Doom 3 vs Half-Life

[xerogeno]

Alright, so, im about to compare two completely different storylines but what the heck. In Half-Life, a bunch of ignorant scientists were fideling with teleportation and caused these aliens to be able to break through from another dimension. In Doom 3 a bunch of ignorant scientists were fideling with teleportation and caused Demons to be able to break through from another dimension. My question is this, whom would u rather attack? A demonic force that will kill all b/c they are...well pure evil? Or would you rather have the Aliens from half-life whom seem to be more instinctual? Who do you think we would have a better chance against? For all of you who havent played Doom 3 you wouldnt understand but, do you think if the demons from Doom 3 had invaded earth there would be no resistance? that they would possess the majority and destroy the rest? And who would win in a fight with combine vs the Demons from that hellish dimension? lol what would happen if the combine opened a portal to Hell and those demons screwed them because of the element of suprised they had in Doom 3?.


P.S. And yes, I realize im flooding with threads now and will shut up for 2 or more weeks.

.... hl2 > doom3

return 0;

[xerogeno]

Heh....yep....the demons in Doom 3 would own the humans alot faster then the good old covys....though master chief wouldnt die to them if that marine u are doesnt. And I wasnt even talkin about halo 2 vs that! lol talkin about what if it had been the demons that had poored out of that portal in BM instead of the aliens? I think earth wouldnt be a wasteland...it would be devoid of life....

Oops...I c what u did....sorry. I mistook that for halo 2 for some reason....idiot me...srry....im dumb...slap me please...and to respond to what I shoulda said to that response is....I think the Hl2 aliens are lenient....the demons in D3 woulda just wyped the planet clean off the face of the universe.

Not really. One Marine (in each of the Doom 3 games) takes all hell can throw at him and still kicks their asses. Just think if we had jet fighters, tanks, nuclear bombs, and all the other technology we have, vs the Demons. THe Demons would be toast. Now I love both games, both are my favorite games but In Half Life 2's story we had all that tech and the combine still destroyed us in 7 hours. Remember the enemies in HL2 aren't the attacking force, they're the occupation force, made up of transhumens not an entire army of synth soldiers.

There are already sooo many of these threads and please do not feel upset when this thread gets closed. Very touchy subject on this forum.

 

[rifle101]

I like the idea of killing zombies. doom3 has its single player and multi player in one main menu I like that. Halflife is high end and is more laggy but still I say halflife is better

You underestimate Doom Marines. Doom Marines are worth a thousand Abrams.

 

[xerogeno]

Well u can say about gordon being a one man army. But heres the thing. The marine in D3 got LUCKY. if u notice mostly...if not ALL of the marines in D3 along with the group living there died...cept this one gosu marine....Gordon plays same role in HL2 as does Master Chief in Halo. so I c what u all mean about tough marines in D3 but Ur theo nly real dude who survived the masscre on mars...I think if the demons had spawned on earth we wouldnt of survived....and i doubt we would use nukes...just like what people have said why we didnt nuke the citadels

 

[Pesmerga]

Well I can't argue with that.

 

[UltimaApocalypse]

Doom 3 wasn't that great. I got tired of having ONE objective but there was something in the way of that objective.

Kelly: Marine! get to the communications tower!
*I get there*
Kelly: Marine! Communications is down. Get to the satallite!
*I get there*
Kelly: Marine! Do 1000 other useless tasks!

I also hated how it seemed that all they did was just throw some enemies around every corner, for the entire length of the game.

HL2 is better than Doom 3 all around. Period.

 

[99.vikram]

A strider can take down any demon. 'nuff said.
And don't get me started on gunships. They ownz.

 

[xerogeno]

yeah...I agree...Doom 3 isnt that great of a game...I wasnt comparing the GAMES themselves...What i was comparing was whether or not the earth would still be in existence if it was the Demons from Doom 3 that had sprung out of BM and not the aliens from HL2.

 

[Cole]

At first thought I'd say Doom 3's Demons could own the shit out of you...but you forget. The Combine have yet to even show a fingernail on earth..hell they basically just used Modified Humans to fight Humans....so I would be more scared of the Combine teleporting in and kicking my ass.

An Army of Pure Striders & Gunships and falling Citadels pwns an Army of hellish demons.

 

[xerogeno]

your forgettin how powerful some demons are. 3 hellknights could pull a striders legs out from under them. and they can throw plasma. and they can spawn anywhere hells shadow has fallen. You also must consider how many people/animals would become possessed. and what if the cyber demon had spawned on earth? if that had happened you would be screwed b/c u need the soul cube to defeat it. and what about the 3 Hunter demons from the expo? the possession alone largely was why the base fell so fast.

