Congrats Halo 4! I have to agree Halo 4 has best graphics than CoD.

Halo runs away with the graphics category. Personally, I prefer Halo's campaign, but I can admit that Black Ops 2's campaign is arguably better in may other respects. Halo 4's multiplayer is still more enjoyable to play despite its laundry list of annoying issues...

Halo 4:
-Connection issues
-Starting matches with uneven teams
-The Playlists and the silly rotational idea as it's been implemented thus far
-Major deficiencies for Custom Games & Forge
-A limited amount of matchmaking maps on release (incorporate the Forge maps)
-Bolt Shot (charged shot requires a major range nerf)
-Spartan Laser (requires a damage buff)
-The default weapon despawn timer for Loadout & global ordinance weapons should much greater
-DMR (requires a RoF nerf)
-Covenant Carbine (requires an extra reserve magazine or a large magazine size)
-Battle Rifle (change it from 12 bullets to break an opponent's shield to 10)

Black Ops II:
-Connection issues
-Many decisions involved with Custom Classes
-Gameplay

HALO 4 ROCKS! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! 178,354. what a beat down by halo 4.

What have we learnt from this?
1) Fanboys where the only ones to vote
2) No one voted for Black Ops 2 because they are playing the game...while the halo community is on the forums saying "fix this fix that" or looking for solutions to problems created from the update.

What else did we learn? That Iced Cougar has some BLOPS2 losing butthurt.

Cougar you're just like every other person that can't accept the fact that CoD sucks.

Prefiero halo sin duda

Wouldn't expect less from 343i

I'm not a fan of Call of Duty, just call it how i see it.

Cougar, you're arguement is dumb. CoD fanboys didn't vote because they were playing the game? It took 2 seconds to vote. Also, don't pretend that you're a Call of Duty lover. I don't care that you are, just don't bash on us for loving Halo more. Regardless of what you say, the difference between the votes of the categories is huge, so it doesn't matter what you say. People like this Halo game better. It's not to say the the new CoD is a bad game. And as for the community input, 343 actually listens to their fanbase and implements what they want where as CoD developers don't listen and give the same old game each year. Quit bashing and "calling it how you see it."

just the truth

Awesome!

Great Job guys!

People tend to vote for the one they actually own, most don't have both games.

IGN is a mouthpiece for Mircosoft so I don't really trust the results anyway.

wow kinda figured that they would be more even on the multiplayer aspect not surprised about the rest though

This wasn't a fair vote because the majority of players who like COD are too young to know how to vote in IGN

see what I did there ;)

So much win.

That's right! Halo 4 is awesome! Call of Duty is not. There you have it.

Man I knew that was coming of course halo wins in graphics, but 343 did a amazing job with halo campaign, though black ops did have a great campaign. But I thought black ops was going to win multiplayer because that's kinda why I have black ops 2 it has a great multiplayer but halo 4 does have a great multiplayer.

Absolutely no surprised there!
Well done 343i!

I LOVE MY HALO LIFE

Although there was not even a debate it's such a sweet victory when it teaches the fanboys some sense.. Well done 343i and well done to our community. WE ROCK!

I always knew Halo was better than CoD, but WOAH! Halo friggin dominated!

It's hard to be objective when the poll is on a Halo website. That being said, I didn't like Reach or Black ops. Where Black ops 2 seems like a continuation, Halo 4 is a good mix of Halo 3 and MW.

I've been playing CoD titles on multiplayer hardcore for a long time. I like that mode, I like the crowd that plays that mode, and I like the challenge that mode presents. I want Black Ops to succeed in the market, I want to continue to play hardcore with players who appreciate that type of competition. --- That being said, I am extremely impressed with the end product that is Halo 4. I can't help but feel how much effort was put into this title, and I'm excited to see more. There are some misses by 343 to be sure (I'm not worried, the updates provide confidence in 343's ability to adapt). But overall the Infinity experience is addictive, immersive, and highly entertaining. To me, the choice isn't even close. I'm playing Halo 4.

Wow I was just casually reading the comments when I saw Scorrin burn a Halo hater. If he doesn't like Halo so much then why is he on its offical site?!?!?!?!?

Halo. Why? simple really...

The story. Very deep, engaging and emotional story that spawned many novels to make a truly unique and engaging universe.
Plus the multiplayer that MLG played the most.
Plus the Award winning soundtrack.

And every thing else (Forge, Custom Games, Theater, Firefight, Spartan Ops, Red Vs Blue, Forward Unto Dawn, Halo Legends, Arby 'n' the Chief, Best Vehicular Controls in any FPS ect.)
