Halo probably has better online battles and it also lets you do splitscreen co-op which is huge but I think Fracture has a much better Offline Single player mode than Halo. The stages are nicer, the objectives are alot clearer, the weapons are way cooler, and the combat is more fun. I even like the story alot more. Besides all that there is the whole terraforming thing which halo doesnt even have anything similar

The only thing I am slightly disappointed in with this game is #1 You can't snap to cover. Snap to cover games have really spoiled me and I just love the mechanic and love having firefights from cover(mass effect, gears, kill.switch, army of two, etc etc). #2 is no weapon upgrade system or character improvement system. At the very least let us unlock more ammo or something. When I see the beautiful character models it makes me think of Too Human and makes me wish there was a loot system in the game to let us build our own armored suit and weapons.

Does anyone else feel the same or violently disagree??

My opinion is fracture was rubbish.. the story was actually terrible in my opinion... Halo 3 has its positives & negativs... the online in Halo 3 is amazing & its only competitior is Call of Duty... those 2 are in a league of their own... so I disagree with you

I think Superkoolstud's reply was the most accurate lol. How can you bash Fracture soooo bad and claim that Halo is so above and beyond when they play exactly the same?? Just with different guns and a different story??

I guess I should play Fracture first but after reading critic reviews for both games, I fail to see how they could play the same? They might very well play the same but if Fracture doesn't have Halo's polish and shine, then how is it worth playing?

Define Halo's polish and shine??? _AbBaNdOn
Well, when you compare it to another game, let's take Gears 1 and 2 (because those I have played and I still enjoy them), you then have to take into consideration all of the glitches, which Halo does not have. That's how I define polish and shine. You can have all the features you want but if the gameplay is glitchy, then it needs more polish. Plus Halo does 4 player co-op, which Gears 1 and 2 do not. Now I'm not saying Fracture has glitches, I haven't played the game so like I also said, I guess I need to. Besides the terraforming, what does Fracture do better? Halo's matchmaking is at the top in my opinion because it allows for social and ranked and up to 4 players on one console for anything in matchmaking. There was two things I didn't like about Halo 3 campaign: Those annoying slow down psuedo cinema scenes that you can't skip and that there wasn't really a huge battle like in that diorama scene they built (don't know if you saw that video or not but it's on the internet somewhere). Halo didn't really innovate anything (That's not necessary for a game to be good or fun anyways) but it does bring everything together into one nice neat package.

Well like I tried to specify I think Fracture is only better than Halo in single player offline. I acknowledge the fact that Halo has splitscreen co-op(which is huge) and I dont know what Fracture has for online content as im purely an offline gamer but Halo probably beats fracture there to. Single-player just has better weapons, better stages, terraforming.

I agree with the other comments: How can you compare the shockingly bad fracture to Halo. They're in completely different leagues. I'm not even the biggest fan of Halo games but still...

How do you even begin to compare 2 different games that are different genres? And to compare it to Halo...oh boy. Halo gets the best aftermarket support of ANY game. The Devs gave up on Fracture the day after it was released. There's my contribution, now let the list begin!

Umm I'm gonna have to respectfully disagree. Everything about the game is strictly average at best, it's very buggy, and the terraforming mechanic is extremely shallow, no pun intended. And yes I did play the SP whole game, multiple times actually since I finished it in less than a day. I did a review of it on GS so you can read that if you like.

No they don't whatsoever. And his reply was it was so bad that he wouldn't waste space on his hardrive for the demo. Not what you said.

The demo was abhorrent. The shooting and movement just plain sucked. Oh! but it has terraforming! That's no excuse for crappy gunplay.

I loved Fracture, probably one of my top 10 favorite single player games. Probably a little exaggeration saying it's better than Halo, but to each his own right? But in your first paragraph TC, it's terraDEforming, not terraforming. :)

then how do you know it sucks?

I know it sucks because Gamespot, IGN, and 1up told me so. If all 3 sites say the game sucks then it must be true.

**IMPORTANT** While I in no way take back anything I have said I just beat the game and.....well its is EXTREMELY short. 3 chapters which can be crushed in 6 or less hours. Maybe it doesnt even have anything to do with why other people hate the game but I would now have to partially agree. That amount of play time is pretty unforgivable. I think its a shame because I really loved the combat. (movement and gun combat were fine to me but then again i actually played the finished version). If it would have had 9-13 more chapters it would be awesome.

I play both Fracture and Halo. Fracture was better than some games. The enemies are good. The game was fun. Like Dead Space, its demo was not good. They pick the worse levels in the games to make the demo from. I do like Halo more but Fracture is not a bad game.
