CoD4 and Halo 3 are very different multiplayer experiences, so how can you compare them really?

I prefer Halo, the Single player is a ton more fun, and the online is better as well.

I personally prefer Call of Duty 4's multiplayer.  I found it much more accessible to someone who rarely plays online.  I can jump into a game of team deathmatch and actually make a difference, despite only playing once or twice a month.  I felt useless in Halo 3 and had a couple instances of teammates actually yelling at me about my lack of skill.  It just can off as very unfriendly for me. 

As for the single player, they were both really enjoyable. Halo 3 gets big props from me simply because of co-op all the way through on a single system.  Love that.

Halo 3 is much more rewarding, which is strange since you don't really unlock anything of real value in Halo. Just your rank... but when you see a 50, you know he's one badass mother fucker. In COD 4 when you see a guy who's prestiged 3 times and is already 52 again ready to prestige for a 4th time... it doesn't mean anything, just that he has a shit load of free time.

That being said I love them both, and fully look forward to COD: WaW. I just like Halo more... and likely always will.

COD4 fo sho. Halo 2 got me back into gaming and Halo 3 is the reason why I bought a 360. I then switched back and forth between COD4 and Halo 3, but ultimately ended up drifting from Halo 3. I'm now playing World at War and COD4 because I think it's more satisfying and takes much more skill to be a top player.

Honestly, I prefer Halo 3 multiplayer. Mostly because I'm better at it. But if we're talking single-player, then COD 4 blows Halo 3 off the map. Halo's single-player has always sucked, while COD 4's single-player is memorable, fun, engaging, and intense.

Make your own opinion.

I personally prefer Call of Duty.

I enjoy playing Call of Duty 4 a great deal more than Halo 3, but I can tolerate both.

- In Halo 3 the matchmaking system is a billion times better than the one in CoD. 9/10 times in Halo the games go right down to the wire, in CoD it’s a different story.
- As much as I enjoy the CoD campaign, Halo 3's campaign is longer and has vehicles, making it a better experience. Halo 3 also has a variety of types of encounter, in CoD you're generally at close range and only occasionally at long.
- Halo 3 is the best playing FPS of all time, no buts and no excpetions. CoD is only so popular because of the iron sighting, infact if you think about it CoD gunplay isn't that amazing, even if it is fast paced and frenetic.
- Halo 3 requires more skill. You may debate this as much as you like, but it does. For anyone who plays at a high level, e.g Commander or above, knows how important Battle Rifle control is and people might argue that sniping is difficult in CoD, but frankly, I think it's a lot more difficult in Halo (people move faster). CoD4 on the other hand requires very little skill or intelligence, there's no grenade deflecting, no equipment, little radar watching; knives kill in one hit, and you can kill a person with most weapons in about a half a second burst. This does make CoD easier to get into than Halo in some ways and the skill of players in Halo does sometimes work against newbies. But I say persevere.
- Medals; possibly the best thing ever in a game; there's nothing better than hearing the announcer say "Overkill" (except when he says "Killtacular").

So there you go; there are my reasons for liking Halo more than CoD. That and the fact I've played through all the Halo games a Billion times. Most people playing Halo online right now are people who have played the prior games in the series and loved them and most people who play CoD haven't given Halo much of a chance. This whole rant or whatever you may call it doesn't mean I hate CoD. On the contrary I do still play CoD4 relatively often and have enjoyed almost all of its prequels; I just find the shooting so much more repetitive than Halo’s.

Both games are of the same overall quality. The one that is better is purely based on your favored gameplay.

Couldn't have said it better.

COD4 for life"

Until Call of Duty 5 comes out. Seriously that is the major downfall that will eventually kill Call of Duty is Activision wants one out every year."

I would rather Halo 3, I only ever liked the first COD.

I actually think for some like me aesthetic design is very important because right now i am not in the mood to play Fallout 3 or Gears 2  bedause its a really depressing setting while games like Mirrors Edge or Saints Row 2 are more aestheticly pleasing,So it really depends on your mood.Halo fits in to the Mirrors Edge category while Call of Duty 4 fits into that Gears of War category.

No.

Wait, that's bugging you?  Wait, what?

Anyway, I'd say so.  It just feels, well to be frank,like the better game.  Undeniably it's less buggy and more balanced, but from what I've played off both, it just seems like COD4 is pretty much a formulaic shooter done incredibly solidly while Halo 3 is more original and sort of rides from the pack.

Analogies:  Halo is to Final Fantasy as Call of Duty is to the Mana series
Halo is to an orange as call of duty is to an apple (orange is more of an exotic fruit, but still similar in characterstics, while the apple tastes much like other traditional fruits like say the pear but it's still the best of its kind)

As far as actual quality goes (meaning systems, glitches, etc.) halo 3 wins undisputably.


Some people just prefer the whole realistic vibe though.

