Reach could use the Halo 3 engine again and it would still be better than MW2.

Bungie is a heck of a developer, and they're going to make Reach the best title to ever hit the 360 (seeing as the NextBox will likely ship in 2011). By then, even MORE people will own a 360, and Reach will make a killing.

I forgot you could see the future.

If they DID use the Halo 3 engine again, many people would be very upset. I've already seen people flamimg about how they would hate Bungie if that were to happen. Plus that's just lazy on Bungie's part. And, who knows? Modern Warfare 3 could step up to the plate, and might even knock Reach out of the park. Lately, Infinity Ward has been catching up to Bungie.

Modern Warfare 3 will do the same thing 2 did. Rehash the old Quake 2 engine again, change the weapons, and release nearly the exact same game.

Infinity Ward isn't exactly the most popular developer on the market at the moment, considering how they've nerfed the PC version.

A developer who is catching up to Bungie, especially in the '30 seconds of fun' area is DICE. Bad Company was pretty darn good.

I'll admit Bad Company was average, it could have done without the comdey, but it wasn't great. The destructable cover was cool, but whilst Modern Warfare 2 may have a good campaign, it's even stronger in Multiplayer. While Halo may have a cartoony gameplay experience, MW brings on the realism. Having to check corners and use cover is vidal in MW, as apposed to Halo's most used tactic: power weapons.

Let me rephrase.

Halo games = Fail.

CoD Games = Win.

Halo Universe = Win.

I hate Halo's games. I just like the novels.


Total Games: 2,780

GTFO MY INTERNET BOY!

If you're going to be a CoD fanboy at least be that ALONE and not also a hypocrite.

A large community? Yes.

But Infinity Ward isn't a loyal game dev. They stabbed the PC community in the back (ironic, considering CoD got its start on the PC), they've made a whole bunch of stupid statements, they killed the Xbox Live Party system, the list goes on. They're not loyal in the same way Bungie, Valve, or id is.

CoD is all power weapons. Put stopping power on any gun and run around pissing. And CoD is hardly realistic.

I love it when I hear how 'realistic' CoD is. Taking multiple bullets to the chest and recovering is 'realistic'.

Firing a .50 caliber sniper rifle from the hip is 'realistic'.

Yep, that's realism all right.

Valve also fails, except for Half Life and portal. Left 4 Dead is terrible, and as far as I'm concerned, the second is no different. I'll admit, the highlights of what makes MW so successful are the moments like these, but the rest of it is pretty damn good, too.

Halo isn't realistic in any means at all, though.

  • 11.14.2009 10:58 PM PDT

Left 4 Dead is terrible...

You wound me. Left 4 Dead is awesome.

  • 11.14.2009 10:59 PM PDT

But Halo isn't marketed as realistic, nor has Bungie ever claimed it was.

Agreed on the Valve thing but that level in CoD was extremely boring and was in no way a 'highlight'.

  • 11.14.2009 11:00 PM PDT

5 hour campaign > Halo 3 campaign for sure.

You know what really sucks about CoD.
Takes 2 years to make the exact same multiplayer as the original, use the exact same engine and create a 5 hour campaign. Well done Infinity Ward, you have raped all other games that stand in your way.

  • 11.14.2009 11:03 PM PDT

Halo is set in a sci-fi universe. And there are shields, which regenerate.

MW is 'modern' and 'realistic'.

Also, the Sniper Rifle fires a 14.5 MM round, not a .50 caliber.

You're one of the poor SoBs that played L4D solo, aren't you?

Really. Just GTFO. You're a tired excuse for a troll. I understand that MW2 is probably a great game but the lack of dedicated servers for PC and the fact that Kodick wants nothing more than to destroy the industry from within by milking any dev team with talent means I will never buy another game with Activision on the package. So help me God your the worst kind of fanboy there is. You played 2,780 games and yet here you are talking down to Halo 3. Really just GTFO. You're an idiot and everyone in the thread knows it.

We are all going to get banned aren't we?

the people that compare MWF2 to Halo ODST understand that OSDT is an expansion and not a full game? comparing halo 3 to MWF2 isn't really fare ether seeing how halo 3 is now 3 years old it's more accurate to compare halo 3 to MWF than the second one.

  • 11.14.2009 11:10 PM PDT

They're just trolling.

Halo 3 is better than Modern Warfare, in many ways. It's still one of the definitive titles of this generation, with Forge, theater modes, good, solid gameplay, spectacular graphics, good physics, etc.

So a Two shot kill with any gun is not a power weapon?
