Neither, all FPS are the same and CoD 4 is better anyway.

I agree with this 110%. XD


But still, if I had to pick one or the other... I'd say Halo. I don't like Halo, and I don't like Gears. But since I'm slightly better at Halo then I am GoW.... yea.

I suppose it's not fair to compare the two when I've only played Halo... but honestly, while games like Call of Duty and Battlefield do nothing but frustrate me, Halo has made me enjoy online shooters all over again. That should really speak for itself. :D

and cod4's worst game ever r0fL

Actually I've played about 600 hours of COD4. Probably why I'm over it. :) And aside from that I've invested a lot of time in BF1942, BF2, and BF: Bad Company, all of which I'm over too.

My point being Halo's nice because it's a good change from the gritty, realistic shooters we're being force fed today. You can't really hop into another game and get a different perspective, but pretty much identical gameplay. It's nice!

Halo <3 I've been playing Halo since the first game came out, and I love them. I'll agree that they don't deserve the hype of being the best game ever and stuff, but they are pretty awesome. Gears of War is really fun too, but I didn't like the story line/controls as much as Halo.

I cannot stand Gears of War. It just doesn't feel right. There is NO need for that much blood in a game.

Halo has always been my favorite game and always will be. Seeing as everyone is debating over COD4, I will put in my opinion about that as well.

COD4 is fun, on occasion. It really just isn't a game I can play more than 2 rounds of a day. Its just.. boring to me.

They are all great games though. (Excluding GoW).

Halo. But mostly because I've never played Gears of War. I sure hope they get to make a Halo 4.
Unfortunately, it is not going to happen. =(

The next part in the trilogy is Halo Wars.

Ooh exciting! -sarcasm-

Halo is an overated piece of trash, i hate it's cartoony style and cowerdly AI (even on Legendary), there is no challange in the game, and as for the online, well it would have been good if it wasn't full of 11-15 year olds who think there cool when they kill you, but if you kill them they report you, where as Gears i love it's dark, grim almost real world style, the AI is much more of a challange (Gears Casual mode is more of a challange than Halo's Legendary) and as for the online, i have made many good friends through Gears online (some who have even come to be real world friends, not just "Live Friends") and even though it could lag at times it's a much more fun and mature online game as it isn't always full of cocky little kids who can't tell which way around to hold the controller.

I'm gonna say it now, shooters suck when it comes to AI in the campaign or "story" modes, they really do, every single one I've played. For me it's Halo all the way, I didn't like Gears that much, it's good but I hate multiplayer. I love Halo's multiplayer, it's fun and it really is different, most people bash it for being the same but the only thing that's the same is that it's a FPS so naturally it would feel the same. However, I think it plays totally different than any other FPS out there, it has more of a run and gun style which happens to be my style, there is constant action. It plays a lot faster and the shield system puts a little more emphasis on teamwork, though individual skill is also a big part of it, all the little tricks that help out your gameplay is great too. It can also be very strategic though, especially when played competitively and once you get to know the weapon and powerup times as well as the spawn system. Call of Duty 4 is very good as well, but Halo is more my style, not to mention I'm better at it than the other games.
