I recently watched a "top ten years of gaming" video on Youtube by Gametrailers, and they put 2007 at the number one spot, highlighting CoD 4 as being more significant that year than Halo 3.
So, that leads me to this question: Is CoD 4 Modern Warfare really better than Halo 3?
I vote no. I sat down and played Halo 3 last night and was so freaking impressed by the amount of customization options Bungie put into the game's multiplayer mode. They brought back a ton of options from Halo CE that Halo 2 didn't have, and in general it was the most customizable Halo yet, although CE is still my favorite for its gameplay, multiplayer maps and campaign.
So which do you think is the better game of the two?

Balder is gonna hang me for this but I enjoyed CoD more, even the multiplayer. This may have something to do with the game being harder to play on the Wii though.

Guilion You'd better start running now. You may still have a chance to escape death if you flee immediately.

Guilion hmm... user ban or IP ban. That is the question. But to get down to it... Everyone knows me as the Xbox/Halo guy. There is no escaping it, Halo is my game. I played it first, also played the previous titles, I haven't played any earlier CoD games than 4. I wasn't that impressed with MW1 when I played it; don't get me wrong, it's fun and all, but when you get down to it the gameplay isn't very deep. It's mostly who see's who first wins. Halo is an arena shooter; one can outplay the others if you're good. What can I say, Halo is better in every way for me: Gameplay, story, setting, music, campaign mode, co-op campaign for 4 players, maps... the list goes on.

False comparison: COD 4 is the first in a new series (outside WWII makes it the first) while this is the third Halo game.

They're not really comparable overall, at least not in my eyes. Although I will say that Halo 3 had a much better singleplayer.

On a side note, why the hell would they choose 2007 as a "best year"? It doesn't even compare to 2004 or 1998. Except for Portal and Bioshock (which I don't really like, being a lesser copy of System Shock 2), I can't think of any other game from that year that became a huge classic. That being said, Modern Warfare became much more influential than Halo 3 through the next few years (with a lot of games trying to be like it), so maybe that's why it would be ranked above, even if Halo 3 was the better game. I like neither, so the point is moot.

I can agree on that every other military shooter tried to copy MW, but Halo also innovated theater mode where you could film your clips and forge mode where you could make maps and play on them.

Someone disagrees with Balder and he threatens to ban them. Just block their IP and silence them forever! This is an unprecedented abuse of power.

I like neither, so the point is moot. Yeah, I agree, 2007 wasn't a very great year for gaming. Not bad, but it wouldn't even be on my top 10. In addition to all the overrated AAA titles from that year, I personally have very bad memories of '07 because of the shit-ton of disappointing Nintendo titles (Super Paper Mario, Super Mario Galaxy, etc.), but to be fair there were a handful of great games from that year, too, like Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn, Half-Life 2: Episode Two, and Halo 3. And here's the video in case you don't believe me: The whole reason I made this Vs. topic is because CoD 4 is often cited as the official Halo killer, something people at one time never thought would happen. I still remember the days when everyone at my school was crazy about Halo. God damn those days were great.

CoD has never and will never be the Halo killer. It was however the Medal of Honor killer (I think it was even its codename back in the day of developing CoD 1).
