I like modern warfare better than modern warfare 2

cold blooded is the same perk category (red) as stopping power

overall, the halo series are MUCH better designed, but i played halo3 a looooot for the past 2 years, and i like cod also

reasons why halo is better than cod:

its more team based. a 2 on 1 in halo is almost impossible for the 1 guy to kill both, unless they are giant noobs. in cod, the 1 guy can easily take out 2 guys double teaming him

halo rankings are a much better scale of skill. in call of duty, EVERYTHING besides the ratios are accumulative. someone can be 10th prestige just by playing a lot. in halo, you plateau somewhere. for example, my team slayer level is 47. its been at 47 for about a a year, and my new gamertag is only about a year and 3 months old. i cant improve my level no matter what. it doesnt matter if i play 20 hours in a row, ill win lose win lose and itll stay the same

halo is much more consistent than call of duty
in halo, a team of level 47's will win against a team of level 46's 99 out of 100 times. the slightest change in skill makes a huge difference. in cod, theres a lot of random bullshit

halo uses much more strategy than cod
cod is point and shoot, 3 shots youre dead. halo uses grenades as part of the killing process, not the kill. a grenade in halo will not kill a man, but take away his shields. a battle rifle takes 3 bursts and a headshot burst to kill a man (provided every bullet hits the target.) this way, if a person runs somewhere and a guy spawns behind him, he can still win. also, in halo, power weapons are placed on the maps. it takes coordination and strategy to get the sniper and stuff, whereas in cod the higher level you are, the better weapon you have

halo spawns are much better than cod
i used to think halo's spawning system was bad, until i played cod. in cod, if im trying to sneak around to the enemy base, all my homies spawn around me and my plan is essentially nullified. i also spawn in the most random bullshit places ever, like directly IN THE LINE OF SIGHT of an enemy

halo maps destroy cod's maps
cod maps consist of a flat ground with random piles of shit everywhere, providing cover. halo's maps have multiple vertical levels

that said, cod is still insanely fun and the game im currently playing

yeah i only use cold blooded on my ninja class:

m4
silencer
beat sensor
aa-12 red dot, silencer
bling pro
cold blooded
ninja

the lack of stopping power on the m4 is pretty weak, without a red dot sight you end up emptying clips into people just to get a kill

I agree, however the the original COD for computer had the same same precision. My most memorable online games were on COD1 and COD2. The only thing I wish xbox live had is the kind of customability to the maps and game setup.

awesome, 100% correct. I'd love to see a rebuttal from a highly skilled COD gamer haha.

To all the  idiots saying the riot shield is cheap its called fmj on your pistol, my 44 mag with fmj will drop a riot shield in two shots... It seems console kids are getting more noob everyday.

im pretty damn good at both, stemming from asian genetics, (47 in halo with an 80%+ win pct, 1.73 k/d in cod,) and i just find halo to be a much better designed game. plus you can do cool shit like check your stats online n stuff

I'm not even going to give up my sniper class because it rapes too hard.

I like cold blooded in this game. A lot. It seems like everyone's using stopping power but cold blooded is really useful for avoiding kill streaks, uav and thermal. Also, m16 + silencer and heartbeat = win. Iron sights are bomb in this game, I rarely use a red dot unless I have no other good attachments. Most the time I use a silencer or heartbeat with scavenger or SOH. If the weapon is good with ammo like the m16 I'll use bling with both.

Of course I still suck because I play too much like I do in halo, that being run out in the open and try to beat people heads up. I need to work on camping and being more sneaky, I get into way too many 50-50 heads up battles where me and the enemy spot each other at the same time.

fmj rapes riot shields

nobody uses them though, i've seen like 1 person in a game actually use one and i went up to him, he swung at me, and i ran around him and knifed him in the back...riot shields suck for the person using them

yea when riot shields came out in cs 1.6 everyone complained.

if you're good though they really aren't that much of a problem. 

the novelty will wear off eventually.

and i assume the same will be for mw2

They actually had to change the programing so that you couldn't sit in the corner with riot shield and a pistol and be unstoppable.

Andy said it awesome agree with everything except for COD being fun.

 I can only play 3-5 games of COD in a row before I loose my mind.  EVERY FUCKING PERSON CAMPS THEIR ASS OFF.  And I dont know all the maps yet so there are 50's hiding all over the place.  Not cool.  I am going back to Halo.  Campaign in COD was pretty cool though.  I do go plus most games in COD but I hate just sitting there and waiting for a guy to come around the corner.
