Halo or CoD?

[jms_gears1]

You just point and shoot in Gears of War and you're dead. Cry as you watch the skilled players bounce from cover to cover and roll around you avoiding your "aiming skills".

I feel like you and Doodie missed what I was saying. Ive played a bit of GoW, I much prefer CoD. I understand you dont just aim and shoot, but the game can be as mindless as 'just pointing and shooting' (Im not saying all it is is pointing and shooting)

I understand what you are saying. But that can be applied to most games. Most games are designed to be simple to play, so the person doesn't have to spend a lot of time thinking. When considering the skill a game takes, there isn't a huge difference, but you still have to consider a lot of factors.

If the multiplayer shooter gives players low health, players rely much more on camping and, depending on the game, some success will depend on first-sight and who has the better headset. The better players will be the ones that are able to overcome such players by using cover and developing great rush or half-rush skills. Usually, if the game gives players a large amount of health (such as Killzone 2 and Halo), players are more willing to venture out and success will depend upon the player that is able to maintain their aim the best.

Shattered Horizon, I mean what?

Seriously, though, I tend to be an RTS kind of guy, with Shattered Horizon being the only exception.

I grew up on Halo. 8 player shotty snipes system link matches ftw lol. I love the Halo trilogy and its story. As for Reach, that's different. I just hated it. Imo Halo series > CoD series but Reach < BOps.

Ive just recently stopped playing WoW. I was with a legit raiding guild (9/13) *ahem* lol It was taking wayyy too much of my time though. Deleted all my characters yesterday ='(

I have never played Halo and after a while CoD got boring and repetitive, so although I've never played it I'd say Halo, it looks nicer.

Yes, both games can be as simple as point and shoot, but you'll never win in GoW, if you play that way.

There's a difference between running and gunning and actually being good at the game.
In CoD, it's easier to run and gun, and be one of the top 3, as my friends usually do when they pick the game up. In GoW, you can't just pick it up and run around shooting, as you will lose over and over.

Again, yes, both games can be as simple as point and shoot. Any game can be simpled down to the basic idea. But in GoW, you won't be winning by doing this.

I feel like you missed what I was saying. (long explanation of how you don't just point and shoot in GoW)

No, jms knows exactly what you're saying.

No, and I see you don't either.

Halo series is old. It reached its climax in Halo 2 before Halo 3 came out. In Halo 3, now it's all 8 year old kids playing in the majority of the server. Call of Duty is repetitive, but the game mechanics and story are impressive and captivating. I really think Call of Duty reached its "climax" during the CoD4 era, and a little bit into CoDW@W, after that, the games seem largely repetitive. In my opinion, both franchises are in decline in game quality. There needs to be a revolution in first-person shooters.
