I prefer Halo 3 online because it seems better suited and balanced for competitive multiplayer. Having all players start with equal equipment and abilities makes player skill separate the good from the bad. The community and online features from Bungie also push it above the rest. New playlists every weekend, forge, theater, online stat tracking/community, all work to keep the game fresh and interesting.
I just feel that having experienced players start with superior equipment/skills/abilities is fundamentally wrong in a online multiplayer game. The only game it somewhat worked IMO is the battlefield series on PC. Those games were mainly equipment differences but never grossly overpowered. The "kits" could also be could be retrieved by "low level players" from the dead.
I personally can't wait until the next modern warfare Battlefield game comes out for PC. It will be much better than COD4 IMO. They just seemed more epic in scale and tactical then anything COD4 has. The addition of vehicles is also a big plus in my book.
This is all about online though. If it was down to the single player campaign then then I much prefer COD4 over Halo3 even if both were rather short.
