pple that like halo are gay ... well any1 would rather b gay then support sony's peice-o-crap

nuff said

[Shaka2K6]

Fact.
halo 3 is barely an average fps of the bunch, wait for Unreal 3 for real shooter madness online.

[UltramanJ]

Halo is great. Warhawk is great. Gamers could care less because they enjoy both. Only fanboys who've sold their soul to hardware companies have reason to get their panties in a wad.

[Ultima_Z]

theres no reason for this thing to be put on n4g.com cause WARHAWK is better than sh*tty ass halo 3 12 new things for halo 3 plus u got mapmakin which is really bad cause its not good with a 5-6 guns and 4 vehicles?!? not really and rewind feature ok weer not playin madden so i dont think we need compare a non hyped game to a force hyped to pluto!!! WARHAWK IS FUN all the time u play,u can play it for like 4 hours and not be bored but if u like me u can play halo 2-3 for 30 min. to an hour. so u kno my pic its WARHAWK!!!!WARHAWK!!!

[wil4hire]

N4g is just allowing any form of PS3 Bashing in... I mean Halo 3 and warhawk are two different games, whats better HALO3 or Battlefield2??? Jesus, this clear bias makes me even sick of coming to this site anymore. It used to be a pretty fair site, but I mean they allow some news in from some dude who can't even write?

Come on. Halo3 rocks, as does Warhawk. You cant beat 32 people flying/driving/shooting. Each part of the game is a different experience. Halo3 is more of what we all love! 16 players is just fine for the size of the maps, and as someone else said.. Halo isn't made to be a huge scope.

[Marriot VP]

How can you compare??

Your OPINIONS are nothing solid to go off of, they should only matter to you. If you don't like halo, fine. But if you've barely or never played it, but still bash it because your insecure your a fanboy.

Warhawk 84% overall
http://www.metacritic.com/g...

Halo 95%
http://www.metacritic.com/g...

but, oh wait, microsoft somehow managed to bribe the entire industry right sony fanboys? And it's a joke to think that their little 800$ complementary gift could mean anything of significance when your dealing with 100s of employees and 100,000s of dollars these websites make every month.

Halo 3 wasn't a 95% in my opinion, perhaps 90-95%. But I'm not going to go and to bash sony games, I'll just give you the most concrete ratings that matter way more than your tiny opinion.

[artman]

but graphically I prefer warhawk, I don't think we can compare the gameplay. both had different concept of gameplay.

[freeza]

lol the whole god damn halo game can fit on one warhawk map. sucknutts fansluts

[IRONMAN_X57]

halo3 is halo2, warhawk is strong on ground combat and flying
ITs way more fun to ride and rock triks in a jeep shooting at dudes in warhawks its just more satisfying
XBOTS are in such denial, losers XD

[ALMIGHTYPS3]

Halo3>640>pwnd<

PLAY B3YOND 640>lol!

[The BS Police]

Seriously, I never have had so much fun with a game since Halo 2, and Halo 3's Multiplayer is jsut awesome, the addition of Forge and Saved Films makes things much more fun.

[spike]

Ironman is a dumbass. Halo is awesome. Halo 3 sold alot more than Warhawk so which one is better. Halo 3 no doubt.

[osler109]

I just got done playing Halo for two hours and it's great, I'm glad I bought it. HOWEVER, for multiplayer Warhawk beats it's ass into the ground. Thats non-partial honesty. Don't crap your pants fanboys, stick up for the over-hyped but still great game, but the underdog wins this one clearly.

[Bolts]

Impartial fans who own both console know this, Warhawk is a superior multiplayer game. This is something that the fanboys will never accept but that doesn't change the fact that its true. Dedicated server support alone put Warhawk over Halo 3, and thats not even counting all the other cool gameplay innovations. Hell if Warhawk is a Xbox 360 game it would sell by the truck loads, you can stick a fork in the console war, Xbox 360 win.

