How in the hell can anyone know? There is only a Doom 3 alpha out that people can play and it is pretty short.

Stop dissing the noob :cuss:

Lol j/k

We can't know anything about this game. There has been nothing really for us to look at yet except for screens. Should be great though! :D

Doom will probably just be a average shoot em up with great graphics.

But..Far Cry looks awesome it might beat halo 2 in fun? lol it looks awesome ..and its coming to Xbox.:D

Hehe... stop cussing the noob huh ? We are not cussing him, just telling the true about Doom 3 and Halo 2. It's hard to estimate who will be the king on Xbox. :p

Maybe Halo 2 because ID is saying that Doom is going to be very scripted and to me thats not as fun while Bungie is saying the exact opposite

Haven't ever been able to get into Doom. Will definitely give this one a rent at least though. I'm sure I'll prefer Halo 2 unless they completely blow it.

After seeing the E3 demo, are you sure you can say this? Hehe, everyone would pay 50$ just to play that level!

I believe that Doom 3's graphics will be slightly more advanced than Halo 2's. Buuuuuut....... thats about it!

From my experience in Halo, and from what I've seen of the Halo 2 videos, Halo 2 will be heavily scripted as well.
For scares, Doom 3 will take the cake. For action, Halo will take the cake. For multiplayer... well, it depends on if you like being scared or straight out gun fights. I think Halo will win out in this though, provided they speed up the gameplay from Halo (Ack! I'm walking in cement!). Graphics wise, Doom 3 takes the cake.
That's my two cents!

Haha, I won't. I'd buy Doom3 with that $50 and get Halo2 with my other $50. Then I can answer the guy's question! :cheers: :D

I say halo two, because of multiplayer replayability.
Doom 3 and halo 2 wiil probably both have extremely memorable single player expiriences and both shouldnt be missed, but halo 2 will keep me on live for year to come. Doom 3 seems to be advanced in the graphics department, but halo 2 has some major background changes due to scripting.....i mean geez, entire buildings blow up! Doom 3 has less changes but the scripting will be more personal, say a monster popping out from a vent next to you (scary as hell).

but fighting mindless zombies, or brilliant battlefield tacticians (halo's elites), what would you rather do?

08-06-2003, 02:33 PM
But you never know cuz Halo which is soon to officialy become a series has a loyal following. MHO is that Doom3 will have everyone pants wet due to two elements, p.i.s.s.i.ing them:o or just cumming in them :p do to the beutiful graphics

But hold on could Unreal 2 be a huge sleeper on the BOX this fall?? :)

I Def think that U2 is and will be better than halo whith the addition to the whole Live capability, which it should considering the time it had to do so. As for whether it will be better then the two afomentioned games (H2, D3 ) only time will tell, yeh and the number of game sales!!!:cool:

Good Question dude! I Love Doom 3 and Halo 2, all I can say is we have to wait and see! But I am sure that Doom 3 and Halo 2 are GREAT and FUN FPS games. Hey don't forget Half-Life 2! That might go also be a game of the year you never know! These 3 FPS games are most my favorite FPS games I ever playde so far! Well I didn't play Doom 3 or Half-Life 2 but I am sure They will both great games! Halo 2 I can say is also a great FPS game. These 3 FPS shooters will sure fight to be the king!

Buuuuuut all the doom 3 screens are on computer, and as we all know, computers are much more powerful than the xbox, so the graphics will have to be scaled down to work for xbox. While halo 2 on the other hand is fully optomizing the xbox and squeezing every last drop out. So I think Half-Life 2 - Best Graphcis, Doom 3 for pc - close to HL 2, Halo 2 - Totally kick ass for a console close to doom 3 for pc, then last is doom 3 for xbox, I think the porting process will be the problem, it will still be kick-ass but just not so much.

08-09-2003, 12:37 PM
yeah but graphics aren't everything. I mean halo's graphics aren't what made it a great game. It was the gameplay! The storyline, the tactics, all of it made it just GREAT! Graphics are great but they don't make a game good IMO. I personally can't wait for all 3 considering they are prob the top 3 favorite game series of mine. And lets not forget Raven Shield. Another game series I love is rainbow six and this game looks great!

