And you just figured this out?
i've that there was gonna be a Halo 3 for about 2 months now. I dont think its true because for one Bungie's not even makin it. 2 its takin too short of a time to make to be out by the time the PS3 will be out. Halo And Halo 2 Are the Only decent games for xbox, Ghost Recon 2 is another good game for Xbox, but they are only fun if your good like me and you have live.
And dont say that Ghost Recon 2 is on ps2, the ps2 version sux, same with chaos theory, And Ghost Recon 2 for xbox is an entirely Different game than GR2 for PS2. Personally i dont think that Halo 3 Will Be a game, I think it will be the Halo movie that is scheduled to come out in 2007 or 2008, Made by Universal and Fox pictures.

And dont call me a Fanboy or anything like that I like each System Equally, xcept for GC i hate the piece of crap, but if you want better Graphics and Nearly Lag-Free gaming go with Xbox. Halo and Halo 2 with Xbox Connect and Xbox Live is totally getting an Xbox for those reasons. Otherwise i would go with a PS2 Since most of my Fav games are on it anyway.

Don't get me wrong here, I prefer the PS2 by a long shot, I just don't like to be a fanboy and say everything about something is crap just because I like something else better.

Just a question...Why do people have to hate something because they don't have it. And yes the XBOX does have many more popular games than just Halo 2. Would you like a list?

Fable
KOTOR/ KOTOR 2
Crimson Skies
SC Series (PS2 version are shyt compared to this)
Dead or Alive series
Ninja Gaiden
Rainbow 6 series
Jade Empire
Forza Motorsport
Project Gotham
Doom 3
Many more folks and those are mostly exclusives. And also there is no denying it folks, the XBOX hardware totally pwns the PS2'S. Almost all games shared between the box and PS2 will always get better reviews on the box.

But don't get me wrong here, I prefer the PS2 by a long shot, I just don't like to be a fanboy and say everything about something is crap just because I like something else better.

My God, How many times do I have to go threw this.
Both games have different themes (Halo is based upon the Future, as Socom is based upon the Modern era) Yes they are indeed both shooters but differ in ways that are too obvious to be explained.

SOCOM is a Military Based Modern Era game, there are Terrorists who plot global Problems. Modern weapons and tactics are used. Stealth is also a key factor contained in SOCOM (Preferably Offline).

HALO is a Military/Future Based Game, you are being threatened by both Aliens and Zombies(Covenant and The Flood). You don't use really use stealth in HALO at all, it's an all out warzone. The Weapons and Tactics are based upon the Future and differfrom SOCOM in EXTREME ways.

The only things that these 2 Disputed games have in common is Online Play. Obviously these two games contain 2 completely different kinds of gamers. Halo players can stick to Halo and not worry about SOCOM and the same applies for SOCOM players (Forget Halo). If the games are so different then why even dispute which one is better. It gets real old if you ask me.

You hit the nail on the head, Atomic... just take a look at the ports of GTA3, Vice City, and San Andreas for easy proof for this statement that you've made. The lag found in SOCOM 2 online is less annoying than listening to fanboys say such things!!! hehe

I'd Like to point out somthing wrong with this statement. SOCOM Utilizes Stealth in the Campaign and with SOCOM online its more run and gun than sneaking up behind someone and killing them(reffering to melee attacks), If you were any good at Halo, you would know that Stealth Is a KEY Factor in both Online (whether it be Xbox Live Or Xbox Connect) and Offline in Campaign Mode. (This example is in campaign.)For Example Halo has a Motion Tracker and by using that you can tell where the enemies are and which direction they are facing(i say again IF YOU ARE GOOD), thus that gives you the ability to crouch down, and approach the enemy from behind and "assasinate" him, thus utilizing the operation known as "Stealth". A Multiplayer Example is Say I am defending My base. I crouch down and walk like that. (that makes me not appear on his motion tracker) while he just runs into my base via the front door without even looking in the general direction i can tell exactly what he's doing without him knowing what im doing and i can get behind him and kill him without firing a shot. I have Played with some of the best Halo players on Xbox Connect and Xbox Live. and they hardly ever stand up and run, unless its necessary to run in an open field. and more than 75% of the players level 30 and up "*****" The Active Camoflauge which turns you invisible for a set amount of time. (I know I'am a Level 22 and i have Played plenty of games with level 30's and up. Stealth is key for sneaking past or behind the more powerful foes in campaign expecially when playing on Legendary mode, rather than shooting them and you die seconds later. Just Dont think that because in Halo you are the best of the best in the galaxy that its all Run and gun and blow everything up, because its not. Why Would they put the Active Camoflauge in the game if there was no Stealth?

I'am NOT saying that these games are alike or different. i was just pointing out something you had wrong about Halo (My favorite game of all time.)

All examples where from Halo 1 and Halo 2 Online and Campaign.
Campaign Examples where from the Covenant only levels DO NOT i say again DO NOT get me started on the Flood Levels and Stealth.

EDIT: I'm just curious to know how much you have played Halo. For ex: if you have live, what difficulties you have played it on, what difficulties you have beaten it on, How much you play it. I am Referring to Halo 1 And Halo 2

Thank you aylias for pointing out that there is a huge diffrence in both games. I myself play both.
