Props to the OP for moaning about a lack of realism in Halo 3. Considering you're fighting in the 2500's, wearing armour that weighs a ton, using guns that fire lasers and plasma etc., I can't really imagine what realism there is. :/

The CoD4 v Halo 3 debate gets on my tits tbh. Why not just accept people's tastes? Rather than bleating about how so many people are making a mistake playing one game over another. Nothing like forcing your opinion on those who don't want it, eh?

You do understand that this is an open forum for open discussions...
The title of this forum was to attract people who hated Halo 3 so they can discuss their reasons why they prefer Call of Duty over it. They weren't asking for halo lovers like yourself to come onto this post trying to tell them that halo is a great game... because they obviously have a mixed opinion on it.

Quote me where I said 'Halo 3 is great', please. I was merely stating that you can't really go looking for realism in a game that has none. :/

You also understand that in an open forum, anyone can state their opinion. I was putting forward an opinon (that you are able to do on an open forum). I wasn't asking for Call of Duty lovers like yourself to berate me for doing that.

So if you're gonna try and be a smart arse, back it up. Thanks. :-) Also, as a moderator, surely you understand the need for a good discussion/debate. I like both Halo and CoD4 and me posting a point about realism does not make me a 'Halo lover'. If you're gonna go bash people for having a different opinion (OMG U POSTED SMTHIN GUD ABOUT HALO!!!!11!!) then maybe you should give that moderator position to somebody a little more competent.

To me, i feel that you cannot compare Halo 3 and COD4. This is the simple reason that they as FPS games at opposite ends of the scale of realism. I guess it is a case of "each to their own."

Halo 3 is, as Hangman said, not intended to be realistic - the concept of a human (even with enhancments) performing acts such as dropping from unscalable hights and shaking it off is simply for the sake of enjoyment; for a game to play with ideas that realism does not allow. It is a game I personally enjoy playing, and even though it is approaching a year old, it still is one of the best experiences of online gaming on a console in present times.

COD4 is an exceptional game, and dont get me wrong i enjoy every minute when i play it. The realism adds extra challenge to the gameplay and the storyline is one of the best for modern shooters out there. If i want a competitive gmae, where i know that every shot from simple pistol could be a game winner, COD4 is the game i turn to.

But lets be honest: gaming is all about having fun. If you impose your personal opinion on others, degrading their game as lesser to your favourite, then it can make people uncomfortable. And that ruins the point of gaming.

Besides, who do you think will look at this thread and think "you know what? ill trade in Halo 3 for COD4" because the chance is any serious FPS consloe player will own both games.

If you want a challenge, then play COD4. If you want something less serious, play Halo 3. Either way, it is a rewarding experience.

Just let people play what they want.
