Can someone compare Halo 3 and COD4 for me?

I've been hearing a lot of this "COD4 kills Halo 3" talk, but no one has explained why yet. I have never been able to find a shooter that plays as fluid and tight as Halo does...not Half Life 1 or 2, not anything,with accurate hit-boxing and consistent gameplay. As much as I want to believe COD4 is that good, and go buy it, I can't. I've heard all kinds of things, but games just can't top the Halo gameplay, even if its campaign and maps were disappointing.

So can someone explain this to me? Preferably a person who has played both games extensively. From what I've seen, most of the people who like COD4 were never really huge Halo fans to begin with. Thanks for the help.

their just jealous because they can barely find people online to play with on COD4.

LMFAO.

I dont want to play with people that stupid^

They are completely different from each other, my advice is to get both because they're amazing for different reasons.

why you'd fit in?

Halo 3 is much more polished than COD4. It has a better story and better visuals.

It may seem like I'm bashing COD4 into a ****ing wall, but I'm not. I love COD4. Halo3 was just much more impressive as a whole.

I may be stupid but there's no way Im as stupid as you. You think CoD4 cant even find a game, yea ok. I find a game everytime I try and I dont even have to wait 2 minutes. In Halo 3 I have to wait 10 minutes alot. Thats why I said that I dont want to play with people as stupid as you are, you cant even realize that there are alot of people playing CoD4Shade-Blade

didn't I once hear you say how much you suck in halo?

get cod 4 and compare them for yourself thats the only way you can really see what either side says.....then you can make your own opinion...

I was never a huge Halo fan...but this is how it went for me

Bought Halo 3 b/c all my friends play....stopped playing after about 3 weeks. COD4 came out, played it to hell...beat it on veteran, got max level online....now I much prefer Halo over it. They are really two different games, btu I like Halo 3's MP better over all. And now im really getting back into Halo...dono how to explain it...its all about prefrence....i would recommnd getting halo over cod4 tho....def has more replay value

There's noway anyone can ever repsect someone who says that halo has better controls and tighter scheme then the half-life series. You wouldnt seriopusly get beat down if you said that in public to anyone. good god

as for halo 3 having better graphic, you need your eyes checked or to take that stupid plastic heep they called a helmet you got in your waste of $120 LE

as for you silverRider....your too easy. i'm just gonna let you keep what shred of diginity your mother has let you keep all these years and just let you rant on about how good The Green Armored Wanna-be is the greatest in the world

Community. I think younger people play Halo 3 online. They have a tendency to be more brash, racist, and just meaner than those I've played with on COD4.

I like Halo 3, but honestly, if you've played Halo 2, you've played Halo 3. It's nearly a complete rehash of the second Halo. Sure it looks and sounds better, but in the end, it's the same game. The story line is a little difficult to follow and when all is said and done, you just don't care about it. You just want to blast some people and "finish the fight". The online multiplayer is more of the same.

That said, COD4 goes back to its Infinity Ward roots. Infinity Ward made COD2, which, I believe, was far better than COD3, and a big reason why I picked up COD4. It has yet to disappoint me. I just finished it on Hardened and now I'm into the online multiplayer. At first, I liked the WWII setting of COD 3 more, but this modern setting has grown on me quite a bit. I think the Call of Duty series is far better than Halo.

Halo 3 is much more polished than COD4. It has a better story and better visuals.

It may seem like I'm bashing COD4 into a ****ing wall, but I'm not. I love COD4. Halo3 was just much more impressive as a whole.

halos contols are better than half life on 360 unless your comparing it to the pc version.

Ok this should be pretty simple. i will not provide anything biased or anything i know to be false with either of these games. You said you want to someone experienced in both these games. well i am a level 45 plus in halo 3 in all my accounts. (MLG TORCH, XGC TORCH, STOLEN3MONTH,) In COD4 im a 48 or so on MLG TORCH. You can verify it if you would like.

CALL OF DUTY 4: This game is simply crazy. Extremely fast paced. Noone can ever take the upper hand in a game. Every weapon you use forces you to use tactics to effectively use it. Honestly the graphics have not improved too much but for gameplay its a blast. Now during games you will die in about a second if you start getting shot. Remember the halo 2 fast paced miracles? If you loved those kindof experiences you will love this game. Cod4 lets you add perks and design (well add different scopes and colors) to your weapons. This will help you depending on how you want to play the game.

