Is this even an argument? Call of Duty all the way. They made more money and broke their own sales records three times in a row. Zombies mode is just sooooooo omg amazing. Black ops 1 & 2 are awesome. MW3 had a cool campaign and an excellent multiplayer. If we go back even further to the first one call of duty is a leader. Now halo was the stuff when the xbox and ps2 were out but ever since the xbox 360 and ps3 came out they have not failed to impress the public. Halo is still a good game and halo 4 rocks but Black Ops 2 just stole the show. Side: Call of duty

Yes this is an argument. Halo all the way. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Now lets move onto how your comment makes absolutely zero sense. Of course it has more money..it's a multi-platform More money doesn't make it better. It has nothing to do with the in game mechanics. Yes cod does draw more people since it it multi-platform and it's noob friendly but that does not make it better. Sales & popularity doesn't mean good necessarily. Look at Justin Beiber for example. Its mainly cause of the youth of the gaming community. More younger children are wanting the game that is NEW. Cod is NEW every year. They want to get what everyone else has. There is a reason why COD is so popular. Because it's a noob friendly game that requires literally NO skill Very few kids would pick a game with an epic nostalgic story that requires more effort over an noob friendly arcade shooter. My point is: Popularity does not define quality. Although COD is more approachable to the majority due to its simplicity, Halo is definitely a more well made game. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Yes zombie mode is great but that is the only thing cod has and everything else it bad in comparison. i.e a mere game mode on the side beats the main parts of the game (campaign and multiplayer).. what does that tell you?? +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Now your just naming call of duty games. I can do the same. Halo: CE had one of the best campaigns known in gaming. It was more focused on exploring Halo (surprise encounters after walking or driving for a few minutes) then in Halo 2: the encounters are more frequent with more enemies. The most critically acclaimed skill based multiplayer of it's time. Halo 3 was both Plus the addition of FORGE and Theater. ODST made you feel vulnerable (Use Stealth more) ODST...noire, lonely feel. Different Halo feel that worked very well..Plus the addition of the intense exhilarating Firefight. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ I digress yes Halo dominated back in the good old days but despite the fact Halo has diminished it is still a far better game than cod. Halo 3 never disappointed and for a good 4-5 years after it's release it remained in good standing like previous halo games. Call of duty on the other hand can't outlast 2 years as another game is rushed and released. Halo 4 was excellent granted not as good as the original trilogy but it has an excellent emotional new story great multiplayer. Black Ops 2 sucked so did ghosts. Black Ops 1 and MW are the only exceptional call of duties. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Thank you and goodbye. Side: Halo

Is THIS even a question. This is why Halo is great in simplistic format: Why? Simple really... The story. Very deep, engaging and emotional story that spawned many novels to make a truly unique and engaging universe. Plus the multiplayer that MLG played the most. Plus the Award winning soundtrack. And every thing else (Forge, Custom Games, Theater, Firefight, Spartan Ops, Red Vs Blue, Forward Unto Dawn, Halo Legends, Arby 'n' the Chief, Best Vehicular Controls in any FPS etc,). Balanced and skill based multiplayer. Great gameplay (sandbox battles, vehicles etc.). +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ This is why Halo is better in bullet pint format: Halo has better Soundtrack - Very Emotional and nostalgic. Halo has a better story to tell in an amazing universe with great depth and characters. Halo has a better Theater Mode - Play and Save previous games and share. Halo has better community made montages, machinima's, maps etc. Halo has better graphics - Technical lighting. Halo has better gameplay- Sandbox. Best game to have an epic vehicle run with amazing controls in a fps. Better Community. Better Balanced and more skill based multiplayer. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ And this is why Halo requires more skill and in turn is makes it a better more balanced multiplayer game. Before I continue let me say you have many other game types that suit the casual gamer from Social Big Team to Action Sack to creating literally anything with FORGE. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Now back onto why Halo takes more skill: - Part1- Both games take a certain amount of skill but Halo takes much more in comparison to Cod. When you are getting shot at in Cod 9/10 the is nothing you can do, you generally cannot run away and unless the person shooting has downsyndrome you can't kill them. Halo you actually get benefited for having a good aim and intelligence or awareness. Halo was on the MLG circuit long before Cod you know. _ -Part2- Who are the most skillful gamers in the world... MLG players. What game is played the most in MLG for 8 years running...Halo. Say if a person shoots at you first you have time, if skilled enough,you can overcome the odds and kill him. Not who sees who first. Hence the armor. It is all about precise aiming (4 shots to the head with br), Strafing (dodging), strategy, map control. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ -Part3- Cod - People say more guns. Bad reason because it makes the game unbalanced. Halo starts you off with the same weapons...ergo everyone is on equal footing. It is how you use those weapons is how you succeed. It is about about skill, strategy &(sometimes teamwork). Plus in Halo nearly all your kills are from your weapon (True FPS style) not having the computer do it for you (attack dogs, pave low) The most known MLG Pro's are Halo players and have great montages. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ -Part 4- Even something has simple has Grenades take skill. Watch Walshy's Grenade Tutorial. Start at around 4:20. For example trow a nade on the ground then trow the second it will propel further in your intended direction and kill your target. You can see the these video's in the references below. I almost forgot to mention call outs and team work. You see a lot more co-operation where it counts. You hear a lot more strategic thinking and callouts than screaming insults as in cod. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ More Info on TRUE SKILL Ranking: Halo has this True Skill Ranking in most of it's games. This pairs you with people of the same skill range as you. In cod it's random. You could be fighting with or against noobs in one game and really good players in another. You see the only way you can get better for yourself is to play with people of similar skill level or higher...just like in any other sport. I mean the whole gameplay of halo requires skill to be a above average player. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ References: Please look up that grenade tutorial here: https://www.youtube.com/ And Kampy's Montage (Great Editing): Kampy :: Apex - A Halo 3 Montage https://www.youtube.com/ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ That is why Halo takes more Skill than cod.
