You know i am too thinking off going and getting Gears agian because mine broke about a year ago. It is such a fun game and I lost so many friends because i couldn't play with them anymore. I think im going to go buy it.

COD4. Gears of war is overrated and the multiplayer gets old real fast.

Recommendation sticky, darnit! Argh. I will all ways complain about this, however I will all ways answer the question. Just ignore this. Actually, don't. Use the sticky.

Anyways, if you play on LIVE, probably Call of Duty 4 as I believe it holds the number one spot for most played LIVE game unless it's on Halo 3's tail. If not, probably Gears of War since a second one will be coming soon so you will probably want to play through the single player to learn as much of the story as you can.

Sorry, I misread the post and thought you said you had not played them.

Anyways, if you have LIVE and you're missing Gears of War so much, why not just rent it and play it for a few days. Then you wont actually have to buy it, but you wont have the urge to play it anymore.

Buy CoD rent GoW, gears has an amazing single player but you could finish it in a week, and CoD has a much better multi-player.

there is no right or wrong answer both games are exceptional. Having played both extensively, I find that it depends on the mood. For some reason I find the GoW multiplayer to be more staisfying than CoD. What I mean is that in a 1vs1 situation in GoW the kill is so much more staisfying and my heart starts rushing a lot more than when it's 1vs1 in Cod. For some reason every kill is just morre satisfying especially the headshot. However If you like a more hectic game Cod is your choice when compared to a more slow paced GoW multiplayer.

gears is definatly better in my opinion and against what alot of people say the multiplayer does NOT get old quickly. Its just that it is harder to find ranked matches now(i dont know if that matters to you) and there are so many more people playing cod4. cod4 has a fun campaign that is around as long as gears of war, but gears offers co-op mode which makes beating it on its hardest setting a little more managable with a friend(if you play multiplayer alot on each game, the experience will definatly benefit you more during gears of war's campaign compared to cod4) honestly if you want easy availabilty of games without too many crazy awesome 10 year olds(i've noticed after trying to play gears 4 months after i quit it impossible because so many people you play are too good) then get cod4 but if you want awesome gore(chainsaw lancer anyone?) and good co-op go with gears.

COD4 just a personal preference, both are good though! If you can hack it, try to eventually have both.

It is the number 4 ranked game weekly on the top 10 live games, that is not dead.

Perspmally Gears is the one ame I can always go back to no matter what, CoD4 is great to though.

I couldn't agree more. If I ever get sick of playing a game (i.e. CoD4 or Halo 3), I know Gears will be there waiting for me, with fun and addicting gameplay (minus the lag/glitches).

While Both are overrated in some way.

COD 4 is fantastic, its just not that god among games its been made out to be.

Gears on the other hand was severly lacking in some areas. THe gameplay was fun and the MP was addicting. But the single player was average and a garbage story. COOP was fun though.

The MP was very limited and got extremley repetitive. On top of that its broken.

Personally I felt its the most overrated 360 game. Deserves AAA, but nothing more than a 9.0 really.

COD 4 on the other hand is an awesome game IMO.

The multiplayer on gears of war isnt dead at all.. you can always find a game. only thing that annoys me about it is that when you get into a game and you get kicked for no reason you dont even play yet.. but gears > cod4

Gears of war boasts a FAR better multiplayer than COD 4 could ever muster. I love getting killed when unable to move as I'm picking up one of the good weapons in cutscene fashion. Then I get to bleed out for a while on my knees while guys throw smoke and dance around swinging grenades like f@ggots. Finally, I can sit back and enjoy the death lobby, contemplating my mistake of having wanted to pick up one of the only weapons that makes gears of war fun. Once I'm back in the game I can relish a few of the finer aspects of gears of war: fantastic shotgun lag where two rivals are circling around each other, unable to kill their opponent; delightful fellows who run around while crouched and somehow fire the shotgun during this time; getting chainsaw glitched so you are immediatedly chainsawed to death as soon as someone touchs their revved up shotgun to you; An innate advantage given to the host making him a better player in every regard; The wide variety of ways in which a round can play out when both teams start at exactly the same point on opposite sides of the map each and every time; or even having the last survivor on their team hide in the geometry behind the level until time expires. Of course, I can never get enough of getting pistol meleed and standing stunned until the second inevitable pistol meleeing gets thrown down. Even the gears of war matchmaking system is flawless by comparison to COD 4 or Halo. Fantastic game, fantastic.

It's kind of hard considering I own both games and I still play them alot.

I guess I'll go with Gears.
