Same old story: CoD4 is still the Xbox Live king

I'd like to say thanks for pointing me in the direction of N+, I wouldn't have even looked at it if it wasn't for the fancast. Awesome game!
On another note, COD4 > Halo 3, yea I said it, what? bring it on!
On a further note, where's the fancast this week??

Just wait until R6V2. Then we can crown a new champion.

COD4 sucks, the only reason so many people move to it is because of hype and/or they suck at halo.

I think 4 weeks is long enough for everyone to accept it and move on, not needing to be retold about it every week.

Damn it Dustin!!!! When are we going to get this achievement thing figured out!?

Oh... and where is the fancast?

COD4 is a great game....Halo 3 is also a great game. Apprently a bunch of people with the maturity of 7 year olds can't accept the fact that there can be two equaly great games and if one is above the other on the XBL played list its the end of the world. So pretty much its a case of COD4 fanboys shut up, we know your game is on top most of us can't care less. Halo3 fanboys, you shut up too, so what Halo3 wasn't on top, face it Halo3 is the end all be all of games, sure it does have great features and really pretty graphics but still.

Why is this a news story. Bump

It's only till GoW2 is released then the true king will return.

I just hate the fact that I can pump half of a clip and not kill a guy in H3.
oh and the fact you can't run.
no perks.
no air strikes.
no helicopters.
no prone. (I never do unless I need to crawl through a hole.)

Oh, I have seen idiot tea bagging in COD4.

I do have to admit I like vehicles in H3.

I'll play H3 some more when the the maps becomes free.

I think this topic is mainly brought up to stir the pot and get hit's on this site. BAH! They are both FRAGGIN good games in their own right and deserve praise, not this senseless back and forth childish my game is better than yours crapola....

Both are good games, however one thing that one cannot argue is that Halo is MUCH more approachable by new players. COD pretty much screws you over in the beginning by not matching you based on rank, and by not giving you access to everything. In Halo3, you're matched with players that are somewhat at your skill level, and that have exactly the same equipment as you. It's a level playing field.


I do like COD4's level design over Halo3, but I have more fun in Halo because it's simpler. And people gripe about the melee in Halo3... give me a break. COD4's knife attacks are far worse.

people move to COD4 just because Halo 3 is pretty much redundant of what Halo 2 offered. I would have loved to see COD4 come out when Halo 2 had come out. COD4 or any other shooter had no chance what so freaking ever to even move Halo 2 from the top.

If anything blame M$ for pushing Bungie in direction of redundant gameplay.

Last but not the least, I'd pick R6 over COD anyday anytime, not to mention I rocked R6V ;)

I play COD4 by default because all my friends are playing it. I'd still rather play Halo.

Hilarious picture.Halo & Gears of War is really not my thing its unrealistic and childish.I'm mean come on shooting monsters,aliens or robots is really lame.COD4 and R6V are my type of games.

BOth will go back and forth due to DLC

Its not really news is it?

Personally I'm in the COD4 camp. Halo 3 to me feels just like Halo 2 and err... well halo 1. Too much run and gun imo and if I wanted that I'd play UT3 which is vastly superiour to it.

Halo 3 story was pap if you ask me. COD4 SP wasn't great but at least it was short and pretty good.

When people say that CoD4 fans just suck at Halo, it sounds retarded, but it has some truth to it.

To be honest the only reason I think CoD4 is so popular is cause it's so EASY. Seriously, beating any enemy in that game requires simple to fire for half a second in the general direction of an enemy. Sniping usually is a one hit kill, and spraying the P90 all over a tight space will clean rooms in low lag scenarios.

The masses try Halo 3, find it a bit hard, and move on too a prettier, easier game.

I'm not saying that CoD4 is a bad game, I play it all the time. All I'm saying is why I think it's so popular with the masses.

It's like when I played Mario Kart: DD on the old Cube. I got sick of how easy it was, even though it was pretty and had tons of features. I switched to F-Zero GX looking for a challenge, and to play something that required more than basic skills to win.

While I'm at it, I just wanna say that the Headquarters game type is broken. Respawns in that level usually give one team an absurd advantage.

COD4 is much better the halo3, i got bored of halo about a month after playin it but with cod4 i can play it all day long

Halo is better, most of Call of Duty is BS because of 5.56mm rounds instant killing, and 4 shots with a Barrett .50 cal on someone with Juggernaut. WHO IN THE HELL LIVES THROUGH ONE SHOT WITH THAT!
