I think he means MW2 isn't on the same level as halo 3.

I completely agree with the OP. I hate the fact that Halo 3s maps have been talored to fit many different game types. I hate the fact that there is more to do than simply kill the enemy. I hate the fact that I don't spawn and then I'm instantly killed by a harrier. And do you know what I hate the most? I can't camp and get cheap easy kills. I actually have to work to get a kill on halo. I mean wtf bungie...

Best sarcasm EVER!!!

The reason why halo is still living today is because of the ranking system. Everyone is always trying to get a general, but the credit system is just boring. They should call reach, CoD: Reach. I had cod and it got boring after a week.

There is a reason why CoD:MW2 beats it so bad in terms of players.


Oh Snap, a three year old game knocked from the no.1 spot to the no.2 spot by a game less than a year old.

The three year old game most be SOOOOOOOOOOOO bad ;)

i think mw2 is the worst game ever

Alright RFG123.

1. Halo is made for hardcore gamers. CoD is made for the casual gamer. You can conclude this from how easy it is to kill with any weapon in call of duty. Where Halo takes skill. So casual gamers drop out of games alot. They dont really care. Halo fans on average are much more committed to their game. CoD is broke because I cant even remember how many times I was in a game by myself against 3 or 4 guys on the other team. Or when theres 2 people on my team and the other team has like 6.

2. Halo maps are made for function first. That is why they have level designers create the geometry befor the artists make it all pretty. CoD has cut so many corners in there game. From crappy shadows and low res static skyboxes. To 2D bushes and smoke layered to look like 3D. Halo does this too but for small pieces of grass, not a whole tree. BTW what weapon sets are you talking about. M16 pwns all the time everytime. Thats why all the pros use it. CoD is homogonized. I could go on but Ièm bored. You should know better.

no your just mad because you cant win in halo 3 ,and used of playing cod 6 that you make halo 3 fans mad. so dont bag on the game.

A Hell Jumper - Heroic, a Spartan - Legendary, be We're Mythic; Spartan Mythic Team.
Mythic Actual / Mythic 1
Post to everyone who complains about Reach instead of shutting up and playing something else. http://initiativedesignz.webs.com/HaloReachStuff/Fixn.jpg

1. is 100% true
2. I really don't see how CoDs maps support functinality over Halo's
3. You cannot rank up in Halo unless you go into ranked and increase your SKILL lvl. Yeah you can heighten the tier of your rank but your still that one thing until you go on ranked and prove how good you are (it dosen't JUST track K/D to increase you, it requires much much more)
4.Its rare to not know how you died unless you are honestly inexperienced in paying attention to your surroundings and enemies who often pass you dead body.

Just saying in the 2010 Gineus Book of World Records. The Halo series was voted #1 better than call of duty.:P

OP:

umadbro?

MW2 wasn't even a finished game. Infinity Ward wasn't finished with all the coding before they released it. I will admit that MW2 can sometimes be fun with friends in Spec Ops or in local matches, but online? Complete trash. Go troll somewhere else. GTFO.

  • 07.05.2010 8:59 AM PDT

There may not be a "I" in team, but there is a "I" in Win.

ppl only complain about halo cuz it takes skill. cod players think halo sucks cuz u cant spray and kill in cod u can kill in 5 shots with a automatic gun and in halo it practially takes the whole ar clip and melee to kill
famas and br sorta similar right? both 3 shot guns
lets c 2 famas body burst will kill guy in halo like 4 br body burst and melee kill
cod is so popular cuz lil kids can go spray and -blam!- 25 yr old and in halo the 25 yr old will br u in the face and u will go whine cuz u thought u cld -blam!- them with ar spray
cod is alright but halo takes way more skill than cod

  • 07.05.2010 9:54 AM PDT

There may not be a "I" in team, but there is a "I" in Win.

on halop sure u cant get ur quitter replaced but most likely if ur playing ss u can still win 4v5 cuz all of ur other teams r 10yr olds and if ur the only one left hide or camp ur base and hope for best the other team will think ur awesome cuz u didnt quit

  • 07.05.2010 9:56 AM PDT

I agree with you completely I just hate MW2 because of all of the modders, hackers, and noobs. Halo 3 is a very balanced game while MW2 just is terrible... just use noob tubes or rpgs or anything explosive and you'll easily win.

Unsuccessfully trying to bring science and reason to The Flood...

ive played COD. and it sucks SO bad compared to halo.

1. Lag. Ive never had a good connection in a game of COD. it just constantly teleports me round the map until i get shot by a guy from nowhere.

2. Killing Spree rewards. Players who are doing well are rewarded by being able to dominate lesser players more easily. Therefore making the game even more unfair.