Halo 2 is what we call the console hit title. Doom 3 is very impressive with the graphics but one thing: how about the gameplay ? Maybe the graphics is just what Doom 3 have in quality but not gameplay. :huh:

half life 2>halo2 + doom3

based SOLELY on what we've seen so far, here's the comparison

Graphics: Doom 3
Runner Up: Half Life 2
they all look great...but i think Doom3 edges out HL2 just by a liitttle bit with its crazy lighting, and i think it's models have a higher poly count. HL2 looks gorgeous, though, so it gets runner up...its REALLLY close though, and after looking at that G-Man screenshot below, i almost wanna change my mind...but doom3 wins just by a TINNY bit..and for an Xbox game, Halo is stunning, but is beaten down by the PC heavyweights.

http://image.com.com/gamespot/images/2002/vgnews/092602/halo2x02/halo2_screen005.jpg



Sound Halo 2
Runner Up: Half Life 2
Marty O'donnel is the man...the score and sound FX blew me away in the E3 demo...the HL2 and Doom3 music just seemed to add some nice ambient background noise.

Gameplay: Half Life 2
Runner Up: Halo 2
Doom 3 is just a pretty run and gun. Halo 2 should have some nice squad battles, vehicle battles, and one-man-army missions...but Half Life 2 has the zombie-killing of Doom 3 (headcrabs), the vehicles and squads of Halo2 (check out the buggy vs. alien gunship movie, and the barney streetfight movie, both part of the e3 demo),and adds in so much more, with great AI, physics based puzzles, and an immersive story presented all in the beautiful in game engine. hands down, half life wins.

Lasting Appeal: Half Life 2
Runner Up: Halo 2

Live support and Co op are great, but Half life 2 wins. HL2 will get its own MP mode (which is being kept under wraps), a Co-op mod being assisted by Valve themselves, and a TON of other user-made single- and mutli-player mods. We'll be playing games using the Source engine until way after Xbox1 is forgotten.

Winner: Half Life 2
Runner Up: Halo 2
best physics ever, best AI ever, and arguably best graphics ever. pick up your crowbars this september, its gonna be great.

Mmm, I agree with everything BUT your gameplay factor. I find it incredibly hard to believe that HL2 will beat out Halo2, gameplay-wise. Comparing the two, I'm about 10000% sure that I'll have more fun playing Halo2 than HL2 because, well, I still play Halo and I haven't touched HL in a long ass time.

If we're still playing Halo via XBC or at our LAN parties (another one this saturday btw), I'm certain Halo2 will keep me glued to my Xbox far longer than HL2 or Doom3 combined.

Same goes for "lasting appeal", Halo2 being XBL enabled is just going to keep me on it longer than HL2 (even if HL2 does have XBL compatibilities).

well if you're comparing the XBOX versions of the games, you're probably right...but compare the PC HL2 to the Halo2 on xbox and half life wins in every department. Mods of the 5 year old half life are more popular than Xbox's best-selling game.
not even counting mods, im guessing that HL2 mp will be some sort of objective based thing with aliens vs humans or something, maybe with some vehicles...or playable striders?!?!:D{see below)

oh yea... after playing the doom 3 alpha and having been involved in the first person shooters since curse of the catacombs (before wolf 3d) i believe that doom 3 will top all single player ever... (the only reason doom was super good is because it was revolutionary) doom 3 will do good for revolution in graphics but single player is the main focus...multi is prolly going to be classic doom style limited to four player even online... but the fact is in having played the alpha...doom 3 will be completely dumbed down on the xbox... believe me...get it for pc and do yourself a favor...after all it is being developed for a pc...the xbox port will have smaller maps, less graphical bells and whistles, and worst of all ****ty resolution no matter if you have one of those fancy hdtv setups or not... any first person shooter will be better on a pc...for the simple fact that they are made for pc and ported or dumbed down for consoles...halo could be so much more if it was on pc... but as it stands on the xbox it is ****... consoles need to stay with console games and stop trying to be something they aren't... anyway... doom 3 beats halo 2 easy... it will be the king of first person shooters... if you have a pc that can run the unoptimized 3 map (4 if you hack it) alpha... you will know what im talking about...

Ok, it doesn't look quite as good as I remember. It still looks quite good and I think is comparable to the HalfLife 2 picture though.

-edit-
Koopa, those ingame shots of action look alot like Raven Shield to me. I am not saying Half life 2 doesn't look good, just that it isn't even comparable to Halo 2 or Doom 3 in that department.

you say all this stuff about how doom3 will be the king of all shooters, how it decimates the competition, how consoles suck....but haven't provided a shred of evidence to support your misguided claims.

