OK so I can get 1 game today and I haven't played both yet. Which 1 should i get?

I kind of wanna get Gears since Gears 2 is coming out kinda soon, so i wanna play through it before that

but I'm thinking I'll prolly get more play time/enjoyment out of Halo 3 because of the online portion.

I never really played Halo online even tho I beat the first 2 but everybody says its awesome, so I dont know what to do if its close to as fun as COD4 than thats prolly the better choice right

Cuz i think I'll play Gears for the single player and not play much of multi. I also heard Gears single campaign isnt that long anyway. And I'll probably still get it within the next couple months before Gears 2

So what would you do?

Get Halo if you want mulitplayer, I couldn't get into Gears' multiplayer. Gears is a rent to just play through it once (or 3 times for achievements).

Get Gears of War. I have both, and I personally like the story and multiplayer better in Gears. If you plan on getting Gears of War 2, then you definitely want Gears 1. Plus, you already have the best FPS anyway, so you'd probably be disappointed in Halo 3. Gears of War is fresh and unique. Get it, play through the storyline first, maybe do a little co-op, then jump into multiplayer and practice for Gears of War 2.

Get Gears of War, its much higher quality, and Halo 3 has a bad single player. The multiplayer in Halo 3 is great, but the pros of Gears of War outweigh it. Plus Gears of War has a pretty spiffy multiplayer if you ask me.

GOW for sure. I actually got Halo 3 with my xbox and thought it was great, if not short on single player. Picked up GOW later preowned and it was much better, played it through on my own and coop with my mate.

Thing is, I'm 99.9% sure I'll get it before Gears 2 anyway. So I will play it before it comes out.

And I'm thinking maybe in the mean time I'll have more game time out of Halo 3 online, since ive played cod4 to death and i want something a little different to play online

even tho I also really wanna play through Gears, but I know i'll do that before launch of 2 anyway

you should get Halo 3 cause you already beat 1 & 2 so you night aswell finish tyhe story. The MP is very good and with new maps, forge, and all that stuff you could keep your self occupied till Gears 2, and still have fun playing it after Gears 2 comes out. Rent Gears 1 for the story so your not lost in Gears 2 campaign, ands since Gears 2 is coming out soon there is no reason to buy the game cause it will start to collect dust in 5 months after Gears 2 comes out in 4 months. Both are great games and I bought both on their release dates and still play both a lot so i am not bias on on side. I am just telling you which one would last longer in the long haul.

With Gears 2 coming out soon, I would say buy Halo 3, and then rent GoW for the story, and maybe play a little bit of multi as well. Gears will be just sitting on your shelf once you get Gears 2, so buy Halo 3, rent Gears for the story, and then wait for Gears 2 to come out, and buy that.

Gears of War is just plain amazing, and if you are planning to buy the second one, I would go with that.

Well, to be honest, if you were to ask me a little while back, I would say Gears Of War hands down... but, Gears is getting old and many people still play Halo 3. It is weird for me to say get Halo 3, because Gears Of War is my favorite game of all time... But I say get Halo 3, then rent Gears 1, then when you love Gears 1, go pre-order Gears 2.

I don't really like Halo 3, but it would make more sense to get it over gears of war? Why? Well, Gears of War 2 is coming out relatively soon, which will probably be better than the orginial and replace it as well. Additionally, halo 3 will never die. There will be a huge fan base until the end of the 360, so you'll never have a hard time finding a game online.

You have a master chief avatar and you're talking about how much better Gears is than Halo. What up with that? :S