I think it's abit of a silly question.

 

[Murray]

Dude, we've had these kinds of threads now since the dawn of time. Well, since the dawn of Doom 3 and Half-Life 2 anyway. To think people were speculating wether Doom 3 was better before HL2 even had got released.

And to get to the task at hand. HL2 > Doom 3. Period.

 

[AJ Rimmer]

*sigh* I hoped we were past these kinds of threads by now.

 

[bbson john]

Alien in HL is smarter, they communicate with each other.

I just saw the Doom movie (Cool as) and i was thinking of playing the game (Doom 3) that has been siting on my pc unplayed ever, should i even boot her up and give it ago or Wash with window washer?

Well if it's just sitting there on your PC, you might as well play it (if you meet the system requirements of course).

As for who I'd most prefer to fight...definately the Xen creatures. I haven't played through Doom 3, but I have repeatedly played through the previous incarnations. The demons seem to contain more projectiles in their arsenal, and as such are more tricky to take down (especially in groups). Although, that being said, when you try and pair up the similar baddies from both games, the preferred choice isn't as clear:

Spider Mastermind vs. Gonarch (Big Momma) <- Winner: Mastermind
Imp vs. Vortigaunt <-------------------------------- Winner: Vortigaunt
Lost Soul vs. Headcrab <---------------------------- Winner: Lost Soul
Demon (Pinky) vs. Bullsquid <---------------------- Winner: Bullsquid
Cacodemon vs. Alien Controllers (Flyers) <-------- Winner: Cacodemon
Hell Night vs. Alien Grunt <-------------------------- Winner: Hell Night
Gargantua vs. Mancubus <-------------------------- Winner: Gargantua
Cyberdemon vs. Nihilanth <------------------------ Winner: Cyberdemon



OK, those match-ups probably could be better, but I still think the demons would be a tougher opponent than the Xen creatures. I didn't even include horrors such as Pain Elemental, Baron of Hell, Revenaunt, or the Archvile.

 

[Remus]

Hmm... this thread gives me an idea to start a game boss deathmatch thread:naughty: .

Anyways I think if the Combine accidentally opened a portal to hell they would get their asses kicked advanced tech or not, period.

 

[xerogeno]

Well....I know the combine is tough and would hold their own, but yeah..like you said.. lets say the combine opens up a portal to hell...first thing would happen is about everyone in the immediate area and around 50 miles out from that area would become possessed and under demonic control....and within that raidus the demons would spawn...though I think the combine could ultimately push back the demons I think they would have a problem if....the Cyber Demon had spawned considering they need the soul cube...which is not only on mars but mars is in a different dimension then the combine world is right? hehe....so...yeah.. I do think though the combine would stand a chance if they didnt have to face such people as the Cyber Demon and the 3 Hunter Demons from the exp which u need that heart artifact to destroy them to counter their abilities....except for the speed demon... But the ultimate reason the Mars Base in D3 fell so quickly was because the Demons had the element of suprise and around 95% of personal became posessed...If the posession hadnt of happened the marines woulda grouped together and wooped the demons so fast they wouldnt have caused all those problems..So the only reason the combine could get beatin is if the demons popped in real fast(like in D3) and took over around 95% of the personal in the immediate area(like they did in D3) And the problem with them spawning on earth is...thats where we live....in Mars it was still containable.....personally I think Dr. Betruger(evil scientist who let it happen) shoulda made a portal on earth to do this if that was his goal in the first place.....

Stupid Doctor...

Cacodemon vs. Alien Controllers (Flyers) <-------- Winner: Cacodemon
Cyberdemon vs. Nihilanth <------------------------ Winner: Cyberdemon

Nooooooope.

damn straight

enough is enough.

Spider Mastermind vs. Gonarch (Big Momma) <- Winner: Mastermind
Imp vs. Vortigaunt <-------------------------------- Winner: Vortigaunt
Lost Soul vs. Headcrab <---------------------------- Winner: Lost Soul
Demon (Pinky) vs. Bullsquid <---------------------- Winner: Bullsquid
Cacodemon vs. Alien Controllers (Flyers) <-------- Winner: Cacodemon
Hell Night vs. Alien Grunt <-------------------------- Winner: Hell Night
Gargantua vs. Mancubus <-------------------------- Winner: Gargantua
Cyberdemon vs. Nihilanth <------------------------ Winner: Cyberdemon

HAHAHAA... wait. You're not joking? :|

Spider Mastermind vs. Gonarch (Big Momma) <- Winner: Gonarch
Spider mastermind has a high rate-of-fire, but in strength it pales in comparison to Gonarch, with it's acid attack and baby-launching abilities.

