What I mean by 2nd is that you have other shooter that you rateher play, such as in my case. My first now is TF2, then COD4 ONLINE, and Halo 3. so discuss

If you project which game in the long run is going to be first it is always going to be Halo 3. TF2 is a shooter for someone who downs 5 red bulls within an hour and I hae not given the COD4 online a play yet but if it is like COD2 then thanks but no thanks.

in my honest opinion, cod4 will last a lot longer than halo 3. tf2 is also a lot of fun but its not everyones cup of tea

Which game is going to move consoles? When COD4 gets breaks the record for Xbox Live players like GoW and H2 and H3 have done then I believe you but I still think it does not have a chance.

That one way of looking at it if you are a Halo freak, but I was talking about in a personal level. Among my friends list no one plays halo anymore and the reason was it got old. But they are all addicted to Cod4 which is good but its sometimes to fast and bs to me.

No way. Halo 3 moves consoles like crazy. It's the reason some of my friends and I got our 360s. I sold my PS3 to buy one. Plus, there's no way that someone is gonna switch consoles for COD4 because it's on both 360 and PS3. So, I say no.

Halo 3 will "officially" be the most succsessful shooter for the 360, but this is only becuase there was so much advertising, promotion, and just hype around the game. Also, they made it so its easy to pick up and play, making it playable by a wider audience. Lastly, the hundreds of thousands of people who played halo 1 and halo 2 online or w/e most likely moved over.

But the bigger picture is, even though Halo 3 has the highest amount of people online, and has other records, its still not a "better" gamer than COD4.

In 1 week i got bored of Halo 3 and started to play COD4 full time, and i have not stopped.

Although I think COD4 is a better multiplayer game, to be honest, there's no way it lasts longer than Halo 3. All you have to do is look at Halo 2. Halo 3 is better in just about every way, so I see it as something people will be playing backwards-compatible style on the next Xbox, just like Halo 2.

yes, you are right, they are going to play halo 3 on the next xbox, and think its pretty sad. COD2 lasted about a year, then Gears came along and everyone was playing that. but i still believe in every way COD4 is a better game but it doesnt get the recognition it deserves, heck even the COD series in general i like better than halo.

I think that CoD4 and Halo 3 both have good features, on one hand halo has all the fun of co op and a great campaign and a theater feature to save films, and forge, and basically Ihave alwayshadmore fun playing halo with friends or random people than COD any day. On the other hand Cod4 has a very great single player, an addicting multi-player and customizable characters. Still all said halo 3 will never get to old that you cant have fun while playing it, while COD4 has slowly died for me, I have been sick to death of poor hit detection and bad lag and connection.... Yeah halo is not as realistic but it sure is better in keeping a smooth game, something that COD4 failed at..... and no I am not a halo freak, just some one that is stating facts on my personal opinion

1 million unique players every day disagree Blitz.

@ Haphilli - The online play for CoD4 should make Infinity Ward feel ashamed for themselves compared to CoD2.

Sorry, but Halo 3 is the number one shooter. It's the one game that will actually still have an online community 5 years down the road. Sure, there are probably other games with better gameplay, but those will eventually die out. Rainbow Six Vegas is still my favorite online shooter, but lately it sucks because no one plays it anymore. Halo will never encounter that situation, so it is and probably will be the number one shooter for the lifetime of the 360 (unless another halo game comes out)

If more people are playing Halo 3 over Cod4 then I just feel sorry for the people who are missing out. Although there is still the fact that we are going to get CoD5 next year, and then CoD6 in '09. So to say CoD4 will last longer that Halo 3 is a stretch. By the time we get CoD6, people will be sick of Halo 3, mark my words.

Well I don't think that CoD4 will last until we see CoD6, so there is going to have to be something there to fill the gap for the CoD4 players otherwise people may start going back to Halo 3 assuming it's still getting content by that point.