I think Doom III will look better, but the gameplay will be different beyond comparison. H2 will be futuristc battlefield combat. D3 will be a survival horror shooter.

nice double post:D

well lemme analyze ur original post and maybe i can explain what i mean


oh yea... after playing the doom 3 alpha and having been involved in the first person shooters since curse of the catacombs (before wolf 3d) i believe that doom 3 will top all single player ever... (the only reason doom was super good is because it was revolutionary) doom 3 will do good for revolution in graphics but single player is the main focus...
evidence? examples? proof? i havent been able to get my hands on the doom alpha, but based on info released by id as compared to what was released by valve, i'd say Half Life's SP will be far greater...its more of a thinking man's FPS, while doom is more of a horror game. doom lacks the physics, AI, story and animation that Half Life excels at.

multi is prolly going to be classic doom style limited to four player even online... but the fact is in having played the alpha...doom 3 will be completely dumbed down on the xbox
evidence? I'm sure you're right to some extent, but I think a geforce 3 machine could handle Doom3 decently...and xbox's geforce is a modified gf3.

... believe me...get it for pc and do yourself a favor...after all it is being developed for a pc...the xbox port will have smaller maps, less graphical bells and whistles, and worst of all ****ty resolution no matter if you have one of those fancy hdtv setups or not... any first person shooter will be better on a pc...for the simple fact that they are made for pc and ported or dumbed down for consoles...
Well if you're using unreal championship as an example, then yes, its true...but not all devs are as lazy as DE. I'm sure with some dilligence, they could make a fairly accurate port thats not TOOOO dumbed down. and half life could be ported easily to xbox, seeing as the minium specs are so (relatively) low.

halo could be so much more if it was on pc... but as it stands on the xbox it is ****... consoles need to stay with console games and stop trying to be something they aren't...
the only reason Halo was limited was that it was rushed, not that it was on xbox. it could've been everything it claimed to be if it had a few more months to add it all in. on a side note...i dont get all the *****ing and moaning about how controllers suck for fpss. jesus, just calm down and try to adjust instead of complaining. they work fine. granted nto as accurate as a mouse, but still good enough.

anyway... doom 3 beats halo 2 easy... it will be the king of first person shooters... if you have a pc that can run the unoptimized 3 map (4 if you hack it) alpha... you will know what im talking about...
see above comic. doom3 will not be the king of FPS's. i heard someone say that its the best of last gen's games, while Half life is the first of next gen's games. Doom3 revolutionizes nothing, just perfects on what was already there.

Doom lacks the STORY?!?!?! WHO THE **** SAID THAT? Do you know the story of Doom III? Well let me enlighten you...

A long time ago in a galaxy far far away...this didnt happen

Mars is now colonized for research. You are part of the sercurity force on the main compound-a group of trained Marines. You don't know the full extent of the scientists going-ons, but you know that it has something to do with the planet itself. One day, you notice while on patrol that the place is empty...a little too empty. That's when the terror begins. It seems, following in the footsteps of many careless scientists beofre, one man has opened a portal between your compound and hell. A deadly virus swept through the complex, turning 90% of the humans into zombified creatures. With the human threat out of the way, hell sends an army to clean up the rest, and find a way to earth. That means they'll all be going through you.

I only know a few of the levels, but they eventually lead into hell itself (oh GREAT...like the game wasn't scary enough without sending me to hell...), where you hunt down the scientist that may not have ACCIDENTALLY released hell onto you. Yea, you're right, that story sucks...

Actually, Half-Life 2 was originally developed for PC too.

As was Deus Ex: Invisible War, and Call of Duty.

well since you haven't played he alpha (which is very far from done) you wouldn't know now would you?

if the alpha is very far from done, dont you think that they might change some things? so maybe the version you played will be very very different from the final version...so you shouldn't be judging the game either...or telling him not to judge it.

and fps's dont suck on consoles. look at halo. that game was perfect (control-wise). i could control that game as if i was using a mouse and keyboard...because they did such a good job on the controls.

and about doom 3's graphics on the xbox and stuff. even john carmack (the guy in charge of the game), he said that it could be ported over with NO changes in graphics or gameplay...

spectre187
08-12-2003, 02:12 PM

well since you haven't played he alpha (which is very far from done) you wouldn't know now would you?
I can make an educated guess based on the info that's been released. The hype and info surrounding doom3 are about its graphics and how scary it is. the hype and info surrounding half life 2 are its story, physics, AI, and facial animation

Doom lacks the STORY?!?!?! WHO THE **** SAID THAT? Do you know the story of Doom III? Well let me enlighten you...


