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.

 

 

 I have to disagree.  I came by CoD while attending ITT-Tech, and played 1 quite a bit.  And still do when I go by there.  I played very little of 2, none of 3.  The only reason I played it at all was because I didn't have to buy it=P  CoD4 though is much better than any of the Halos.  But hey, that's just my opinion.  Read my above post I guess..had Halo 3 brought more to the table, I might agree with you.

Halo 1 was the best Halo, easy.

Halo 3 is an awesome game, but if you get the 360 you'll be liking other games like bioshock and mass effect much more.



GOTY Contestants this year: Dead Space 2, Dark Souls, Tales of Graces f. Everything else can suck it.

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

Rofl I like how you say 4 player split screen online o wait I just use ventrilo and me and my friends can talk and play online together oh and a side note what is this free online gaming service :O and works with steam oh god. My laptop works for lans so its meh put in bag and go its kinda like bringing a xbox controller over but a little heavier.  Also owning a Wii always helps when all the friends come over :D

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???

 

 Hehe, exactly my thoughts. :d



Playing: InFamous, Super Robot Taisen OG Saga, Modern Warfare 2

 

Wait till it comes to PC if you want Halo 3.

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.

Hell yea I did that all the time.  If someone on my team was pissing me off like taking my spot or something, I would always spec nade them, telenade them whatever you want to call it.  I def got banned for that way more times than running them over.  Doing that in PUGs was also hilarious especially if we were playing with a clan we didn't like.  I guess I have always been a dick to people when I play fps' if they piss me off to much.

So you have a laptop good enough to play current gen games? So how much that cost $1000 or was it around $2000? Don't worry I'm fine with paying 5 dollars a month, I have alot of money left over from not having to continually upgrade every part of my computer just to keep up with the times ;)

Halo 3 has the best local multiplayer of any game on the HD systems, and that's why you should get it.

 

 Hahahaha.  Hahahahahaha. Haha.  HAHAHAHA!   Haaaaaaaaaahahahahahahahahahahaaaahahahaha!!

 

 You aren't going to last long here are you? Be mature.

 

 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.

You seem to have a habit of laughing in people's faces. So once again be mature.

multiplayer is amazing. Single player not as such
