These aren't comparable. TF2 is a heavily teamwork-based game. Halo 3, you can basically dominate a team by yourself if you are good enough.pyromaniac223

You mean if the other team is bad enough. Little of both. But not matter how good you are at TF2, you aren't going to dominate the other team by yourself if the other team actually knows the basics of the game.

Again, if the other team knows the basics. As in, shoot the medic.

You've obviously never seen an expert offensive engineer. If you place your sentry right, and don't simply try to turtle one spot you can be a greater offensive power than any other class. A level 3 sentry practicing area denial while waiting for a demoman to shoot it from around the corner has nothing on a level 1 sentry, constantly repositioning to areas deep behind enemy lines where you'd never expect, while an engineer distracts you long enough for the sentry to get you in it's sights, providing the engineer hasn't already killed you himself.
BTW, don't tell me that a skilled enough team can beat a good offensive engie, of course they can. Still, any class, played well, engineer or otherwise, can provide a serious threat to a team.
TF2 is definitely a better multi player experience than Halo 3.
I play both games extensively... well actually they are basically the only two games I play at the moment.
It really is a toss up for me though, I think both are fun and addicting for their different gameplay elements. Both excellent run and gun type shooters.
TF2 is easily one of, if not the best online multiplayer game this generation.... Not just for the gameplay itself, but the extension of its style and personality into the community, and the massive cult following it has gained. However saying that Halo 3 online is exellent, and what i'd say is the definative 'console' online game.

A great Spy in TF2 can be an absolute moster against a team.
While they're different MP FPS', I like TF2 a lot more. By far the best MP FPS this gen IMO. Well designed maps, all classes are fun to play, teamwork is critical, and it sets a new standard for multiplayer mayhem. I've had more fun with Payload than anything else any other FPS has offered online. It's unbeatable at this point, and I find that it doesn't get the same recognition as Valve's other games (IMO this is Valve's only amazing game), and even though teamwork is critical, there's more than enough to show off individual skill. It's one of the few games I can't find a flaw for even if I nitpick.
id like to be able to say TF2, i have it for the PC but dont have the insane amount of time availible to get good at it. and the community dispises nOObs. So ive yet to have a game that ive enjoyed.

Join UKCS server it is sehr friendly ;)Agreed compared to games like Counter Strike, TF2 is very very newbie friendly - not just the general community on servers I play (AU Internode and GameArena usually), but the game design means you dont necessarly have to have 'pro skills' in a particular field. Trying a class like Medic or Engy might do the trick, even Heavy or Pyro. That and Darkplace (still is) awesome.
I don't think you can compare the two, either. They are about as far away from each other as two games can get and still be in the same genre.
That being said I much prefer TF2 on the PC. I played Halo 3 for a few weeks but only because I loved the first Halo. The other two are mediocre games to me, but I did like the end of Halo 3; I still like Master Chief.

I guess I learned a long time ago to tune that crap out. Throwing words like "pro" and "noob" around just means to dorky to live.

Oh yes, spread the good word :D
