I am with redsvetz on this. Bolt action is cool.

I tried to find a panel from Preacher where frankie is torturing Cass and and makes a rant about bolt action rifle...but can't find it.

I grant you that. Badass.

But, c'mon!

WWII? Bolt action rifles? No me gusta.

Amen

I enjoy killing someone when I shoot them. I don't like having to empty an entire clip on them to get them down. I feel like Halo gives you nerf guns to kill each other with.

Really? I loved the WWII call of duties. I still go back and play them.

We talking about the whole series here? B/C I never liked COD til Modern Warfare I and while that was a GREAT game for me, I haven't really played any of them since. But Halo 1, 2, 3? Those were the crackiest of crack during college times. Last shooter I played offline and first I played online. Last shooters I enjoyed the campaign in too. I could pick up a COD and enjoy multiplayer after a lengthy reflex tuneup, but I wouldn't have the least interest in campaign mode or whatever you call it. And I'd be just as or more likely to grab a Battlefield. That said, I'd probably be more likely to get a Resistance or something than jump on a new Halo. Maybe I'd give Halo IV a shot.

Halo > COD

P.S. it's not supposed to be realistic. They are space marines. Fighting aliens. In SPAAAACE!

I agree they don't compare well.

That being said, I have fond memories of sitting in front of my friend's 55" TV playing Halo with a cardboard divider down the middle to prevent screen looking between teams.

CoD I mostly just remember getting schooled by kids half my age...

Halo (the original) is probably the worst shooter I've ever played. Managed 3 or 4 hours of it before I had to put it down, and as a result I've never bothered with any of the others. One of the most dull gaming experiences I've ever had. Despite not being a fan of the Call of Duty series, at least I managed to finish Modern Warfare 2.
