- xcelx1023, on 01/22/2008, -35/+340I'm glad to see COD4 claim the top spot, imo its a better game. Congrats to IW.
- doctorfungi, on 01/22/2008, -31/+207Lol @ HALO fanboys being pissed off at this.
Lol @ HALO haters trying to rub this in.
They're both great games for ***** sake :) - mrfreeziexp, on 01/22/2008, -15/+188Congrats to CoD4 and Infinity Ward, they definitely earned this.
- Autofac, on 01/22/2008, -28/+162Hardcore Halo nerds are some of the most angry, bitter and arrogant gamers I've ever met.
- inactive, on 01/22/2008, -41/+120It's cool to hate on Halo, so let's ignore the fact that Halo 3 came out 2 months before Call of Duty 4.
- Sle3per, on 01/22/2008, -6/+82You won't be a happy camper for longer once my UAV is up.
- jayfish, on 01/22/2008, -11/+81That didn't bother me so much. What I got fed up with was emptying two magazines into someone and watching them hop away like an Apollo astronaut.
Jay - inactive, on 01/22/2008, -22/+89And why is Bungie arrogant? Bungie gives its players exactly what they want. They also change their playlists based on what people are playing more and add new maps every few months (at a cost, but its better than nothing).... Activision does none of this with CoD4.
If you don't like Halo its one thing, but Bungie is one of the best gaming companies there is. - inactive, on 01/22/2008, -9/+69The bar has been raised. I haven't touched Halo 3 since playing COD4. Now if Microsoft can just get XB Live working at 100% I'll be a happy camper.
- CannonGod, on 01/22/2008, -20/+80I think gamers get fed up with the terribly 'elitist' gameplay habits of Halo players, they move over to another game where everyone begins on a similar playing field. It's nice to reset to zero once in a while with online games.
- pcpimpster, on 01/22/2008, -4/+58Ever play a game called Counter Strike? There is some angry nerdlings on there too.
- CreateHavok, on 01/22/2008, -7/+57It also sold more. Microsoft wouldn't want you to forget that.
- StingerMS, on 01/22/2008, -24/+74I'm really proud to see this. I've never been a big fan of the Halo series since the original. WAY too overhyped. Call of Duty 4 is an amazing, well-built game and I'm proud to see it top it. Let's hope it stays that way.
On a side note, I'm glad to see Rock Band FINALLY hit the top 10. - unicronband, on 01/22/2008, -4/+51"Halo 3 is filled with a bunch of 12 year olds whose lives consist of 3 things: School, eat, sleep, Halo 3"
Uh, that's actually 4 things. - KingGoonie, on 01/22/2008, -28/+66I predicted this months back when someone said it would never happen... not for a week or a even a day, they said it was impossible. Its not.
COD4 is by far a superior online multiplayer game. And pretty much everyone knows that. Hell sales of COD4 will eventually overtake the overhyped Halo 3. Know why? Because people who are just getting a 360 are NOT buying Halo 3, but buying COD4. Why? Because the word of mouth... pretty much COD4 is getting the rep for being one of the best mulitplayer games of all time and an incredible single player campaign to boot while Halo 3 is getting the rep as being a good game, but thats it... that the whole hype surrounding it is unwarranted. Hell even those that gave it high reviews laughed when asked if it was a Game of Year candidate. Thats the other thing, most places had COD4 in running, only losing out to Galaxy maybe.... Halo 3 was hardly in the running anywhere. - xXGeechXx, on 01/22/2008, -4/+41I think if Halo 3 had a leveling system similar to COD, I would definitly have played it longer... that leveling system is by far the greatest thing including in an online multiplayer game.
- NaziHatinChimp, on 01/22/2008, -9/+42Some think that the cucumber makes the better pickle.
- KingGoonie, on 01/22/2008, -6/+36Wow... let me get this straight... You had a sentence with Halo 3 in it, yet it was ANOTHER game you were calling the rehash? Wow... that takes balls...
- watership, on 01/22/2008, -9/+38Let's see. Halo mentioned on the internet.
Someone says Halo is over-hyped. Check.
Someone says Halo is a bad game. Check.
Someone mentions that Halo online is full of badly behaved children. Check. - Sle3per, on 01/22/2008, -7/+35I knew your name before you signed your post. (next time you could leave it out)
Sle3per - MrBeamish, on 01/22/2008, -4/+29Good on em - COD4 is a fantastic game. I've lost count of seeing the phrase "I haven't even put Halo3 back in the 360 since I started playing COD4 online. It's a blast.
Not that it really matters - Bungie have made a huge amount of cash from game sales alone, but if they want to tempt more players back to playing H3 online, they might want to think about lowering the price of the downloadable map pack.
COD4 has hit upon a very simple premise that has kept Nintendo in business for years - players like to collect stuff. Lots of stuff. The achievement system is so vast and addictive that it adds to the enjoyment of the game, as does not having everything unlocked right from the start of your online campaign. - inactive, on 01/22/2008, -2/+25Yahtzee should review CoD 4.
- doctorfungi, on 01/22/2008, -2/+25They both make good games. I'd rather see them both prevail and continue to make fun, enjoyable games.
