Webster94 Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 (edited) Halo: Reach Vs Call Of Duty: Black Ops. If you could only pick one out of the two which one would you buy? Personally i would choose reach, but then i am expecting the majority to choose reach considering i posted this in the reach forums.

Magnotron Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 Neither. Black Ops looks like a Nickelodeon cartoon and the Reach beta wasn't that great. But if you forced me to pick one, I'd pick Reach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purge Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 I preffered World at War to Halo 3: ODST, so I'm going with Black Ops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowSHOWERS Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 Both!!! hah nah i'd probably go with reach because it seems like it has more to offer at the moment and i love the halo storyline. I have blackops preordered too but prefer reach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pearson Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 I'm not saying this because this being on the Reach forums, but I prefer Reach over COD: Black Ops. Before you say anything, yes I have both pre-ordered, it's just that I like forge and designing my own MP maps, something that you can't do in any COD games.

Atroxx70 Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 How about this, they're different games that appeal to different people. They are both going to be good games and both will have their fanboys that will be willing to troll forums in the blink of an eye trying to start arguments over which one is better. I'm buying both, I'm playing both, and I'll most likely enjoy the shit out of both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iSuperNova X2X Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 Halo Reach, no questions asked. The Call of Duty franchise is going downhill, they have to stop making them soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeekBoy Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 reach for the story since i love the story of halo but COD for the MP just because i was never a huge fan of halo MP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm buying both, I'm playing both, and I'll most likely enjoy the shit out of both. I understand that they are both very different and that they appeal to different people, i was just curious as in my opinion they are the the two biggest games that are bound to have both a strong multiplayer and single player. I was just wondering if you could only pick one, which one would it be? I mean does the Halo franchise have a special place in your heart, or maybe you you've racked up forty of Call of Duty gameplay and you haven't had enough?

That's my point though, I wouldn't pick both. If I were somehow forced to, it would probably be Reach just because it has more features. Between campaign, Firefight, Forge and multiplayer there are multiple ways to keep things fresh. I just don't think Halo vs. CoD is a fair debate because they are so different. Sure they are both FPS but they are miles apart individually. It would be like comparing Super Mario Bros. to The Legend of Zelda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dumbdumbjr Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 I preffered World at War to Halo 3: ODST, so I'm going with Black Ops. Picking World At War over ODST shouldn't br a big deal as ODST wasn't meantto be a full game. As for my choice, Reach. It's given me more nerdgasms than I can count.

BigBadBradBallz Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 I have Reach preordered as of last tuesday. It will probably be my MP of choice for a while. Also, I have always thought Treyarch doesn't do near as good of a job as IF does with the COD series. If non of the achievements are online or are fairly easy for Black Ops then I will pick it up also if only for SP and achievements. Meh, i like Battlefield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kraderic Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 and the Reach beta wasn't that great. Just because the beta sucked doesn't mean the Reach multiplayer will. The developers said it themselves to never assume what you see in the beta to be in the final release; it's merely a testing process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I don't see why it wouldn't be the case for Reach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LegendaryDiablo Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 Die-Hard Halo fan, and i prefer the future over the past, even though Reach will be Halo's past, but still lies in the future, not too confusing but yea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrCool Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 The beta won't be much different from the full game. It never is. So I don't see why it wouldn't be the case for Reach. The point of the beta was to fix flaws in multiplayer and they have. Bungie has fixed the double melee, and overpowered frag grenades for example. Also the beta only had a few maps whereas the full game will have a bunch more as well as different gametypes/playlists so you can't judge a game based on its beta.

Magnotron Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 That's really nice of them (I mean it), but the core gameplay remains flawed. The pace is too slow and loadouts make everything too inconsistent. I don't think those points will be fixed since those are design decisions.

The pace is too slow and loadouts make everything too inconsistent. I don't think those points will be fixed since those are design decisions. Just curious, but how is it flawed? The changes they've made to the beta has increased the pace of the game; they've increased the speed at which the bloom resets, allowing you to land shots more quickly with much more accuracy, and given certain weapons larger ammo clips. They've also increased the movement speed and jump height some. Also, the loadouts are there to help you in a bind when the situation isn't always ideal. No more are you going to spawn with only an AR&Pistol; but instead a more situation-specific combination of weapons to help you defeat your enemies quicker, instead of scavenging the map for weapon respawns.

Fireball6554 Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 Halo > CoD CoD is filled with campers and cheap killstreaks that ruin the game and promote camping (I'm looking at you nuke.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
