Halo 3 looks better than Resistance.

But that's not the point here.

More players =/= better game. Bungie themselves stated they didn't want an overload of people, because it would take away from the personal level, and it would be too hectic anyway.

640p > 720p?

Resistance looks better, has destructable enviorments and has more units on screen at once.

Since you won't answer him I will

The reason why Resistance has more players online is because the laggy peer to peer online play of Xbox Live would create too much lag. Also the 360 can barely handle the game as it is, that's why they down scaled it to non HD standard defintion 640p

Yeah that's what I thought, though I'm not too sure. Dedicated servers versus P2P.

two words...

Dedicated Servers


something pc gamers are used to, and ps3 owners are getting used to. 360 mostly uses p2p, because it is cheaper than renting servers. there are some games on 360 that use them tho from what i heard.

uh yeah, all the time. Max players you can have on a team is 20. Max you can have in a party is 20. Total players in the larger maps would be 40.

Nothing wrong with that. Halo isn't a game that works best like that... Resistance is a game themed in War, so I'd imagine if you are playing a war game. more players seems likely for online play, cause it creates that "wartime" feel. MoH: Heroes 2 on Wii will have 32 players as well, another War themed game.

Halo isn't exactly like that. It's more a methodical shooter, that takes a dip in the more strategic zone. Knowiing when to use grenades and not, what weapons to carry on in the battlefield, and so on. 16 players is just more sweet, cause when you have buddies working together, it feels good. Like me, I like playing with three of my other friends online and going on ranked matches. We do very well, and it just feels right. There's no need to have a massive amount of people like 40 in Halo, because it's not needed. The maps are designed well enough to make the battles feel intense, and that next corner supenseful.

I personally don't need too many people online either, because then vehicles and other things become useless. It just becomes a waveless death after death of people.

LOL ,yet lemmings will say the scale in single player is awesome because soo much action and big levels. Sadly that couldnt carry over to multiplayer, 16 players and last-gen size maps, 640p and zero anti aliasing.

RFOM was just plain fun to play. Nothing innovative but just plain fun.

Pretty impressive though how 40 player online is so lag free for the most partand runs so smooth.

Guess Bungie could't do that with XBL's peer to peer networking??

Why would I need 40 players on a map. I hardly can keep track of my8teamates on halo. I enjoy a smaller mactch like 6V6 cause there is more room to run around and evade shots, instead of dying on every respawn when theres more players. Sorry TC, this is weak damage control, 9.5 still stands!

That's not what the developers said. ;) Resistance also scored lower then Halo 3 even with 64 player online support. Go figure.

There are no "player types" in Halo. Or Resistence from what I know. Now what's the advantage?

Not at all. They were good, but RFOM was less colorful game than halo. A desaturated game tends to look better on screen, (Gears of War). Halo is very colorful, just alone the first level shows it. I dont think they can be fairly comparable.
