I fail to see how anything can rival the juggernaut of COD4. I was a hater too until I played it when I was in calgary for three weeks hanging out at the hotel. I loved gears as well, but no comparison.

not on 360 i would say MKWii is awesome on the wii, and I love playing tetris against people on ds.

but seriously aside form starcraft, ive never played a game online as much as COD4

im gonna give special mention to splinter cell 4 online too, tons of fun if you liek stealth.

COD4 FTW!

 

I do own COD4, and while I do enjoy the multiplayer quite a bit, I still find myself always going back to Halo 3, which is wierd because I am better at COD4. 

A couple of things that annoy me in COD4 are the air strikes and helicopter for 5 and 7 kill streaks. I just don't see how any game that is trying to be balanced competetively can justify helping out the best players. I mean, if someone gets a 7 kill streak do they really need a chopper to fly in and auto-kill 7 more people for them? It just seems like overkill.

I also dislike that you have to earn your perks and weapons in COD4. From a competetive standpoint this is again going to discourage new players since they can only use shittier weapons and perks to try and compete with players that are already much better than them, but also are using better perks/weapons.

 

i hear ya on the helping the best players thing, but it truly can be a challenge to get those streaks, so the reward is worth it.  also i have terrible luck gettin kills on strikes, and you can shoot the chopper down fairly easily.  i hate halo 3s exp system, it should be based on what you do, cus a lot of matches are crapshoots at best as to who will win.

the perks tho i think its good the way it is, once youre prestiging it doesnt matter goin back, it kinda makes you have to be resourceful when youre missing things you use.

with the exp system as it is, even noobs if they play a bit, will get the things they need.  most of the really valuable perks are all before level 30, so not too hard to get.