HALO 3: Enough said. It has the background of 2 legendary games. It truley is visually gorgeous. Now that those are said. Gameplay is a blast as you already know. you can pull miracles but for the most part it has come down to taking dominance over the map you are playing on and than keeping it for the rest of the game. However compared to COD4 speed of gameplay it is slower. It still is a amazing game however.

You said that you have halo 3 and are thinking about COD4. I would recomend buying it if you liked the halo 2 speed of the gameplay. this will provide that.

I like how everyone is bashing and not contributing to the thread. STFU if you aren't contributing...

If you like Halo 3 you will most likely like CoD4. I only have one slight problem with CoD4. That is the lag in some games. I can never find a game with everyone having full green bars. THere is always that ONE person with a yellow bar causing all the lag.

You have never played against me so your opinion is automatically void "sucker". You can live in your fantasy world where Halo 3 is God but I wont fall into the hype. F you kid.Shade-Blade

you once said halo is all run and gun in straight lines then melee them, if thats seriously how you play then you suck.

F you because halo will still be the shooting juggernaut it is today without you so kiss my ass.

while theyre both shooters, you cant compare them much more than that

halo is run and gun. every body starts with the smae weapons.a slower paced game.melee plays a huge role. halo runs 30fps, has slightly worse graphics imo than cod4, but it has a unique feature called saved films that records everything you do so you can go back and wathc it

call of duty is more realistic, you have to utilize cover. it is a class based game. you unlock mroe things as you go thru the multiplaer ranks.cod4 is 60fps and has slightly better graphics imo

COD4 = good. Halo 3 = Better.jmartinez1983

im with this guy

hes got the right idea

DO ALOT OF PPL PLAY COD4 ONLINE?!?!?!?!

Thanks to those of you who gave me some descriptions and critiques of the games. To those of you who haven't...feel free to stop fighting and try to give me an unbiased look at these. More opinions are always helpful. $68 is a lot of money.Rhythmic_

Halo 3- The campaign is boring but it does have a few good things. I personally loved the Tsavo Highway mission. There is some replay value to the campaign, mainly the skulls that unlock armor for MP. I thought the metagame was actually the funnest part of the campaign, I thought it was really fun to do and I still help my friends if they need it. The skulls are pretty fun to use also, especially birthday grunt or whatever its called. The multiplayer, IMO, is fun for a few weeks but then I got bored with it. I played it non stop so I guess that mightve had something to do with it. It may sound like I absolutely hate the game but I actually do like it and I still do play it, but only with friends. I think constricting achievements to free-for-all is really stupid on Bungie's part. Overall, its a good game but try not to play it everyday like I did because then it gets boring.

Call of Duty 4- The campaign is very fun but terribly short. Its also on the easy side aside from veteran, its a pain in the ass on veteran! What really made this game is multiplayer. The achievements are all campaign, which is a bummer at first but once you find out the multiplayer actually offers weapon upgrades and such then it balances out.

Overall, Id much rather play Call of Duty 4 than Halo 3 but you should really buy both cause theyre both fun, I just enjoy CoD4 more than Halo 3.

I think that COD 4 is a great game, in some aspects better than halo 3, like the "create your own type of character" feature.

Halo 3 is good but different :D

Can someone compare a lamb chop and a pork chop for me?

that is like asking to compare halo3 to cod4.

why not compare battlefield 2 to cod4. or perfect dark zero to halo 3.

how can you compare different games to one another?

No, Im not hiding anything. If I was gay or bisexual then I'd say it. Im not scared to say how I am but I can assure you, Im not gay or bisexual.Shade-Blade

ofcourse not, who the hells gonna admit their gay on the internet, you must play me for some halo dumb zombie.

Lol, it would actually be the other way around. You dont know me personally since we're on the internet so why would I be afraid to hide anything while in real life I might be afraid of critism (Spelling?) and rejection so I wouldnt tell you. I know Im straight and I really dont care if you believe me or not.Shade-Blade

These consversations were fun but your starting to bore me so night night, dont let the gay boys bite.

COD4 = good. Halo 3 = Better.jmartinez1983

yessir

COD4 = Great. Halo 3 = Great but not as good.jmartinez1983
