Im going to be getting xbox live soon and i cant decide which shooter i should get. Halo 3 or Gears of War. Ive played gears online and i had a lot of fun on that,and i don't want to get Halo3 because i haven't played the halo 1 or 2 campaign and im afraid that i wont be able to understand what is going on in the 3rd campaign and i just don't want to spend on the older games just so i can understand the story. On the other hand since gears is the first of possibly a whole series ill be able to start fresh and follow along with the story as the games come out. i would appreciate your opinions

Halo has alot more multiplayer modes then gears. Gears is a great game but I personally would go with Halo 3 or COD4. Also look into the Orange Box because Half Life 2, Episode 1, Episode 2, Portal, and Team Fortress is a great deal for $60.

I've got both and I like Halo 3 better (overall) because it has a way better multiplayer.

Get Call of Duty 4. It's as amazing game. Best shooter on 360 this far.

Gears is a solid choice, but you should know that since Halo 3, The Orange Box, and Call Of Duty 4 have come out the multiplayer community has started to die. You can still find games but there are a lot less people playing.

If you have already had fun with Gears of War and don't want to back track with the older Halo's then I suggest you go with Gears of War.

get both. They're the two greatest games ever. Halo 3 is more of an arcade shooter, and Gears makes you think a little.

Out of those two, I'd say Gears, but I'd alsosay that CoD is the best purchase as far as shooters are concerned right now.

Get gears of war. Yeah community is dying out a little on it these days, but its been out a hell of alot longer than COD 4 and Halo 3 and such games. People will come back to it. And theres enough on there anyway, Plus this will set you up for Gears war 2, should be coming next christmas.

People will come crawling back :P

Here's an idea, play the demos and then decide, because it all depends on you.

There's gears fans, and halo fans. It's up to you to pick which fan you are. BTW, I asbolutely love gears.

from what ur saying i think u should get gears. i think u no that already. when ever someone says halo 3 u always say that u wont fllow the story. i dont see y ur having troubel deciding. u obviously want gears. but thats a great choice. gears has a great single player and a good online. if u were gonna get one of these games for just online u should get halo 3, it has one of the best multiplayers out there for the 360. but u are going to be playing single player so go w/ gears.
