Subject: Will ODST catch the Call of Duty Fans?

I never got into CoD because honestly I felt as if I was too good at it. Not trying to brag but I was a level like 23 at my peek beating like 5th time prestiges on the leader boards after every game. (No I don't think I can tear anyone up here or am good enough to do MLG, this was just simple matchmaking team slayer)

I didn't see any strategy, all I ever did was run around with a silenced sub machine gun and fired from the hip and racked up a huge amount of kills, died, rinse and repeat.

I never found myself having to do anything strategic, while in Halo you have to manage power weapon spawn rates, equipment, and focused team fire.

The 'levels' in CoD don't mean a thing...

Well my friend already plays more CoD than Halo, and he started live as a Halo person, but he went over to the -blam!- side.

Dude if you dislike the game, fine, can't stop you, your life, but there is no need to put down another artists work.

Yeah some people are good at doing that, spraying, a problem in the series, or not aiming but it might mean you are just better, if you aren't that good it's a better game the you can do all that, CoD, didn't give you enough chances for tactics. Because the CoD series is basically playable movies. How they run through, devestation, it's all they are but thye make it work in my eye.

If you like CoD so much how about you go on the g@y CoD forums.

CoD sucks. It's just who can camp better. For once, I'm actually on your side Trotta. If you camp, you win. Just find a good perch, use a one-hit gun, and shoot through a wall and kill a guy.

I think that personaly ODST is better but COD will catch more attention because its more realistic while ODST is a run-n-gun, middle of the action game. Bungie tried to make ODST more tactical by involving you as a "weaker" non super-human ODST but it still catches the Spartan effect a little


like weilding turrets,and jumping 6 feet?

Cod sucks yet it has millions of preorders.

The jump isn't nearly what it was in Halo 3, not it's normal. You can only use turrets in Firefight, not Campaign. You are allowed in Firefight because Bungie didn't want to sacrifice too much fun to make you feel like an ODST. And CoD is not realistic. In CoD, you shoot and see out of the top of your helmet (seriously, that's why you can get sniped when you only see the top of somebody's head), you throw grenades way further than humanly possible, it is possibly to aim from the hip and aim perfectly, etc. Halo isn't meant to be realistic, that's why it excels. People find Halo fun because of all the stuff that you shouldn't be able to do. But they do make it believable, as if in the future it's possible that there will be this super-soldier helping defend humanity against attack aliens and their technology.

(most think MW2 will outsell Halo 3 on the xbox, lolololololol)


It will. I believe MW2 will be the most dominant game EVER. CoD 4 was ranked at No. 1 for all but a few categories, including total copies sold, on the Xbox 360 (Halo 3 has the No. 1 spot, but has also been out for a longer amount of time.) On the PS3, CoD 4 takes almost all No. 1 spots and for PC is No. 1 for all but copies sold (World of Warcraft). Now MW2 has almost all the hype of the gaming world, and in due time, will most likely out-sell Halo 3.

Just so everybody knows, I'm getting both ODST (LE) and MW2 (Hardened), so I'm not being a "n00b hAteRz////1//1////one/one///eleven!!!!!//!??!RofLmAo!" as many immature forum goers of the Halo 3 community would like to put it.

Call of Duty 4 was released 2 months after Halo 3. It has sold 4 million on the 360, Halo 3 sold 8 million. Halo 3 doubled the sales of CoD4 on the Xbox. MW2 may outsell Halo 3: ODST, but players will soon realize that Modern Warfare 2 felt pretty much the same as that game they played 2 years ago, and will lose faith in the Call of Duty franchise. Also, Call of Duty is worse than Halo because they need a new game every year in order to keep people interested. Halo 3 has held the number 1 spot on Xbox Live for pretty much it's entire life span (according to Larry Hryb, aka Major Nelson). It has survived both CoD4 and WaW, and numbers have shown that Halo 3 is beating both CoD games combined. CoD has about 950,000 users a day, Halo 3 has over a million. You can dig deep on Majornelson.com in an attempt to find these numbers.

I enjoy both Halo 3 and CoD4, and am planning to buy both ODST and MW2 this fall...

If your a CoD fan, either huge or small, get off of Bungie.net(Unless if you only like WaW, that was the only one that was better than the others), we don't want your'every one likes realistic games' or 'CoD is for MLG pros' crap, for all I care MLG meens Major Leauge G@ys.

Dude I don't care and my grammer is perfect.I used "Big", as you recall it to mak is specific."to not do...",is incorrect beause "do" is present tense/perfect(or future) when it was a past tense.

What I don't like about CoD is the skill gap. First day ever playing any CoD, I beat my friend who had had it for months.

1.We're not allowed to like both games, no matter how much?
2.WaW was probably the worst one, in the eyes of almost anybody who played another CoD game.
3.Who said "CoD is for MLG pros"? CoD has a ridiculously small skill gap, and most confrontations are determined by who started shooting first.

I'm pretty sure that Halo has a much larger MLG following than Call of Duty. Both are amazing games.

I think MW2 will pull in some Halo fans, actually.

MW2 and ODST FTW!

According to Cpt Trotta, I'm not allowed to be here, due to me loving CoD and Halo.

Trotta, please go fall in a pit.

I'm the cult of personality,
I call it like i see it, if i feel the need to be blunt and to the point, then i will, if i feel the need to be very detailed, i will, im here to stay and im here to do things my way, if you respect that or not is your choice, not mine,
and don't worry, while i don't agree with everyone's opinion, i do respect everyone's opinion.

maybe a few but not much oh I'm in between I'm getting ODST and modern warfare 2

  • 08.15.2009 4:17 PM PDT

im a cod fan but after waw not so much of one i dont think im going to buy mw2 seems like it could be a good game i know some times the compaines swith off on their games but there was too much spawn killing waw iim going to get odst

  • 08.15.2009 4:20 PM PDT

Oh, and I'd like to know how Call of Duty is so terrible. I very much dislike CoD: WaW when I play matchmaking, but CoD 4 has absolutely amazing online gameplay. Oh, and whoever said there are no tactics is wrong. You only think that because you played Team Deathmatch, which is for, um, the "worse" population of CoD. You can actually go prone, you actually need to activate a bomb when you plant it, the grenade throws are pretty realistic, as it is not hard to throw what's basically a light-weight ball a long distance (especially when you train and become quite strong in the militiary).

Also, everybody should remember that CoD 4 IS NOT real-life warfare. It's realistic, but not real. You can use perks to make you perform better, which are very unrealistic. However, it's a video game. Such explains the other unrealistic parts of Call of Duty.

Just remember... realistic video games aren't real. Stop hating on CoD because it isn't absolutely perfectly realistic means it's a video game... not that it's flawed.
