What can I say.....I own them both.....getting great pleasure from either side!......but if I could only choose one.....it would have to be Halo 3, just for the fact that I'm a huge Master Chief fan! But never get me wrong......I still and always will be a lover of the two games!......play each quite often!

I don't think Gears is a bad game but just personally I think the gameplay is a little too slow-paced and kinda boring.

I can understand why one would compare these two, they are one of the biggest games for the 360. But I gotta tell ya dude, these games are really different from another right.. so why compare?

Yo yo yo, whats better?

halo 3 was pretty good, but waaay overhyped. It brang almost nothing new to the table, except equipment.

Gears was AWESOME, it was original and just plain fun.

gears all the way.

Hard to choose because Gears came out in a time where there was absolutely no shooting competition for it and it just completely dominated where as halo 3 came out in a time where there was too much competition in the shooting genre so It's hard to choose, but I would choose Halo 3 because they both are kind of in a standstill between single player and graphics because both are very good, but I would choose halo 3 because I think it dominates gears in that area. Gears is 4v4 conter strike type play switching rounds 1 life, it gets repetitive. Halo 3 switches it up more you got more options, you can make your own maps/gametypes and then theres matchmaking and custom games. Halo 3 brings more to the table which is why I chose it.

Definitley Gears of War

In Halo 3, if someone shoots you from behind, 99.8% you're dead. And the maps are way too big for midgets to be running around to be shooting each other

While in Gears of War the cover system, let's you to retreat,and replenish health. It takes a lot more strategy in Gears of War

Graphics wise - Halo 3 looks like it belongs on Original Xbox, while Gears of War is NEXT-GEN

Gameplay wise - Halo 3's gameplay is lame and boring, while Gears of War is fun and unique.

Sound wise - Weapons in Halo 3 sound lame and fake, while Gears of War sounds like your apart of a real battle. Explosions sound real and you can hear them from across the map..

You are officially a **** moron to think that Halo 3 is somehow better. Even on the worst network connections, Gears of War still plays much smoother than the average Halo 3 multiplayer. Campaign/story in Gears actually was compelling. Halo 3's campaign was just an excuse for bungie to turn a campaign into another multiplayer mode by making it mandatory to find three other jack asses to play with if you ever want to finish it on Legendary in a reasonable amount of time. Halo's 3's A.I. was between challenging and murderous, but only by being able to shoot faster and hurt you more. Gears' was more interesting because even when you reload a particular chapter/checkpoint, the A.I. will change tactics too, instead of just running toward you firing everything they got like halo's does SO **** OFTEN.

I owned both games but i will have to say Gears. Gears of war has good graphics and gameplay. Halo 3 is nothing new,its the same as Halo and Halo 2. So, Halo 3 is not that interesting.

The scarb explosion is bigger then any in Gears, and the lancer sound so underpowered.

How was Gears Unique?

And no, halo did not even look close to a original Xbox game. I also noticed in your sig you say Halo's campaign had no story and had a bad conclusion. Makes me wonder how you fell about the single player for Gears.

These games are too different to put head to head in a comparason. They both have diferent elements that make both of them a unique shooter. Both games offer a diferent experience in campaign, and multiplayer that make both games shine in a different way.

I'm a fan of both, but honestly, Halo 3 is heavily over-rated. It feels like it's geared towards a much younger crowd, which I don't like. Everything is so bright and clean, and the story was extremely boring. The multiplayer was okay, but I honestly can't stand the people on X-Box live so that pretty much kills my interest in it.

Gears of War just felt so much more gritty, violent, serious, and dark. At the risk of getting flamed by dozens of middle-schoolers, I have to admit thatGoW makes Halo look like a Disney movie. Not to mention the cooperative mode was much more fun. Four-player coop is cool, but GoW was just so much better.

SentientGames

Agreed. Halo=way over rated

Gears= perfection.

People who didn't like Gears must have been turned off by the difficulty. Halo 3 is accessible to even 3rd graders. It's geared toward kids. ANybody get teh feeling though that gears of war purposely named the game that so it sounded like God of War? I mean there was nothing in the game really that said those guys were gears except for some quick dialouge saying it in passing.. Just my two cents.

Gears has better gameplay and graphics.

Halo has better matchmaking.

Overall, Gears is better.

skullkrusher13

Gears has better gameplay if you play the game the way its ment to be played. Instead of a shotty fest and get yelled at using the lancer.

Both Communities suck, But to me the gears of war community is by far the worst ive seen.

Halo 3 would get my vote for the fun factor. Gearsonlineis worse, but could be 10 x better than it is now.

um...you honnestly dont know were GEARS comes from?!?! Isnt it the military group that there in COG? and dont cogs form gears? so if Marcus is a cog, then hes in the gears military group...get back on track..halo 3 is more bright and clean because thats its art style, not DESTROYED BEAUTY like gears of war. Every game has its own style and halos art style just attracks a lot of kids.

Everyone just started to dislike Halo for getting awards and selling the best all the time, so it's gotten' popular to hate it now. Or at least for idiots anyway.

EPIC can't help the fact that the gaming world is 20%GAME LOVERS, and 80% Halo Fanboys. They are number one in my book, and number 1 in the books of 87 of my LIVE friends
