7Battlefield: Bad Company
8Too Human Demo

just noticed the past two weeks people seemed to have returned to halo3, leaving cod4 at #2 spot.

I like them both for different things.

CoD4 is more real and more about patience and teamwork.

Halo 3 is more over the top action and all out fun.

cod4 by miles

I personally enjoy Halo 3 more, but I also like COD4 and play that sometimes as well... the style of play in COD4 frustrates me more oftenand often seems "cheaper," still an awesome game though. I think you'll find many COD4 hating on Halo endlessly because it's such a recognizable and popular FPS, but not the other way around.

Doesn't surprise me. Halo 3 has more core players who will stick around whiile I'm guessing a lot of the COD community will get divided once games like Bad Company come out.

CoD4 is more real and more about patience and teamwork.

Cold Storage and Bungie Day.

Aswell as the new Bungie game hype.

That's why the difference.

Also MP wise Halo 3 >>> CoD 4 for me, but the SP is a bit more even, with Halo edging it out becasue of player Co-Op.

No, but it does take more patience, ya know, with all the camping people do on that game. I think that cod4 is a amazing game, but it seems that every game that I play I get killed because I was stupid enough to actually go somewhere. I don't like to camp so thats a big reason why I prefer Halo 3.

of cours it was a fad. Peoeple finally realized it takes no skill. The game has some fun in it, but it i snothing, but a camp fest of a game and your rank basically means nothing.too_much_eslim

if people used team work on halo properly, it would make it much easier to own matches. people just dont seem to listen very well, actually it happens in a lot of online games, clans seem to be the only ones ever to use teammates. and i guess when your playing with your friends through voice chat aswell.

cod4 is a bit like cs, as in not as much teamwork i guess. i think cod4 requires a bit more teamwork than cs because of all the different modes. in cs you can see people with huge kill death ratios while the rest of the team are far below. everyone seems to go lone ranger in cs.

I am a level 45 in Team Slayer, a 38 in Team Objective, and I am over 30 in most other original game types. I know what it takes to win in Halo. But IMO, its much more critical to work as a team in CoD4 than in Halo 3.

There are some cases where that is not the case, but overall, I feel CoD4 requires more teamwork, especially in the hardcore games, which is what I play on.

Not really.... In COD 4, you see the guy first, you usually kill him. In halo, you see a guy first, anything can happen. In Halo 3, if you're playing with a good team, you always hear people calling out enemy locations and weapons. Meanwhile in COD4 i usually see people going wherever they want...

SpruceCaboose

Yes, that is exactly what I am saying.

In Halo 3 you need patience, communication, team shooting, weapon control, weapon timing, and spawn trapping.

team hardcore in COD 4 yeah i agree with that....everything else not as much...

and i wasn't trying to shoot you down or anything....i was just saying that Halo is a team game...my bad if it came out wrong.

I think search and destroy and the hardcore varients are the only moments in COD 4 where team is actually critical, i think the gameplay kind of lends itself out to be Rambo like....But I mostly snipe so take that with a grain of salt I guess.jg4xchamp

Could be true. I cannot stand the other modes in CoD4 enough to play them. Hardcore is where I am at. I love that variant.

Slightly off-topic, me, you, and FBISniper should play Halo 3 some day and potentially own!:twisted:

Because of the way the respawning works, and the airstrikes, and such

it is easy to just start cornoring a team in, then pick them apart as they start to respawn(because you try to keep everybody confined in one area

Thus leading to massive airstrikes, choppers kills, and huge kill counts, with fewer deaths

there are strategies involved in COD 4 as well. Sure most of it is using a game designe flaw to your benefit, but for the most part there are aspects of the game that require team work

Location

Getting the UAV for your teammate with the airstrike

being the cover sniper for the people further down the map

Being the cover for your sniper...and making sure he gets his time to get his shots...

Depends on the system.

COD4 on PC is better.

However on the 360 - Halo 3 feels much more suited, and for that reason on a console Halo 3 multi is better.

Overral though COD4 on PC outdoes it.

Lately, I am usually the only one on my team with a mic in Halo 3. It seems like the community went mute. Well besides the annoying swearing children. They are still mic'd.

If you'd like a 4th for that group I'd be up for it. I'm lvl 47 in team slayer and my gamertag is philamanjaro. send me a friend request if you want to.

I completely disagree.

Camping only happens in the free-for-all modes.

It happens very rarely in team games.

Also, the game requires A LOT of skill.

I believe it requires a lot more skill than Halo.

COD4 is all about your accuracy, your attention to the slightest of movements, watching your enemies moves, incase they're trying to flank your team, and etc.

I do agree, Rank means nothing, but in most cases, rank means nothing in Halo 3 as well.

There are gold crosses rankers that are just godly, and others that are just noob.

In conclusion, COD4 is better than Halo 3.

COD4 is all about your accuracy, your attention to the slightest of movements, watching your enemies moves, incase they're trying to flank your team, and etc.

That exact same thing can be said about Halo 3.

yeah, I've been playing Halo3 consistantly since release and I still get entertainment out of it. I think the reason is that Bungie kept tossing out new modes and maps for us to play, keeps things fresh. If they keep that up next year as well, then I'll deffinitely keep playing.

Halo 3. Bungie will keep support on Halo 3 and keep it up in atleast the top 5 til either the next Halo or the next Xbox. CoD4 will be an afterthought once CoD WOW is out. Not saying it will be a better game than 4... but people won't realize that IW is not making CoD WOW and buy it cause of CoD4.

Also I think Halo is the better skilled game. It's harder to rack up Kills in Halo than it is in CoD4.