A long time ago in a galaxy far far away...this didnt happen

Mars is now colonized for research. You are part of the sercurity force on the main compound-a group of trained Marines. You don't know the full extent of the scientists going-ons, but you know that it has something to do with the planet itself. One day, you notice while on patrol that the place is empty...a little too empty. That's when the terror begins. It seems, following in the footsteps of many careless scientists beofre, one man has opened a portal between your compound and hell. A deadly virus swept through the complex, turning 90% of the humans into zombified creatures. With the human threat out of the way, hell sends an army to clean up the rest, and find a way to earth. That means they'll all be going through you.

I only know a few of the levels, but they eventually lead into hell itself (oh GREAT...like the game wasn't scary enough without sending me to hell...), where you hunt down the scientist that may not have ACCIDENTALLY released hell onto you. Yea, you're right, that story sucks...

moron

so lemme get this straight. someone unleashes demons from hell, zombies, and a virus...AGAIN...and..lemme guess..its up to you to blow up all the bad guys and save the day? wasn't that the basic story of doom 1 and 2? zombies/demons from heck invade, now KILL THEM! we practically know all the important story elements already...what do we know about hl2? well something about a european style city called city 17 being eaten by some sort of city...eating..thing...controlled by the combine (which, by the way, may or may not be your allies, and may or may not be human). then you've got former black mesa security guard barney calhoun fighting combine for some reason, you've got some crazy aliens killing everything in sight, and you've got the G-man manipulating something behind the scenes. there's so much more potential there, IMO, than in the demons/zombies from heck invade in space!

i know realize this is oversimplifying the story, and i realize that any game's story could be simplified..half life 1: ALIENS INVADE! ESCAPE! but the reason that half life 1's story was superior to most of the games of its time, and the reason hl2's will be superior to most games of its time, are:

a)the plot twists
b)the way its told through in-game, scripted sequences instead of cutscenes

btw, no need for name calling. Calling me a moron isn't helping your argument, just hurting it. It makes you sound like you rand out of counterpoints and have to resort to calling me stupid.

my AIM screen name is supakoopa101. my net seems to being going really slow now for some reason, but IM me, *NOT* get the doom 3 alpha. I've got a p4 2.66, radeon 9700 so i think it'll run well on my pc.

Doom 3 Coming to Xbox

id Software CEO John Carmack announced the development of Doom 3 for PC and Xbox platforms. The announcement was made during the annual Quakecon, where Carmack also announced the development of Quake IV using the new Doom engine, which may also be coming to Xbox sometime down the road. According to the announcement, Doom engine will boast extremely high polygon models and realistic lighting. While commenting on the Xbox port of Doom 3, Carmack stated that PS2 would not be able to handle Doom 3 graphics without "sacrifices", while Xbox port will look just as good as the PC counterpart.


yeah, the resolution will be lower because it's on a TV. but that doesnt mean the xbox can't have resolutions as high as the pc...

This is like when everyone was debating between HALO and BRUTE FORCE. It just doesn't make any sense...

Personally I like HALO the most of these three, but I'm for sure going to own them all. I'm just freakin' happy that we get all of these on a game console!!

Koopa is almost bearable in arguments over the internet becuase he doesn't come out of the gate calling poeple morons and stuff. spectre on the other hand, is completely unbearable. It seems his intelligence level is that of a 6 year old child, calling everyone poopy heads and other childish names. If you want to debate, then debate. However, debates do not include personal attacks. If there is a personal attack in a debate, it means that the attacker see's himself losing the debate and is resorting to anything he can to try and win. Name calling never wins.

Snoopy was right, Carmack did say that Doom 3 can be ported directly to the Xbox without any graphical changes. He said that the minimum specs for the PC version are a GeForce 3 Ti xxx, guess what the Xbox has? A modified GeForce 3... He also said that Doom 3 will be able to run on the Xbox at 30 frames per second. Now before you go talking about RAM and CPU's and whatnot, there is one thing you have to take into consideration. Operating systems and background programs in computers use the CPU and RAM while you are running games, thusly more powerful CPU's and faster ram is needed when it comes to advanced games. However, consoles don't have to worry about the trivial things of a PC. They can run on slower CPU's and less RAM due to the lack of any OS or background programs running while a game is running. So while the Xbox's 700mhz CPU and 64mb of RAM (Might be more, don't quite remember exactly) doesn't seem like much in comparison with a PC, it is actually quite capable in a console. Alot less goes alot farther in a console whereas the same cannot be said for a PC.

