Hey out of gears of war, call of duty 4 and halo 3 which one should I get? I want a game that has a fast paced multiplayer, i don't give a donkeys balls about singleplayer, and I want something that will give me a thrilling and heart-pumping experience online. I've got COD3, but it isn't as thrilling as I'd liked it to be...

Please state why in your answer. :D

Heart pumping online experience? Definately Gears of war. This has to be one of the best, if not the best, online game i've ever played.

4v4 gives you the chance to work as a team and get up close and personal with the other team. Really gives the shooting game a new meaning.

I like Shooters, they're all shooters, but which one has a truly great online experience? I can only get ONE of these games.

I have all three games and If you want non-stop action, COD4 is the game you want. In the other two people camp and hide in the most messed up places so it get's annoying. They're both good games, but you'll be more satisfied with Call of Duty.

Its a hard decision... between Gears and COD4. Ill be honest I've had a more thrilling time in gears then COD4. Its just so badass to be the last person on your team alive and there are 3 guys on the other team... and you wipe em out. its an awesome feeling. I just dont get that in COD4. if your looking for teamwork, you will have a better experience in Gears over COD4. But COD4 also has some pretty addictive gameplay.

You should just sell you soul and get Gears and COD4.

I have to say Gears or CoD4. To me Halo doesn't belong on the list of trilling and heart pumping.

Between the two, I have to say Gears of War. It does get very intense plus the co-op is excellent. CoD4 is also instense and thrilling, but I like Gears online a bit more then CoD4.

get Call of Duty 4 because it has a better multiplayer experience, but imo Gears of War comes in a close second becasue of the CO-OP.

I think he meant that Gears is a tactical shooter and the others are fps. I would say COD4 I've always enjoyed Halos mp andI loves Gears' sp, but COD4's mp just looks freakin' amazing.

Gears is great.. but for heart pounding non-stop action go with COD 4, graphics are top-notch, unlockables are awesome.. and to top it all off, it runs at a sold 60 frames per second.

In this order from best to worst (imo): CoD4-Gears- Halo 3. Also, Gears is alot better on the PC, so if it can handle it, get it for your PC.

NOT HALO 3... it's a rental at best.

If you want a good game, Gears or COD4 will do you right. Both are fun to play online and both have great (although, short) single player campaigns. The only downfall I see in COD4 is that there is no CO-OP mode for the campaign... It's 2007... come on now every shooter in which the player is surrounded by a team in the campaign should have a CO-OP mode.

COD4 sucks for the sole reason of prestige mode.

lol. You don't HAVE to do prestige mode. Gears gets repetitive extremely quick, but with COD4 there is always some challenge to unlock and tons of weapons to choose from. I never understood this fascination with Gears.

Definatley Cod4.

there are several games such as free for all. where its just all against all deathmatch,, and more tactical games like team tac. which is 3v3, there is also search and destroy where you have to work as a team to destroy/defend the objective.

the game play is exellent and there are different rewards for weapons.. e.g get 150 kills you get an ACOG scope.

I own all 3. My favorite would be Gears. I get a thrilling experience from it. I can get into it, but I don't find COD4 or Halo as much of an experience for me

If you want a good multiplayer it would be Gears, but it's in the process of dying. So get Call of Duty4.

People camp in Gears of War and not in COD4? If that is what you think, you have to be one of the dumbest people I have ever met in my life. Go back and play COD4 and name 1 game you played without any campers. Oh wait, you can't because everyone camps in that game. Everybody who plays that game knows or even actually have camped before, so don't bulls*** me kid.

to say that Gears is dying is the same as saying that people hate video games. just plan stupid. lol...there are so many fresh gamers playing it, because of GOW 2. People want to know about it. Gears > COD4. why? cuz in gears when you get shot in the face, your head explodes. when you get hit with an explosive, you BLOW UP. not just fall to ground. lol...

I have all three so personally I would say get all three. All three games have different play styles, so I wouldn't go by anyone's word here because you should try them yourself and see which ones you like because in "MY" opinion they are all great. But starting this topic here is like throwing water on a grease fire because so many people love or hate all three for different reasons.

There are campers in every multiplayer shooting game in the known universe. Camping is a part of life so you might as well get some hersey chocolate bars, some graham crackers, and some marshmallows and make smores. ;)

COD4!!! it is a super fun game with amazing graphics. infinity ward (maker of cod4) put more time into making the multiplayer than the single-player, so if you dont care about the single-player, COD4 is perfect for you! HOORAH!
