My prediction is that Gears of War (GoW) mulitplayer will undermind Halo 3 online. The raw intensitly found on GoW online cannot be duplicated in Halo. We are being feed with true next gen game play that when the time comes to play Halo it will feel as though we jump down from the high bar set by GoW.Dogmatic923you put "feed" its supposed to be fed.

Dude, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but by the time Halo 3 is released Gears of War will be a mere afterthought!!! Oh and also by that time EPIC will be unleashing its true compettitor for Halo 3 online...Unreal Tournament 3!! Gears time in the sun will come and go!!!
you mean the raw simplicity of gears?
Gears has hardly any weapons and the gameplay gets old fast.
Nice graphics tho.
Halo 3 will PWN
I like Gears of War online a bit better, but I think they are a little less comparable.
Why don't you all stop correcting his little mistakes? wanker12, if you wanted to be corrected, it's "I" not "i". Don't be trying to throw in crap. Same with Jose. What he is saying is understandable.
Oh and besides the fact that Halo 3 and Unreal Tournament 3 will both SMOKE Gears online, GoW isnt even the best 360 online shooter out right now. R6 Vegas OWNS Gears online!!!!! GoW online is lame!! 4 Vs 4...Cramped maps, limited weapons, no respawns and lame/same game modes. Dont talk to me about skill either. GoW is all about who has the most ammo and who switches to the shotgun the fastes at close range! Most rounds in GoW are over in what?? 47 seconds?!! LMAO? Gears online is waaayyyy overrated!!!! kungfuchaosI am not sure what matches you have played in, but you obviously have no idea. I do agree with the lack of game modes.
I can't believe you would even post that. Are you high or something gears of war isn't even intense online you hide behind rock wall and blown up cars untill some one chainsaws you or you run out in the open to reveal your position and get shot Halo 3 kicks gears of war's ass already and it's not even out yet
dude you're too much of a blind follower how can you say that if it's not even outI can't believe you would even post that. Are you high or something gears of war isn't even intense online you hide behind rock wall and blown up cars untill some one chainsaws you or you run out in the open to reveal your position and get shot Halo 3 kicks gears of war's ass already and it's not even out yet

Geow is not as good online as halo. nowhere near as good. but its not bad just not good.baronOdoomWell GEOW must be doing something right if it has more people onine than halo2, don't you think?
I think GoW is a great game and all but it's nothing when compared to Halo. Halo's multiplayer is very fast paced and it seems there's nothing that's wrong with it, besides the occasional modder but that's very rare now. I think Halo 3 is going to completely redefine next gen mulitiplayer as we know it, kx6593
more people play halo 2 than gears....WOW, don't quote figures out your butt my friend. If you do a little research, even here on GS, you'll see that MS already stated that GeOW is already the new live online king. It's really not cool to state lies you know.
and dont say "well most people that still play halo 2 have dont have a 360." not so. ask people online and 95% will say yeah im on a 360.
so i think halo 3 will have more people play than gears.
i dont really care...because H3 will be more fun for me. i like nonstop action and gears doesnt do that for me. i like being able to play a round instead of wait for everyone to die...gears doesnt do that for me.

Yeah, GeOW past a game that has been number one with people online for two years was passed. Great accomplishment considering how if you add the total hours played Halo 2 compared to hours played on gears it wouldn't be close.

I totally disagree. Halo2 ran XBL for a year until Gears, and that was a xbox game...what makes u think that Bungie wont improve already on what was such a great multiplayer game? Dont get me wrong Gears is fun too, but it is goin to be old by time Halo3 hits. U must be crazy to think that Gears will hinder Halo3s online... This is Halo man, this aint ur average.
Gears of War online sucks big time, there nothing specail, 5 weapons, 3 game modes which all seem to be the same, raylewisnfl52Its not about the weapons, its about the gameplay. Granted, the weakest link the GoW giant is its lack of modes. However, the pure essence of the game makes up for it and will decry Halo 3 in the final analysis
the fact that you would post such an ignorant statement needs addressing.
and, No. GeOW will not beat out Halo 3 online. Between little if any new content scheduled to blatant host advantage, it will slowly but surely die until Halo 3 hits and everyone will be playing that.
that being said, it did it's job. it boosted xbox live accounts by some odd million and helped moved many 360s. good for them. it's just not a game that people will be playing 1 year from now (i mean population wise), especially when you consider their competition.

umm Gear will not be an afterthought.......
gow and halo are two different ganeras, and dont bother fixing me and plus halo 3 not out yet. all you guys wanna put down gears of war but 3 milliion people can not be wrong. noone knows what halo 3 will be like and rainbow six is a great game. You people must understand its like comparing blazing angels to halo there different geras. I like gears and halo and call and rainbow and i have all of them. So just enjoy the games you like and leave alone the games you dont.montynana
it's genres not ganeras...i think that is what you meant
I bet all of you that come November 2007 you will ALL have Halo 3 and GOW will be on your shelf. Gears is fun. It is not that fun to play for a year. ESPECIALLY with all the good games coming out.
You know what the really funny thing about Halo 2 was? That it was rushed. The multiplayer was thrown together pretty quickly, as reported by many people at Bungie. Heck, one of the employees even said he refused to play halo2 mp because he saw all the wasted potential. Yet it still remains one of the most played XBL games and has been for years. Halo 3 on the other hand isn't being rushed. They're taking their sweet time on this game, and I'm glad. I want them to make the last game in the series as close to perfection as they possibly can. SeraphimRequiemwell other than halo2 could you really think of any other better online game for xbox than it that is why they don't have choice now unreal is on the way with GOW and UNREAL tournament UBISOFT is competing with it's games and then you still have the CODs and the Medal of Honors
Rainbow6 vegas is better than both those games (halo2&GoW) you get a ranking system that lets you unlock things so you feel as if you are accomplishing something and its fun to work hard and be able to carry and use weapons or clothing that someone else cant because they havent put in the time you have!!! in my opinion and yes its only my opinion Gears and Halo need to catch up!!!!!!
