Aside from Call of Duty 2 (Xbox 360), every Halo game has been better for me. The gameplay, stories, and characters are all superior. I like the multiplayer better as well.
@dakan45: and I respectfully disagree. I don't care about the graphics, but the art direction in Halo is amazing IMO. Call of Duty just uses regular environments here on Earth. While not a bad thing, I prefer sci-fi settings over realistic ones in most situations.
@mastermetal777: i didnt say anything about the art style, but seriously in 2004? there were fps with better art style, but destiny art style is amazing.
I also prefer sci fi setting but, remember that arbitar mission in halo 2 that you just run away from the flood and found a piston pylon and press on it and jump inside the opening.....then did that 5 more times?
Halo , i have only played ODST and 3 but they were by far much more enjoyable than the latest CoD (ghosts...). Really , i still remember playing for hours halo without getting bored. In ghosts i just play 10 mins and i'm already bored as hell.
the early cod games (1, 2 and uo) were ridiculously good. then cod 3 happened. let's pretend it didn't and go to modern warfare which was also ridiculously good. from that point on it was a slippery slope downwards. although i much prefer the infinity ward games to the treyarch ones.
with halo the quality of the first 3 was similarly superb (the 2nd being the slightly weaker if i had to choose). then halo odst happened. let's pretend it didn't (i think of it as the cod 3 equivalent of the series). reach was a brilliant return to form before microsoft got involved and stunk the place out with halo 4.
so, all in all, each series has 4 truly brilliant games but because there are more bad call of duty games than halo games i'll go with halo

Dude Halo 4 had an amazing story, with great graphics, excellent voice acting and great gameplay, side from the multiplayer....what was there not to love?
Ideally I'd vote neither, but since I only have one or the other I'd definitely pick Halo...CoD is just boring shit to me these days and there's no way around that.
Cod 1 2 and united offensive were simply amazing. Since then the developers have picked the bone dry by over milking it. Cod black ops and ghost is a perfect example of the same dry, boring and repetitive concept with nothing new to offer.
I have played only the first Halo but simply loved the sound and game play of it.

i guess i was just expecting something more of a step forward from reach and 3. it felt like it had lost some of the little nuances and attention to detail of the bungie games, a little bit of the romance and the personality. i didn't like the new promethean enemies, bizarrely they reminded me of the deku scrubs from ocarina of time, i couldn't really take them seriously.
i'll probably give it another playthrough whilst there's a bit of a gaming drought. maybe i'll take to it more second time round. the changeover from bungie to microsoft felt a bit like the difference between a designer shirt and an imitation one - from a distance you can't tell the difference but when you examine it up close you find the quality's just not the same ;)
