MP: UT>>>> Halo 3

Single Player: Halo 3>>> UT

also remeber both games are 6 months away at least. Any word if the XBL vista tie in will support UT? i know they are talking about having pc games playable online vs the same game on the 360....

from looking at the so called Pre Alpha screeens. i say UT all the way. but then again when Epic shows Pre Alpha Pics, they end up looking almost the same as the finished product. so im just only assuming that bungie will be doing the same.  and its been this way since the first UT came out. wow the year when UT vs Quake Areana lol.

That's what I mean. In the prealpha shots bungie didn't even include the grass for ****s sake. We'll have to wait and stuff. Maybe the beta will be a better indication of the final product.

The Halo 3 engine is constantly being updated so that the game looks and plays like one would expect from a next-generation first party game that has been in the making for a while and has had a lot of money pumped into it.

Indeed. Also the unreal engine will probably turn out better overall. Epic is used to making engines, and the current one is doing some great work with gears. We'll see maybe in a few months because betas usually give a decent impression of the final game.

Halo 3 uses same engine as Halo 1 and 2, but heavily upgraded. So, from a technical standpoint, I wouldn't be surprised if UE 3 is better.

for me

graphics- Halo 3 - my reaosning is, UT2007 does not look that good right now and halo is coming out november most likely. i also like halo's art style but thats pure opinion

gameplay- ive always liked halo better than unreal tournament. ut just doesnt do it for me, just not my type of game. maybe its because i dont like pc shooters? i really only liked half life and system shock- the fast paced ones, in comparison to console faster pace games, ust feel chaotic- not that theres a lot going on at once but that its cluttered and just stops being fun

do you mean gameplay? UT is definately  fast paced but halo isnt slow paced, SS and HL are slow.

Halo 3 engine is processor intensive rather than GPU(Not the best graphics). They have very intelligent A.I. Always have.

I like Unreal Tournament more than Halo because it's faster paced.

That applies even more to the Unreal Engine....You could play UT04 on a onboard video card pretty well, as long as you didnt go to higher resolutions.....

 

All the textures in UE are done by the CPU....Since if your CPU was stronger then your GPU, you could raise the texture detail in game without your FPS even dropping a single bit....

Both engines aren't that impressive, IMO.  At least Halo 3 tried to do some sort of crazy global illumination thing, but to me it just looks like a lot of lightmaps.

The engine for Heavenly Sword sounds like its gonna be awesome, though.  And of course, there's always CryEngine 2.  8)
