As for those of you who say “Call of Duty 4 requires no skill” probably haven’t ever tried to take an enemy HQ with an M14 and M1911, alone. It’s not easy, and it does require a small bit of planning, but it can be as simple as “Flash and Clear.” not “I’ll throw two plasmas, and if nothing moves on Motion Tracker [Often wrongfully referred to as RADAR, which Call of Duty possesses], I’ll run in with my Rocket Launcher and Gravity Hammer like the total badass (read: Heavy Noob) I am”. And for the few who say “You can’t be stealthy!”, Yes, you can. UAV Jammer, and just not shooting at EVERY little thing that moves can mean the difference between getting the drop on a pain-in-the-ass sniper, and being killed 3 blocks away from him. It’s also known as DISCRETION.

And yes, the explosion in Call of Duty’s campaign was overtly real, disturbing in a sense. Remember where you were fighting (The Azerbaijani area of the Middle East), however, and it becomes faintly scary. Does the Iyatollah ring any bells? The Iranians have nukes. And they dislike us. Thankfully, they have no MIRVs, let alone large, scary Cold War missiles. Less Thankfully, we have no Captain Price or Soap incase of said Missiles.

Yes, Halo 3 has awesome, sometimes spectacular moments in both Campaign (Most of the level Covenant) and Multiplayer (Steppin’ Razor was insane to pull off, but so worth the effort), not to mention Forge mode and the previously unheard of the included-in-game Screenshot and Movie makers.. as well as the huge fanbase it garnered from Halo: Combat Evolved (the best of the series!) and Halo 2 (the worst of the series…), but Call of Duty 4 just has Halo 3 beat.

COD4
- Excellent grafics (better than halo)
- realistic waepons
- Interesting campaign
- easy multiplayer kills (that doesnt mean multiplayer sucks)
- first person to see you is the one to kill you
- Its real and fun, it makes you feel like an SAS or Marine.
- Strategies can be outsmarted easily (if you place someone in this corner and you intend to flank, all of a sudden a chopper comes by and takes you both down O_O?)
- The most skilled player are the snipers (more patient, smarter, more skiled) but not everyone can be a sniper can they? Now, at sniping, you need to look for a building, hill, wall with a hole that will be youre place, claymores are essential for door in which the enemy can enter, sniping is stealth, camouflage, acuracy, recon and al that stuff
- camping is not the same as sniping, camping is waiting behind a corner for someone to barely notice you and take him down, thats no skill.

Theres no better game, I like both, both are great, it just depends on how you play or what you look for in a game(fun, skill, teamwork, real-time strategy).

that’s all

People who think Halo 3 is best:

Go play COD4 for 3 days. You’ll like it.

People who think COD4 is better:

Go play Halo 3 on L.E.G.E.N.D.A.R.Y. Difficulty. With all skulls on. When you die by the thousands, you will stop you bitching about how easy it is. Then look at the environments, and crank down the brightness.

Frankly, comparing a Sci-Fi with a 21st Century shoo-em-up isn’t just cause to flip out. Deal with it. Show some maturity. And respect both games.
