Subject: Hope Reach beats MW2

Clearly because the desktop uses a 3 prong plug and a laptop uses a 2 prong plug, the microwave will fill your car with tostitos better

How can one game "beat" another game, and even if it could why would it matter? Just play what you want to play and don't worry about it.

There are too many kids screaming.
There's a mute button.



Right, but my point was, they are all immature. Even when I do mute them, I still get teabagged or grenades thrown at my body.

I have a perfect example. I somehow just kept killing this one kid, and when he finally killed me, he wasted the rest of his grenades on my dead body. The immaturity almost made my head explode.

I've never had my body shot, had grenades thrown at, or humped in MW2.
Yo've never been teabagged in CoD because of killcam.

I like the competition between CoD and Halo, because it motivates the developers to make better games, but there is no reason to bash either game. They are both great franchises.

Even though CoD isn't exactly my cup of tea I have to agree. The only thing I'll say regarding my opinion on CoD is that Activision's CEO needs to take a long walk off of a short cliff. I'm serious that guy is just wrong in so many ways. Oh and no dedicated servers for MW2?! Do they WANT to lose sales?

Yeah the PC version of the game is very much hated among PC gamers because of a very dumbed down multiplayer for them among other things. They are even going so far as to boy cott it.

I don't aim to counter all the points you made, but rather the one you made directed at me.

Immature players really do make the experience much worse for me. I get frustrated with the little brats thinking they are gods at Halo, and when I beat them, I'm a hacker or have no life. That turns me off quickly. I know Bungie has nothing to do with this, but it does change the experience for me.

I agree with your statement about campaign. MP should only be an option, or something to do after you're done with the campaign, not the whole focus of the game. I highly recommend you play through MW2 if you like a good story, but, of course, you will have to play through CoD4 to understand it completely.

MW2 has a great campaign with an emotional story. And as far as replayability, I've already went through certain levels several times. It is much more fun than CoD4.

Now, when it comes to killing and dying in MW2 online, it really depends on the player. I don't have much of a problem playing a game with 21 kills and 7 deaths. Of course, you have the advantage when you get the drop on your enemy, but the combat, to me, isn't about head on fighting, but more planned out strategies of playing.

I play smart, on both MW2 and Halo 3, which is why I'm good, because when it comes to head to head combat, I'm only average. What gets me my larger number of kills is the way I play. MW2 seems to fit me better in that regard, but that doesn't stop me from having a hell of a time on Halo.

But my point was never to say one game was better, but to say they are both good games in their own ways.

I am pretty sure, that Halo Reach exterminate all aspects CoD MW2

Campaign (Story)

I think Halo Reach is gonna have to do better than running in away in a Warthog, if it is going to beat-

***MW2 ENDING SPOILER***
-pulling a goddamn knife out of your chest, which had just been stabbed in, and just barely managing to save one of your last friends in the world from death. It's less bombastic than a Warthog escape, but my God is it more emotional (not to mention the intense, rumbling, and furious music playing as you are ripping it out).


Holy crap that was awesome! And seeing the moment where you first see Price...awesome

I really think comparing Halo: Reach and MW2 is a moot point. MW2 is out now. Reach won't be out for a year. MW2 is a great game, but in a year, people will be ready to try something new. A year is a long time. If the games were coming out a few weeks or a month apart, then I would see at least a little reason to create millions of threads comparing them.

But newsflash: We don't know anything about Halo: Reach, BECAUSE IT IS A YEAR AWAY. It is mindless to have franchise wars about Halo: Reach and MW2.

If you want to show your support for the Halo franchise, stop pissing and moaning on a Bungie community forum, and go play the game. Give Halo 3 more unique players, show that it is still going strong. People don't go on the Bungie forums to check who is winning the franchise war. They check Live numbers.

I hope CoD wins the game war. Infinity Ward loves their fans, unlike Bungie, who fetishes their stupid "banhammer". Also, CoD is more intricate and requires much more skill, with a better ranking system and customizable perks, weaponry, etc.

Plus CoD's more fun to play with girls. Halo's general online community is misogynistic and immature. Girls like call of duty more in my experience. Oh have I had wonderful late nights playing splitscreen with my girl.