Here in this article Carmack talks a little about video cards and which will be best for the upcoming Doom.
Gamespy article (http://www.gamespy.com/e32002/pc/carmack/index2.shtml)

On a slow CPU with all features enabled, the GF3 will be faster than the GF4-MX, because it offloads some work. On systems with CPU power to burn, the GF4 may still be faster.
Although we all know the MX series is absolute crap.

Here (http://www.doomworld.com/doom3/info/doom3faq.php#What%20sort%20of%20system%20will%20be%20required%20to%20play%20Doom%203?) is an un-official Doom 3 FAQ from Doomworld. They answered the questions from past interviews with Carmack and the Doom 3 team.
Here (http://www.planetdoom.com/doom3/faq/#Xbox) is the Doom 3 FAQ at Planetdoom.com.

Although I could not find a definite link with John Carmack saying that Doom 3 will run at 30fps on an Xbox with all the graphical perks of a PC, I do feel the links I provided show some proof that Doom 3 is coming to the Xbox and it should run just fine with all the graphics of the PC version. If it includes HDTV support, it will even run at higher resolutions than the PC version.

i know computers too. but computers and consoles are two totally different things...like merimac said. consoles dont have to worry about running an OS, they can use all of their power for a game, but a computer cannot. so it is totally possible for doom 3 to have the same graphics on the pc and the xbox.

Although I'm technically a "newb" with pc hardware, having only programmed in assembly level for a little over a year, and only having built about 3 computers from the ground up; I think I know enough to pass judgement on how doom 3 will be on xbox compared to pc.
Obviously it won't run as good as a high end pc. On the other hand, if you take a pc equivalent to the specs of an Xbox, the Xbox will manhandle the equivalent pc running the game. Why's that? Optimisations my friend. The Xbox has a flat slate of hardware and every Xbox can be relied upon to use this. Also there is no meddling OS to get in the way of valuable CPU cycles, so the Xbox will naturally run better.

But technically speaking or not, the Xbox multiplayer will be better than the PC multiplayer for one reason: Live. Voice chat is the way of the future, and since not every pc gamer has a headset, even if Doom 3 supported Voice over IP on PC, it wouldn't have the community feel of the Xbox version.

ps
Realisation really should be a word. "Optimisation" is listed on m-w.com as a British variant of "optimization". Canadians use the British spelling over the American spelling partially because we are still affiliated with England. Typically speaking, if there is a "z" in a word, it can be replaced with an "s" and be accepted. I've been spelling "realize" with an "s" for years, and not one of my college professors has said a word about it being wrong.

[edit]spectre, this is for you. Any mass-market videocard doesn't support resolutions higher than 1600x1200. To get higher you need to go to the $200+ CND videocards. And while many users will buy these, they are not the mass market cards, and thus I am excluding them.
Since Id are very tech oriented, we have every reason to assume they will be supported the Xbox's advanced features, even moreso since the game will be exclusive to Xbox and PC. Now, That means HDTV will be supported, and as LynxFX will tell you, HDTV resolutions are higher than 480p. I'm talking 1920 x some other ungodly number. The only videocard I've yet seen pull a resolution that high is my brother's Radeon 9500 Pro. So in comparison to the mass market of PC gaming, Doom 3 will actually be able to pull higher resolutions on the Xbox than the PC version.

And indeed, most xbox owners don't have an HDTV. But also, most PC owners don't have a videocard with pixel shader support, and probably don't have support for resolutions higher than 1280x960

In my house I run it on two, and just because you can't doesn't mean everything has to be dumbed down to the lowest common denominator, kind of like the way EA likes to do things with their console games.

