Okay I just purchased my xbox 360 yesterday and I need a game until DIRT comes. And of course, i have a free month of Gold membership and I intend to use this for multiplayer. So my question is, COD 3 or Gears of War? I've never played COD 3 but I have played COD 1 and 2. Gears of War, well I have played Single player and with my brother co-op 3 times through the game, but never online..

Got no clue on which to get:?

As stated, Gears of War with friends online is great, 4v4 isn't bad, but it is obviously nowhere near the scale of 24 or 12v12 as with CoD3. They're both great. For now though, I'd say...toss up. HA.

It depends. If you like being able to respawn and fast paced multiplayer, go for COD3. If you prefer a slower shooter thats pretty intense, and you only have life per round (in Gears, thats a good thing) gor for gow.

If you've played CoD 1 and 2, 3 might be worth a try. But it's basically the same style of play with a few upgrades. It's actually quite a good deal of fun online, but still, it's nothing really different.

Gears is also pretty good, but what experience I've had when I tried online out at my friend's place made me want to stick with LAN instead.

Gears was a let down for me, seems like the sorta game you should be running between cover shooting when poss, having shoot offs, tactical gameplay. Instead everyone just runs with shotguns and charges for the snipers liek yeah!!11111

I'd personally go with COD 3, you have a lot of soldier options, and it's tons of fun to call in an artillery strike on your friends

I think GeoW multiplayer is very bad, so it defaults to COD.
