Go back to system wars Metallicafan

I'd pick Halo simply for the MP but of course anyone with a 360 and a brain would buy both

myself, ive always liked gears. simply because gears of war is tactical and it takes a brain to play, on the other hand where we have halo where you charge at eachother with assault rifles and its pretty much whose going to hit melee first cuz thats where the fight ends. the game is pure luck.

im sorry man,but i played em both,and they do suck,im just sayin play a real fun game,ssbb,u will thank memetallicafan14

I have SSBB it's a great game but it's not as fun as those two games. Anyway i'd choose Halo 3 i've been a fan since the first and i've played all of the halo games. Just matters what i'm in the mood for the bloodiness of gears is just so amazing!

Gears of War by a longshot....I played the game continuously for days on end, but with Halo 3 I'm lucky to get 3 hours in without being bored of it. Gears also has a better single player and is much more intense.

I gotta go with Gears. I actually enjoy the MP more in Gears than in H3. I don't know it just seems to take more skill. GoW isn't as n00b friendly.

But that also has to do with host advantage and bullet lag, it takes a lot of time to get the feel for it.

Never had a problem with Host advantage and never was host.

Halo has better multiplayer off and online. Gears has the best graphics in terms of blood and gore. But even with all that awesome blood, I'd have to say Halo 3.

Graphics- Tie (Gears- characters..shiny. Halo- texutes, environments, water physics)

Gameplay- Gears

Multiplayer- Gears (it just feels way more satisfying to snipe someone in gears rather than halo, and the whole "revive your team mates" is pretty awsome.

Sound- Gears (the sounds the locust make are sick)

Characters- Halo

Weapons- Halo (a lot of variety)

Vehicles- Halo (obviously)

Overall- Although the two games are neck and neck with a lot of the features (imo) Gears has a slight edge due to its MP and "pretty looks".

If a gun was pointed at my head and I had to chose one I would go with Gears of Halo obviously. J/K

Too close for me to pick. Just depends on what I feel like that day

Why is there always a war between which of these games's the best(COD 4,Gears and Halo 3),the 3 are very good,anybody who like shooters and wants a good online experience would buy the three.Anyways,the 3 have a mark of 9 and higher,so they are all very good games.Stop comparing it.

For online play Halo is better because in Gears of War when you die you have to wait for everyone else to die, and it's extremely hard to aim.

CBKING1

gears of war doesnt take a brain to play, it takes LUCK. AND ONLY LUCK.

shotgun x factor says HI.

crabwalking says hi.

sniper active reload says hi.

host advantage says hi.

if your 4 friends i listed were fixed, then i could say gears takes a brain, and was a tactical multiplayer experience. but in reality, all gears multiplayer is, is active reload snipers downing everyone, shotgun dances until someone gets a lucky shot, and an invincible host with bullets that hit the way they are intended, and all clients with rubber bullets.

anyone that calls gears "tactical" needs to play gears more online.

your an idiot in gears if you just rush in. halo if you rush in and get hit then youll be like "ok it doesnt make much of a difference" in gears of war you cant cuz it will change the whole game the second somebody gets killed. and yes halo is luck because if it wasnt then the game would be more than a bunch of people jumping and using melee. now tell me im wrong but what percentage of deaths come from a melee in that game? try 99%

This is like comparing apples and oranges, sure they are both fruit, but they are so different. Gears is a tactical 3rd person shooter, Halo 3 is a run and gun first person shooter. gears has halo beat in every aspect except matchmaking imo. I still play gears all the time, it is an amazing game. I hate run and gun shooters because they have no strategy, so i hate halo. The only thing i liked about halo was that it had good matchmaking.

Halo 3 is not 99% melee. Considering how many different types of weapons there are, you can go through the entire game not meleeing anyone at all. Sniper rifle, battle rifle, rocket launcher, missle pod, laser, turrets, covenant beam weapon, carbine, and etc, you never have to melee anyone. It's all in how you play the game. You don't have to treat it like a run and gun shooter if you don't want to and you can make it more tactical if you want to. Those are typically the more successful players anyways. I looked at my character stats on Bungie's website and calculated my total melee percentage and it's only 19% so your claims are totally false. Try backing up what you say with some actual data next time and someone may actually believe you. lol. :)

you really must be an idiot if you think i really mean 99% but yeah it does happen majority of the time. the game is square off with somebody run at him and whoever hits B 1st is your winner.

You obviously didn't read the rest of my post, huh? You said most of the time and I said 20% so who's really the idiot? I also said you don't have to play the game that way if you don't want to. There's plenty of long range tactical weapons at your disposal and there's even some game types that focus on those weapons specifically, wow! AGAIN, it's all in how you play the game. Also, it's not whoever hits melee first. If you read one of Bungie's updates (go look it up for yourself because I'm not about to do your research for you and I already know what I'm talking about), you'll find out that they tweaked the melee aspect of Halo 3 to make it more fair. If both players involved are close to the same amount of remaining health, BOTH of them die. Only if there's a large margin of a health difference is one of them still left standing. Next time better educate yourself before you spout off. That way you don't look like an idiot.

They fixed the melee.. Not to mention not all people charge and melee people. That's like saying all people do in Gears is run around chainsawing people.

You're welcome i just don't like it when people say all people do is melee. I rarely melee i prefer medium and long range fighting in halo. I avoid getting extremely close cause it gets boring running around in circles trying to hit the guy lol.

wow. thats all i gotta say. yeah i read ur post and u said, o know gaylo doesnt involve alot of meleeing and its tactical if you make it that way. yeah sure ur melee percentage might be low, but thats 1. i stopped playing the game because it was stupid, and i no, im not a run and gunner. also the fact you can run out into the battlefeild with a sniper that shoots crazy fast, and for the most part, you dont even need to scope. because thats snipers act. WRONG!

and for you run and gunners, you guys wouldnt get owned by an active reload if you took cover, thats why gears made that cover system, a little more realistic dont you think? last time i checked, somebody should be dead from 1 sniper shot. yeah i know it takes 2 in gears but when getting ready for the second shot, their at least on their knees. that makes a hell of a lot more sense than getting shot then jumping in the air 50 feet.

CBKING1
first of all, it automatically zooms out when you get hit so you actually have a chance to fight back. second, bungie didnt make halo to be realistic, they made it to be fun, which millions of people think it is. third, last time i checked, spartans have shields, so they wouldnt die in one shot. also, you just contredicted (not sure if i spelled that right) yourself because you were complaining about the sniper shooting too fast, yet you complain that its not realistic because you dont die in one shot. and in real life a sniper shoots about as fast as the sniper in halo, so in that aspect halo is more realistic. so dont even try to talk about realism in gears. its just as unrealistic as halo.
