Both are incredible games IMO, though they are very different:
VEGAS:
RSV is a much slower paced shooter. It takes a lot more thought and planning to win a RS match. You have less chance of killing someone with the "spray and pray" technique than in CoD4. Also, the cover system alone completely differentiates the two games. I find myself communicating with my team WAY more in RS than in CoD, because that's what it takes to win. I also move a lot slower through the levels being way more cautious and I tend to camp more in RS.
CoD4:
Call of Duty is much more run and gun. Whereas my style in Rainbow Six is to hang back or move very slowly, CoD4 for me is all about constant and quick flanking maneuvers. I am almost constantly sprinting to get behind the other team or skirting the outside of the map. I am very run-and-gun in CoD, usually to great success (2.25 k/d ratio, over 4000 kills so far). I also tend to operate much more independently in CoD4 when in RS I relied more on my team and communication.
In conclusion, they are just very different games. I love that both share a similar health system and that it is very easy to take someone down with a few well placed shots, but it's hard to say that one is better than the other. Your play style should really determine which game you choose.
