halo isnt skill. halo is jump a lot shoot at them and melee. the extreme armor also gives those that are hit first the opportunity to jump and kill the other person which takes out the 'surprise' element and throws it all into whoever jumps the most.
bah! then why is the most used gun in Halo Reach multiplayer the mid-to-long range DMR, if all that CQJ (close quarters jumping) is occuring? besides that, halo isn't about surprise, it's about the skirmishes, a homage to fencing, 3 touches, you lose. In halo, five shots, you lose. If you're stupid enough to let the enemy hit you enough times before you can sprint off, armor lock, or drop a shield, you deserve to die.
btw, jumping isnt too common, as control in air is limited and the actual momentum makes a slow jump. Easily exploitable with a backstab. it doesn't happen anymore, the community has evolved away from that behavior.
Halo is more about knowing where to be and when to be there. COD is about Map knowledge, gun skill, teamwork(In competitions), and just plain hand/eye coordination. So my vote is for COD.
COD Why? COD lets you... -Learn events more historical than Halo -Better storylines -Does Halo let you kill Zomnies dawn to dusk? No. I didn't think so.
-Learn events more historical than Halo -Better storylines
I had to laugh at this
1. Ermm, it's fiction, both of them are. CoD has very little basis in reality and seriously if you want historical information in a game try Age of Empires II
