I'm no Treyarch hater and I think CoD 5 will be a very good game, but Gears outclasses it here. For MMA fans, this is like pitting GSP against pretty much any other welterweight.Paladin_King

I haven't touched halo 2 because I've been busy with halo 1, and I don't even have halo 3 or cod4 or cod3 or gta4 or gow yet.i_pk_pjers_i

I totally agree and I made as similar thread about this http://www.gamespot.com/forums/show_msgs.php?board_id=909102864&topic_id=26599122. That is why last year rockstar decided to move back the release of GTAIV to Spring '08. We all know that turned out very well for them ($$$). Maybe some of these games will be pushed back which will only make the game better with more polishing. Just look at some of the games coming out:

Dead SpaceOct 14, 2008
Saints Row 2 Oct 14, 2008
Fable IIOct 21, 2008
Far Cry 2Oct 21, 2008
Fallout 3Oct 28, 2008
Tom Clancy's EndWarNov 4, 2008
Gears of War 2Nov 7, 2008
Call of Duty: World at WarNov 11, 2008

It would cost you about$480to buy them all.

There are a ton of good games coming out all at the same time, so most people are going to want one the other AAA games that are coming out.

Dead Space Oct 14, 2008
Saints Row 2 Oct 14, 2008
Fable II Oct 21, 2008
Far Cry 2 Oct 21, 2008

Tom Clancy's EndWar Nov 4, 2008
Gears of War 2 Nov 7, 2008
Call of Duty: World at War Nov 11, 2008

And who knows this game might even end up being a disappointment.
