Call of Duty 4 is fuck awesome.  FUCK AWESOME.

Except for the single player, which sucks the cock.

We exist in separate universes.

I'll always prefer gun fodder over 13 year old fat bastard children breathing into their mic.

lol

Xbox live is pretty lol due to all the distinguished mentally-challenged fellows abusing each other, I cant wait to get my own headset and piece of the action!

Also I want to talk to you guys on Xbl so we can freak each other out with our accents

:bow Talking :bow

Huh?  I guess to pinpoint why I don't like the multi would be that you pretty much have to resort to being a sneaky wisp in order to not get shot.  I get stressed always looking behind me and zipping all over the place.   :lol

I'd rather just run around hopping all over the place and kill terrorists.

Call of Duty 4 is awesome.  I was just playing it.  I got my brother to buy a copy and he's a Halo addict.  And he admitted it trumps Halo 3.  It's funny, because everyone and their mother was playing Halo 3 around its release.  A short time later, Call of Duty 4 has made it collect dust!

Did you like the SP too?  After beating COD4's SP, I still don't get the hate.  The SP's a solid 8 IMO.

I don't get the hate either.  It's a very underrated single player campaign.  Yes, it's way too short, but it also has some of the best action sequences put in a game and feels like an 80s action film come to life.  I really, really dig it.

It's single player was superior to Halo 3, as well.  If it was just a single player game, I'd dock it a couple of points, but coupled with outstanding and expansive multiplayer, it's one of the best games to come out in the past few years.

I don't know if it was because we were playing 3p splitscreen multiplayer online, but Halo 3 looked ugly as hell compared to CoD4.
Title: Re: COD4 > Halo 3

It has nothing to do with split-screen... Call of Duty 4 poops on Halo 3 in terms of visuals.

It was really bad though. It seriously looked like Halo 2.

Halo 3 had fancier bump mapping and lighting but COD4 destroys Halo 3 at everything else.  It's amazing how much more geometry COD4 is pushing even though it's running at twice the framerate as H3.

The first thing my friend said as we started Halo 3 co-op (on an HDTV no less!)

"Wow, this looks like Halo 1." :lol

Campaign looks much better, right? It just has to.

Edit: Shit, you said co-op. :(

no.

as much as i hate bungie's work with Halo 3, the textures, lighting and scope are much better than COD4.

COD4 weakest points are the textures and running in 1024x600.

edit: but then again, Halo 3 = zero AA and 30fps lol.

I haven't played COD4 yet, but I intend to soon.  It really looks awesome.

My brother and his friends are here all the time playing it though, and despite them being huge halo distinguished mentally-challenged fellows they all agree the COD4 > Halo3.  I didn't care much for Halo 3, so I'll probably end up agreeing as well.

Were they just talking about graphics or gameplay?  If we're just talking about gameplay, it's a much tougher call.  COD4 has more interesting combat scenarios while H3 has more interesting AI and many awesome vehicles.

There's no vehicles to splatter people with though.   :-\

I'm up to 19 kills in one game with just ghost splattering so far in Halo 3.

Halo 3 is all about co-op and SP :bow :bow :bow  In that respect alone, it destroys CoD4.  Sorry.

No. Sorry.
Fighting two scarabs in Halo 3 was more intense and fun than any part of CoD4's grenadeathon and massive respawnings.

CoD4 MP>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Halo3 MP however!

Yeah, for some reason I just don't want to trade it in. I figure maybe I'll want to play it every once in a blue moon down the road. I haven't even played much COD4 recently because I'm been busy and playing some other games. But I've played like 60 hours between the beta and retail game.
