Gears 1 for the incredible campaign, Halo 3 for multiplayer. Overall package, Halo 3 wins, but I'd still prefer to play Gears 1 more due to the campaign.

Halo campaigns are great during replays. The AI is very unique and fun each time.

Gears of War has always been the best 360 exclusive series. I thought Bungie dropped the ball with Halo this gen, it's all about the MP which I feel is not as good as many other shooters like COD or KZ.

Gears has pretty good solid campaigns and good online, Gears 3 MP is so fun I love the mode where you get to play as the locusts or whatever their names are and you attack the other players trying to survive against you. Gears is awesome! Even if the storyline is stupid.

Halo 3 is incredible. I think the multiplayer is much better than that of Halo Reach.

Can't stand the fact that Halo 3 is just a boring game?

Halo 3 was the better game, Gears 1 imo had much better art direction. Those dudes at epic are talented artists, among the best this gen imo.

Gears boasts some very beautiful architecture("destroyed beauty")and the enemies all possess interesting designs.

I don't see how anyone could say differently. Just because the main characters look like steroid munching meatheads, everyone assumes the rest of the game is braindead and classless.

Look past all of that and you'll see the game contains some pretty fine examples of neo-gothic art.

Gears of War 1 was the most impressive in its time, but I feel I've outgrown it, didn't really care for the campaigns of 2 or 3 either but I did find Horde mode to be highly addictive especially when playing with friends who love it just as much as I do, so I still got lots of satisfaction from it. Didn't care for the competitive MP in any of them though. Halo 3 was okay, there's always something with Halo games I feel they could do better and Halo 3 was no exception, like shotguns barely being any effective beyond melee range, same for the standard assault rifles feel like they're murdering Covenant with with airsoft pellets, then the battle rifles not carrying enough ammo and wasting shots with the burst go to me, it wasn't until Reach that they seemed to address these issues, but they're still fun games. I'd say my favorite Halo game this gen (and I'm probably in the minority for saying it) was ODST, at first I wasn't that impressed and thought it was rather short but before Reach released I went back and played it by myself on Legendary, it was much more enjoyable and a nice challenge that way. Anyhow, between the two I give it to Gears, I mean nothing in the Halo arsenal beats having a chainsaw on the Lancer.

I'm currently playing Halo 3. I barely remember a single thing about Gears. H3 is turning out better than I expected. Bit of a jarring experience having not played a pre-MW shooter in quite some time.

Halo 3 multiplayer alone is better than the entire package of Gears 1 IMO. And that's saying a lot because the Gears 1 campaign was great. But that's how damn addictive the MP in Halo 3 was. A lot of good times and memories. It was so damn good!! Did I mention it was addictive?

I honestly don't see how people prefer reach over Halo 3. Halo 3 was a tough act to follow and Reach while good was disappointing. The fun just wasn't there like in Halo 3 especially in BTB games.

By the way did I mention that Halo 3 is addictive?:cool:

Halo 3 definitely, but if you said Gears 2, then that would be a tough one

Completely agree.

I replayed "the covenant" dozens of times just to watch it in theatre.
