I would say Halo 3.
This topic is locked from further discussion.
Uh, Popular? Halo 3, at this point in time, and maybe this whole gen.
Then again, I only speak from the Western side of the world, perhaps a world tally would surprise us. I think Halo has had just SO MUCH MARKETING out there for it, though.
MONEY can make things POPULAR. Of course, being of quality does help for longevity's sake.
Looking at sales it seems Halo 3 is popular by quite a large margin, though it's not exactly difficult to see why. Shooters are incredibly popular this generation (and made their mark last gen definitely) which is focused on Multiplayer, which is yet another thing that it seems the majority want this generation, whereas MGS4 is a single player experience and is the end of a 4-part tale of Solid Snake. Don't get me wrong though, I adored MGS4 (and am part of the single player > multiplayer camp who are, if not a minority, then at least rather non-vocal) but it's obvious that Halo takes the popularity crown.
Though you would need to define popularity I guess. I'd guarantee that most people who come in here and think for more than 10 seconds are going to equate popularity to sales; it's simply logical.

He owns a PC and 360, just by reading his name.
Perhaps he'd like to see HALO win something more recentt. Perhaps the majority of posters votes. That way he won't have to think of MGS4 anymore?
Anyone with a brain here know Halo would pretty lose anything here at system wars. People love to hate Halo here, even if they haven't played it.

Its More like Lizzie McGuire the Movie (H3) Vs The Dark Knight (MGS4).

Pretty much, but I wanted to emphasize that the games are too different to compare, as opposed to just pointing out that Halo is crap, which wouldn't really get us anywhere. Then again, nothing ever goes anywhere in System Wars, so what the hell?

See what Im talking about. Alot of people here have blind hate toward Halo.
To alot of these people Halo killed their family, caused global warming, raised taxes and mugged an old lady in a dark alley.

As a matter of fact lets not overkill Halo3...
Lets Compare it with another Shooter.
Half Life 2: Episode2 puts Halo3 to Shame, a slow, shallow, worthless shooter...
From the current results, each of the three games are equally popular.
The point? I guess Halo 3 and MGS4 are on the same level as Big Rigs.
Take that, System Wars standards. 360 and PS3 fail! HAHA!
Seriously though, who cares..? Halo 3 is obviously more popular. Does that mean its better? No. I'm not saying either one is BETTER but Halo 3 is most definitely more popular. Thats like comparing the Madden series and the Otogi series. If you haven't heard of the Otogi series, congratulations you prove my point :P

There is actually a pretty big crowd that likes HL2ep2, or so I've heard...

lol i was just joking around. damn everyone on sw takes things i say so literally. btw everyone is saying according to sales h3 is more popular but lets not forget that it came out almost a full year before mgs4. just my 2 cents.I loved Episode 2, don't get me wrong but whaaatt? It added nothing new to the Half Life formula beyond buildings that break (Its cool, sure, but.. so what?) and then you're going to call Halo 3 shallow? Seriously, what? Neither game is shallow and they're both played very differently, so why are we comparing them anyway?As a matter of fact lets not overkill Halo3...

I could have told you that. I'm justsaying that on System wars Halo is considered an evil monster.
If your suggesting though that MGS4 may eventaully hit a level of popularity similar to Halo, I'd say it's completly possible. MGS2 managed to sell over 7 mill. Thats just roughly 1 mill less than Halo 2 and 3's sells. If MGS4 can replicate that success then it has a fighting chance.

Because not liking the game automatically means that you're just doing it to be "With the cool people?"
Is it not possible to not like it because well... you don't think it's fun? Like myself?
I respect Halo as a game, but it's just not for me... Then again, few Console shooters are.

Well, if the user I was responding to had been more respectable about the game(like you are), then yeah sure, dislike it. I totally get where you come from. I can't stand turn based strategy games, but I respect them and I don't trash those game simply because I dislike them.
Well halo 3 is obviously more popular if u look at sales and the number of people that play it online.Honestly though i dont really see the need for this thread other than its just yet another ps3 vs. 360 thread.Both games are good and have there fanbase but if i had to choose only one id have to go with halo 3 just because i enjoy the multiplayer alot more than metal gears.Graphics wise though u have to give it to metal gear,not that either one of these games look bad.loudharleyPopularity=Victory
and i think that what this poll is being voted on instead of popularity.Popular? You would have to somewhat insane to say MGS4 is more popular then Halo 3. Sales are usually a good indictation of popularity. (and this poll pretty much proves the insanity of SW)
The better game is much more debatable.

LOlolol you are so cool and cultured. The Dark Knight = bestest movie ever.
So are you the guy who is too smart for the Dark Knight because it's just a pretentious action movie, or are you the guy who is too dumb for the Dark Knight because it's strange and confusing?

Or you could just go right out and say you dislike Halo for no reason and stop wasting everyone's time.
