Halo will probably win the poll due to the mass numbers of cows here. But I voted Call of Duty.

I tried to balance things out. Cows have two things to vote for (Halo and Final Fantasy), Lemmings have (GoW and MGS), and then there is a neutral option (COD).

No game with such horrid single players (earlier versions are exempt I&II) should be so successful

MGS and anything by Valve, as saying your distaste on those games will ignite flame wars on you (despite that these same groups ignite their distaste to Halo to "kingdom come", which is why i call Halo overhated). I would say COD back when "converting" from Halo to COD was as popular as the Beatles, but since MW2 there's plenty of hatred for COD.

Only an idiot would vote for MGS4.

GamingKidX

...and that's the reason why people call games "overrated"

That is perfectly fine, but as I said, they have horrid single players. So they should not be as successful because of that. In my eyes, Infinity Ward and Treyarch release half games.

Halo series for sure. The online component for Halo is fun but not very good. The campaigns for Halo games are also extremely overrated.

Some people may view it the opposite way. People who prefer multiplayer might hate single player only games for having little replay value.

Oh okay lol i never saw it.

Anyways yeah it would be FF because the combat gets boring, and what really makes the game is its graphics and story.

I don't think you understand me.
It is fine that people prefer multiplayer over single. However, I am trying to say that it is not acceptable for a developer to release a game with a good multiplayer and then a half-assed single player.

True, but I think Final Fantasy is a bit overrated now. SquareEnix keep making these games because fans keep buying them, but the quality of the stories and game play has gone down. I don't think God of War is overrated. MGS is definitely heading in that direction.

Call of Duty by far. I've hated every installment of every game I've tried out on it. Especially modern warfare, with the typical FPS grenades that one shot you. Seriously, counter-strike is probably the only FPS I can think of off the top of my head that has done grenades right.

Best is subjective, just how you dont like Halo, dont be offended or defensive when someone doesnt agree with your opinion. :D

Oh and i voted CoD. Though i agree with Silverbond i voted for sake of the poll, and because CoD is the series i least enjoy.

ive played the first 2, once beaten i promptly sold them. and considering the number of ps3 owners who are saying the third is the worst in the season, i wouldn't bother with that one.

I'll second that - I never really got into it. All of the series on that list are phenomenal.
