Gears or Halo 3?

I am not sure if this is already been done, but whats your pick, everyones saying Halo 3 is better when the Gamespot score was 9.5 and User score was 9.0 while Gears of war was 9.6 and 9.4, So take your pick, I say Gears, but Halo a very very close second.

Gears of War. Easily.

Halo 3. The game should have gotten a 7 if it were not for the theatre and forge editer. Otherwise, average shooter.

Gameplay : Gears of War

Story : Gears of War

Graphics : Gears of War

Multiplayer : I'd have to say Gears of War because it's just so much more fun and there's really nothing else quite like it on the Xbox 360.

I would say Halo 3 on multiplayer, So many people like gears better, says diffrent in most of the boards.

I said Gears of War because Halo 3 had an absolutely horrible story too. Plus I just like the characters from Gears of War more then the characters from Halo.

A mass invasion of Locusts invading Earth. Like that concept hasn't been done before... :roll:. As for multiplayer, I agree with you that there really isn't anything like it. Host advantage, blind fire shotgun, boomshot spammers, oh yeah, keep the bad times rolling. BTW, I'm not defending Halo 3 because it certainly has it's flaws. I'm just stating that too many people overlook a game's flaws and deem it perfect game. Everyone has their opinions, but all the yellow journalism is really starting to get to me.

Host advantage is really the biggest fault of Gears of War. Blind firing a shotgun is an effective tactic whenever an enemy is close to you. It's kind of the common sense thing to do instead of making yourself move much slower just so you can aim a weapon that's so inaccurate and nearly useless to aim anyway.

Boomshot can be dealt with if you know what you are doing. Hell, I don't even know what you mean by Boomshot spammers. I never encountered any of them.

Like I said. Gears has a one of a kind multiplayer experience. It's supposed "flaws" are just characteristics that help seperate it from the norm. Flaws would be things like games being dropped all the time, the game constantly freezing, or horrible hit detection. Players not aiming a shotgun isn't a flaw.

Horrible hit detection, hmm, shoot a guy in the foot with an active reload and he goes down, nah, never happened to me...

gears has the best graphics i've ever seen, but i was bored of it after a week. halo 3, on the other hand will keep me playing online for a good few months yet, so halo 3 gets my vote.

Buy Halo 3 now, and buy Gears once it inevitably hits the $30 platinum price. Buying Gears now for $60 is incredibly stupid.

But overall, Gears is the better game.

50 percent for both now.

A lot of people might say Halo 3 just for the fact that Gears has been out for a while. I have to say Gears IMO, that game shocked the hell out of me the first time I played it.Yng-ePIc

gears of war did give me that "wow" impression, but after that shock .... i would still have to pick halo 3 b/c of its awesome multi

i dont understand why all FPS doesnt have that Matchmaking option like it does on Halo 2/3? this kills alot of bad host ... Gears of War and R6VEgas need matchmaking option

... and i think u should add R6Vegas as one of the option

OK, GOW Is a third person game its totally different to Halo 3. And i think that GOW & Halo 3 ar ground breaking games.

Nothing like doing the same. exact. shotgun battle. over. and over.

Halo 3 is way better imo. I thought GeoW was one of the most overrated games ever.BioShockOwnz

Gameplay:

i played both and Halo 3 kept me on for hours and hours..

Gears of war i stopped after a while...

Graphics: Gears of war looks very good but in Halo 3 there were time i just zoomed in on characted and admired the detail.

Story: Didnt actually finish either but i was more interested in Halo's cause there the whole build up and What the hell factor..

Halo's multiplayer and longetivity also wins..

i just cant see how it isnt better IMO!

I love and appreciate both of the games but I'm going to have to go with Halo 3, it's just more my kind of thing.

I prefer to run around large maps blasting banshees out of the sky or zipping around on mongooses in comparison to hiding around corners and shotgunning folk.

I do prefer Gears of Wars art direction though. It's darker and grittier. Feels a tad more real in a way. The art is more me. I just prefer the gameplay of Halo.

I would go with Gears for single player campaign. but halo 3 multiplayer.

they are both great games though.

Wil you guys and gals please stop posting boards like these? All it leads to is argueing.BIGJosher

BTW i choose gears because it is much more fun than generic halo 3 (though it is still fun when you play with friends too)

Halo 3

Gears is a much better game in every aspect. hands down.

Halo 3 is a typical FPS. not impressed at all. the fact that it got anything above a 8.5 is crazy..

If i wanted a goodmultiplayer experience and cant play gears i would rather play unreal.

do you like tons of wierd glitches, awful bullet lag, bad connections, repetition on the same map, and extreme host advantage? check out Gears of War today!

honestly, halo 3 is ahead by miles. gears blows.

If u have ever played the game you would know its much more than that. Firstly Locust lived on earth(Sera) wayy before the humans came they lived underground and finally came up on "emergence day". And as for your comment on the multi. its noobs like you that make the game soo annoying they come into a room and say STOP CHAINSAWING or STop Using Boomshot. Seriously why dont you get to the boomshot first or cover it with a lancer so that the other guy cant get it. People get killed and blame their lack of skill on the game itself.

omg how can you ppl say gears? possibly the most boring tech demo in the history of mankind. and its mp sucked ass.

and yes, i know i gave it a high score, but it was mostly cuz i had no great games to compare it to, aka halo 3 and bioshock.
