Microsoft compares Halo to Call of Duty

Halo series for Xbox 360 are better!

How do they compare, other than the fact that they're both shooters? CoD is basically a game of hide and seek with guns. TAG! You're out! 2-5 bullet death. There's no skill involved. Then there's Halo. If a lesser skilled player starts shooting you in the back, you still have the opportunity to outrun and return or turn around and best them.

Ok, bigger guns are stronger in COD, an MG,beats a pistol, but getting kills in COD is mostly about who sees who first, or camping, because of the low health, lack of a proper radar, accurate scoped powerfull guns etc. most encounters are over in a flash.

Halo was always built to prevent cheap kills like that, many encounters in halo can turn into messy, fun and exciting dogfights. In halo you don't take an enemy down by doing a quick zoom and releasing a few bullets, or by doing a quick spray at close range. No, depending on the weapon you have to keep your reticule firmly on the enemy for up to a 3 full seconds. Halo takes true skill and has an extensive learning curve, while call of duty takes luck, gadgets and perks and any noob can get the hang of it in half an hour.

Reading how Halo is getting influenced by COD is not making me happy. Luckily, from the looks of it they've kept it to a minimun.

The two games that I'm tired of hearing about.. And like Madden is getting played out to the fullest

 both are equally shitty fps games in my eyes any fps game that has this sit and hide and regen health bs  I ignore. What happen to the days of health packs and actual picking your battles and conserving ones health to get to end of leave???

I tell you where they went they went all Sit and hide and regen health path for the lil kiddies that dont know how to think other then run in and gun and ahide then regen and do it agian

wait what...an arena type fps says its not about the bigger guns? gota be kidding me

they have different take on what's balance and what's not. unless you want to dump a whole clip on to your opponent in multiplayer.

CoD is soo played out. They should have killed it after Modern Warfare 2. Halo 3 was good Halo 1 was the best and Halo Reach sucked. Halo 4 i probably wont be buying that nor will i buy CoD Black ops 2.

* Briefly glances at angry comments, leaves computer to hang out with girlfirend.

I dont think they are anything alike other than being FPS. As far as balance goes yeah that went out the window in Halo 3. The first Halo had by far the most balanced multiplayer, its a damn shame they didnt bring that back with the anniversary edition.

Only good thing about COD is trolling mutliplayer on steam free weekends.

"he said Halo is different than Call of Duty because it does not favor the player with the "bigger gun."

What do you call rocket launchers. 

I am probably gonna be the only one saying both games are good, right ?

What's the point here? They both suck, long live Serious Sam.

COD is the new Madden of the millennium.

At least Halo isnt out (what feels like) every 6 months.

There are to many COD's they need to ease up a bit.

SMDFH Halo and COD released just a week apart. MS is goner loss some money on this

Neither are my games, but I'll admit they both melted quite a few faces.

Halo is to Futuristic Space Alien  Sci-Fi for me to be a good shooter game.

I like COD for the realistic shooter style but once u have played COD u have played them all. 

Getting sick of both games to tell u the truth...

Oh come now. Halo hasn't gotten THAT bad yet!

I don't like Halo nor Call of Duty... so I guess my opinion wouldn't matter anyway.

the difference between halo and cod is i still enjoy halo where as i am fed up of cod being threwn in my face.

Somewhere in Bungieland, someone is pretty cross I bet. Microsoft really goofed up this time.

A lot of the same people who claim Halo is overrated will be the first ones to grab a copy once it's released. Hypocrites.

I enjoy both of those franchises, but I enjoy them actually more for their single player, instead of their multiplayer. I know they're both extremely popular for their multiplayer, but Ive really loved the campaigns in each, not to mention the coop that's been implemented lately.

They are both boring, generic shooters... So yeah; I can dig it!

says the guy whose game also has a rocket launcher, sticky grenades, a high powered sniper, a 1 hit shotgun and a sword that kills in one hit. I would say it's the exact opposite.