But back on topic I really doubt Doom III will support any HD resolution. 1080i as Radrider started to say is 1920x1080. 720p is 1280x720. Unfortunately the Xbox just doesn't have enough power to push graphic intense games out at that level as we have seen...or not seen on our current games. So it will probably just be 480p or 640x480 or 720x480 if they go widescreen for us Xbox gamers which could still look very good. I would crap my pants if it came out any higher than that. It would definately make my decision to get the Xbox version much easier. :)

I will really be torn on which version I end up getting. I'm leaning towards the Xbox just for the sound, and if they can give us the same details and effects as the pc version then I'll go for it. Multiplayer really isn't much of a factor as Doom III is still geared more towards the solo gameplay. The multiplayer is only going to support 4 people anyway, last I heard. Might have changed their plan but the reasoning was frame rates and model detail.

MerimacHamwich
08-12-2003, 07:35 PM
The possibility of HD support (including widescreen) and the inclusion of Dolby Digital 5.1 at the least is definetly swaying me towards the Xbox version.

spectre187
08-12-2003, 08:05 PM
"and probably don't have support for resolutions higher than 1280x960"

1600 X 1200 is standard for gaming pcs now a days...

and the sound? again if you get a good soundcard and set your pc up with 5.1 surround it'll be a lot better than an xbox for the simple fact that your playing it on a pc... which doom is being developed for the pc first and foremost...

MerimacHamwich
08-12-2003, 08:15 PM
Man, your opinions are so biased and un-called for, spectre, that it is almost humorous.

1600x1200 is standard for PC gamers now...

Dolby Digital 5.1 is better on the PC simply becuase it is on the PC...

You are so right! I mean, every PC Gamer out there has a top of the line system and when anything is on PC it is automatically better! How could we be so blind!?

Conchord
08-12-2003, 08:15 PM
has everyone gone insane? it only takes common >3rd grade language< sense to figure out that a gaming PC is graphically superior to a console. I love my xbox, but lets be real-have you ever played SoF 2 for PC? Now look at the xbox version. Same for Ghost Recon. And they say that RS3 will be completely redone, but I'm still skeptical.

But like i said before, I LOVE the xbox, so I'm not bashing anything. I'm just saying, use your heads.

RadRider
08-12-2003, 08:21 PM
You missed my point. 17" LCD monitors typically don't go over 1280x1024 in resolution. If you get a CRT it will go much higher, but most people are going for LCD's because in spite of their worse image quality and lower resolutions, they take up less space.

And 5.1 isn't better on the PC. Provided you get good speakers and everything for your pc, a home theater audio system will blow away any pc audio system. PC audio systems are developed for close-quarters sound, typically the range of a few feet. Home theater audio is developed more for large rooms, thus they produce better sound.

Thanks Lynx. Way to kill the buzz.:P Although the Xbox probaby won't support HDTV with Doom 3, the potential is still there. The Xbox can potentially display higher resolutions than PC's. But like I said before, a high end pc will play Doom 3 better than the Xbox. That is a fact, and nobody is arguing over that.

I don't see a reason to close this topic, the arguments seem to have cooled down so now we can just focus on hard facts.

I have a very low end PC and I am too ashamed of the specs to post them here (if you must know, my dad spoiled himself with up-to-date hardware, and left me with yesterday's scraps). So I'll most definitely get DOOM3 and Half-Life 2 on Xbox. I don't have an HDTV or Dolby Digital 5.1, so I'll be enjoying this game on my nice, comfy couch regardless of any comparison between the PC/Xbox versions.

Koopa, just come out and say it, you have it. Its not a big deal and isn't considered piracy, at least in my opinion, becuase there was no official retail release of it.

With my PC:
Intel Celeron 1.3ghz
384mb pc100 SD RAM
ATI Radeon 9500 Pro 128mb

I get on average 10 frames per second in the Doom 3 Alpha. Which is about the same as my brother gets with his:
AMD Athlon XP 1700+
512MB PC2100 DDR Ram
ATI Radeon 8500 le 128mb

:cheers:

I had the doom 3 alpha. I got about 30 FPS but when i fired my guns it would drop to like 10 FPS.

Pent 4: 2.4 GHZ
Geforce 4 Ti 4400
256 DDR ram

And yes, Raven shield is being redone for the XBox using the splinter cell engine. It will look great :cheers:

Actually Raven Shield isn't coming to the Xbox. We are getting Rainbow Six 3, which is a different game, different story, different control scheme. And yes it does look great. :D

Whatever, same s4it.

Rainbow Six 3 is raven shield on the PC.

Rainbow six 3 on the xbox is called "rainbow six 3"

Im sure they will share many of the same elements, just like UT2003 and UC.
