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.
