Call of Duty 4 vs Halo 3

I have heard that over 400 thousand people play Halo 3 simultaneously nightly, that is an amazing figure and one that shows how popular Microsoft’s Halo 3 is.

Although I loved playing Halo 3 on my Xbox 360, I left it for Call of Duty 4 on the Sony PS3 which I find a much more addictive game (although it has had its problems while playing online).

COD4 is also a very popular game, but how does it stack up against Halo 3 in amount of gamers playing online.

Call of Duty 4 vs. Halo 3 number of people playing online, what do you think?

    These games cannot even be compared. There is no reason not to own both of them. I switch back and forth between them when one starts frustrating me. These are easily the two best FPS out there.

  • craig

    halo 3 sucks! play gears of war or something worthwhile, even halo 2 is better despite all the money they put into halo 3 biggest let down since kane andlynch (or was that ot after). anyway i guess thats opinion if you like it play it.

  • daniel

    fuck you craig more ppl play halo 3 than COD4 1.3 to 7-8 million

  • Jeremy

    I find that Halo 3 and COD4 are both equal and like Eddie said he does just swtich between both of them because they are both great games to play.

  • craig

    yeah thats it swear at me over the internet. it official fact that cod4 was more played on xbox live several months in succession then halo 3.

  • Johnny

    It is a true fact that 7-8 million people play Halo 3 a day. Call of duty, only 1.3 million. I have looked on bungie.net and ubisoft.com to compare the numbers. Sometimes, 400,00 people are playing halo 3 simotaneously.

  • Zan

    Halo 3 is so garbage compared to COD4! There are just fanboys and noobs who are not good enough for COD4 and are too scared to even touch it. COD4 is a way better game than Halo 3 and deserves more players! The most i ever saw play since WAW came out was 50k on Xbox Live. I still see 200k people playing halo 3 which is a huge upset because Halo is not even that good. L/

    HALO 3 ALL THE WAY COD4 BLOWS CHUNKS

  • eric

    lol cod 4 is awesome because u actually use ur guns. maps are way more complicated too. halo 3 is fun but mostly its just a bunch of idiots hopping around with gravity hammers and what not. i hate games like halo and gears cause guns in those games are underpowered. its not about who’s more skilled, but instead who can get the rocket launcher or spartan laser or energy sword first.

  • Bob

    How are guns in Halo 3 underpowered? You don’t see the professional gamers running for the Gravity Hammers or Energy Swords. The skilled players use guns (such as BR’s and Snipers), your probably not one so you wouldn’t know.

  • Boston

    Isn’t that the whole point of Halo? Halo is all about weapon placement. Call of Duty is about classes.

    I like both, personally. In my opinion, Call of Duty has a better campaign, but Halo has better multiplayer.

  • Glade

    Well CoD4 has a much wider audience so it is played way way more than Halo3.

    Also Halo3 really is about who can get the better weapon first on a map.

  • COD_Piece

    Haha they both suck compared to MGO.

  • Eric

    Both games are great but I just find CoD 4 a bit frustrating. Oh yeah and for those guys who said Halo 3 is just mindless idiots jumping around, screw you. Halo 3 take a lot of skill in my opinion.

  • http://prnews hennasy

    man shut up people.. its just a game both games are awsome and i play both of them, those who said halo suck, cum play me and ill give u what suck mean… so plz people just play and have fun

  • C.O.D. 4

    lol…man halo has been the same since it came out…wat differences are there in 1 2 and three?? oh yea…COD 4 kicks halo 3′s ass any day!!!!

  • i CoD x K i N G

    Are you dumb, or just stupid ( CoD 4 Modern Warfare )is the #1 Best selling game & what is halo 3, Nothing thats right did it get Talked about ever by judges didn’t think so, CALL OF DUTY MODERN WARFARE is the best game out there ( other than CoD WaW ) You understand ? and if you dont hit me up ill reck you at any ( CoD Game ) “iCrAzY Williams” and if you don’t messg for a Invt ” i Totaly understand” your a little bitch :)

  • bfrekhbf

    i agree with boston. there both great but id say the cod campaign is more addictive but halo 3 has a great multiplayer system. it just really too close too call.

  • King Loved

    are you guys fucking stupid…..? halo 3 is based on the future u morons it cant be compared and for you idiots saying yeah "halo jumps like 100 ft in the air" well for you idiots that think that its based on the future…and the reason halo 3 hasnt changed over the last few games is that they found a concrete game and hahhah for you morons that say C.O.D.4 is played more then halo compare 7.8million a day to 1.3 million a day or lets just think aobut u morons that are saying hahah C.O.D.4 was a best seller lmfao you morons halo 3 came out how long ago? If they came out at the same time halo 3 would have over thrown C.O.D.4 by millions of copies sold and yet…halo is still selling copies…hmmmm?

  • cynthia

    halo 3 is definately the game to play. although i will say that both games are for people who sit in their grandmaws basement and have no life at all. just like me :) haha

  • woooo

    ahahah you retarded prick, halo is fucking piece of unrealistic crap. only damn morons could play that pile of shit game that doesnt require any real skillz. go play call of duty 4 promod and see what real skills are. btw mw2 DESTROYED and halo game in selling copies,so yeah go play your noobish halo shit,or maybe you should go n play tetris cause its better then halo crap.. and yeah cod4 copies are still selling.. what about that retard?

  • oOiTzOwNeROo

    dude i like halo3 more than any game because there arent as many people talking trash on it. Modern Warfare 2 cant even stand up against cod4 let alone halo3…All of the cods ever to come out and the ones that are coming out will never even come close to being as good as the halo series. end of story. thats it nothing u do will ever change that so grow a dick and switch to halo if u still play garbage mw2 or cod4. Those games take no skill. My sister couldnt get a kill on halo and when she got on mw2 she got a fucking ac130. Point is cod sucks. grow some skill .we already beat you so there is no need to make urself look like dumbass anymore

  • Saber

    Are you retarded?? Halo 3 takes more skill than CoD 4, by miles. I have had so many people who played both games, and all have said that Halo 3 takes more skill. What is so skillful about one shot one kill in Cod?? Since when is that more skilful than 4-shotting someone in a br fight??

  • Jack

    After reach halo 3 had over a million people playing at the same time while reach had around6-7 hundred thousand. People only play cod because its easier to pick up and play and much easier to get a kill in. also it is across all platforms which boosts its number a hell of a lot. Im not saying cods shit, i find it a fun game to jam and play a few games of

  • Your maker

    Your a retard. the majoraty of poeple in cod sit in a croner till someone comes round it and sprays the shit out of them with bullets hoping one will ladn for a one hit kill. In halo your have to aim and hit the target multiple times to get a kill proving the more skilled player will land more shots get the kill and emerge victorious. Oh and did i mention you have to AAAAIIIIIIIMMMMM to kill?! cod is just a bunch of bad gamers trying to look good by getting one hit kills to boost their ego
