Doom VS. Halo
Which one is better? I'm going for Doom all the way. Halo isn't all that great.

Doom by default.

Ask this same question on the Halo board and compare results...Doom is classic and I played it when I was like, 5, but Halo is much more improved. Both are just fine.

You are incorrect. Doom was released by ID software for the PC Platform. The 3d shooter 'Marathon' was released almost simultaneously by Bungie. Bungie, then released Marathon's 2 and 3, all of which were technological and storyline precursors to Halo. The basic premise of Halo, that of fighting an evil alien race while following a detailed storyline, was used in Marathon.
Not to detract from Doom's overall greatness, but with or without it Halo would be around. And ofcouse as mentioned in another post Wolfenstein3D was released prior to DOOM.
The first Marathon came out in late 1994. a full year after Doom. I figure Bungie wanted to make an FPS so they looked at id software's ideas and decided to run with a similar game for those bored Mac users. I've never given crap to Bungie about Marathon because when it came out into a world of Doom clones, it simply wasn't. When I picked up Halo, the only thing that came to my mind was, Doom clone, :). Doom is responsible for Marathon, Halo, Duke Nukem, Half-Life etc.. Wolfenstein is responsible for Doom. id software is responsible for FPS. 'nuff said.

what about Quake??
shareDoom wins. No competion. Master Chief just sucks compared to the Doom guy.
shareHow about you compare Doom3 which is a bit closer in QUALITY to Halo. I like Doom3's chainsaw more then the Original Doom's. On multiplayer there is nothing funnier then chasing someone with a massive chainsaw down a hallway while there trying to reloa...
Definitely good *beep*
but original doom kills doom3.. doom3 is nothing compared to old doom..

