Halo 3 vs. Gears of War…that really is an apples and oranges comparison but I’ll do my best.
Halo 3 – First Person Shooter…I’m biased I’ve always preferred FPSs.
GOW – Third Person Shooter…Gears of War is the only third person shooter I have ever gotten into.
Edge: Halo 3 (biased)
Halo 3 – Isn’t revolutionary
GOW – Brand new IP with a new emphasis on how to play a shooter (cover option/tactics)
Edge: Gears of War
Halo 3 – Endless variations of Multiplayer Games
GOW – Only four multiplayer game types.
Edge: Halo 3
Halo 3 – Much Better Achievements IMO
GOW – Specific Weapon Achievements always made your teammates act like douche bags…“Yes I know you need your sniper achievement but you suck at sniping!”
Edge: Halo 3
Halo 3 – 4 player campaign co-op
GOW – 2 player campaign co-op
Edge: Halo 3
Halo 3 – Instant Re-Spawn
GOW – Waiting forever while two craptastic snipers attempt to take each other out
Edge: Halo 3
Halo 3 – Instant Matchmaking, Player Party’s
GOW – Waiting forever for a room to fill up
Edge: Halo 3
Halo 3 - Not very bloody
GOW - Extreme Content!
Edge: Gears of War
Halo 3 – No Clan Support
GOW – No Clan Support
Edge: Draw
Halo 3 - Campaign…If you’re expecting an amazing storyline/cinematics I’ve got some bad news for you.
GOW - Campaign…Amazing storyline and cinematics.
Edge: Gears of War
Halo 3 - Minimal Trash Talking.
GOW - All the downtime between rounds fosters trash talking.
Edge: Halo 3
Halo 3 edges out Gears of War with a score of 7 to 3.
That being said I’d say for my gaming tastes Halo 3 is the clear winner. Now for all you Gears fans please don’t freak out. Believe me, I have loged some serious playing time (10,000+ ranked kills) on Gears and enjoyed it very much but it’s time for me to move on to greener pastures.
