CoD4 is outstanding, sooo much better than Halo3 in my opinion. I can barely get through the Halo3 campaign, even while I slowly do I have no idea whats going on and I just want to be finished with it all (see I have to beat it since I bought it, but its taking forever because I cant stand it right now). I have to admit that I enjoy Halo3 multiplayer when a bunch of people over, its just the campaign that doesnt cut it really.

CoD4 on the other hand, I cant get enough of. Both Campaign and Multiplayer are amazing. I started with campaign, and just when I thought the game couldnt get any better I tried multiplayer and was blown away. The whole multiplayer system they have is fantastic - build up your rank to unlock weapons, gadgets, perks, etc. - its awesome!

I would choose CoD4 over Halo3 anyday. In fact, just go buy CoD4 - its that good.

I only ever play games online with friends. Never played Halo 3 since i got COD4, need i say anymore...? Tried to join an online game of Halo 3 the other night when COD wasn't working, just keeps searching for players for like 15 mins??? So put on COD 3 which was better than Halo. All anyone ever seems to do on Halo 3 is throw grenades everywhere, where is the skill in this? Boring!!!!!!!

I think both are really good games, but in terms of campaign and multiplayer.... I think Halo 3 is much better.

I hate the comparison of these 2 games, they are completely different styles.

I personally hated Halo 1+2, terribly unrevolutionary simplified shooters, but loads of people loved them.

Halo 3 has started to add more to the genre with personal shields etc and I found it pretty good fun but I can see how the extra additions might make the normal halo fan feel abit overwhelmed. I have only played Halo 3 at m8s houses, might buy it myself but the orange box is 1st on my list .

to me though Halo is always abit too old school, ie enemies take an entire clip to kill(ie work through their shields) reminds me of quake 3 gaming, which for me was great at the time, but is just a little outta date for me(my preferance).

CoD4 has alot more to think about with all the perks and different styles available. CoD4 has brilliantly merged both the stealthy shooter and run around blasting everything.

If you want you can grab a SMG or machine gun and run around like a mad man shooting everything that moves or you can don on some heavy camo and a sniper rifle and go crawling through grass picking people off 1 by 1. they have also made it almost impossible to camp in 1 place. This is down to map design, if you camp in 1 spot too long you are bound to have someone knife you in the back or be killed by a grenade.

CoD4 single player is phenominal, although the map design is sometimes limited. I personally prefer the open landscapes of crysis on my pc. but the story of cod4 is very gripping, once you have started you just dont stop! From the very 1st absail down onto a boat right up to the final(very memorable) shot. Short but very powerful story.

length: Halo3 is is a little bit longer but also a very short game

All in all it depends what you want, if you want a futuristic simple shooter id say go with Halo3 if you want a modern day simple shooter with the option to make it much more complicated via custom classes go with cod4. ie do you wanna shoot lasers or bullets :P

I played halo 3 for like a month and a half, and now i've been playing cod 4 for a week. And i have to say that cod 4 is more fun i think. maby cause i got tired of halo 3 (played it 24/7) and maby cause i just started playing cod 4. But halo 3 is the better game. When i played i cud always find a game in less than 2 mins. In cod 4 atm it sometimes takes ages and sometimes i can't play online at all. I think personally that halo 3 is the better game. But that's just my opinion.

but go buy cod 4, it's fun aswell ^^
