halo 3 vs call of duty 4

They haven't announced it to be GOTY.

[QUOTE="greenpyro33"]COD4 easily. Its GOTY julian_jr

They haven't announced it to be GOTY.

I was stating my opinon :P

It's not GOTY - Bioshock is. Halo 3 isn't going to win jack **** Until Halo gets a good revamp in the graphics department, the fanbase, and the overall story - it ain't getting my vote. I'm tired of sequals recycling textures, models, and shaders. It's like they dont care nor want to spend the time actually perfecting the game. EDIT: and to Grafkun - no, there is no user customization or expansion to Halo 3. The maps are made and released by Bungie for a price. The users cannot create their own maps or mods like CoD4 can. And probably never will. Not to mention, there is only the video mode in Halo3. I see no reason for you to say that Halo 3 has more user expansion. State facts please.OmegaNemesis28

call of duty 4 , i haven't played Halo 3 though, anywayz call of duty 4 is my vote ..

i think your reading wrong, no one said anything about GOTY, plus just b/c spike says bioshock is GOTY doesn't mean it is for everyone. plus we're not talking about awards, we're just talking about COD4 and halo3. i know what the customization is in halo3, i know you cant edit the level geometry and stuff like that, but there still is a lot of flexibility for user generated game variants. just saying. that is the reason why i like halo3 better than COD4, user content man... user content.

plus you said ppl can create there own maps on COD4, in the PC version yes, but lets keep the debate on the same platform. naturally the PC version of any game pwns, i realize this and i acknowledge it. but can ppl do it for the 360 version? i dont think so, we need to stay on the same playing field omega. im all up for a good debate, but we have to be on the same platform. so in the 360 version, there is little customization in COD4, while in halo3 there is a lot.

o rly? every game to date has a sandbox like editor? give me a list of console games with that feature. does COD4 have a forge like editor? no.

consoles are always restrictive - thats why it sucks And yes, modding on a CoD4 is possible on a 360. Especially via LAN, easiest way to go. It's probably not possible just going online and doing it but , you do have a selection of varied options as is when you host a CoD4 game online. The weapons you cant restrict because then that ruins that game comepletely. Halo 3 was a complete jip out of people's cash by M$ and they'll keep doing it with pointless map packs. Even when fans are asking for their Blood Gulch over and over, M$ isn't going to listen to their fan base - people who are a fan of Halo 3, just like WoW, are pawns in making money. But, then again what isn't these days. Though, at least people like Infinity Ward and Valve CARE about what people suggest and say. They are constantly adding to the community for FREE. One of the many downfalls of Halo 3. Not to mention, I still havent got any hard facts that prove Halo 3 is better then CoD4 other then this pointless arguement of "which is more user friendly". Since when does that play a huge factor, it does play a SMALL factor, but neverless not a big one such as gameplay or anything like that. Halo 3 has nothing on CoD4. Never will either.OmegaNemesis28

what undeniable charm? The huge ass BLOOM EFFECTS that burn the pupils of your eye lids just so the game looks prettier then it really looks. All due to the fact that Bungie was too lazy to develop some new graphics, textures, models, weapons, ect and just went ahead and used old **** Made them looks somewhat shiny? Halo was the best out of all the halo games and spin offs. Since then, it's been a COMPLETELY blown out of proportion game that brings about NOTHING revolutionary or new to video games. Infact, it works AGAINST video games in most cases. I think WoW has a better affect on video games then Halo does. That's saying alot from me, trust me. It truly breaks my heart to see myself compliment my worst enemy.OmegaNemesis28

...It's no secret. Halo 3's graphics were just like Halo 2....greenpyro33

Halo 3's graphics are not the same as Halo 2's. I know, because I have both games, and you can notice a difference in the graphics when playing the two games.

ok omega, dont bring in the DLC pricing, msoft controls that plus lets talk the game how you get it straight out of the box. right out of the box for COD4, you get a great shooter, but limited customization, like you said, you cant even restrict the weapons in it! in halo3 you get forge and theater right away, with a bunch of items to work with and great camera control. both combined as well as other customization things, like shields, gravity and stuff allow tons of stuff be generated. in COD4 there is none of this, what is this LAN thing you keep saying? explain to me plz.

then you say new weapons, levels blah blah, of course every game has that, and halo3 had a hell of a lot new weapons and vehicles and stuff. plus equipment. i will give props to the COD4 perk system as its hella cool. like i've been saying, the oppurtunities of content that you can create is way more the COD4. just answer this, can you make alterations of existing game variants? no right? in halo3 you can change a variant so much that its a whole new game mode.

