why do you ask? becuase halo is just another shoot and run, not living up to the halo 1 and 2 expectations. gears on the other hand sold over 2 million copys in 1 month + it is not a cheap shoot and run, but it is a hardcore blood and gore shooting game with a sick multiplayer online mode.

I played Halo 3 for 2 straight hours, then got bored and put in Gears of War and I was like HOLY ****!!!!!!!! NEXT- GEN!!!!

The gameplay is 10x better. If Epic could get rid of all the glitches, then I would say that gears is better than Halo 3.

what does selling 2 million copies in a month have to do with anything, halo 3 sold more in its first 24 hours in just north america.

uhm... Halo3 made $300 million in the first week... but what do sales numbers have to do with it?... anyway, I don't know what all this run and gun nonsense is... cause when i'm playing on legendary, it's just stupid to go "run and gun"... you'll find yourself hiding and barely sticking your head out to fire just as much as Gears...if not more.

Okay, I guess you like random trigger pulling more than Run and gun.

You are throwing the selling card ??? WOW here is a Fun Fact: did you know that Halo 3 sold probably twice as that in 1 day. Did you know that It has records on Xbox Live as well. If your going to throw facts, please make sure you know what you are talking about. Gears of War, is a great game but the MP is full of cheaters, and has the worst host advantage. SO No Gears of war is not better than Halo 3, in my opinion

Random trigger pulling...? Are you sure you're playing the game right? Is that why you play that auto-aim arcade shooter called Halo?

And by the way, Gears of War will always have a better score than Halo 3. 9.6 > 9.5. Tee hee, sorry just had to.

I was referring to the shotgun which doesn't require any aiming and is the most used gun in Gears.

how could you even compare halo 3 with gears of war. halo3 is so much better then gears and even though its graphics are not as good as gears still halo 3 has a nice look to it. and the gameplay, gears gets really boring especially mp and its not that fun but halo 3 has really better gameplay and you can do so much more them gears AND YOU CAN DRIVE in mp in halo 3. you cant do that in gears.

foolish boy, gears of war is clearly inferior to halo 3. Yes, Halo 3 didn't make innovative leaps and bounds as an FPS but neither did GoW. What they both attempted to do was to take the bar and raise it as high as they could in terms of graphics, gameplay, and the overall shooter paradigm. That said, Halo 3 has nearly perfected the shooter, taking the FPS to entirely new heights on all fronts, graphically, technically, while GoW had bugs and don't diss halo 3's multiplayer which has amazing funcionality and tons of sick maps and game modes. Just cuz you can use a chain saw and it's overall more macho feel might tickle your man bone more than halo 3 doesn't make it a better game, in the least. need i mention how short the single player campaign was? and if im not mistaken, did GoW even have co-op? what about xbox live co-op? HALO 3 WINS.

Everyone take a deep breathe. heres the simple truth..Halo is a party game, (Smash Bros is a great analogy) Gears is a shooter. Halo has combined run and gun into a satisfying multiplayer experience. Gears has accomplished the same satisfaction with stop and pop. They are both great games and you CANNOT compare the two equally so give it a rest and go play some Gears of Halo3...

When it comes to copys sold dont even begin to pull out numbers because Halo smoked Gears like the first day.Gears of war had alot to offer that whole Bullet lag and 8 players tottal is kinda annoying and the achivements were very dull and boreing once you get them all you dont know what to do.Gears lacked in replay value you really never want to play the campagin more than a couple times and the multiplayer was fun to a certain point.Once i got all the achivements in Gears it was bascily out of my Xbox for good.Halo is that type of game that doesint get old quick.I played halo 2from November 9th till Halo 3 was released.There both great games but overall Halo has the better package IMO.

It's clear to me now that you haven't played much of the online multiplayer on a good connection..or you just need practice. Yes. It has co-op, yes, it has online co-op.

Over a good connection, Gears of War is probably the most technically balanced game I've ever played over the Xbox Live...even though it is team oriented.

Oh please, Gears got so damn stale and unbalanced after awhile it wasn't even funny. The host advantage in that game is so undeniably rigged that any decent player can become god with it. The Boomshot after the update became godly as well. You can be 10 feet away from where it hits and you still get downed.

just listen nothink and i mean nothink will live to the halo experiance, what makes halo different from other first person shooters? ok ill tell ya, there is over 35,000 of campain dialoge, people spent 12+ hours a day testing halo just for AUDIO, all the sounds in halo are better than ANY other game. people even sat there an jumped 15000 times just to see if it breaks/crashes, there was so much effort put into the game.