3. Cheating. It is full of it. nuff said. (ive seen the youtuve videos)

4. Prestige levels. Kids and -blam!- wits who just play the game non stop and prestige 10 times then think they are a better person than you because of it.

5. Awful maps. Each one is pretty much exactly the same but with a different skin.


I could on but i think that the fact that you posted this on Bungie.net is the most retarded thing ive seen in a week

CoD MW2 is for grubs.
Absolutly no skill required in its multiplayer, hence the name call of duty scrubs running a muck 2.

  • 07.05.2010 10:14 AM PDT

Don't worry, you're still your mom's favorite Bnet member.

No, CoD's sucks.

1. Spawning. I will die 4 times in a row from the enemy team being in the perfect position to kill me right after I spawn. I would think the game would just spawn me somewhere else, but no. The same place. Over and over and over.

2. Custom Classes. "Damn these guys are good, I wish I could get an overpowered weapon and blow them to hell OH WAIT I CAN!" Halo is better because people actually have to fight for the better weapon. The better man wins the fight, and the better man leaves with that rocket in The Pit.

3. Campaign is just training for Multiplayer. When I play Halo, every game mode (campaign, matchmaking, forge, custom games) feels like a different experience. I seamlessly go from one to the other, enjoying a totally different experience, each one as awesome as the other. When I play CoD's single player, I feel like all they did was say "let's make a really long MM tutorial and call it campaign."

4. The maps SUCK. You heard me. They SUCK. Halo's maps flow better than CoD's. Please, explain what the hell Sub Base is supposed to be built for. CoD's maps are just random things thrown in a square area and called a map. THere is no rhyme or reason to it. Halo's maps, however, each serve a purpose. The Pit-competitive Team Slayer and CTF. Each map can clearly be seen as either a one sided (High Ground), two sided symmetric (Avalanche), or FFA (Blackout) map. And what's even better is while these maps are tailored for one gametype or the other, they can easily be used for another.

5. That game takes no skill, where Halo does. You must admit CoD is made for the casual gamer, where Halo is more tailored to the competitive guys. Granted, a casual can pick up a gun and have a blast in Halo. However, you die in like four bullets in CoD, where as in Halo the kill times are much longer. That creates skill gap. CoD kids get mad because they can't spray and pray with the AR, where instead they need to time their shots and aim. SKILL.

6. Kill streak rewards. Please, explain how any player can shine above another. It's either no one stands out because everyone's getting a UAV, or that kid the next morning is bragging about how he got 10 nukes last night. It just further supports camping, and gives people a stupid reason to sit in one spot the whole game. "Enemy AC-130!" Die, spawn, die, spawn, die, spawn, die, spawn. Yeah, the guy who got that AC-130 definitely deserves for an AI to do his killing.Which comes full circle with point 1-ridiculous spawn kills.

You know what's funny? I got bored of Halo 3 last night and put CoD in. Not even five minutes in I was bored of it and complaining about all the crap I just listed, even when I was dominating. I cannot stand that game for ten minutes, literally.

Of COURSE Halo has less players than CoD. CoD came out months ago, Halo 3 is almost 4 years old! Amazingly, it's still on that list of most online games. The casuals flock to what's hot. They'll soon enough abandon CoD as well.

While I will give you that CoD's ranking system is superior to Halo 3's, I find Halo: Reach's superior to CoD's. So, um...GTFO.

Too Many Tryhards in Halo
All i play wen i ever play are customs

-Atwood 45-

I play cod on GB and stuff i can assure you the maps in Call of duty MW2 are not good maps they are all bad. Except for Karachi SND.

  • 07.05.2010 10:43 AM PDT

The absence of evidence is not the evidence of absence. Simply because something does exist doesn't mean something doesn't exist. There are known knowns and there are known unknowns, but there's also unknown unknowns, things that we don't know that we don't know.

I kind of agree with what your're saying as far as how when you have a quitter under some circumstances yes you are screwed. But going in on my 50 in team slayer there has been plenty of times when we lost a player and still dominated simply because We were better and played smarter because Halo takes SKILL COD to me is the easiest multi-player game ever. Not trying to brag but i literally get a nuke 1 in every 3 games becuase it is just so freaking easy.

But at least the designers built them around weaponsets and not just to look good.


I'm wondering what you're talking about right now, because there are no 'weapon sets' in Call of Duty multiplayer. All the players get to make their own classes, so there's no way possible that Infinity Ward could have predicted the class makeups of players in each and every map and match. Furthermore, if there is a game that's got multiplayer maps designed around weapons, it's Halo. There are actually weapons on the map.
