After playing COD4 I thought Halo was very lacking in every aspect.

The Good:

1: The graphics are really nice.

2: The vehicles are fun to use.

3: 4 player online co-op is awsome.

4: Master Chief is a kick arse character.

The Bad

1: You cannot crouch while moving.

2: Short Story.

3: You cannot aim assault rifles like COD4.

4: You jump waaay too high in the game.

5: The AI are terrible.

6: Online is full of 10 year olds.

7: A lot of glitches.

You can crouch and move, just hold down the stick and if you want you can make it so that you just press on the left stick and he stays down. Also Halo isn't supposed to be realistic, duty 4 is so thats why they have the realistic aiming aspect. As for the jumping really high, Spartans are supposed to be super strong and athletic....so they jump really high. I dont think either game is terrible, think both games have good and bad things about them.

Halo is still good because the online is setup very well and it's easy to get into.

Online.

And I don't know what you're talking about regarding the A.I. You must not have played on Heroic/Legendary, they're very smart.

Those bad reasons you listed is just personal taste and can be easily ignored. Are you going to complain about every game that doesn't have aim down scope or not being able to crouch while moving? Look at the good side about Halo 3 and the things you listed can be easily ignore to people who enjoy the game instead of finding every possible thing that would make the game bad. If you like COD4 because of the way it is then just play COD4 and have fun.

The AI in Cod4 is none existent. There are 3 halo games plus books etc. Storywise theres alot of content and Bungie have taken alot of care to create a series with lots of background. You can't say the same for call of duty 4.

Are you talking about COD4, because Halo is far from easy to master.

Erm no? It's popular but not alot of people master it. Theres a fair share of good players but a much smaller number of great players.

I'd say it's easier, but not easy.

you can crouch while moving. the story isnt that short. i like the aiming better. and the ai is smarting then call of duty on legendary. the only reason that call of duty is hard on veteran is because you die so fast. the ai doesnt get any smarter

halo MP is not harder or easier than COD4 it is the same...it is the opponent that makes either game hard or easy...from what i have found halo has much stiffer competition than COD4...if you only play halo once or twice than yes it is easy online bc you play against ppl who are low in levels but once you get ranked up it becomes a challenge to win...COD4 on the other hand seemed easy to me...i played it at a buddies house and in my first game i got 17 kills and only died 4 times...there is no way anyone could do that on halo...also about the story being short, it is probably twice as long as COD4 so esad

How is Halo 3 short? lol?....Look at Call Of Duty 4 it's one of the shortest games ever. But still Call Of Duty 4 is a good game.

1. Um, yes you can.

2. Not any shorter than Call of Duty 4's storyline...

3. It's a different game, therefore there are different weapons. Do you want them to play the exact same way?

4. So? Does that make the gameplay any less fun?

5. No, it's not. In fact, I would say the AI in Halo 3 is some of the best in any FPS I've played.

6. So is the online in Call of Duty 4. Your point?

7. Examples?

Halo: CE invented stealth gameplay, role playing, open world level design, and is the first step in the transendance of humanity to a greater being beyond our comprehension of time and space and defying previous metaphysical theories.

just because you don't like a few things in the game doesnt mean it sucks. its a sci fi shooter set 500 years in the future, and you're complaining about realism? go away.

It's a fun game. i like the setting, story, characters, and controls better than COD4 (which I dislike).
