Having played both, one could say they are in different tiers.
Halo 3 -> Half-Life 2 -> Call of Duty (Infinity Ward) -> Gears of War (Series) are tier 1 (Excellent) shooters.
RFOM -> Call of Duty (Treyarch) etc are tier 2 (Above Average) shooters
Halo 3 is simply a far better game if one goes by play time alone, which cuts through hype and marketing because you can't force people to spend time on the game and it holds up against other tier 1 type games on the same console.
Tease.
