Default Gears of War or Halo?

Which is your favourite of the two and why?

Its close for me, both have good multiplayer and Gears is set to improve a lot more with the release of Gears 2 this November.

For single player I found the Gears campaign a lot more interesting and enjoyable than the campaign in any of the Halo series, however 4 player co-op on Halo 3 made things a lot more fun.

If I had to choose my vote would go for the Gears series.

What about you?

Halo 1 was the best game i've played. Gears not so much. I like the story of Gears, just thought it was a bit short. Halo 2 + 3 campaign absolutely sucked mind. Plus, Halo is better online in my humble opinion

Gears of war is the best...The single player rules and the muiltiplayer is nothing less than PERFECT. I Love Gears of war. Halo though I've tired of all three games. Halo 3 was better than the rest, However I didn't see anything in it. Alien based battle? I don't like those type. Like in gears in there is monsters with life like weapons. Its not the most life like game, though its definitely better than halo!

I would've said Halo but looking at everything thats coming out involving Gears 2 just keeps impressing me so I'd have to say Gears of War. It was the first game that showed me co-operative play was a possibility and how good it is to play with friends. Sure Halo 3 had 4 player co-op but I enjoyed Gears's gameplay more.

Halo purely for 4-players on one console.

Gears, due to the fact is has that sort of real life feeling to it in a very strange way.. Halo is just pants, Guns are all lame no gore its just boring.

Gears is just perfect, Gore! and on e amazing story

I think Gears because its more real compared to Halo. That is probably the only reason. The missions are the same in my opinion but the online for Halo is a tiny bit better.

My choice is clearly Gears, as I've played Gears1 on an almost daily schedule last year, and from now on Gears2 is sure to give me the same sort of addiction.. However, Halo3 was an enjoyable game, especially online even though I haven't played everything that's there. Recently I even downloaded the Xbox Original Halo1 from Marketplace because I hadn't got the chance to enjoy this one before, I've also downloaded both the Heroic and Legendary map packs for Halo3. This means in terms of my enjoyment, the Gears and Halo series aren't that far from each other than I originally thought..

Oh now that I think of it, haven't ever played Halo2, is that version for Vista any good?
