When fan boys attack. After playing gears at my friends for the first time i noticed that the "veterans" were always the hugest *****s on earth. As for halo 3 it's mostly kids who are more bearable. I'd go with gears though because it's bloodier and has a lot of really cool matches. But in terms of replaying multiplayer a lot i'd go with Halo 3 because there's much more to do. Well we all know this thread will be filled with "halos ta dmberest games on earf" posts.

I had MUCH more fun with Gears of War compared to Halo 3, but I'm not going to play either of them ever again.

Gears, no contest. Halo is nothing compared to the almighty gears of war.

Wow, was that a boring pile of crap to read. The better is Halo 1 the other Halo games are trash and Gears still can't live up to the hype. Your poll makes me yawn.

Only mistake I could point out in the article is that - if you'd read through carefully for the backstory on gears - it does not take place on Earth. It was just the first planet like earth that humanity colonized. Only it turned out to already be inhabited by the Locusts.

Yeah that "article" was total Bologna/Baloney(still dont know how its spelled). The arguments stunk and They both just resorted to bashing the other side. I am more of a Halo fan(check out my blog-COD4 vs. Halo 3 and you can see my reasoning) mainly due to awesome customizability in matches and Forge. If you want to see my article just check out my blog.

BTW people who Bump their own threads are completely LAME.... :P

Gears is just getting started. Halo is done (and good riddance). Gears enjoys a much better campaign than any of the Halo games; even you cannot deny that.

I personally thought Gears was awful. No aiming reticle unless you hold down the aim button, meaning Marcus takes up even more of the screen. Constantly repetitive battles, horribly dull scenes, paper thin plot, cliche "badass" characters.

Halo has flaws, but to me it's miles better than Gears. Looks better in terms of the visuals and use of colour, plays a lot smoother, better mix of gameplay elements, more interesting story (if a tad generic, but at least it HAS a story), a lead character that has a valid reason for seeming to be thin and without backstory, i.e a design choice.

Definitely Gears. Why? I can still see Marcus Fenix, rather than living in a Master Chief helmet.

Going with gears. Halo 3 seems boring now with all the more advanced and realistic shooters coming alive now in days.

i didnt think halo 3 was that good, i enjoyed halo 2 much more (i voted for gears) i thought halo 3 was ruined by the assualt rifle, its way to easy to use, i know they were trying to make the game more accesible but after playing a game like COD4 then coming back to halo3 its all way to easy, especially the sniper

Same for me, if Bungie would have just made the level of smaller like aize of COD4 or like Orange box of 360and not have emphasized on making huge draw distance and spending a lot of algortihm on cloud which were not textures and where volumetric they could have easily got more Polygons and hyper detailed textures in their game and that would have been more than enough for me. Hopefully DLC2 bungie is changing their traditional way and giving their maps more polygons and textures and making it smaller to make it intense.

Halo...

I don't really like shooters, but Gears is more repetitive than Halo, IMO.

I love both games, but if I had to pick, I would go green.

Maybe GoW 2 will change my opinion...

Halo 3 doesn't take thought. It takes dumping bullets and grenades at your opponent, and smashing them with your gun does more damage than a bullet to the face. Gears takes thought, it is harder to play. I can play Halo 3 when I'm almost asleep at 2 in the morning, because it's easy. I can't do that with gears, because I need to THINK about what I do, and at 2 in the morning, that's impossible.

Halo 1 kicks the **** out of gears, you have to remember what it was like back then, not just now. Yea Halo 2 had a pretty lame SP, but it also had one of the best Mp's of all time. Halo and Gears have equil coop in my mind, and weapons no contest. The Hammer is useless in Mp and the chainsaw accomodates a sub-par AR. Plus Halo has way more weapons. Halo 1's story kicksthe **** out og Gears' story, mabe not 2, and 3 but def 1. Just cause halo 3 is not a super god online game does not make the series bad. Your just forgeting what it was like back THEN you know when Halo first came out:roll: there is nothing you can say to change my mind.

Gears of War is better for me but I never really experienced Halo 1 and 2 because I never owned an Xbox.

Halo 3 was good fun but it just got boring while I played Gears for an entire year and still enjoyed it and still do (over a year)

However, driving around in Ghosts and Warthogs are so much fun.

Gears all the way. Halo 3 kept me hooked for about a month but I just keep coming back to gears. It seems most of the people that don't like gears try to diss it because they suck and can't pop a dome with the sniper. I like both but epic just brought an all-around better game to the dinner table.
