Call of Duty 4 dubbed game of the year at Interactive Achievement Awards

The name says it all, I suppose.

Halo is far from garbage. The millions of copies that it has sold and the solid reviews that it got say otherwise. It is not game of the year material, but it is a solid game and a solid franchise.

That being said, Call of Duty 4 is hands down the better game across the board.

Millions of people eat dog meat...


Just 'cos lots of people do something doesn't mean that they are right or that everyone else should agree.

@Dan lol totally agreed

I'm sorry but Halo sold well because frankly, ITS HALO. Not because its a good game, but because of the brand. Thats like saying Half Life 3 will sell millions. AMAZING! You mean a strong franchise is going to sell well? Gordon freeman could spend the whole game in a single rooms pissing on the walls to solve physics puzzles and it would be hailed as innovative and amazing. Just cause Halo 3 got near perfect scores doesn't make it a good game. Sure it had some interesting features, etc but lets face it, its a friggen bloom tech demo.

I always forget that quality and popularity are mutually exclusive.

Because you much more prefer killing realistic humans in your games? Because you like trudging along on foot? I found cod4 single player very linear, almost like I was playing house of the dead, but instead of zombies I was fighting humans, the whole thing felt like it was on rails. I did not like multiplayer either. So what I am saying is Halo3>cod4, and we will agree to disagree and call it a day, shall we?

Boo-fuckin-hoo. Halo is a good game. I'm sorry if that upsets both "hardcore FPS fans" and detractors alike, but that doesn't make it untrue. CoD4, however, is a *better* game and deserving of every award and accolade that it garners.

Quality and popularity aren't mutually exclusive, but at least sales numbers are measurable. Yeah, we can get a metareview comparison and see where everyone rates two games, but it really comes down to personal preference sometimes.

For example, I played COD4 for two hours and hated it. I play Halo 3 a few hours a week. Guess what game I'd vote for if those were my only choices (my GOTY is Super Mario Galaxy...).

No u r garbage.


Halo 3 is pretty damn good,I really don't know why people love COD4 so much.Hey but that's me,The orange box was my GOTY.

While I'm a Halo Fanboy, I don't see a point in this flame war as all the shit that you're trying to throw at Halo, can be flinged all the way back at Call of Duty.


PS: The Orange Box owns them all! Almost every single award should be given to TOB!

Amen.

Half-life 2 story is great and even when Episode 2 ending sucked Portal and Team Fortress make up for that,now is anyone interested in the "With friends like these.." achievement,that's the last TM2 achievement I need.

Halo 3 wasn't bad at all, but certainly wasn't the second coming that M$ promoted it to be.

COD4 deserves all the praise it can get, because it earned it the old fashioned way, and not with cat helmets and yak-piss flavored mountain dew.

Obie-

I always wondered what Game Fuel tasted like. Now I don't have to. Thank you for your selfless sacrifice.

"Yak piss"...lolz...

For some reason I consider Halo 3 more like an adventure game, mostly for the vehicles.

If you ask me Halo 3 did right what other FPS never could including “Half-life 2”. Good vehicle control, is not perfect but is the best I've seen so far, for example the Dogfights were simply awesome.

Basically Halo 3 improved alot including scenery and it never felt as repetitive as COD4.

COD4 is great but only if you play it on the PC or PS3 in the Xb360 is somehow awful. For example the last veteran mission is impossible because you need a lot of precision something you don’t get with the XB360 controller (Same with Portal, the time challenges are impossible with the XB360 controller).

The story is decent and better than the one in AC, the graphics are good but the only thing that makes COD4 awesome are the visual effects.COD4 is shorter than Halo 3,I played the game in Veteran and while it was extremely hard it doesn’t last long. By the end of Act 2 you have pretty much experienced all what COD4 has to offer.

Now is still a great game but for some reason people Hate halo 3 because all the massive hype while praise COD4 just for not being Halo.

Multiplayer wise both games are full aholes but I loved the way you can customize your character in Cod4 but the Knife melee somehow sucks, in Halo 3 I love the variety of maps and modes but the melee also sucks and for some reason Zombie matches are not playable in Ranked.

Now I’m not the kind of guy that would play Multiplayer more than a month so thanks Infinity guard for not making online obligatory for the achievements. Halo 3 was pretty cool while it lasted,COD4 feels somehow dry still awesome, the voice acting is great and the gameplay (expect for the stupid grenade indicator and XB360 controller) was good but is hardly one of my favorite games.

The game is polished in many regards, but it fails to stand up and deliver like the messiah that it's supposed to. It's a well made, quality product, but there are better ones on the market.

I dunno, after watching both Shootout:Battle for Falluja and a bunch of embedded journalist's videos from Afghanistan and Iraq last night, I'm inclined to believe that while not exactly accurate, CoD4 seems to retain the tone of actual modern warfare.

At the very least, like its WWII brother, the game is realistic enough to convince me that war is something I never EVER want to be involved in.

The awards do cover a wide variety of concepts, but they're missing a few genres (like Puzzle, Music, platformer, FPS separate), plus they make no mention of excellent offline multiplayer

More comprehensive than i assumed, but still somewhat lacking

What is so great about this game? I own both.. but Halo 3 lost it's luster much much faster than CoD4. In fact.. CoD4 has never lost it's luster for me. I can't put it down. For those of you who complain about the language... you do realize you can mute ANYONE in the game don't you??? COD4 has great visuals... And the campaign is bad ass and fun. CoD4 story isn't the greatest.. but I've played through the campaign 5 times already just because the enemy AI is so great. Don't even get me started on the multi-player.this game is way more gratifying for me. I actually feel challenged and that I don't have to bring my AAA game to every match to have fun or shoot you 100 times to kill you....

You guys are retards if you think Halo 3 is just more of Halo 2 including the graphics engine. The dynamic lighting alone makes COD4 look like a first gen title. COD4 is just more of COD3 only its downgraded... no vehicles!!! How bout that!! Linear paths... boring enemy AI.... boring level designs... everything on rails.... sorry if you suck at Halo 3 and found yourself an easier game... but Halo 3 is far from more Halo 2. The only reason people hate on it is because it's Microsoft's first born. End of story. COD4 is a fun game... but the longevity belongs to Halo 3.
