They are both far above average and as such get a lot of hate and are both over rated.

Gears of War campaign is good. I played once through casual, hardcore, and then insane (got as far as I could). If you want replay value out of the campaigns, it lies in the difficult. It's the like the samething with Drake's Crushing mode or playing Mario Galaxy longer by playing to get 120 stars rather than stopping at 60. It gets more challenging. With Halo 3, I played over 2 hours into the campaign and STILL didn't find it that enjoyable/worth to play so I just stopped. The multiplayer is the only thing satisfying imo (even though I think that portion is over rated too). People praise Halo 3 for being balanced, but when you think about it, I don't think it was really hard for Bungie to balance the game out when there is barely any teamwork involved. It's not like TF2 or Killzone 2 with different classes. Those games are a lot harder to balance.

And let's not forget that to get that multi-player you're forced to buy new maps.Michael324

No you dont. I ahvent bought a single GeoW map and i play it every day. halo on the other hand, ive bought all of them. Thats truley the best MP game on xbox. Playing with your friends on forge is awesome.

Try COD4 and get back to me. COD4 is vastly superior to any other FPS I've played on a console, ever.

Is this a joke? Did you not get into gaming until 2007 or something?

It just seems to me that online multi-player is the only way to get ANY kind of replay out of them.Michael324
Nope. I've replayed Gears and Gears 2 campaigns a couple of times.

Yes, they are that good (except for GeOW2's MP, just a few more tweaks please).

to me they are both average, I got GeoW2 for $40 and it is a pretty good game, not great though. I don't really like Halo, I don't really like the gameplay all that much, then again, I haven't played it that much either.

I think the first resistance fall of man had was the most complete shooter i have played, very good single player 10- 12 hours with multiple difficulties and great online. Sadly the second had a pretty weak single player. I beat Killzone 2 in 5 hours and the online is only decent. Halo is average i prefer the weapons from resistance, And i couldn't get through the second level in Gears of War without realizing its just another generic shooter with no story and grunts who love to say "Hell Yeah". Im tired of fps, these days all i play are single player games or sports games online.

Halo 3 is really good in terms of multiplayer, Gears of war not so much although the campaign/coop is fun for gears of war. For me Halo 3 is as good its review scores, Gears of War not so much still a good game though.

I enjoy them quite alot actually. I went through Halo 3's story about 4 times already with some friends (Gears 1&2 about 3 times max I believe).

Also, I don't remember being forced to pay for maps for any of them in order to play their multiplayer. :|

I really don't like gears much at all. But the Halo series is one of the most fun ever. Gears is extremely repetitive and I just hate it.

I'm not a big fan of Gears of War but I do enjoy the multiplayer and horde mode. As for Halo 3, speak for yourself. I love the versus multiplayer but I also get a lot of replay value out of the campaign. Especially from the original Halo. Also Forge mode is very fun to just mess around with.
