black ops 2.h4 is not like halo at all imo.

Complains about Halo 4 being COD. Buys COD.

 

[lLemonDemon]

Halo 4

 

[DMeisterJ]

Both

Yep.

 

[MMaRsu]

If you must get a shooter, go with Medal of Honor.

And get Dishonored because we need more good new IP's.

why would you buy the copy of the original if the original is available?

 

[Mileena]

neither


but Blops 2 if I had to pick

 

[AHA-Lambda]

I'll buy Black Ops 2, rent Halo 4 and skip Medal of Honor.

 

[SomeOneInaHat]

Halo 4 $100 Special Edition on launch

And then Black Ops 2 for January

Dishonored in December

Spoiler

Mechs! Explosions! Horseback riding! Assassins!

why would you buy the copy of the original if the original is available?

Why buy an apple when you could have an orange? Let us compare them!

 

[The Antitype]

Both, but I already know I'm going to play Halo 4 more than CoD by like 10:1.

Valhalla is back!

 

[AkimbO_Arcana]

Halo.

Get a WiiU if you want to play Blops2.

 

[The Awesomest]

I don't care for either of those two games. Get Halo 4.

 

[see5harp]

Anyone who actually plays both games knows that they play nothing alike. That said, Black Ops 2 looks like it could be a fun ride while it lasts. I'll end up playing both games at some point, but for MP I will stick with Halo 4 for years after release.

 

[Mileena]

Get a WiiU if you want to play Blops2.

what?

 

[MisterAnderson]

Halo 4 lol.

 

[Fox Mulder]

Not even a question. A game that has a sequel every year or a game with a sequel every three years. For longevity alone: Halo 4.

While CoD is an annual franchise, it has two development lines that alternate every year.

It's a question of the now superior Treyarch CoD or the first Halo not made by Bungie.

 

[Apath]

Well neither are out, so I really can't tell you which is better. If you like COD more, get Black Ops 2. If you like Halo more, get Halo 4.

I've personally always enjoyed Halo more, so I will be buying Halo 4. I like Halo more because I feel the gameplay is a lot more variable and open to choice, while the multiplayer is overall more enjoyable for me.

 

[EdibleExplosives]

Your fanboi mojo is weak!

 

[rapid32.5]

Halo 4 start that fight already, campaign not as shitty as COD. there is more effort put by new studio, for sure.

 

[SpacLock]

Halo 4 is my most anticipated.

I'm getting Black Ops 2, also.

I'll never have time to play either as much as I'd like too.

Buy both.

 

[Kaako]

Easy choice for me; neither.

 

[Gray Man]

Look how gorgeous this game looks.

Halo 4

 

[Stinkles]

They both seem like fine games to me, but you should probably go with the one with the most starships and ancient evils. Just my two cents.

 

[Stoffinator]

Both

My vote goes that that too.

 

[AkimbO_Arcana]

what?

I'm a sucker for superior versions.

 

[Overdoziz]

If you must get a shooter, go with Medal of Honor.

There's an open beta for 360 gold users starting this Friday so the OP can check it out if he really wants to.

Spoiler

The last MoH was really bad multiplayer-wise.

 

[schwabdizzle]

The correct answer would be Halo 4 for Single Player and Blops2 for MP.

 

[AkimbO_Arcana]

The correct answer would be Halo 4 for Single Player and Blops2 for MP.

Because COD mp is supposed to be what? better than Halo mp?

LOL

 

[MoonLightWave]

Definitely getting Halo 4, I'm not sure about Blops 2 yet.

 

[01DragonFly]

>.< Bops2( wii u launch ) then halo 4

 

[fallagin]

Halo 4 from what Ive seen.

 

[Ashodin]

If only those two? I'd pick Halo 4 man. Gonna be killer shit, and I ain't even a fan of Halo.

But we all know the real winner is:

 

[mhi]

BOPS2

.

Star Control II?

 

[DocSeuss]

Halo 4 has like... what, ten weeks of free, co-op DLC? Obviously I've got to get Halo 4.

 

[Naked Lunch]

Halo 4. Duty is dead.
Duty is overrun by children. Every server is kids kids kids and on the local front I have a 6 year old cousin who lives and breathes COD as does all his buddies - just for some perspective.

They're still responsive and well produced games.

Minus MW3 and COD3

 

[mxgt]

As someone who thinks both franchises are utterly terrible, Halo 4 definitely seems more interesting than the yearly COD rehash

 

[soulassssns]

Both because I can.

 

[theDeeDubs]

I don't like either. If I had to choose though, it would easily be Halo 4.

 

[RyudBoy]

Halo 4 definitely at launch, BLOPS 2 sometime later.

 

[Bullza2o]

I would choose Halo 4. If I wasn't getting a Wii U I would get that and renew my Xbox Live Gold.

 

[higherARC05]

Look how gorgeous this game looks.

Halo 4

So good. :_)

 

[AppleMIX]

Neither.

Dishonored for October, Hitman for November and I'll just preorder a bunch of games for 2013 in December.

I's probably go with Halo 4 but it's really low on the list.

 

[Acquiescence]

Neither - they're both generic-as-hell gaming personified. I'm just done with first-person shooters, until Bioshock Infinite comes out. That looks like a refreshing experience within the confines of a FPS at least.

 

[acevans2]

Both of these games are sounding pretty rad, which is great because I was a little down on them at their respective announcements.

 

[PSYGN]

Why not both?

 

[Mooreberg]

why would you buy the copy of the original if the original is available?

Maybe he already has the Infinity Ward games.

 

[DR3AM]

halo 4, this will be the first cod game i will miss since cod3

 

[cuilan]

Play an RPG instead

[Muffdraul]

Why not both?

Because THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE.

I'm sure lots of us are getting both. I am. But he specifically said in the OP that he only gets one shooter per year.
