I am a fan of the Halo franchise, both the games and the books. However, Halo 3 left me feeling like I had already played it before and it was called Halo 2. What I mean is that there wasn’t anything that was really new enough for it to stand out to me. Of course an argument can be made about the meta games and forge, but those seem more like a perk to the game rather than a reason to play it. GoW had a very original feel to it. The storyline could have been made a lot deeper, but it still had its own personality (for lack of a better term). That is as far as the campaign goes. As for multiplayer, Halo 3 stands out about GoW. And, a lot of that has to do with it’s variety and community.
