Cod4 vs. Halo3

Now now girls,.. this isn't a debate topic or a troll topic. I just saw this multiplayer video and I thought it was hilarious and I thought I should share it with my PS3F friends. ;]
YouTube - Call of Duty 4: Halo Killer (Mature Game)

[Edit: What's even better is how the video shows up in this thread. Wow, I love this forum!] ;]

Ok but what does this have to do with the Playstation Network.
If anything this should go under 360 Discussion, or General stuff maybe

No, because if it goes there, all they're going to do is flame.

Well it did not belong in the PSN section so either it stays here or it goes in the trash.

I know I know. Sorry boss. I actually wasn't sure where it belonged, because to be honest, I completely forgot that the Xbox also has CoD4 (and I don't know how.. because I effin' own it on both PS3 and Xbox 360.)

When I was watching the vid, I was not only thinking the CoD4v.H3, I was also imagining PS3v.Xbo360. ;]
That's why I posted it there. Brain fart.

haha, very well done, respect to the guy who made it.

I hate to do this, but it's time to get serious.

Each game has their own ups and downs. For example, as far as the online community goes I feel that Call of Duty completely pisses all over Halo 3. I've only ever seen videos on Youtube of Halo 3 matches (having never owned it) but all I can ever hear is random insults thrown for one 10-year old to another. There's nothing mature about the whole thing and, to me, that ruins the game. The single-player looks amazing, but the multiplayer ruins it. Compare it to that of Call of Duty 4, and you'll almost instantly see which is the superior. On CoD4, you can actually have a pretty decent talk with your team (and, in some cases, even your enemies) and not be insulted because of your nationality. If you're playing Halo, and you're British/American, you better prepare yourself for an onslaught of insults from immature Americans/British.

However, as decent as the community is on Call of Duty 4, the one thing it is lacking which Halo isn't, is the added bonus of a 'replay' theatre. Seen a few times in the above video, you can quite clearly see that multiplayer matches can be recorded then edited and shared to the players discretion. You can pause it, slow it down, speed it up, zoom out and zoom all the way back in. The only replay 'offered' on Call of Duty 4 is the Killcam you get after you die. Sure, it's a blessing in disguise, offering you a few seconds of footage to see who shot you and where they are and where they went to after, but it is NOTHING compared to Halo's director mode.

Again, each game has their ups and downs and, as long as each console is alive, the two games will always be up against each other. However, in my honest opinion, CoD4 has my vote.
