im debating on getting halo reach, reasons, 60$, i think it will die when new call of duty comes out. so my question will reach over take COD? or will reach be the game people trade in to get COD?

Halo Reach will be talked about until Black ops comes out.

i'd just wait for black ops then see if it's all glitchy and shitty like mw2 first.

if all is good then take your pick

Here's how you determine whether you should play Halo or COD:

Do you usually suck at first person shooters or suck at video games?  Then get COD.

Are you somewhat good at first person shooters or video games and want to play something that takes skill?  Get Halo.

I don't know if Black Ops will take more skill than MW2, but all I know is that MW2 is the easiest game ever, and it's hard not to be decent.

From what i have seen COD looks allot less epic from the last one. Have not played reach but looks epic.

im good at games like cod, i just dont like how unrealistic cod is, reach has the swat mode i think where its like head shots or maybe its slayer, w/e one its is i like that mode cod is dumb because its trying to be realistic but isnt doing a good job at all, i mean 10-15 shots to kill someone, my dads in the Marines and if he could get shot 10 times with out dieing i wouldnt be afraid when he goes to iraq. i just hate how it takes so many shot even on hardcore it still takes like three shots.

Both take skill to be good. In COD most people camp, in Halo most people just jump around. And both are easy to play. Your statement was biased and flawed. Thank you.

No, it wasn't.  Play MLG in Halo at above a level 40, and the people work together so well, and are so good.  I was a 45 in MLG but I couldn't get higher.  I played Halo a bunch and always loved that game.  But then the Xbox broke, and my 2 brothers voted to get PS3 so we did, and now I play COD.  That's the only game I play really, and it's incredibly easy.  I bet you suck at Halo, and think you're good, and I can't really predict how you are at COD because it's hard not to be good.

im getting halo and COD but i have a feeling that as soon as COD comes out i wont play reach anymore and neither will anyone else. i just want halo for the campain mainly cause halo online is stupid since it takes like 200 pullets to kill a single guy.

This is pretty much the truth, 10th prestige lvl 70s in COD suck soooooo much male genatalia compared to most lvl 45-50s in Halo. In their respective games of course.

Haha they are just different games. In Halo you can run around all you want and don't need to watch your back. As long as you can shoot someone 5 times before they shoot you 5 times, your good. Halo requires you to be able to hit a target many times in a row.

COD requires you to be more aware of your surroundings, use cover when moving around, and have quick reflexes. You don't need to shoot a target many times in a firefight, so quick reflexes are a ton more important than in Halo.

One game isn't easier than the other. You don't need to be the first to spot and fire in Halo. You need to be the most consistent with all your shots. Of course there is overlap with this because they are both FPSs. But there is no need to compare them to see which is better. They are 2 different, but still both really fun games. Why does everything always have to be one or the other?

thats true to a point, but in reach its a little different. so many kids just creep around and stab you in the back, you need to be on your toes more.


i fuckin glove this game

This is all very true, but in Halo you also have to watch your back, and your teammates back.  You can't just have 1 person carry the team in Halo if you're actually a high level.  If you're playing at high levels in MLG, if you get shot before you shoot the other guy, you're usually dead.

my thoughts are its harder to be good at halo, but once youre good youre so much better than everyone else. in halo you can turn on people maybe 3 or 4 times out of 5 if theyre average. in call of duty its maybe once or twice if you drop shot

Again I meant it as a generic overview of the main ideas. But a lot of the problem I see if people hating on one or the other is that they will try to play one with the same style as the other. If a Halo player goes to play COD and uses the same style as he would play Halo with, he will hate is and say it is dumb because "you die too fast." Same goes for the other way. You just need to stop comparing them and look at each game in 2 separate ways. Then you can have a lot of fun with either.

reach is amazing. so much fun.

I have a question maybe some of you can answer... as it stands, what is a good kill score for say, a game of team slayer or a game of swat?

I know it's strange to ask, but I just want to know where I'm standing in this game. and I know it's early and theres still lots of noobs and stuff, but people are getting better FAST.

bought reach today it is sick...will i buy black ops when i comes out. Bungie released reach at a bad time. The MW2 wave is still popular and now black ops is coming out in a few months. You will get your loyal Halo players but i think most people will stay with the COD games

wait....are you saying halo is supposed to be realistic??

who said swat was realistic? its just fun, fast paced head shots

but anyways, i got halo reach and i love it, they made so many very positive changes, its basically the best of both worlds

Everyone's saying this CoD looks amazing but that's what they said about MW2.. CoD will not take over reach, reach is just an all around better game.

In snipers and swat you most definitely have to be alert and on your toes.  Halo is all around a more complete game than call of duty could ever hope to be

Halo = head shot skill + grenade skill

cod = ability to hold the controller + look at a screen
