I realize this is a Xbox centric forum, but there is no world where it is Halo over Doom.

Thank you.

Really? I donā€™t think Doom is anywhere near as big as Halo.

Doom is literally the grandaddy of FPS games AND are better games. DOOM > All things. The combat/feedback loop of the OG doom games is still better than pretty much anything that came after.

and

Doomguy would tear chief apart.

I donā€™t think a Doom game launching today generates anywhere near the same buzz and interest than a Halo one would.

Kind of crazy how itā€™s only the round of 16 and almost every name still standing is a heavy hitter

Multiplayer makes a difference

Im not a multiplayer guy, which is why it isnā€™t really a factor for me.

I suppose if you ignore that Doom Eternal has both sold roughly in the neighborhood of 10 million copies (sold three million digital copies in the first month, and has somewhere north of three million owners just on steam) and has a higher avg review on both meta/opencritic than Halo Infinite (1 whole point!) you might have a case. Halo Infinite Campaign has a measly estimated 200k owners on steam according to Steam DB.

And before someone busts out that 20 million number for Halo, it is apples and oranges. You cant compare Free to Play numbers against a $60 product.

I will die on Doom mountain until this round concludes, and it loses anyway lol.

It should be noted: I love Halo, I just love Doom more.

I was in the minority for every game outside of Halo

Youā€™re right there. Halo Infinite sure did generate a lot of buzz - most of it very bad, but you do have a point.

When Doom was announced and launched it didnā€™t get anywhere near as much buzz but was very much loved and sometimes thatā€™s more important than buzz. :man_shrugging:

Iā€™m more into singleplayer and I still vote for Halo! It wonā€™t stand a chance for me in the next round thoughā€¦

Before Infinite I would vote DOOM but damn Infinite was so do man good and did more stuff that are my vibe, mainly the sandboxyness (purely SP perspective on both).

Iā€™m just a Doom Stan because I grew up playing doom and doom 2 during the 90ā€™s PC heyday. Halo came out when I was in college so while I love it, Doom is just ā€œspecialā€ to me.