I actually think Vegas 2 has better mp than COD4.  But again, it's all opinion.  I feel as though Gears is not suited for competitive mp (although I do like the single player and horde) but others seem to love it (i personally think it's all about spamming strategies and just not very fun)

halo is diff from call of duty... but the differnce for me id thatin COD u can aim and shoot while in halo you can assault your way through enemies 

COD4 is a better game, its like a version of counter strike only its a lot funner to play.

I'd say Halo 3. Because it's far easier for beginners to jump in and play, it's more forgiving, plus there's Forge and Custom games.
Also, it's not all brown.

why have multiple halo threads recently cropped up? Must be the mythic map pack reminding people...

People seem to keep bumping really old ones.

w00t old threads

This thread is WAY old.

I think CoD4 is better but I end up playing Halo 3 multiplayer a lot more and it's for one reason. Being able to play online with 4 people locally. Every game should have that feature.

No.

Aahh...NO!

i will not provide any flame bait but... I have played Halo and I absolutely hate it.

COD4 FTW any day! IMHO.

" COD4 is just another war shooter. Boring. Generic. Old.

There are a lot of reasons why I don't like COD4, but the main one is that you can't play with a friend in the same room online. A lot of conveniences like that which Halo 3 has, no other FPS has, which they should be catching on to soon.

"

No.

COD4 is fun, but it feels like mindless fun. You see a guy, then shoot, see a guy, shoot... Halo is a bit deeper than that, with various techniques and positions. In Halo you use your head just a little more.

Halo 3 is just way more fun than COD4 IMO. COD4 did have the edge with a more emotionally engaging story (can't beat Nukes son) but when it comes down to it, as a package, Halo 3 was much more delivering than COD4.

I think Halo 3 is a much better and more well rounded experiences and this is why:
- In Halo 3 the weapons are a lot more balanced meaning that it's easy for even newbies to get kills. In CoD you often get matched with people who are a higher level and have a better weapon, which brings me onto my next point.
- In Halo 3 the matchmaking system is a billion times better than the one in CoD. 9/10 times in Halo the games go right down to the wire, in CoD it’s a different story.
- Vehicles. CoD has no usable ones whatsoever.
- As much as I enjoy the CoD campaign, Halo 3's campaign is longer and has vehicles, making it a better experience. Halo 3 also has a variety of types of encounter, in CoD you're generally at close range and only occasionally at long.
- Halo 3 is the best playing FPS of all time, no buts and no excpetions. CoD is only so popular because of the iron sighting, infact if you think about it CoD gunplay isn't that amazing, even if it is fast paced and frenetic.
- Forge; the variety of Custom games you can make with forge is infinite.
- Save Films; someone say Machinima?
- Halo 3 requires more skill. You may debate this as much as you like, but it does. For anyone who plays at a high level, e.g Commander or above, knows how important Battle Rifle control is and people might argue that sniping is difficult in CoD, but frankly, I think it's a lot more difficult in Halo (people move faster). CoD4 on the other hand requires very little skill or intelligence, there's no grenade deflecting, no equipment, little radar watching; knives kill in one hit, and you can kill a person with most weapons in about a half a second burst. This does make CoD easier to get into than Halo in some ways and the skill of players in Halo does sometimes work against newbies. But I say persevere.
- Medals; possibly the best thing ever in a game; there's nothing better than hearing the announcer say "Overkill" (except when he says "Killtacular").
- The map design in Halo trumps CoD4 significantly; CoD4 map design is pretty lazy I tend to think, with many of the maps being cut-off parts of the single player game, whilst doesn’t necessarily detract from the fun; in my opinion it adds to the balancing issues. In Halo 3, however all the maps are excellent and well crafted (even Isolation, especially Isolation). Any Halo player who hasn't downloaded the Legendary map pack do it now! Avalanche is possibly the best big map in Halo history and Ghost Town is surprisingly good. It goes without saying that I love Blackout. The maps that shipped are also pretty good. Guardian and Valhalla are probably the pick of the bunch. Other maps like the Pit and Construct are also pretty darn awesome, not to forget High Ground!

So there you go; there are my reasons for liking Halo more than CoD. That and the fact I've played through all the Halo games a Billion times. Most people playing Halo online right now are people who have played the prior games in the series and loved them and most people who play CoD haven't given Halo much of a chance.

COD 4 is WAYYYY better halo gets boring....

" More importantly are you a moron, and why are you people posting on a year old thread "

I'd say each game has it's ups and downs. Call of Duty 4 has a better leveling system in the multiplayer department, while the shooting mechanics in Halo 3 are more refined in my opinion.

Halo 3 by a slight margin.

Two very different games.

I'm sick of this argument.
They're both great games.
Play 'em both and quit your bitching.

It comes down to personal preference. I say no, but it's definitely not far off.
