I hated Halo 3's short campaign and online matches that devolved into nothing more than shotgun/melee-fests. I'd take Gears of War over any Halo game, even the original Halo.

I don't know where to begin in arguing how wrong this is...so I just wont bother. While new players may fall in to melee/shotgun traps...people who play it more than a week or 2 should greatly reduce their close combat deaths.

Depending on the map, on most maps I don't even bother picking up the shotgun anymore...

The only problem I may have with Halo 3 multiplayer are the sticky whores...

 

I admit that I exagerated but I still saw too great a reliance on the shotgun. I'm hardly the biggest fan of Gears but I just fail to see the appeal of Halo 3's online offerings over Gears or CoD4.

I'd say Halo is best in about every single way haha. Of course comparing them on single player and campaign isn't really saying much but Gears storyline is pathetic so it's hard to give it to Gears.

All those games are fine games, but stuff like this only happens in halo...



@disolitude

Now that's an epic kill. Now that I think about it, Halo shouldn't be directly compared to games like Gears and CoD4. Battlefield is much more comparable to Halo than most other FPS games out there.



Campaign= gears (average, but halo 3's sucks.)

Multiplayer= Halo 3, no contest



And that's the only thing I need is *this*. I don't need this or this. Just this PS4... And this gaming PC. - The PS4 and the Gaming PC and that's all I need... And this Xbox 360. - The PS4, the Gaming PC, and the Xbox 360, and that's all I need... And these PS3's. - The PS4, and these PS3's, and the Gaming PC, and the Xbox 360... And this Nintendo DS. - The PS4, this Xbox 360, and the Gaming PC, and the PS3's, and that's all *I* need. And that's *all* I need too. I don't need one other thing, not one... I need this. - The Gaming PC and PS4, and Xbox 360, and thePS3's . Well what are you looking at? What do you think I'm some kind of a jerk or something! - And this. That's all I need.

Halo 3



LOL @ that vid. Reminds me of when I was playing on The Pit and I blew up the barrels, like always, and then proceded to get owned by one of the cones. Good times..... Anyway back to OT

I'd have to give the nudge to Halo for me even with Halo 3s multiplayer being a little less hardcore than Halo 2's However with the forge and theater they really made up for it and it's still one of my favorite online games to date. Gears is just fun, pure awesome fun b/c its not ur standard shooter. After I play Gears 2 I may change my mind but I like both franchises a lot.

Gears. Halo kind of bores me. I still buy Halo though, so I won't feel left out and people don't laugh at me.

I also prefer 3rd person over 1st. 1st person games are more prone to vomit inducing.