Sony is extremely lucky to have Warhawk.

[frank jaeger]

look pple warhawk kinda reminds me of old ps2 battlefront only larger maps ... but if u dudes remember gears of war it had 4v4 and small maps yet it managed to win so many dam awards and beat resistence with flying colours

its not the amount of pple nor the size of the maps but the game itself... if ur ps3 broke down and u bought a xbox think which game would u get? halo 3 duh! for those pple who mindlessly adding comments just to tick pple off rather than make a point.... dudes u need a life

[JJB-360]

For God's sake they're GAMES! Just PLAY them if you want to!

[gamesR4fun]

what more can i say other than FirstknighT is a moron if he knew how to read hed see someone answered him ages ago.
@ FirstknighT what can i say other than thank god for the ignore button.

Edit WOW 70 freaking ignores already pretty much everyone h8 u eh
you think it might be something your doing? Maybe instead of posting your h8 here you should throw out you pc & xbox get a job and some luving and move on...

[BUKKAKALYPSE]

you're damn right! you dont like ps3/xbox360/wii dont buy it..play what you want

If you come to a site to hate on a consol you're not a gamer your a flamer! so for all the gamers out there just go game and for all the flamers out there 347 5H17 4ND D13!!

[FirstknighT]

I get 7 disagrees and nobody had the balls to reply to my challenge. That's what I thought sony losers, just keep on pressing that disagree button and run to momma.

Read my post at #91 and show me who has a backbone.

[demolitionX]

just can't get it. warhawk is just wayyyyyyyyy better than Halo. it's ur own problem that u don't find warhawk is boring. everybody finds it addictive. me honestly i can't spend more than like 30-60min on any game. but when i got warhawk, i find myself playing for 4-5 hours nonstop, the pace of the game and the variation is just incredible. each game is different. can't wait for an update on that game 64 online and more weapons and maps. look out. warhawk is the most underrated game ever, halo is most overhyped game ever. if u can;t get again, it's ur own problem to fix, not anybody's else.

[The BS Police]

That there alot of users here who like to put down Halo 3, they say Warhawk is a better Multiplayer game, but so far many disagree seeing as how Halo 3 has already clcoked in over 5 million games played (according to Bungie employee Achronoes at Bungie.net).

[leon76]

WARHAWK = ROCKS !!!!!!!
HALO3 = SUCKS !!!!!

[mithril]

I know Halo3 have many users, but i don't compare quantity but quality.
it's normal Halo3 have more games played because more 360 on market.

i compare the game.

1- 16 players vs 32, personally i prefer play Warhawk because i like many users game. I never play warhawk in server less than 24 players.

2- vehicles, i prefer vehicles on warhawk and i like plane.

3- FUN FUN FUN, i have more fun with warhawk

it's my personal preference, and if you prefer Halo, it's ok, Halo is a good game. But never compare game with number of players it's not good. It's just normal, more games on Halo because more owner of 360. Not because game is better, good marketing OK.

[Terror2k9]

Everyone seems to forget for these types of games you need communication and when i play warhawk that seems to never work! either the blue tooth screws up or pushing the analog to try to talk someone comes and kills you plain stupid if you ask me. I feel the ps3 downfall in there online is there communication same thing with resistance fom. Halo is definitly the overall better package on all fronts. who knows maybe killzone 2 will be the ps3 savior at least i hope so because my ps3 has been gathering dust lately.

[CRIMS0N_W0LF]

Comparism is a little stupid though.

Between Warhawk and Halo I prefer Warhawk due to I love BF2.

Compare Halo 3 with UT3. Which we all know the obvoius answer. UT3 owns Halo 3 online. It not only kicked Master Chief in the grion but cut his balls and feed them to him.

Also for people who say Halo 3 sold more then Warhawk then Halo 3 is better.

Britney Spears sold more then Pink Floyd then Britney Spears is better?
