GoW is a decent game but it's got far far less. The storyline in GoW is practically non existent, meanwhile I personally wanted Halo 3 because I was dying to know how the story ends. If GoW II comes out I doubt anyone will be wanting it to find out what happens in the story line...

GoWs gameplay is fun but insanely simplistic and overly straight forward. Halo 3's single player campaign is longer than GoWs and more varied with various ways to approach every battle always several largely different tactics to use in any skirmish. Seriously GoW is so damn short when I beat it I felt kinda ripped off. Not worth $60 damn bucks for those few short hours. You put both on their hardest difficulty and Halo 3 is FAR FAR more challenging, I've beat H3 on Heroic mode and now on Legendary and Legendary is whooping my ass. GoW has it's moments but it's a cake walk in comparison and don't get me started on multiplayer which is H3's main selling point. H3 laughs at the futile attempt of Epics in this area for sure. Halo 3 is now THE mutliplayer game of choice on consoles right now and will remain so at least until Unreal III comes and even then H3 may or may not still be on top.

GoW is a good game I own it, I love it and I will look forward to seeing a sequel if they expand upon their first games idea. Though if they want to impress me they will need to have a longer single player campaign and actually give us a storyline to work with if they want me to plop down another $60. Though with the crap Epic has pulled with Silicon Knights and other small developers regarding their U3 engine I may be boycotting them in the future anyways.

Bottom line is unless you are so shallow in your gaming that the only thing that matters to you is superior graphics I can hardly see how anyone could actually with a straight face say GoW is better than H3. I think currently the only next gen gaming shooter than beats H3 (on single player aspect only) is Bioshock.
to me they both suck about the same.vegas all the way