Cool story bro

...what are you serious? Infinaty Ward only gave us one map pack for cod 4 while bungie gave us 3, plus Bungie is always giving us new vidocs, interviews and videos to watch, plus Bungie gave halo waypoint to us for FREE and are constantly giving us updates for every little detail. I never see Infinaty Ward doing that, and also when it comes to girls? how can you say the girls who play that game are great when you dont even know them? for all you know they could be dudes posing as girls (meaning the ones you dont know) and if you ask me the community on CoD live are way worse because they are always a bunch of voice cracking teens or 40 year old creeps who cuss every other word( Its really annoying) and I always hear so many racist terms used on live its annoying, On Halo ya you get the occasional little kid whos really annoying but at least its not as bad as CoD

@Helveck

Just an Average Joe...

Halo 3 is older than MW and MW2. And up until now, they've H3 has topped the Live charts. Even with being older than MW, and most popular games.

The guys and gals at Bungie have evidently had a LOT of time to polish everything up and make an incredible game, while they've also learned a LOT of things about what people want, and what to take out/new things to put in.

So, will Reach top all games on the market upon its release? Yes. I don't doubt it. Will it be better than MW2? Yes, for sure. Especially with being released nearly a year after MW2, Reach should be the FULL Halo game, with the graphics, the gameplay, and the story we've all be waiting for that will top the market for quite some time, just like Halo 3 has done.

But with MW3 come out soon after and act as a strong competition? Not a doubt in my mind that it will... Will that novelty last as long as Reach? I don't think so...

Don't get me wrong, I love MW2, but... Halo just has something about it. That in my opinion makes it 10x more fun than MW campaign and multiplayer.

and don't worry, while i don't agree with everyone's opinion, i do respect everyone's opinion.

I really don't see how you can compare the campaigns. After finally sitting down with MW2, I found the single player campaign an incredible disappointment, not only is the action created to cover the plot holes and the barely believable story, but at a five hour campaign, I'm just ashamed of the entire situation.

While I did play MW2 several months ago, I would have thought these glaring problems could have been fixed in some way. I strongly believe they should stick to WW2, MW2 is a crashing example of how to not do something right.

all of you Halo fans need to SHUTUP this guy has a great point playing COD takes a HUGE amount of skill for example and i know what takes the most skill unlike NOOBS that play Halo the thing that takes the most skill in COD is this

stand in one spot and pull the trigger
if you can do this you will win every game
i dont know if there is anything harder
but if you can do that you are a PRO at COD
thats right i know that takes a lot of skill doesn't it?
dont answer that i know i know what you are thinking
i wish i had that much skill
only the BEST COD players can do that
Beat THAT Halo.

Sure it's not just a dude with a wig? Girls like the halos the most.

Military shooters kind of bore me. Why would I want to shoot weapons that exist today when I can shoot crazy awesome futuristic weapons like a spartan laser, or drive around in an anti-gravity purple glossy killing machine, or shove a glowing blue ball of energy up someone's arse and watch em asplode! That's much more interesting. Plus, Halo's story and campaign are far superior and far more interesting than MW2's. That being said I can see how some people might like MW2 better, but not this guy. Halo all the way for me.

Eh...WHAT??? Please elaborate. Plot holes? Where? Barely believable srory?? Are you out of your mind?? Sure, the campaign was on the short side, but the rest of your statement sounds like you're talking out of your ass! PLEASE elaborate on your points.

I'm sure when Reach comes out MW2 will be kicked off the throne. MW2 will have been out for quite a while and people will slowly start coming back to Halo 3, even ODST. When the Reach Beta comes out expect a sharp drop in MW2 games played.

But they are both great games and a great series. My preference though will always be Halo...

  • 11.12.2009 8:31 AM PDT

im kinda late on this but um, Reach will not do numbers that MW2 did because MW2 is multiplatform, where Reach isnt.

MW2 Spoilers!





****MW2 SPOILERS- AGAIN!****

The saddest part for me was definately the death of Roach and Ghost. That scene was so goddamn well done, that it was tear jerking. Epic and amazing. And the score was heartbreaking. General Shepherd was a bastard.


Ah, but see, I had a serious bone to pick with that little plot twist. I think infinity ward made a big mistake killing Roach and ghost. Not only did it jar the character, due to him being ripped from the character he had played as the ENTIRE game, but it also destroyed all new characters that remained, leaving only old characters to be played. That in mind, I feel the last level felt not only as if you'd already lost, but also even more like the first modern warfare. I'm not going to say I didn't enjoy the game, but I think it the end would have been exponentially better if they had left roach or ghost alive to be played on the last level.

Reach = powerful force
MW2 = semi-powerful force
Reach wins by 1 yay!
