The one thing GOW has over and above Halo, is the ability to choose what map, and what mode you are going to play. You hate a particular map? No prob, just join the ones you want to play. If you are in an unranked match, players automatically stay together through each maps, unless someone quits. Which brings me to another benefit, when a player quits, most of the time, he is replaced by someone new. But, H2 wins with the sheer variety of maps and modes.
The ability to choose what map you want to play skews your ranking level a little bit. i dont know if gears has a ranking system or not because ive never tried it, but if you could choose what map you want to play in halo 2, your rank might be a little padded. Say someone is awesome at one map so they choose to play games with that map constantly. Well they might get to a level 30 or something just doing that. When you are forced to play different maps and adapt to environments and have to figure out what to do on each map and do everything differently for each map, your true skill is shown.