- Foamator, on 01/22/2008, -3/+26UAV Jammer Perk FTW!
- roosterjm2k2, on 01/22/2008, -2/+24Or, you can try not being a Douchebag and enjoy Multiple games...you know...you dont actually have to pick favorites...you can enjoy them all and leavy your fanboyism at the door.
- bweltondav, on 01/22/2008, -3/+24Our UAV is online!!!!
- jmreid, on 01/22/2008, -3/+24hanging around the website? You must be really close to them.
- cawpin, on 01/22/2008, -3/+23I ***** hate that *****. Especially when you surprise the hell out of somebody and they are laggy. Boom! Headsho.....wha?
- Sairgem, on 01/22/2008, -13/+33If you're unloading two magazines on someone and they still don't die, you need to learn how to aim.
- xXGeechXx, on 01/22/2008, -6/+26Cool, I actually still play COD4 online where as I quit playing Halo several months ago.... I think I played way to much Halo 2 MP for Halo 3 to have the same effect...
- wattersm, on 01/22/2008, -6/+25Nah, I've had it happen plenty of times too. Hell, you can shoot somebody point blank in the face with the shotgun and they still won't die.
- inactive, on 01/22/2008, -22/+41there's no doubt cod is better, it would've been a shame to have the most overrated game overshadow a gem like cod
- wire02, on 01/22/2008, -9/+28Come on Team Fortress...Orange Box FTW
- Aiwanei, on 01/22/2008, -4/+21Also how is Call of Duty 4 a rehash. new setting? check! new maps? check! new multiplayer features? check! so what did they rehash exactly, the name?
- Tebixan, on 01/22/2008, -7/+24These Halo haters seem pretty bitter and arrogant too
Anyone getting pissed off because of how much someone else likes a video game is a little ridiculous. - ShugNinx21, on 01/22/2008, -0/+17The Chappelle's show quote is: "Some people think cucumbers taste better pickled."
- KingGoonie, on 01/22/2008, -10/+27Correct me if I'm wrong... but COD4 added maps... for free.. a few months ago... Or at least expanded certain maps to be playable in other modes. But they definitely added something during there last update. For Free.
- chader144, on 01/22/2008, -4/+21Here is my issue with COD4... When I am having friends over I am not able to play on xbox live the same way I can with Halo. If they had that I might not go back to halo other then to give people a good no tactical thrashing.
- Tainek, on 01/22/2008, -6/+22Remember that COD4 is also big on the PC and the PS3, i am sure that overall COD4 has been selling better, and being played more online than halo3 ever was
- TheWorm, on 01/22/2008, -5/+21Gears of War surpassed it way back in 2006.
- xXGeechXx, on 01/22/2008, -1/+17that game is way better suited for a PC
- supremesonic, on 01/22/2008, -3/+18Rock Band would be higher if it was out in Europe.
You hearing me, Harmonix?
YOU HEARING ME? - SwedishNinja, on 01/22/2008, -4/+17No, go back to your tea and crumpets and National Healthcare or whatever you Europeans do for fun.
- tooker, on 01/22/2008, -0/+12He doesn't review the multiplayer which is where COD4 (and most games) truly shine so his review for COD4 will be somewhat harsh I think. It is rather linear and can be frustrating on harder difficulties.
- JNudda, on 01/22/2008, -1/+13As a player of both H3 and COD4, I find each game awesome and enjoyable in its own way. So while you can easily argue COD4 to be the best multiplayer game to come out in the past year (and I would probably agree), I think H3 is one of the most innovative games we have ever seen for a major console (Saved Films, Forge, etc). Plus, considering how long Halo has been out, I don't think anyone is surprised to find another game would overtake it in XBL. And just like Halo, COD4 has its own share of douches hahah.
- KingGoonie, on 01/22/2008, -4/+16That is the one and only gripe... I don't care when at my house since I only have the single controller.. but at my nephews we wanted to play, and everyone wanted to play COD4 but couldn't, and so had to give in and play Halo. My brother kept asking whats better, we all said COD4, he said well then put it in so we can play online, and we were like well... we can't...
- supremesonic, on 01/22/2008, -0/+12Jolly good comment, old chap, jolly good. Right-o, I'll be off for tea and crumpets then, my good fellows. Toodle-pip!
- Tserk, on 01/22/2008, -4/+16There may be a few names to sling at Bungie, but arrogant isn't one of them.
- BrewBeau, on 01/22/2008, -4/+15There's no doubt that COD4 is a better single player game and it's multiplayer is good, but not great. The problem I have with COD4 is the inconsistent physics that are really obvious when you die and watch your death scene from the killer's point of view. On your screen, you are well hidden behind some cover and shoot several times before they begin to shoot, but on their screen, you're out in the open and they've unloaded half a clip into you. Halo definitely has COD beat in that department.
- daridave, on 01/22/2008, -3/+14Feels like DOOM3 vs Half-Life 2 all over again. Both games were fun but very different and ultimately, the game that felt like it had a more complex control scheme ended up being considered superior. Not that I disagree with that, but I really see the two games as completely different beasts (ultimately, if I had to vote, my vote would go to COD4, though).