You got it backwards. Doom 3 pwns Doom.
shareThat dumb ass from doom looks tough? wow!! You need an eye surgery
shareHalf life 2 owns both of those games, how could you forget about half life 2?
shareThe one thing that should be brought to attention is that both games are from different era's in gaming history. To compair the two is not really fair. To be honest both games are great for their own reasons.
shareWithout Doom there would be no Halo, or Half-Life for that matter. That's true and all, but you gotta admit that Halo and HL are still pretty sweet anyways. But I'll go with Doom, just because I still sometimes play it - Doom 2 that is. Classical!
shareHalf Life 2 sucks balls
shareif it weren't for Doom, there wouldn't even be a Halo.
I agree with Doomer4life. As you know, Wolfenstein 3D was really one of the great 3d shooter, until Doom came out a year later. Anyways, Doom is the 1st big thing to came out of ID Software. 11 years later, Doom³ was released. The graphics were sleek and awesome, but the *beep* is too dark and have to use a flashlight. Doom still lives up to its name to be a classic.
I can't stand Halo! I've played Doom since I was like 5 or 6! So Doom no contest!
HAIL TO THE KING BABY!
Doom... ALL THE WAY
Halo is way too slow
So is this doom 3 vs Halo or doom 1?
Either way I like Halo more, doom is far too repeditive (I know what you may be thinking, yeah, Halo does recap levels in the second half of the game) running down hallways killing demons until things get really cool at hell and then you get more sweet weapons.
Halo isn't a doom clone, it can't be, they aren't even very similar.
Halo- Aliens, robots and HNKSZD (Hyper Ninja Killer Space Zombies of Doom, I know I just said doom) and is more upbeat with lots of run and shoot action with allies.
Doom- Zombies and giant phycotic hell demon things, doom is more of a scary dark game that does last longer with lots of walk slowly with your flashlight all by yourself.
Besides Master Chief kicks ass and would whup every demon in doom sideways.
The doom guy doesn't say much,(or anything) I still like him.
No contest...Doom (the mother of all FPSes). I never EVER liked Halo (and yes, I have played it more than once, both 1-player and death match), and I feel that without Halo, the Xbox would have nothing aside from some second-rate original titles and popular games you could get for the PS2, Cube, and PC as well. Plus, I never got used to the whole "you-can-only-hold-two-weapons-at-a-time" situation Halo presents. Maybe I've played DOOM too much to appreciate the reality? So, in the end, DOOM all the way.
shareIts too hard to compare these two games.
Halo has more story and more strategy.
Doom is more run like a mofo and shoot anything that rears its head.
Doom is the best of its kind, and halo is the best of its.
I love Doom. There's something so fun about actually getting to go into hell and kill everything you run in to.
I'd say Halo is a mix between Half-Life and Doom. Half-Life gives you alot more direction and interaction from characters on screen where as Halo most of your interaction is over the com. So you've got alot of the loner mentality of Doom in Halo because of limited direct interaction. Doom wins the loner mentality because you always feel REALLY alone in Doom. It's freaking creepy. And Half-Life is simply the best FPS of all time.
Overall I never much liked Halo. In fact I think it may be the worst FPS I've ever played. And before anyone thinks I didn't give it a chance, I've beaten it in single player on PC and X-Box, and I've multiplayered it with friends dozens of times. I also got a chance to be the first person in my state, outside of game developers, to get a chance to play the first Halo. (I was the first person on the system at a pre-launch x-box party that took place several months before the system release) I didn't think much of it then either.
Master Chief is stupid, and Halo is overrated bullcrap. When you get out of school you'll understand.
shareGanstaman, you're a dumbass. Yes, Wolfenstein 3D was the first popular FPS. However, without the technology of DOOM, games might not look the way they do today. FPS's would be much different. There would be no shotguns, deathmatches, and the like. All FPS's would be more unrealistic, with lives and points.
shareDoom all the way, considering that it was the first fully textured 3D world. The technology used was a first in video games. Halo just sucks, theres nothing new to the game, everything is the same as any other FPS, why everyone bums halo so much I will never know, I think the game is crap and every copy of it needs to be burnt in my fire
shareYou're an imbecile.
share
doom of course its the first FPS game to come out i got every 1 of em great old skool games
Doom all the way. It is the best first person game ever.
shareyeah wolfenstein came out before doom, but wolf3d really wasn't that cool. It was 3d (sorta), but it didn't have the variety of guns, explosions, shotgun sound effects, blood, level depth, graphics, or game pace of doom. I still play the orginal doom today, you get a feeling from it modern games have forgotten. It has this darkness about it, you don't have to go through stupid tutorial levels, you can just use the arrow keys and don't have to worry about precise aiming. The levels aren't super complicated, I hate it when in some games you kill all the enemies then spend 10 minutes just figuring out how to get to the next part of the level. The skill focuses on killing the bad guys instead of finding really obscure switches, and if you like that kind of stuff, try finding the secret areas, they are really cleverly placed. If you think the game is too easy, try playing it on nightmare.
shareWell no matter what any of you says, does your precious Halo allow you to create your own wads and thus completely customize the experience? No? Didn't think so.
Doom may not be true 3d, but I'm always going to love it more than any FPS.
Master Chief is such a freaking idiot that I'd just play Doom instead, just because of that freakin' tard in a moron suit.
"Teh" is simple "teh" best typo ever.
I'm sorry... DOOM sodomizes Halo in every aspect, gameplay and otherwise. the only edge Halo has is it's graphics. I really don't even like those that much. not to mention Doomguy could kick the *beep* outta Cheif any day. Look, I don't care if Cheif was designed as a super-soldier and that Doomguy is just a marine, Doomguy has a chainsaw. He wins. And as far as gameplay goes, the overtly gory effects of DOOM make Halo's graphic engine look like PITFALL.
DOOM is the king of FPS and Doomguy rules the FPS world... that is until Ash (from AOD) gets an FPS.
I'll swallow your soul!
Liberals suck...
You're an idiot, Master Cheif would PWWWWWWWWNNNNNNN that guy from Doom.
shareMaster Cheif is an idiot how? He's not an idiot, you on the other hand....