The transport is so imense compared to any other game just look how many types there are you wont get bored of driving the warthog finding big jumps and doing flips in the banshees.

Halo 3 not living up to Halo1 and Halo2????????????

there was around 6-9 guns in halo 1 and so many less vechicals, and halo 2 the ending was so terrible so if anythink halo3 is by far the best in many ways (not naming all) graphics, audio, multiplayer.

People that think gears of war is better must be on DRUGS. the story was short and well was there actualy a good storyline ? didn't think so, yer i have to agree the multiplayer was amazing but how many people quit the games, bulet lag, glitches, achievement hunters. This just recked the gears of war experiance for me i am afraid.

over all both games are spectacular but halo is just much better because of the time and effort put into the game.

There seems to be two types of people here. Some people love geows mp, and hate halo mp like myself. Halo mp seems pointless and takes little skill. I really hate the multiplayer, I tried to like it but it got old real quick. I went back to geows. Im trading in halo 3, I should have expected it, I hated halo2 mp. The campain and finding the skulls was fun for me.

If you're on the team with the host then yes, it way balance :lol: Please, Gears of War is the most unbalance MP ever. At least if you play rank matches in Halo 3, you get players with similar rank. So at least is fair.

chief_527

No, even with the host on the other team, I was still believing it's balanced, simply because of the way I play. By "balanced," I mean that there's more likelihood that a skilled player on his own can defeat 4 people surrounding him/her and each doing their own thing against him.

I can't explain it well enough with words. I'll just have to post some vids sometime.

And halo3is home to some of the most arrogant idiots who think they are sooo great that when they get killed they must scream and cry and talk about how lucky the shot was or that it was a glitch. Also i like how there is no repercussion to going full auto and that you can just run and kill everything. Halo is for the unskilled.

ok, let me explain....the only reason that halo 3 sold so many copys is because it was part of a huge seires. and it was the last, which is usually the best. but gears was not part of a seires and i bet that gears of war 2 will sell even more then halo 3.

I like halo 3 better, gears SP was ok but i couldn't play the MP cause the lag was so bad, finished the SP once and never thought of playing through it again at higher difficulties, some of the parts in gears campaign were really bad, like the part were you drive that car thing, or should i say a lighting and physics demo?

I can't return to gears, It's glitchy, laggy and lacks variety.

It takes less skill to win a match as well.

You are saying that like gears is not full of those people either. If i'm hosting a match in gears I can win as well.

I agree, i thought the game was fun though, the graphics are great but boring, but there are things about the campaign that i thought were extremely bad, i thought that boss battle with that huge spider thing was crap, it was just a pattern that you repeat over and over, and that huge creature, that was in the trailer and was listed down in the manual, even though you only see it for about 20sec in the game. There is no variety in the combat, iv also never played an xbl match of gears that was actually playable, and don't blame my Internet connection, because this is the only game i have trouble with.

Why argue which is better? Both are awesome. They make me proud to be a 360 owner.

Personally i prefer Gears, it's single player was great even if it was short, and the multiplayer was pretty good too. Halo is fun all round, but lacked challenge (yes i have played through the story on legendary).

chief_527

Agreed. I like both games a lot, but I like Halo a lot more. Besides people trying to throw the "selling card," let's also look at gameplay. Halo has like 3 times as many MP modes as Gears(I think, I haven't messed with all of Gears modes). When it comes to MP, Halo is NOT run and gun if you're a good player. You will learn how to make use of different weapons' capabilites and learn how to use the items such as the bubble shield, personal shield, etc. Gears, IMO, is hide, shoot, repeat. I didn't think it was as "deep" as people claim it to be. That's just my opinion.

gears is probally the most AVERAGE overated game I've played in the last five years. halo3 is pure gaming bliss on every level. I can't even fanthom how someone would find gears to be a better game, let alone a game that merits 9s and 10s from major review sources. biggest 7.5 pile of rubbish ever.

I prefer gears. I haven't played Halo 3 for more than a week. Both are great 360exclusives
