it's not on ps3

Halo isnt even the best shooter out right now.

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

your right no game has those two in the same package :D

Halo's story "good"?

Sure if your 12.

A good story is usually one that has to be told, halo is a shooter so cutscenes aren't meant to be long. MGS4 is almost half cutscene, half gameplay, so there is a lot more space for the developer to tell you the story and portray the characters and their relation to eachother.

Halo's strength in terms of story telling is the world it's set in in, the vistas and the glorious music. MGS strengh lies more in the character development (which can get a bit over the top, i mean fat guy on skates lol) and it's plot. I like mgs, I played the first game when I was 12 and I believed it was amazing and deeper than most games.

I played halo a couple of years later and I thought I finally found the game that can rival most movies, even more so than mgs. Too much is not always better. Halo didn't have a lot of cutscenes, to tell you the truth I don't even remember most of the cutscenes. What I do remember is a lot of gameplay moments like landing on halo and seeing the ring. The game doesn't reveal these moments in cutscenes, no the game let's you discover these moments yourself while you are playing, where am I, what does this ring do etc. That's how you make a good game with a good story, bioshock is another good example, just like half life.

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

People still play MGS1 to this day. That means people have been playing MGS for a decade. And don't even get me started on MG1 and MG2:SS

damn you, why in the hell did you have to put this as a poll..

what happens if i like both?

well there are probably still people who right now are playing big rigs...but that's not the point he's trying to make. Halo's popularity will last longer than mgs' is what he means.

Halo for Multiplayer

Mgs for single player

Metal Gear Solid is a series that has an amazing story and its games are better.

The Metal Gear series is over. They might never make any spin offs or anything, it's done. While the Halo series has just begun. The Halo series will be like the Mario and Zelda series, it will live on until the end of time. While Metal Gear ended with MGS4.

MGS.. There are very few games quite like it.. Though I am a fan of neitehr.. I think MGS series is loads better in originality and other such things..

Halo is another shooter, with a pretty lame story (IMO), with a even lamer character.. And really has done nothing for the shooter genre aside from makign recharging shields popular.. Which I think is inapproriate in alot of games.

There will be some possible prequils or spin-offs, but the SOLID SAGA is over. The closure, for me, was great! If there's one thing I hate, it's milkage.

MGS by far, not that halo is bad its just run of the mill is all. MGS is 20 years strong, the only thing halo does better is mulitplayer, thats it. MGS kicks its ass in graphics, gameplay, story, presentation, scale, everything, except mutliplayer.

false, i just got finished playing MGS 1, that came out 10 years ago, you fail.

Halo has quite a good MP component and that clearly defines the series. MGS is an unforgettable singe player expierence and they tacked on a forgettable MP segement this time. The Halo story is there, it's not great it gets the job done and is training for the MP. The MGS story shoves itself down your throught wraught with the whole convaluted and poorly wirtten dialogue. It is still an exceptional.

Overall MGS for me is better.

well i did like the first halo..after that they went down hill. mgs series all have incredibly addictive storys, just one of those games you cant put down you just have to see what happens next. none of the halo games ever gave me that feeling like the mgs series have always made me feel. just wonderful games. for my vote it would defiantely have to go to metal gear, but everyone to their own. there 2 different types of games..cant really compare them..

Metal Gear wins. Droopeh

Greatest. Avatar. Ever.

I love Halo 1-3. I own a 360 and not a PS3. And I STILL say MGS4.dsmccracken

Apart from the last 2 MGS games, i love the series.

Halo is a great game and all, but i like the MGS world more.

FPS is my favorite genre and I still have to vote MGS.Bubblehash

Yeah same here but MGS just blew me away

I'm gonna say Metal Gear.

The MGS series is one of my favourite game series of all time. Halo is great, but it's not up near the top of my list.

I'm gagging for some Halo: CE right now, but i've got far too many games to finish first.:evil:
