F.E.A.R. 3 vs Halo 2
F.E.A.R. 3
F.E.A.R. 3 definitely upped the notch by providing players with two incredible characters to play as - either Point Man, a genetically-enhanced soldier with superhuman reflexes and can manipulate time; or the undead spirit of his brother, Paxton Fettel, who wields amazing psychic powers. The AI in the game is as sneaky as ever, forcing you to have heightened combat awareness or you might just get attacked from behind. You can also pilot an enhanced mech in this game, which is always an awesome thing to do.However, many fans of the series feel that the story has been drawn out way past its lifespan and that the story in this installment is just underwhelming. There are also several major plotholes which just further messed up the story. Not to mention, the gunplay in this game seems to be a much-watered down version of its previous games.
So, if you're a hardcore fan of the story, you might still want to get this game while it's on offer just to enjoy some of the better parts of the plot. But if you're a newcomer, you might want to look to its first or second game instead.
Halo 2
Halo 2 follows on from the events of the first game, and takes you on a trip into the Covenant as well as following the story of the Master Chief. The Elite Commander of the last fleet to engage the humans at the Halo Ring is disgraced and on trial, but this leads to him becoming the Arbiter, a source of justice among the races. Meanwhile the Master Chief and Cortana fight for control of Earth after an attack by one of the Elders of the Covenant. This is merely the start of your adventure here and another chapter of the epic story unfolds before you as you set off across the cities of Earth and the Stars to stop what could be the end of everything you know.Once more you have a stunning first person shooter full of action, new skills and weapons to use and the ability to duel wield small arms for unparalleled firepower. With all the gameplay you love, and a new online version of the split screen multiplayer you can enjoy the campaign with friends and take part in ranked matches online. All in all a brilliant game with much critical acclaim this was and still is an epic sequel.
