Ohhh boy another gears vs halo question... Well, i might be sort of biased because im a true halo fan, and have to say that halo all together is a better game. I enjoy gears of war's story line much more than halos, but campain is very limited as to what you can do. playing it makes u feel like one of those lab mice in a maze. the weapons might be balanced and i enjoy the skill the sniper takes, but variety just isnt there. Graphics are good but everything doesn't have to be in such a gothic color scheme. Glitches on the multiplayer maps are also in great abundance and most of them ruin the true game. I like the halo ranking system much better but the player match system more efficient than halos. Halo 3 also has its forge and saved films feature, which puts it a giant step ahead of many other games. In conclusion, it really depends upon your taste in FPS. There will always be a fight between gears and halo fans since the 2 games are so unique in themselves. But im liking the rumors about a gears of war movie. THAT is screaming success.
