Ohai, I'm Loscocco (pronounced Loss-cocoa). I'm a college student (computer science major), 3D animator, and long-time Halo player.
You cannot compare GOW to Halo.... but I did it anyway
GOW 2:
1: Closed Campaign, never anything more than 1 giant path with a few stops to fight. About 2 missions that are different than that which lasts about 5mins...
2: Terrible Multiplayer. They have updated it, but cannot find a balance with the weapons. Everyone gets shotguns (some people do more damage than others- damn host), grenades that stun people, guns with instant kill chainsaws, auto-pistol. Across the map, there are tons of explosives- everything is overpowered.... Almost every 5 mins, you hear someone yell "THATS BULL SH(iznit)!!!!!!" and they are right.
3: Connection. They use a Connection Host. Everyone connects to one player. That one player has a damage boost and is more resistant to damage. If the host quits, all other players get booted from the game.
4: Graphics. They said Halo 3 has bad graphics? First of all, Halo 3 came out about 1.5 years before GOW2. Second, the model of a human is completely fake, They make humans look like gorillas... Third, if you use the camera, you will notice that the graphics arent any better than H3...
H3:
1: Campaign- Halo 3 campaign is a little bit like a big path, but not completely. Only a select missions like, Floodgate, the Storm, Tsavo Highway, Cortana (a little bit) are a lot like a big trail, but H3 is much more open than GOW 2 and ODST will fix that because you explore an entire city.
2: Multiplayer is great. There are varieties of playlists and gametypes. Almost every time you die, you cant blame the game. Besides shotguns, almost everything is based on skill, shotguns is a little bit of skill and sometimes connection- you barely play shotguns though, GOW2- you always spawn with shotguns...
3: Connection. Servers is much better, when host leaves, a new host is chosen. Hosts do not get a huge advantage. Especially because GOW2 is an elimination game, dying from the host is less annoying and the host isnt able to have a damage increase (hosts cant do what is equivalent to being able to 3shot with a BR)
4: Graphics- again, it came out before GOW2. It has very good graphics unless you zoom in on a small portion of a map in Theater or with the scope. GOW2, you can only compare the graphics to H3 if you can actually have the ability to zoom in on things....
