Halo 2 is the worst game in the series.

I never have nor ever will get the appeal of playing FPS games on the PC. I find hitting the ctrl button to shoot or pointing with the mouse to be really lame. As for Halo 3...it is as good as they say.

Ctrl button to shoot man what game were you playing Doom1???

It's by no means a bad game at all, it's just a Halo game. If you like Halo 1 and 2, you'll like Halo 3. If you don't like Halo 1 and 2, you won't like Halo 3.

It really stands at your own standpoint of gameplay. Also I don't like how you compare CoD in anyway to Ranbow or counterstrike. If anything the first original CoD was more like WW2 with the quake engine that had that feel it was quake but in WW2 and no insane weapons and such. Which pretty much they stuck with that feel throughout the games that Infinity Ward has made. To be honest vehicles were added CoD United offensive for PC and that was a mistake. CoD was always about the soldier aspect. They learned that and never brought it back for a good reason. You say Carnage is not in COD??? Try 32 players with air strikes, helicopters etc. Stick grenades pfft how about you being able to pull pin hold grenade and throw it into someones face so that they can't avoid? Or how about throwing C4 and blowing up it instantly in someones face. Any game will have carnage and also learn to the spell Carnage by chance. Power ups? Its called perks and you can customize that to your own play style. Do some research next time before you compare.

Coming from a guy who has played all CoD games.  Halo 3 is still better than CoD4.  I won't say its better than the first CoD(vCoD) only because that was my first online shooter I ever got into.  I will disagree with you on adding vehicles for United Offensive.  That was actually really fun on bigger levels and in general.  I use to get banned from servers all the time by running over my teammates.  Now that is carnage.  The only thing I will give CoD4 over Halo3 is being able to lean.  And thats only in the PC version of the game. 

So when we are talking console fps Halo really is as good as it gets.  You can't select servers, it matches the game up for you.  Big Team Battle, ranked and unranked is the only way to get 16 player games.  There is usually a lot of people playing that.

Lol yea vehicles were fun on larger maps but I wasn't totally into unless driving jeeps around and jumping out before running over a teammate to kill them but without getting the TK :D that was always fun. Yeah I don't like how for console CoD you can't lean. Well atleast in CoD 1 & 2 for PC lean was such a critical use for me and still use for CoD4.

 

But quarashi did you ever in CoD UO block a spot to a respawn point. Bust out a satchel drop it after 5-10 teammates spawn and then switch to spectator mode so it would kill them all on a no friendly fire server :D good days got banned so much.

Hey tallgnome guess what my xbox can do that your pc can't? It's called 4 player split screen. Whenever my friends come over they can just hop right on with me and we can all play Halo 3 online together on the same console. Have fun dragging your bulky pc's over to your friends houses for lans :P

The whole COD4 vs Halo3 fiasco doesn't matter much to the OP since no matter what system he decides on(PS360) he can still get COD4.

 Oh, I'll last a while.  And keep your suggestions to yourself please.  I happen to find that statement flat-out halarious.  I actually laughed out loud.

twesterm put it best.  If you liked Halo 1 and 2, you'll probably like 3.  If you didn't like Halo 1 and 2, you probably wont like 3.

@cheat1011
Eh.  Debateable.  I thought Halo 1 was horrible, but I didn't play it til after Halo 2, and a downgrade is never good.  But, then again, we can thank MS for how this series turned out.  Halo 1 should have been a lot more like Halo 2, and Halo 2 should have been a lot more like Halo 3.  Had that been the case, Halo 3 probably would have had a lot more innovative perks and differences from Halo 2, and I probably would have liked it a lot better.  For me, it just didn't bring enough new content.  They did improve on a few things, and add a few little things, but all in all it just wasn't that much different from 2 for me.  Seems many disagree with me, but whatever..out of 6 '360 Fanboy' friends of mine, only 1 still has the game.  And all 6 of those friends played Halo 2 like crazy.  I don't know - you figure it out.
