Halo 3 vs Gears of War 2 – Which one is the must have? Flame On
   December 2nd, 2008 clock image 3:15 pm

When you think about the Xbox 360, two major exclusive titles always spring to mind, Gears of War and Halo 3.

So what if you have just bought a console or have a friend who has just bought a console and you just cannot decided which one of the two is the must-have game that should grace the system.

IGN have put together a great head to head video, pitting Gears of War 2 against Halo 3 in duel to the death. Which one is the definitive Xbox 360 title and the one that shouldn’t be missed.

With regards to multiplayer, from a local perspective I will say one thing. It is that here in South Africa, we need to stick together to play lag-free games. So out here it really is all about finding out what all your friends are playing and then getting that. It doesn’t help if Gears is better or Halo is better because if you have no one to play with then it is no fun at all.

You won’t believe who won this comparison and by how much. Check it out.

    In SA it’s Gears, no question about it. It actually doesn’t matter which one is better, more south africans play Gears, so you’re more likely to actually find a game with loads of locals playing it.

  • http://www.gamerlobby.net koldFU5iON

    I think the record session could’ve been the a great addition to the Gears MP.

  • bl33k

    the last 3 points are biased, should of been grabbed from say taking 2 months worth of live stats and compared them, instead of having some guy sucking his thumb for a winner.

    eg
    Gameplay: how many hours spent playing the campaign single player
    Feature set: how many hours each feature in each game gets played.if only one feature gets played in a game then the rest of the features are useless and hence that game losses the battle
    MP: how many ppl play online and for how long.

    just my 2c.

  • http://www.designwave.co.za Nick

    You gotta remember that in the US there are still a TON of people still playing Halo 3 and a lot of them do make a lot of use of the extra added features.

    South Africa still has a decent amount of Halo 3 players but the most popular games here seems to definitely be Gears of War and Call of Duty

  • bl33k

    i agree.

    i think Halo would of still come out on top in that review if he would of used live stats, but using those stats could of been a bit more conclusive than just stating what the author thinks.

    but then again everyone has a right to think :P , well some ppl at least

  • http://www.clasvena.com 2Three

    without even watching the vid, Gears gets my pick.

  • V@mp

    I don’t know about Gears 2,because I haven’t played it,
    but just based on Gears 1, I’d give it the Gameplay section
    as well.

    There is no comparing it. I have and played much of both. gears 2 beats halo in every possible way except for maybe music but who the hell cares about music when you are sawing your way through a drone. The bubblegum crappy textures of halo tends to bore me and confuse my eyes. Eat it halo fanboy losers

  • ty

    gears of war kicks halo 3s ass all the way fuck master chief stupid douchebag i will chainsaw his dumb little ass

  • Daniel

    Gears of War 2 is waaaaaaaaaaay better than Halo 3
    that video is soo stupid!!!

    i wanna see you explode some heads, chainsaw someone, cover yourself, execute someone and all that stuff in halo 3 (y)
    Gears of War only baby!!!

    Halo is for girls that want to finish it with no difficulty

  • ryan

    Halo 3 is a much better online game. If you are bad at it gets boring. If you are good at it and you have an MLG team it is so much better than any game out there. Halo 3 takes the probably the most skill out of any shooter on the xbox 360. It is also the number 1 game in MLG (Major League Gaming). Gears of War and Call of Duty are for people that just try to have fun with video games. Halo 3 is for competitive skilled gamers.

  • Quincie

    HALO SHIT

  • Bryan

    I’m sorry but halo is majorly retarded first able you cant run, second-able the storyline is EXTREMELY boring. I recently got an xbox and trying to play through the halo saga and I regret ever putting that game in my hard drive for being the OCD loser I am it bothers me if i dont atleast get 30 achievements. Halo 3 just seems like it has no skills offline and online, you jump and shoot and pray you have more ammo then your opponent cause in the end thats all it comes down to. In Gears of War 1 & 2 (recently purchased) I feel like its better in graphics, and overall action, along with the storyline its great. I wouldn’t recommend either for the online connectivity cause they are both a little sloppy, COD Modern Warfare 2 is more likely to win in those as the layout for online gaming is neat simple and clean.

  • Tshepo

    lol first able? second-able? I think you mean “firstly” and “secondly” Bryan, but I agree with you, Halo is retarded. I never understood the appeal of the Halo games, but it has a considerable fan base and at the end of the day, that’s all that really matters.