Considering CoD4 has roughly 1/4 to 1/8 the amount of players compared to Halo 3 at various points during the day I think CoD4 is going to run out of people who still play long before Halo 3. Plus DLC for Halo 3 will be coming out for years. Even IF CoD4 has DLC it will stop after CoD5 comes out next fall,

Is it really comming out next year? Beause if it is, whats the point of buying, when the sucessor of the game is likely out in a 12-16 month span? I'm planning on purchasing Call Of Duty 4. However I'm not sure if its worth it.

I have put so much time into Halo 3 and 2 that I find it hard to get into other ones since on those I am not so good. I like COD 4 but I get owned because I don't know the maps and such so I go back to halo. I played ShadowRun for awhile because at least I can be a healer but then back to halo. I WAS hoping more for TF2 but I find it too simple and not that fun. I prob should give all the other games a chance and prob will eventualy. The only other game I play much is battle field 2 wich is very under rated in my opinion.

COD4 is definitely a great game, but cmon its halo when COD sells almost 3 mill in a week and have over a million people playing on xbox live at once then you can say its the number one shooter, but for now its halo and will always be untill xbox 3 or xbox 720

It's definitely way behind other shooters. I wasn't seriuosly questioning what you meant, just bashing what I think is an inferior game. I traded mine in a few weeks after purchasing it. I wish I hadn't bought that filth. The soundtrack was nice, at least.

@Relys - I don't have a PS3, and I am allowed to dislike a game. I happen to think Lost Planet is a much better game.

Sound like your part of the Halo Gestapo, if you read people post they talk about how they don't play Halo 3 anymore because Bungie didn't try to inovate any more IMO. Check the gamer tag: Theo1130

I dont think halo is a bad shooter, if your into a competitive feel than ya m kinda sick of halo too, but i cant get enough of screwing around with all the different custom games with forge and all that other stuff. I very rarely play matchmaking the only reason i did was to get a nice symbol by my gamertag but me and my buddies will stop playing any other game were into just to play some crazy gametype on a crazier map someone made while bored.

Yes, I got the general message. But he didn't say it right. I was refuring to all the people that played Halo 3, and quit. Which isn't me.

Anyways, his retort failed.

Let me put it into words that you can understand. You said "Less annoying people online = win." I insinuated that you are still online and are annoying, and since you are still online the number of "annoying people" will not decrease. This retort succeeded btw.

COD4 will not last nearly as long as halo, why? because there is a new COD like every other year, to where halo 2 survived 4 or so years. there will be a new COD soon and ppl will just move on to that, so COD4 wont last as long, to where halo 3 will have years before ,if even, a new halo is made.

This whole thread is EPIC FAIL.

Invite all the fanboys of either side in and watch them battle? Not the greatest idea.

How did cod4 innovate any more than Halo? It may be modern, the graphics are better than Gears, and it's fast-paced, but the only two changes in it, really, are perks and class customization upgrades.

Halo 3 added gadgets, forge, and the ability to **** with running speed and gravity (and pretty much every other imaginable game editing option.)

I am not defending Halo 3 or saying it is better, just that it improved as much as cod2 did to 4. The problem with Halo 3 for me was that the maps just weren't good the first time around. I won't be buying the map pack, because I don't feel like giving Bungie $10 for 3 maps when I've already got all their achievements for multiplayer.

CoD 4 is awesome. I am obviosly playing it more now... because it came out after Halo 3... so of course I like it more now. With all the amazing games coming out soon, I won't really have time to go back and play all the multiplayer over live again. I have a job and school and stuff.

And you can't argue with statistics... Halo 3 has more people, and it will several months from now. I wonder how well Bungie's next game will do, without the word Halo in the title. All the tools who bought it because of that word might miss out.

What I mean by 2nd is that you have other shooter that you rateher play, such as in my case. My first now is TF2, then COD4 ONLINE, and Halo 3. so discussBlitz1130
id say resistance fall of man is a 2nd shooter
