wich is better? but also suggesting to anybody who can make mods for both games make a mod so COD and Halo players can play on the same map so we can see who is really the King? reasons: 1. Halo has an actual story line you can follow 2. Halo does not have little squeakers clogging up the multiplayer 3. MLG started because of Halo @Tyro The Fox please comment Tyro
i edited my post before you posted that you know and also i haven't played Counter strike yet might go have a look at that soon.
Call of Duty has multiple stories to allow for more different eras of gameplay and have a new experience. Halo has just as awful as a player base as Call of Duty. Have you ever heard of Quake and Unreal Tournament? Now I'm not going to start supporting Call of Duty because to me, everything past MW2 (Save for BLOPS 2) is just there to milk for money. Frankly though, I've been let down by Halo ever since Bungie passed it to 343 but both are disappointing to there major focus on multiplayer, making single-player seem like an afterthought, and the heavy reliance on DLCs. Hooray for modern shooters.
I prefer Halo because I like the story and setting better. As for gameplay, I suppose Halo was a little more fun, but an FPS is an FPS.
Call of Duty has a lot going for it in that it pretty consistently delivers what has been agreed to be a classic competitive multiplayer environment in online gaming. I don't really like the game series on the whole, but there you go. That's its primary draw. As for Halo, which I do like and would favor over CoD, I think the big draw has always been the setting, story and characters. It's mechanically fun not only because you get alien weapons and futuristic shield technologies juxtaposed with human guns, but also because it has a pacing that the player is more easily able to control. One of the larger complaints that some people level against Call of Duty is that it's just so fast-paced most of the time. On the other hand, its fans like that, so it's a matter of personal taste. The story in Halo blows Call of Duty away, though. I mean, pretty much all of CoD's story is shallow gung-ho militaristic rhetoric slapped onto a first-person shooter. Halo tends to explore what it means to be human, and in my opinion, has a much more mature commentary on what it means to be a soldier. Look at all of the most emotionally deep moments in Call of Duty; they tend to seem deep because they're stapled onto a game that generally lacks depth, but if you take them out of context they're largely unremarkable, and for every one that CoD has Halo has not only an equivalent but a larger number of equivalents. Halo also contains non-militaristic commentaries on topics CoD doesn't even come close to talking about maturely, such as religion, global responsibility, love and other themes. The closest CoD comes to that is, "The bad guys are doing a thing! Stop 'em!" Halo does that too, but with a lot more emotional complications. So, as games, there's really no comparison. Like what you like. As stories, though, there's a pretty clear difference in complexity.
I can't really say for sure imo, but CoD and Halo have been pretty fun for me. I play what I like, and that's what people should do. Just because one person doesn't like one or the other, doesn't mean you have to follow their example.
COD of course! I mean come on ZOMBIES!!!! It may not be in every single COD but its there! Not to mention the new COD looks awesome! The beta is out on the xbox one and ps4 (maybe the other consoles) which you can pick who u want to be also u get a special weapon.
I've been playing The Masterchief Collection on the Xbone recently, and I've come to have a new respect for the first two titles; I'm talking about the single player campaigns here, as I don't really play much multiplayer anymore, but playing all four main Halo games back to back really highlights the differences in style. I personally think Halo 4 shifted the franchise closer to COD, and from what I've seen of 5, it may be set to shift it further, with more QTEs and set pieces, so arguing the differences between the two may become increasingly trivial in the future, although I hope I'm wrong. Sorry for going a bit off topic there... I prefer Halo for single player, as I agree it has the better storyline, and prefer the gunplay when fighting AI, but I like COD for it's multiplayer and variety of settings. I mostly play it with friends, so the online player base doesn't really bother me, and I've had a lot of fun on the various Zombie modes, Old skool mode on MW, and Black Ops' multiplayer in general.
