I could not even finish Halo2.

Loved Halo.

COD4 is great, cannot believe it did not win Game of the year over Crysis.

Multiplayer is great, and not even the same arena as the POS Halo2.

Download the demo and try for yourself.

I hated CoD4 SP demo, but I still bought the game, the campaign was alot of fun (just didn't like that mission I guess). Multiplayer is great, until you get into one of those super-crazy-admin-nanny-extreme-realism servers (though some like it there..), where you haft to crouch all the time, never run, always shoot with sights, and ask permission to use UAV/bombs etc to name a few. It's great.

I just don't want to spend $28-$40 on a game that won't last me at least 6-7 months..

I used to play Jedi Academy all the time and it never really got boring....

Hated COD4 on PC - Dont like that style of MP, too awkward for me. SP was horrible i thought.

Loved Halo 2 (on Xbox) - Guessing PC version might not be that much good tbh, I would stick to xbox version.

Im sure COD4 will last longer, but not if i had anything to do with it

If you're looking for something that is similar to BF2142, then I'd recommend Quake Wars.

Otherwise, COD4 is better but doesn't have vehicles which IMO is what makes this game NOT perfect.

Halo 2 is graphically weak but the MP never gets old. (PS: VISTA ONLY)

If you have a killer rig (and I mean...a KILLER rig), you could try Crysis. The MP is not the best but I play it often simply because the graphics are amazing. It's the best MP looking game available right now.

I'm in the same situation as you thou(BF fanboy) and I haven't found a good replacement for the series. Hopefully, BF3 will be coming out soon.

Well i'd say that COD4 beats H2 REALLY easily, but Halo 3 is about equal to COD4. But this is all opinion really - just get both and see what you like! Heck, it's only like £20-£25 a game which isn't really much at all.

You could always get Counter Strike: Source or Day of Defeat: Source, both of them games are really cheap off Steam and have given me hour upon hour of fun. CSS is almost 4 years old now and still as fun as it was upon release. Just make sure you find a server with some decent, fun regulars and you'll have a blast.

If I had a 360 I would have Halo 3.. I wish they would make a pc version...

And I would have a 360 if it weren't for all their malfunctions...

Well I have played halo 2 PC and its great (Halo 3 is much better) The MP for halo 2 PC is okay. You have to have a Live Gamertag. If you have a Xbox live gamertag then that works. So if you had a Xbox 360 with xbox live halo 2 PC would be good. (I love playing every now and then and BXR people...lol.)Also its really hard to play the game with a mouse and keyboard so use a xbox 360 controller. In halo 2 PC there is a little bit of delay from when you shoot to it hitting the person. So it takes some getting used to. I have not played COD 4 for the PC but its great on Xbox 360. So I would say get COD4 because It is a great game. MP is really fun. I just hate how you die so fast. I mean it nice to see a guy, shoot and kill in one or two shots... But I like how in halo how you have a little bit of time to run away or stand and fight or die.

So the vote goes to COD4.

100% cod 4.

Halo 2 on PC is not comparable to CoD4 on PC. The game just feels dated and old in comparison.

CoD4 all the way if you're looking at a PC Based shooter, the following on this game is huge, if you plan on playing multiplayer online, you'll want a game that actually has a decently sized community.

Also remember you're comparing a half year old game to a game that's technically 4 years old (now I know the PC version is only about 1.5 years, but its basically a clone of the xbox version). If you have a powerful enough system, halo 2 will seem lacking compared to CoD4 if you can max out the settings.

Also remember, Halo 2 = Vista only, that might be a deal breaker right there if you're still using XP

I reccomend buying cod1 and cod2 instead for the same price. COD1 has the best single player ive ever played and cod2 has the best multiplayer. IW is crazy to get out of the WW2 setting. I also reccomned the orange box, which gives you 5 games for the price of 1 cod4. there are much better deals than COD4.

This isn't even a question. COD4 by an avalanche of a landslide of a tsunami.

orange box if you don't own it, i choose other

I've never liked Halo, not even the first one.. I've always loved the COD series, and COD 4 is a bit different from the other series because it is a moderm warfare style now. I'll go for COD4, but that's my opinion
