The Halo Series vs. The Metal Gear Series...WHO WINS?

just thought this topic mite come with a bit of arguement

Metal Gear series?

or

Halo series?

Staelth vs Shooterz lolololol

Halo

Metal Gear Solid is better.

Story: MGS

Graphics: MGS

Gameplay: SAME

Sound; MGS
Value: Halo

Halo

MGS is a convoluted mess

wow... this is gonna end up pretty bad

*gets some popcorn *

I have enjoyed the Halo series more and am more well versed in the story, universe, etc.

MGS4 is one of my top favorite games though, right under Halo.

mgs has done more for the stealth genre then halo has done for the shooter genre, the only major advantage that halo has over mgs is its online component, but other then that mgs takes the cake imo atleast, but mgs has always been for those who are fans of the series, theyve never been about mass appeal, so obviously there will be plenty of people who will disagree with my opinionlinkin_guy109

MGS wins in most categories. Besides multiplayer.dgsag

Well lemme compare the two:

MGS's gameplay = garbage

Halo = Amazing and easy to get into

MGS' MP = :lol: embarrasing

Halo's = Fun with great replayability and features

MGS's stroy= Terrible and convoluted

Halo = Epic and well written

Im going to go with halo on this one. The only thing MGS can touch halo in is the music.

metal gear.

MGS series alone slaughters halo

MG1 and 2 on the MSX is just icing on the cake

Halo isnt even the best shooter out right now.

MGS series offers a lot of things no other series has to offer.

MGS's gameplay = garbage

People will be playing Halo for years but not MGS.Jamex1987

5 years from now MGS will go down as one of the greatest games of this gen, Halo will be clumped in with the way too many shooters this gen.

People will be playing MGS 5 years from now? It doesn't have the lasting appeal. By that time the servers will be shut down.

hmm....stealth action adventure...or run and gun mindless shooter with colorful aliens??...hmmmm??

Your comparing a 20 year old series to a 6 year old series:|DanteSuikoden

and?

I don't like the MGS games so I have to go with Halo.

I can see why someone would pick MGS though.

Well lemme compare the two:

MGS's gameplay = garbage

Halo = garbage

MGS' MP = :lol: embarrasing

Halo's = not as bad as MGO but still a mess

MGS's stroy= Terrible and convoluted

Halo = Boring and predictable

Im going to go with the "I wantthe hours of my life I wasted on these games back" option.

There,I fixed it. In other words,I hate both franchises.

and?

Its obvious a series that's 20 years old would have a bigger fanbase than a 6 year old series. Althought I wouldn't be surprised if fanboys thought otherwise

actually it was 8 years....kojima wanted the whole series to start of with metal gear solid for ps1...because he knew that not alot of people were familiar with metal gear and metal gear 2 on the msx consoles...solid was not only a start of a whole new series and the codename of the main character....but it was a technical term as well.

servers or no servers, mgs4 will always be known as the greatest of its time because it brought gorgeous visuals to a new standard and developed a story unmatched by another game of its time. a game doesnt go down in the history books as the best ever because it was a popular online shooter, games go down as the best because of the stories they tell, the innovative gameplay and visuals they supply, and their ability to capture the hearts of millions of its followers (and not for the online). Zelda: Ocarina of time is one of the greatest games ever and still is, and thats because millions of people played it online? no, because it re-invented storytelling and immensely depth gameplay all into one. Final Fantasy is one of the most storied franchises in gaming history, and it is because its Multiplayer dominated all others? Its not about multiplayer, its about the story and its gameplay...multiplayer is but only an alternative mode to the real game itself.

Well he didn't put "solid" in the title so I assumed he meant since the game that came out in 1987:P

Halo's story "good"?

Sure if your 12.

2. What about Unreal Tournament... Counterstrike ???And i know you can then quote lots of famous SP franchises, but you have to realise that's just because online MP hasn't been aroung long enough to have as many examples. Just as there wasn't as many memorable 3D games in 1999 as they're are now....
