I'll vote for Halo every time over COD4. Halo has plasma grenades :)
I like COD4 but here's my problems with it:
1. There's no meaningful ranking system, which means more unbalanced skill level matches. Sometimes I wanna play people my own ability.
2. Too much emphasis on who has the right setup for the game versus who can put themselves into a winning position. For example, last week I picked a shotgun setup, only to find my whole team did as well. By the time some people switched, we were way behind and getting airstriked to death, which leads to number 3 -
3. If I am dominating, I get airstrikes and helicopters to further my domination. Leads to unbalance. Matches can get out of hand quickly.
4. While the levelling system is addictive, it's pretty pointless in the long run.
Plus in favor of Halo 3, I love custom games/forge and I also like using the theater and taking screenshots. Also the level os stat detail available online at bungie.net is mindblowing. I like the matchmaking system better, and love the weekend playlists that change every week. There's always something new to do.
Both good games, but I'll take Halo.
Can't we all just get along and play our games in peace?
