On a side note, it's nice to see N+ on top of the XBLA list this week. Those free XNA games may have stole some of its spotlight, but N+ obviously didn't mind.

Same old story: CoD4 is still the Xbox Live king

I'd like to say thanks for pointing me in the direction of N+, I wouldn't have even looked at it if it wasn't for the fancast. Awesome game!
On another note, COD4 > Halo 3, yea I said it, what? bring it on!
On a further note, where's the fancast this week??

You only say that because CoD4 is an individualist shooter. One person can completely rule a lobby. Not to brag or anything, but I know this because I do so.
On the other hand, in Halo's team deathmatch, some kind of teamwork is required to win. But, as many on this site know, most Halo players play each match like it's a regular deathmatch.
Simple explanation for CoD4's popularity: individualist shooter for the individualists in Xbox Live.

I say that because COD4 has a better story IMO, better online including perks, airstrikes, helis etc. and contrary to your individualist idea, team tactical, search and destroy, headquarters, hardcore playlists, these aren't tactical? Obviously some are better than others, that's inevitable, doesn't automatically make it individuality.

Better story? What story? That's a joke right?

I'm sorry, you must be one of those kids that enjoys faceless heroes in space...on planets in the shape of rings, fighting with 'frickin lazer beams'. The story has variation, innovative levels, you're never bored really playing through the single player campaign, unlike other 'epic' games I know.

COD4's story is far superior to Halo 3's. It has better pacing, more dramatic action, a more satisfying conclusion and a way better post-credits epilogue. Just because it's not about a bunch of made up alien stuff doesn't mean it's not a great story.

Yep I'll 2nd those comments.
Thought the story was really engaging.
And Team Tactical is where it's at online.

Just wait until R6V2. Then we can crown a new champion.

It won't be a new champion, it'll be Halo 3 again. R6V2 will pull just enough people from COD4. But I'm not getting R6V2 and my friends said they're sticking with COD4...can't wait for the new maps!

COD4 sucks, the only reason so many people move to it is because of hype and/or they suck at halo.

Riiiiight...
Moving right along past the silly anti-CoD4 statement, I would like to say how to amuses me to no end to still see all the Halo 3 players try to their silly jumping defense move on CoD4. It never works, people. Learn a new tactic.

I love when they run at me then jump... Then fall to the ground dead because in hardcore it doesn't matter where I hit you.... Your dead by deagle....

So being limited to the ground is more fun now?
Halo's gay big jumping is one thing that makes me love it so.
*sad face*

I think 4 weeks is long enough for everyone to accept it and move on, not needing to be retold about it every week.

COD4 is a great game....Halo 3 is also a great game. Apprently a bunch of people with the maturity of 7 year olds can't accept the fact that there can be two equaly great games and if one is above the other on the XBL played list its the end of the world. So pretty much its a case of COD4 fanboys shut up, we know your game is on top most of us can't care less. Halo3 fanboys, you shut up too, so what Halo3 wasn't on top, face it Halo3 is the end all be all of games, sure it does have great features and really pretty graphics but still.

Agreed. Well put. Some people appreciate fantasy in their games (jumping really high, alien weapons, etc.), some appreciate realism (Earth gravity, realistic weapons, etc.) in their games. Neither is better or worse.
We, as gamers, need to put aside our diffs and unite! Find solidarity in the one fact that connects us all: we hate the outdoors!

I just hate the fact that I can pump half of a clip and not kill a guy in H3.
oh and the fact you can't run.
no perks.
no air strikes.
no helicopters.
no prone. (I never do unless I need to crawl through a hole.)
Oh, I have seen idiot tea bagging in COD4.
I do have to admit I like vehicles in H3.
I'll play H3 some more when the the maps becomes free.
