Gears vs Halo 3

Gears of War and Halo 3, two giants of the Xbox 360 face off against each other. They have both dominated in sales and in reviews but which one is better? Well enough with the bullshit, lets get on with this.


Now, I gotta say, Gears of War is just overly bad ass, even the smallest shit like reloading is fun to do. Its innovative game-play makes up for its lack of game variants. Though all these fucking updates have made it gone to hell and back, along with all this host-advantage bullshit, while maybe a bit over-exaggerated, is still pretty gay(Seriously, what the fuck Epic? Fix this shit). The updates have hurt it more than help it, weapons are now more uneven than ever and worse glitches have come out of taking out ones that didn't really matter. Graphics and sounds are still top-notch and the satisfaction of seeing and hearing a head-shot is sharper and gorier than ever.

Game-play is still great but like I said before, updates have fucked it up a bit but its still pretty fun, hell, thats why I still play it. At first glance this looks like a typical run and gun sort of game but when you start playing it, you'll realize that if you run and gun, well you're fucked. You're able to take cover really behind anything you could take cover behind in real life all with the simple press of the A button. The button layout is so god damn simple, it kicks ass, shit, the A button does a shitload not just you being able to take cover, you can fucking hold the A button and you run and crouch at the same time. Shit yeah, you can also do something called 'Active Reload' where you press the reload and if you press the reload button again and time it right, you're able to reload quicker. There's the usual weapons, the shotgun, the sniper, etc. but there's one bad ass weapon that sticks out: The Lancer. At first you think its your normal machine gun weapon, but then when you press the B button, fuck yeah, its a chainsaw. Thats not all, theres more, you can 'Grenade Tag' people, basically meaning, you put a grenade on someone and they explode, bad ass right?

Single player campaign only helps you get ready for multi player, its not worth playing for any other reason, its just too damn short. One of the things that sticks out for campaign is that you can play it co-op over LIVE or just at your house with a friend, even then, re-playability is pretty weak. There's nothing special about the story but why the fuck would you play a game for the story? Assholes, thats who.

Multi player is where its at but like I've said before, Epic likes to piss everyone off by making the game worse with their gay ass updates. The maps are great, every single one of them, except Escalation, fuck that map. If you can get past all the host-advantage bullshit(One way to solve this is to either be the host or be on the host's team), then you'll have shit loads of fun.


Halo 3, every jock asshole, wanna-be gamer girl and gay ass fan boy has a copy of this game, Bungie's Halo fan base has some pretty big assholes. The thing I probably hate most about this game is its sheer popularity, because honestly, its not that good, its not some revolutionary game, its just an FPS with some fun game variants(This mirrors Gears' original game-play and lack of variants) and a good game to get together with friends and play.

My favorite thing about this game has to be just being able to play a Custom Game with your friends, its just fun. Fuck Ranked Games, that shits gay, for some reason it just doesn't appeal to me like Gears of War's ranked game-play does, probably because on Gears you're not just silent or talking shit to some 12 year old that just killed you, saying that you have balls and he doesn't, really now? Well listen up jackass, you just got beat by a 12 year old and whined about it, you just lost the privilege of having a sack. Custom games have a lot of variety to it and now with 'Infection' added(Known as 'Zombies' in Halo 2) shit man, its just great.

The Campaign in this game is pretty damn fun, you can play 4 player co-op over LIVE with a bunch of your friends. The gayest thing I found about co-op is for some reason it can get really fucking laggy, the same people you just played with in a giant match that played smoothly, now for some reason are laggy as shit, why is this? No fucking clue, fix it Bungie, its annoying as shit. Anyway play campaign with some friends, its fun just get ready for a lot of cut scenes with Cortana bitching and having mood swings(She's on her period, basically).

The graphics in this game I think are pretty damn good, no matter what some asshole says about it. Halo 2 itself was great looking especially for the hardware its on and Halo 3 is just a big improvement of that, though some of the models piss me off, especially the black guy, the fucks up with his face? Anyway, graphics are great and blowing up people with rockets is still satisfying.

So both Gears and Halo 3 have their fair share of awesomeness but to be honest Halo 3 is just the same shit as Halo 1 and 2 with more of the same shit to do. Buy Halo 3 for playing with friends because thats what its meant for. Gears of War is something new and Epic just did a fantastic job making this game, its the definition of bad ass, go buy that shit right now.
