More Skill Gap , Much more Fun , More Competitive , LagLess , Badass Ranks , Commendations and Daily Challenges.

Black Ops is a GREAT Game but hasnt the awesome conections that Halo Reach has... Black Ops suffers from some LAG not much. Black Ops is much easier to play and the game is FULL of BS , its much better than Mw2 but Bungie once again delivers the best Multiplayer of the year.

Reach is the best online game on the 360. Period.


i agree



Being in 3rd place never felt so good

Well as a long time Halo fan, I still enjoy it very much and I think it's a great game. But for some reason I feel as though I'm shifting more towards COD these days. It's probably because it's easier for me to be decent at it TBH. I am enjoying BO even though they nerfed the M16. I used to drop dudes with no more than 2 bursts, now it usually takes me more. I still hit them with 2 bursts, think I'm done and already start moving on and then they get me, lol. One thing that I can BO does have in spades over any Halo game is the playercard customization. It is so cool with all of the layers and all the different things you can do with them. I've already spent waaaayyy too much time messing around with that. 


Having that much customisation in the name plates is pointless and idiotic. Seen way too many cocks and black people hanging from trees to last me a life time.

Halo is funner for skrewing around COD us funner for testing your skill and developing new strategies. Halo equals party game, COD equals I'm gonna kick your ass type of game.

I preffer Black Ops, but then I never did like the Halo multiplayer, ever since Halo 2 on the original Xbox, I only liked it on PC because the mods made it extremely fun, used to play quite alot on the ~FUN server, fun time(no pun intended). But I like COD gameplay, although I think if there was a party sort of thing I'd much rather play Halo due to the 4 player online split screen, but if it's just you and your mate hanging out, then you can't go wrong with some Black Ops online splitscreen.

Each have their preferences, I don't really appreciate the way you are shoving yours across as a fact, even if I am probably one of the biggest fans of Halo story.



Disconnect and self destruct, one bullet a time.

I too feel that Reach is better than CoD.  My opinion is that in CoD you need to simply shoot your opponent anywhere and you've essentially got a kill.  You have countless spawn deaths, random grenade deaths, and endless knife-in-the-foot deaths.  I dig Halo alot more because it takes multiple headshots on foes, you get fun moments like sneaking around a corner and hiding waiting for the action to come to you etc.  Granted some of this is based off my preference for 4v4 rather than bigger team battles.  Also, I hate objective based games. Not in a clan and teammates always go for kills - no the objective.  Anyways, just my thoughts.

i dont own a xbox, but ive played halo a few times and there was alot of BS also.

Well I own both and play both.  I personally enjoy Black Ops more than Reach.  However, just because I like one game more than the other doesn't mean that game is better.

Yeah. Reach is better than Black Ops.

No. Reach isn't the best FPS on the 360.

Haven't played Reach, but I doubt it's better.. If it's anything like Halo 3, then it's definitly not better. I don't like the floaty mechanics, and everyone just bashes and hucks grenades at eachother all the time. Black Ops has much more customization, and the perks/killstreaks are a lot of fun. And I hardly notice any lag on Black Ops.. Try Gears of War if you're looking for lag.
