Halo 3

You can't knock the consoles for value for money of hardware. People say PC games are cheaper, and they often are, but you'd need to buy a lot of games to start recouping some of the outlay you shelled out when you bought your £600+ box. And yes, you can use a PC for more than just games, but you don't need an uber machine to do that, a £299 laptop would suffice, and most of us probably have at least that in our homes anyway, so this is a purely "for games" debate.

FTR I'm a PC "gamer", although my system is now getting pretty old. I only play a few online racing simulators that would run on just about anything you can buy today that has a dedicated gfx card. I like consoles too because of how well everything works. No worries about whether your system will handle it.

You are quite right, my total PC cost £900 when I built it. But it is by far and away worth it for the wealth of RTS and FPS games that PC's do way better and they pretty much all cost £25 new now. Plus I do all my games, media, videos, photos, photoshopping on it too. Consoles certainly aren't crap, but if you are talking solely about the best graphics and realism, good PC's win hands down every time.

I love Halo3, finished on Normal and Heroic level but the online play is awesome. Knocks spots off Resistence Fall of Man for me. However, just started playing Call Of Duty 4 - even shorter than Halo 3 and not really played on-line but absolute stunning game. Should do an Org'rs team play

i completed it this morning, not really a cliff hanger at the end so i hope there is going to be a 4th one

also what happened at the end i didn't get it, did the master chief die? you only get to see the arbater in the end clip and not master chief.

plus some of the music bares similarities with the film Road To Perdition (great film), same producer perhaps?

I have got it, touched it last night and wasnt that impressed, addicted to call of duty 4 though on Live. On halo the first level bored me, jumping about a small green landscape, couldnt figure out what guns did what and who i was supposed to be shooting at. I guess futuristic games arnt for me, will give it another go at some point.

my son completed this yesterday. on easy level im assuming

I love COD4 but I don't understand the online gameplay. It usually consists of me running around being cannon fodder for everyone else camped out with sniper rifles, and if I ever find someone else, i can unload a whole magazine into them, only for them to turn round and kill me with their sidearm or bare hands.

Practice makes perfect, Even **** hot people die 5+ times a game, they just get 30+ kills, knowing the map perfect helps alot, know where your going to spawn next or knowing where the next headquarter will generate makes life 100x easier.

Also if you are using the wrong gun for the environment its impossible. An Ak47 will spray bullets everywhere in a small room but wont kill anyone, they will beable to walk right upto you and stab you in the neck before they are dead.

You need to get ranked 20+ before life starts getting easier and you start getting decent guns, attachments and perks.

My tag is GSP1984 if anyone fancies a game of COD4
