For Me, Call of Duty 4 makes me want to shelf Halo 3 for good.

Being that I am a big Halo fan and like the great online shooter thing, I thought I was enjoying Halo 3...alright. I agree with many that the game was very much overhyped, and quite frankly got pretty frustrated with the online issues and waiting(online for a game). I put all this aside and enjoyed it for what it was...a fun multiplayer with friends. This was until I recently rented Call of Duty 4. While I agree that the games are geared towards a different crowd, even a big Halo fan such as me has to admit...Call of Duty 4 wipes the floor. Framerate, easiness to get into an online game, to nearly lag free gaming. I am hooked, and can see why this recently become the #1 played game on Xbox live.

Halo 3, it was nice knowing ya.

I feel exactly the same. Halo 3 is all I used to play but I haven't touched it since I got CoD4. Main reason is because there isn't any cheap weapon combos like in Halo. Plus the experience points and ranking system give me a reason to keep playing it. And being able to choose your weapon class + customizing it is great too.

My only complaint with CoD4 is that the game ends when the host disconnects (and ithappens way too often). Hopefully they'll fix that in the next patch though.

I still prefer Halo 3.

I like COD4, but it can get a tad boring online after awhile (not forever, I just get sick of playing it that day, then am ready to go the next time).

They're two entirely different games though. Halo 3 is more run and gun and head on combat, and COD 4 is more lie in wait and take your time. Both very fun experiences.

The "high-pitched voice, whiny, 11 yr. old ratio" is also much higher in Halo 3 vs. CoD4. Yet another reason to chose CoD4.

I havn't played Halo3 since COD4 came out.

Kind of true. It's replaced by the "Low voiced, douchebaggish 16-30 year old who has gone prestige 3 times and thinks he's God." Yet another reason both games are awesome.

Halo 3 is better because you can have more than one player per box. If you have friends, Halo is better.
