Subject: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 will beat Halo: ODST

Its the 7ru7h.

First, I would like to say I am not a Call of Duty fanboy, and I'm not a Halo 3 fanboy. I like both games equally. I started playing Halo, played Call of duty for the rest of 2008 and when COD: WAW came out, I played it for a month and thought it was nothing like COD 4. I went back to Halo after that. Call of duty and Halo are both great franchises.

I have many reasons to why I think this way, and I'll list them right here.

1. CODMW2 is a full game, ODST is an expansion.
People will play ODST, beat the campaign and now only have Firefight and Multiplayer to do. Now, MW2 has an addicitve multiplayer, probably a great campaign, special operations co-op mode, and some other unrevealed things. What ODST has going for it is a Demo for Halo: Reach, but that still doesn't make it a full game.

2. Price
Lots of people that are not Halo fanboys have been driven away from ODST because of the price. Its an expansion and it costs as much as a full game. Call of duty is a full game at the same price as an Expansion.

3. The fanboys
Obviously, Halo fanboys will buy ODST and not COD, and COD fanboys will buy MW2 and not buy Halo ODST. That leaves the guys in the middle. They will probably buy both games. They beat ODST's campaign and then go to play MW2. Eventually, the fanboys will be playing ODST alot or MW2. I can bet that most of them will choose MW2 for the reason below.

4. Multiplayer
ODST does not have a brand-new multiplayer mode. MW2 does, and it will probably be better than MW1. It is probably going to beat the original MP of ODST considering that multiplayer is almost 2 years old. Call of duty multiplayer is fast paced and easy to understand and is easy to get on and play compared to Halo's matchmaking process.

5. The community
Halo has ended up being a horrible group of trash-talkers and wannabe pros. In COD, you can suck in a game, and nobody would care. You could quit a game, and nobody would care, you can do anything you want, and noboby would care. Somebody uses an AR, and everybody freaks out in Halo.

6. Hype
COD has so much hype around it and it will definately fulfill on all of that.

I know i'm going to get flamed, but whatever.

Corn, Oil, and Wine... We need more wine...

Well, I know for a fact im getting both, and will probably like MW2, more than ODST. But that is my opinion, if ODST had its own multiplayer than ODST would win for me...

We Halo fanboys don't care about your precious COD.

It's good that everyone has a opinion.

Thanks for sharing!

You made some very good points. Halo 3 will remain more popular than both Halo 3: ODST and Modern Warfare 2. I am saving my money for Halo: Reach. I am sure it will not be disappointment.

  • 07.27.2009 6:07 PM PDT

I totally agree. I think the online is the kicker here. I am going to like ODST. But after seeing the newest MW2 trailer, I have a new crush.

I actully agree

So if you said you won't buy ODST, doesn't that make you a COD fanboy? Which is Ironic because you said "I'm not a fanboy."

Agree, but I hope it won't own Halo Reach. It MUST NOT.

I have already pre-ordered both. I will just play Reach Beta, firefight, and MW2.

They're both good games. Stop acting like 4 year olds and saying "mine r buttearz1!11one1!1"

If you don't know who I am, the feeling is mutual.

I somewhat agree, but then again this is comparing an apple to the tree it grew on. ODST is not as full a game as MW2, so it isn't fair to say the MW2 will completely destroy it. If this was Halo: Reach, then it would be fair.

Also, I disagree with you on #5 entirely. Both communities have idiots. For #6 it's difficult to call. People have been wanting to play as ODSTs three years before MW was released.

I'm not sure if I'll buy MW2 or not. I love the campaigns in CoD games, but since MW I've really grown to dislike all the camping, unfair weapons, and the fact that moving in the open is instant death.

But wait, since you think ODST campaign will suck, you're not going to give it a try?

23055 Gamerscore and counting! :)

Im buying both, they look amazing, for different reasons.
Btw, Halo 3 ODST on amazon.co.uk is 29.99 for a pre-order, you said players where being put off, by what an extra £10 to spare?

  • 07.27.2009 6:12 PM PDT

I really dont care which one is better cause eventually ill have both...
Love Halo
Love Call of Duty
Hope they are both great.

CoD people trash talk as well. In fact, I have gotten more friends from Halo 3 because, in my opinion, there are less trash talkers.
ODST is now qualified for me as a full game. A great campaign, Firefight, which is multiplayer for me, and may be even better that Halo 3's multiplayer.
New maps and a beta, I'm sold.

But I will buy MW2. It will be spectacular. But ODST will be too.

They didn't tell us what it was it could have been anything. Frankie gets scared easy incase you didn't know.

Been here 6 years, been blacklisted 6 times, that's why I'm not Mythic.

You are aware that ODST's pricetag hasn't really driven away anyone, right? And if so I want some sources. Of course MW2 will sell more, it's available on more systems and is the sequel to one of the best shooters ever made.

Reach will win, considering by then, COD MW2 will be one year old. I have never been trash talked in COD, never ever. The only thing that si wrong with the community is, this weapon is nooby and you suck if you use martyrdom.

You must by it, camping is in everygame, but in COD you have radar to really on, so sitting still doesn't help.

Forgot to say this, but I'm sure anybody on this forum will buy ODST no matter what the price. I'm talking about people who don't play Halo much, or don't think it is worth it. I love both games, even though I am more exited for MW2 considering they are adding the FAMASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

  • 07.27.2009 6:19 PM PDT

I think it will be 1. MW2 2.Halo 3 ODST...... but ive preordered ODST and not MW2.

I HATE Modern Warfare! It is nothing like the WWII games I am used to playing from Call of Duty. I like Call of Duty, but Modern Warfare is just plain stupid! Oh, yeah, I'm getting Halo 3: ODST FTW!!!
