well i think the halo series is far better than the cod series by far however everyone associates halo with noobs and 10 year olds so they always buy cod and -blam!- about halo they are simply blind i think reach will give mw2 a good run for its money seeing as halo is far more inventive and has a great story line despite what moody cod -blam!-s say

They're hardly competitors, considering they're a year apart. There will be a new CoD game coming out around the time of Reach's release, not MW2.

And as far as I'm concerned, your either a CoD fan or a Halo fan; aside from being FPS's, they have very little in common.

I'm a fan of both :D

About me: I am a vicious wolf of a man.

But really am sweet at heart. =)

I think they will be equaly popular.

I personally am a fan of both IW and Bungie. However I like how Bungie handles its community better, and actually consults with it for tips on what they want.

  • 11.10.2009 10:37 AM PDT

halo is in my opinion the better series so i get wound up when cod fanboys bang on about how mw got game of the year ,and halo got best multiplayer. but surely halo's story and campaign are better than cod so im guessing it was based on sales

In my opinion they're quite equal in story, MW had the play through characters deaths things but halo has the aliens attacking humans stuff

Tucker: "no dude, that's a pedephile"
Church: "tucker, i think he means a pacifier"

From what i'm hearing MW2 really stepped up in it's MP offering, and being as the first MW was the only game that really gave Halo3 a run for it's money on xbl, I would say that they will compete with eachother quite a bit.

Hopefully Reach will benefit from more time in "the oven" as I still think Halo has the best MP offering. All it needs is some tweaks concerning balance.

  • 11.10.2009 10:43 AM PDT

don't know.

but if either of them are like halo 3 or COD4, then, i think, MW2 wins on gameplay experience - the combat if far more intense and fun - however, halo has a more exotic array of weapons, and a good plot line to keep me playing. Both were as good as each other, but not in the same area.

If halo reach is done properly, mixing halo CE gameplay, originality and brilliance with Halo 3 epicness, multiplayer and popularity then reach will own.

But dont be blind! Just because reach is newer does not mean it will be better!

  • 11.10.2009 10:48 AM PDT

to be honest, i think the cod series has a far better single player campaign experience, i think its a lot funner, then halos campaign, but the story of halo its self, im in love with, it's truelly epic, but i just feel as if every game after ce was just stale, like it wasnt nothing new, been there, done that. i have my hopes up for reach to be the different one.

The thing is that Halo has an amazing story, cod doesnt.

Bungie wouldn't bother releasing Reach if it wasn't "better".

Tucker: "no dude, that's a pedephile"
Church: "tucker, i think he means a pacifier"

One thing to keep in mind as well is that this time around Bungie has a chance to see what the competition is doing before they release their title. The situation was reversed the last time around.

  • 11.10.2009 10:56 AM PDT

impossible is just a word

The answer is no because far to many people say halo is crap and stupid these people have no taste so they opted for games like COD dont get me wrong i think COD is amazing but still Halo Fans = Smart educated people who like a good story and a nice cup of coffee
COD fans = People who think they are pro because they can sparay and call in a helicopter that requires no skill and has lots of drama so now they think they are soldiers and master tacticians (im talking about the generally player not all)
so no all halo fans will hold strong but Cod fans will P90 spam and grenade spam us to death so yeah it will not beat it despite how much we all wont it 2

Halo 3: ODST = $30

Halo is the most popular game series of all time. Those who hate it are those who can't play it (PS3/Wii owners) or those who suck at it. The only reason Call of Duty is more popular is because it is multi-platform not because it is better.

It is kind of unfair to compare MW2 to Reach but of course Halo will be better. Call of Duty got fun with MW but it's still just Call of Duty.

Wow that is terribly wrong. Halo is my favorite game franchise of all time, but it is not the most popular video game series of all time.

Mario, Pokemon, Final Fantasy, Grand Theft Auto, and several others as franchises have sold 50+ million copies.

And, the Call of Duty franchise, collectively, is technically more popular than Halo. CoD has sold 35 million copies collectively, while the Halo franchise has only sold 27 million.

CoD will always be the epitome of instant gratification; as IW continues to do more and more things hurting the community to prioritize future success and retail sales they compensate with mass unlockables and a campaign who's sweetness is only justified by it's shortness (not bashing the campaign it's awesome but this is very true).

Don't fool yourselves to think the multiplayer has truly been revamped, and realize that IW has entirely ignored the PC community when anyone with a fps background can recognize that this game is a much competitive and better suited game for PC gamers. They've received the shaft as IW recognizes there is a larger console community and they like instant gratification even when in the midst of obvious faults.

Halo on the other hand has campaign's that entice people not based on 15 badass moments over a short campaign, but with a universe caring of captivating the consumer that is truly appreciative of story telling; not passing up meaningful ambiguity for a rooftop chase sequence.

I don't even care that much about the SP and can recognize that, but the multiplayer is the exact same case. You can't get a red dot for your BR or a free rocket launcher if you die 5 times in a row, but that balance and dedication for real fps fun is what has always kept people playing. The statistics have proven these things, and Halo Reach will just help Halo's themes in the genre come full circle.

Keep in mind that Halo is on one platform though. CoD is on 3 different platforms. Now if the 360 version ALONE outsold halo, then I could see it as being more popular or well received. There is no denying though that Halo has had WAY more of a cultural impact that most other games. The only other one I can think is GTA, but thats because of controversy and wide media plubicity. Ask anyone just walking on the streets what halo was and I guarantee that at least 75% know what you are talking about.

Now that is pretty incredible for the bad rep that video games have as a whole to the people outside the video game loop.

[i]a little patience,yeah yeah yeah
a little patience, You've been walking the streets last night,just try to get things right,But for game news there isn't many around,so you're just being stuck in the crowd,The news won't change
but maybe the name,You ain't got time for that games
cause you need it,Yeah yeah you need it

Just to make it easy:
YES

I do expect alot of Halo:Reach, but we don't know much of Halo:Reach so that's why I think it is better,
But at the other side...
I think MW2 is a good game, please don't get stupid and aussult me with comments like: you suck etc.etc..
It is my opinion! =P
But I do really think Halo:Reach will be better than CoD MW2

In the days of old, there were legends of a land long lost to time. This land was known as Ranna'Mor. Ranna'Mor was said to contain in its borders 7 warriors. These warriors had once unleashed a veritable hell upon the ancient world, until they were locked away. My name is Toriad, and I am one of those warriors. Our return is approaching. Do not run away, do not cower in fear; take solace in your final days, for that is all we can do. -Legend of Ranna'Mor

This is not an easy comparison to make. Modern Warfare 2 and Halo Reach are being released almost a whole year apart from each other. By the time of Halo: Reach's release, there will be a different game for it to be compared to.
