Which of the Xbox One's flagship titles is the better game in your opinion?

Having played neither, Gears 4. Gears of War in general surpassed Halo for me back on the seventh generation, and I'm fairly sure Gears of War 4 carries on the tradition.

3rd person shooter vs First Person Arena shooter...

Oh, Gears 4 by a parsec.

I adore Gears 4. The campaign is robust, and packed with interesting mechanics, enemies, weather effects, and set pieces. Multiplayer is a joy, thanks to some cool modes like co-op versus. Horde mode is the deepest yet, although diminished somewhat by microtransactions (which, unfortunately, infected Halo 5 too). Plus, many of the modes are available offline with splitscreen and bots.

Halo 5, conversely, is a disappointment. Multiplayer is vastly improved over Halo 4, but it's not enough to overcome what's easily the worst campaign in the series.

Agreed with all of this and I'm a much bigger Halo fan than Gears fan.

Feel like playing some more Horde...Only really played it on G4 and I loved it

Add me on Xbox! I'm always up for some Horde or co-op versus :)

Halo 5

I haven't played the multiplayer but if we go by singleplayer then its Gears 4 by a mile. I don't like JD at all but I enjoyed the campaign far more even if it did use horde mode a tad too many times. I was impressed by some of the different levels in Gears 4 but didn't find none of the Halo 5 maps really left an impression. The weather affects helped out the Gears 4 stages as well. I also enjoyed the nostalgia from returning characters in Gears 4 and didn't feel like the ending was cheap, even if I wish more had actually transpired during the story.  Spartan Locke was a very bland lead and I found myself rather uninterested in what he did. I know I said I didn't like JD but at least he had entertaining interactions with the other characters. These games are actually rather similar when you put them up against each other.  And Gears 4 actually has split screen multiplayer.

Both are sadly mediocre. I'd say Gears 4 though as I had more fun with its single player, even though characters and writing was pretty terrible. Not much of an MP guy.