Halo 3 is too similar to Halo 2. I personally did not like Bioshock. COD4 managed to be fresh in a very full genregreenpyro33

why didn't u like bioshock ?

Halo 3 was too hyped up, but only just. I just don't like Halo 3 too much, but when I got Cod 4 I really loved it so much, H3 didn't addict me as much.The_Pro_310

ur right. it was too hyped

omega- whats so new about halo3? the forge and theater, ok maybe you just dont realize the potential of it, but both of those components aren't so much part of the game. hmm, how to explain this? ok here we go, both of those are like a tool kit, features to help ppl who own the game. personally i have had some amazing, i mean amazing moments in others ppls customed maps and game variants.

like infection, i was playing it with 10 other people and it was on sandtrap. the zombies were normal, just no shields, then every human goes into the building and hunkers down there for as long as they can, its was awesome. then when 2 zombies managed to remove the barriers on an entrance every human ran outside, there we just BR- scoped zombies and kept running, eventually we got infected, but it was hella fun.

this is what i am talking about, halo3 is a tool kit. if forge and theater were released as a seperate game disc and the multiplayer matchmaking (all custom games are held in the... custom game lobby, so that would be on the forge/theater disc) and campaign (yes i know it wasn't very good, better than 2, but no where near 1) were released on another disc... i would pay 60 bucks for the forge/theater one right away. so whats so new about it? like a sequel, it builds of the originals and ads in more gameplay features and modes.

COD4, still very similar to the others right? sure the setting is different, and better than the others but its still its COD true and true. as for grfx and stuff, COD4 lacks art s-t-y-l-e!!!!! personally this is important for me, halo3 has amzing atmosphere and design. look at the weapons, IMO the brute shot is a sexy looking weapon and the needler is well... unique. sure COD4 has really great realitic weapons and correct structure and feel, but comtemporary weapons well they're common.

last thing, COD4 focuses on intense firefights, why? well first off, no vehicles and perks encourage you to fight aggressively and stuff. Halo3 multiplayer is more accessibility focused and easier to jump in, it focuses on... everything, depends on the stage, some are vehicle heavy, others are designed for CQC while on may be great for long distance sniping. so these glaring differences naturally do seperate each game from one another, but its the forge/theater tool kit functionality that makes halo3 better thant COD4 for me.

what?OmegaNemesis28

Time magazine had a game of the year awards. It gave #1 to Halo 3. It's ludacris

omega- i answered you, you just dont see the potential of the tool kit. tell me what other CONSOLE game has any feature/mode even similar to forge and theater? answer that and i will acknowledge that halo3 is not very "new". sure the editor stuff aint new, but at least it has it in it! and recycled stuff, yeah but its a sequel, what we're you expecting? do you think bungies going to deviate from the series art style? no.

ok i think you're misinterpreting art style. look at the brute armor, personally i think the brute chieftains helmet is really slick looking, this is what i am talking about. the vehicles, the brute chopper, just look at it, its hysterical looking. a giant rotating engine thingy with a pod attached to it!!!!! how can you not just laugh and appreciate it? i understand what you're saying though, you look at a games aspects as the functionality aspect not at the personall feeling you get. when i look at COD4 i see a shooter primarily focusing on the intensity and combat. which it does in spades i admit.

whats with all this grfx things you keep saying? so COD4 is not like a souped up COD3 then? sure. recycling stuff from halo2 doesn't mean it doesn't have the art style still. at least the covenant/flood are fun to too look at, unlike muslim extremists and russian agents or w/e in COD4.
