I wont say which is which and which is better.

Put aside Black Ops, because it hasn't been released yet , but online footage shows that it is very identical to MW2, killstreak, perks, points rewards, etc.

I would say both has its own styles of Gameplay.

Halo Reach are more of sci-fi, you are space troopers and you shoot aliens, it is more of sci-fi fantasy than real-life warfare. You use imaginable weapons, jump up to the mid air, you drive vehicles in multiplayer, the locale is planet and spaceships, you are red team and blue team.

MW2 on the other hand, are realistic driven shooter. You use real guns, real equipment, you don't fly, you have no shield, you equip with perks, unlock guns, you dont get to drive vehicles but you can call in air support. The locale is realistic places, and you are soldiers or terrorists.


Both have great graphics, solid gameplay, and huge community.

So tell me, what do you prefer?