Lost Soul vs. Headcrab <---------------------------- Winner: Headcrab
The classic headcrabs are harder to target and more numerous than lost souls. And we haven't even considered fast, poison varieties and the corresponding zombies.

Cyberdemon vs. Nihilanth <------------------------ Winner: Nihilanth
Period. If I remember correctly, Nihilanth takes 10 crossbow shots, 125 shotgun shells, 100 AR rounds, your full Gauss capacity and a few crowbar hits to take out.

And we haven't even touched upon tentacles, ichthyosaur, houndeye...

So, if demons took on the Xenians it's clear who would win.

 

[hari66]

have a feeling u spent a bit too much ammo on nihilanth!!!!

but ur right.at the risk of being repetitive, doom 3 is a claustrophobic journey thru a mass of narrow corridoors lined by umpteen tubes performing god knows what. and manipulating the PDA was a real pain.very resource hungry and nothing much to show for it.
give me hl2-or for that matter,hl- any day.

 

[Asknoone]

I just saw the Doom movie (Cool as)

You kid?

Anyway. Cyberdemon vs Nihalinth? Haha, the Cyberdemon couldn't fight it's way out of a paper bag.

 

[A True Canadian]

Well at least I picked the correct non-Xenian winner in the Hell Night/Alien Grunt matchup.

Spider Mastermind vs. Gonarch (Big Momma) <- Winner: Mastermind
Imp vs. Vortigaunt <-------------------------------- Winner: Vortigaunt
Lost Soul vs. Headcrab <---------------------------- Winner: Lost Soul
Demon (Pinky) vs. Bullsquid <---------------------- Winner: Bullsquid
Cacodemon vs. Alien Controllers (Flyers) <-------- Winner: Cacodemon
Hell Night vs. Alien Grunt <-------------------------- Winner: Hell Night
Gargantua vs. Mancubus <-------------------------- Winner: Gargantua
Cyberdemon vs. Nihilanth <------------------------ Winner: Cyberdemon

 

[Rizzo]

I do belive demons from hell whould beat Xen wildlife damnit. And the other stuff.

 

[xerogeno]

The trick with the cyberdemon is its immune to all weapons cept for the Soul Cube...even the BFG doesnt hurt it. And I don think the demons themselves would actually kill off the combine...I ment the Demons suprise attack/posession thing they pulled in D3

 

[Eejit]

You can't compare the bosses because D3 requires you go find some lame excuse for an artifact to kill teh uber boss whereas HL2 has a bit of class.

Half-life 2 gave you the superhero feeling without resorting to lameass boss fights. When I destroyed the chopper at the end of water hazard, it gave me a sense of "revenge is mine" which no other game has given me.

Also: Gargantua would whoop any Demon below the strength of a boss with also no problems (althought the Vagary boss was weak, so probably that as well)
Lets not even get started on a Tentacle, no one knows exactly how many heads it can grow or how much bigger it would have got if it hadnt been killed.
A controller could take out any airborne demon due to the fact their projectiles are more numerous, and cacodemons are large targets.

The Cyberdemon may be "invincible" but only to your marine, it cant hit a thing with that rocket launcher, and its slllooooooooow. Wheras the Nihilanth uses far more powerful energy attacks AND could just teleport the Cyberdemon into a bottomless pit if so it wanted.

[Adabiviak]

I smell a crossover - the Combine use Hell as a teleport relay to get to earth.

I think the Combine would win. If we assume they are evenly armed, the Combine have better intelligence and work in groups. Coordinated efforts will typically work better than uncoordinated efforts, but again, this is based on the assumption that they are evenly matched. If we're debaing who's got the best firepower (which would then determine who would probably win), I'd still say the Combine, namely the Striders, Gunships, etc.

 

[kinggi]

I was blown away innitially by doom 3, however it was actually too long and after 20 hours of killing demons the same way over and over i came out thinking it was merely a great game. I can appreaciate it from a design standpoint as its definately polished and very freaky. Half life 2 is so much more though. Variety in gameplay, great story and character interaction. Better art design. The world just felt way more complete.

 

[highlander]

IMO , hl > doom 3

 

[GardenFreshmint]

Doom. too plasticy. heads not nice. Half life 2. great realistic texture. great voice acting. great story. Winner Half life 2 !!!

Half life 2 and Doom 3 are 2 totall different things.
