both great games, however i think gears 1 is dominant in multiplayer by far, everything else gears wins. now that gears 2 is out there is no competition

y do ppl always compare locust to effing grunts... a brute would probably die, a brute captaind would win... a cheiften would pwn, bash the effing locusts head in, rip out its intestines and serve them in an expensive italian resturaunt with rosemary and red wine!

Ima total Halo fanboy, but i know that the gears r friggen sweet. personally, i think halo is best, but gears is the best next thing... i think halos storie is better. both the gears r better than halo 2 tho.

i like both games alot. i think gears has a better story, but halo has better co-op. but gears has horde mode, making you feel the need to team up with your friends to survive. in halo, you burn through enough ammo and you'll win the fight. in gears you need to adapt to survive. their online is mostly the same to me, though halo is a little bit better. halo's vehicles are more fun to drive/fly but gears vehicles seem more realistic. except for the lamp-gun destroys krill by looking at them thing... i think games that are massive like this should act LIKE fallout and let you customize your soldier. i dont mean like how you customize your spartan/elite in halo. i mean like, voice, expressions, specialtys, height. that would be fun and probably get both platforms alot of money....

i like both games and each are great in their own aspects but gears of war 2 graphics are better and the fact that you can kill people in so many different ways but in halo u can crate maps on forge and drive loads of different things eg banshes and scorpians and halo has 4 and about to be 5 games and loads of different books and comics so i would say that halo has a bigger fan base but gears of war can be more fun so overall i am undecided on what is better

I agree with you 044magnumx comparing GOW2 with halo is like comparing an elephant with an ant.

Need it be said? theres nothing wrong with taking cover. especially since the locust are alot tougher than little screaming aliens with pretty pink guns.

are u kidding me halo is so much better gears sucks balls. i think its embarising to whoever made gears to stand up to bungie. how about you play both games throughout and tell me wats better. halos storyline is great. you could custimize your character to the max.multiplayer game modes are almost unlimited. you could do custom games and forge...i mean wat game has something better then forge.....now compare this...gears vs army of two! army of 2 is so much better more stuff but dats 4 a diff article i mean play army of 2 its great...gears is nothing more then an embarrisment to the gaming world and to have it on xbox its just a disgrace!!!...

gears can be summed up with-we spend generations raping their planet, then when they finnaly defend themselves we call it an invasions. halo has amazing enviroments, a detailed plot, and spectacular vehicular combat. its strategy is incredibly complex, and yet it has a beutifully simple control system. halo owns. also my first comment on gamesradar :) :) :)

Only thing that makes gears better is that they have a great little thing called GRAVITY. Ever freakin heard of it people?

O and I like more realistic games, and who cares about what the bad guy looks like, as long as he ends up in little pieces. P.S. Halo splatters don't exist, nothing happens to the body, c what the shotty does on GOW now thats a splatter.

Come on people Halo doesnt compare to GOW 2, the main characters for example, marcus has more personality and doesn't weigh half a ton. Game play has no strategy for Halo and no one should be able to take a 50 cal. to the chest and survive, they rip through car with ease. There also no dive in halo and no change of pace(running). I like the racial diversity(Cole, Tai, Dizzy, etc...)
