Call of Duty 4 is a better game than Halo 3

Call of Duty 4 and Halo 3 are two videogames, the former being cross-platform and the latter being exclusive to the xbox 360. For this reason, the debate will be centered around the xbox 360 version of both games. Because I am against this (CON), I await your arguments and definitions as you have the burden of proof.

Good luck.

Call of Duty 4 is the biggest franchise on www.GameBattles.com (The world leader in game compition)Halo is 5th . Call of Duty has more people on it every day then Halo, based on each games population count. 9.5/10 - Game informer magazine.

First I will adress my opponent's case, then my own.

My opponent's case:
"Call of Duty 4 is the biggest franchise on www.GameBattles.com (The world leader in game compition)Halo is 5th"

While this may be true, it just goes to show the subjectiveness of the company gamebattles. Gamebattles caters to the majority of gamers, and most gamers seek a fast-paced, luck-based video game. Gamebattles is, however, affiliated with Mlgpro.com (Major League Gaming). Mlgpro's motto is to reduce most of the luck component in video games and produce the most skill-oriented, compelling online gaming experience. Major league gaming has decided Halo 3 to be its flagship title, as they have stated numerous times that it provides an excellent competitive multiplayer experience. Major league gaming has decided that Call of Duty 4 is even inferior to Super Smash Brothers Brawl, and has coincidentally given more support to that video game.

My case:

1) More entertaining to the non-gamer civilian

ESPN, a major sports broadcasting company, has provided exclusive coverage to Halo 3, and continues to highlight and comment on tournaments and other halo 3 events. Halo 3 is the first and only game to be broadcasted in such an audacious way because the game is not only exciting to play, but exciting to watch; clearly ESPN agrees.

2) Provides a competitive layer that Call of duty 4 lacks

a. Aiming - Halo 3 includes only hitscan weapons. Hitscan weapons, by definition, are weapons that, no matter what, fire within the reticule. Call of Duty weapons take a more realistic approach which makes aiming more luck-oriented. This makes "spray-n-pray" (firing wildly around the target hoping bullets will hit the enemy) a viable option, which absolutley dissolves all skill. Halo 3 aiming requires the reticule to be on the target at all times, and with faster movement and higher jumping, this task requires much skill.
b. Camping - In Halo 3 Major league gaming settings, the radar is removed. This, along with the fact that once shot the player can turn and, if better, still have a fair chance of defeating the opponent, deters camping. In Call of Duty 4 five bullets or less can kill an enemy. With such a high lethality compared to that of Halo 3, camping has become completely viable and efficient, as achieving the "first shot" will actually be the "last shot".
In halo camping will only aid you in one shot, which is not a deciding advantage in a fight between avid players.

**Good luck on your response cooljames**

Halo 3 you say takes more skill and is a faster paced game you say?

Call of Duty 4 is all about accuracy if you "spray and pray" against a good player you will be dead before you hit him once. This game is all about reflex's, reaction time, and more about out smarting your enemy more then anything else.
Call of Duty 4 is played like a chess game playing against skilled players, you have to think one step ahead of your enemy. It is all about that first shot I admit but its your fault you let the enemy acheive that chance you have to assume whear that enemy is.. If I was playing I wouldnt run through a doorway to the objective not thinking anyone would be waiting for me.

Even in Halo if you get shot in the back and you kill the person that got the first shot obviously there is a large skill difference.

Call of Duty is realistic, when U.S. Marines storm a known insurgent hide out they check corners and watch each others backs. In Call of Duty if you have no one to watch each others backs you can hear an enemy sneaking up on you.. Even then its not likely for them to get behind you if you checked all corners. Halo is a game that requires minimul accuracy its mostly about throwing grenades in the same direction of your enemy, North, West, East or South and running up to them and pressing the beatdown button if you are too lazy to aim.
