Well I really can't comment on the first three COD's since I haven't played the multiplayer but anything from Modern Warfare and up doesn't take as much skill as Halo.

Still, there's a hardcore mode in Cod that takes much more skill than the normal modes (no radar, no grenade indicators, one shot=kill and more). 

And if we're taking CoD games for PC into the equation it's pretty obvious to me that CoD is harder than Halo :P.

All this doesn't really matter though, just play what you like to play. 

While I agree that Hardcore mode in COD takes more skill than the other playlists it still doesn't even come remotley close to Halo.  Not by a mile.

you said it yourself COD is a 1 shot kill game, that is the polar opposite of skill. 

I've noticed that in CoD vids (I've never played CoD multiplayer) that everything looks like a one shot kill. Also, the killstreaks or whatever they're called are a textbook definition of being unbalanced. I mean, I know they're fun and all but if I'm the person getting killed all the time, I'd be getting annoyed. That being said, I'm probably getting Black Ops because the campaign looks fun, but I have no interest in the wager match playlist because everyone in that is going to be so ridiculously good it isn't even funny. I expect the multiplayer to be about as balanced as Gears multiplayer is, which is to say, not at all.
