Me and my friend had an argument and this poll is the decider. So vote reach everyone!

Not a fan of the CoD series.

Pick your poison, eh?
Voted for BO just because the OP.

Halo all the way.

Halo, cod sucks

Halo, no competition.

Halo>CoD for me, although in this scenario Reach is the lesser evil, since I didn't particularly enjoy it as much as the post-FoR games.

Is this really a valid question? Halo of course. Decent enough graphics, better than Cod at least. This includes better animations, character models, environment effects like water, smoke and explosions. Better in-game balance. Every weapon has it's use, it's place, the game is driven by who has the power weapons, each of which has major draw-backs and are scarce. Much better community support, includes actually responding to community needs by giving new gametypes and community built forge maps. Bungie.net? Yeah, that's much better than anything CoD could hope to have. More options in custom games and character models, has a different style to the custom classes in CoD so difficult to compare. Much greater community interaction with clans, file-shares and recommended maps.

Halo is more fun.
Halo wins...
CoD 4 was good fun but it got worse due to the player base IMO...

My friend has 6 days to pull this back.

Not gonna happen.

Your account name is aweful though. Stop being a fanboy

Halo has vehicles so it is better. Also I like the campaign better and the story is great.

Halo Reach, Black ops was disappointment to me...
But if it was CoD4 or MW2 than Cod all way
but in the end I love both games

I was a fanboy. now i just spend all my time watching red vs blue posting on dakka or thinking about how to make my new high elves.

Someone photoshop an angelic halo on a cod(fish) NOW!

Halo: Has brought something new to the table every time

CoD: Has recycled the same generic stuff over and over again

Halo Reach was the only Halo game I managed to enjoy, but that was because of the zombie and SWAT modes. Besides those two modes I really don't enjoy it. Black Ops has several modes that I enjoy so that's why I enjoyed it.

Will indeed say that Halo Reach's customization is a far cry from ODST's and the previous Halo's.

Oh, and gibbing, I love the gibbing in single player.

I don't particularly like either series but I voted CoD for the zombies.

Reach was less painful to play - in fact, I enjoyed Reach a great deal. BO? Not so much. It's fun, but there are some annoyances with it.

Yeah... That statements gonna need some explaining... On its face it seems utterly... I don't want to say wrong... well yeah. Wrong.

I picked Black Ops just because i can dink around with weapon customization (and get the 3 triangle dots so i can have Predator reticules )

And you can use flamethrowers...

Why do so many people like SWAT? I think messing around with my armor pieces in the lobby is more entertaining. SWAT removes everything that makes halo fun (Vehicles, weapon variety, grenades, equipment) and leaves you with a very bland shooter if you ask me. Big team is best

After the horrible aftertaste left from Halo 2's ending I'd have to say Black Ops.
Plus, Reach is the second most overrated game in history behind FF7.

The ending of Halo 2 makes you prefer Blops over Reach?
Odd... i thought most people had gotten over that by now.
Reach isn't that overrated IMO

They are both games. They share the same gameplay style. The comparison is perfectly valid.

If by "they share the same gameplay style" you mean "they are both first person shooters", then I would agree with you. Otherwise they play quite differently because they use different mechanics for health and damage, as well as the difference in speed of play.

Yeah pretty much.
I consider the other stuff gameplay mechnics.
