Gears of War 2 
Halo 3 Overall Comparison This is a far match up. Both exclusives for the 360 and both have a coop and they basically have the same fighting aliens theme. The only thing is that will be a better compare is gears 3 with halo 3. I felt that gears 2 was a lot better. The main thing that sold me is that the shotgun wasn't nerfed and the boss was better. I am an avid shotgun user in video games and that was the most fun with halo was the shotgun in halo 3 they basically said I don't like shotguns except for very close range, even then there were many other weapons that were better. The guns in gears 2 felt more balanced. I could have any gun and not feel like I would be at a disadvantage in any situation, while in Halo 3 certain guns were needed for certain areas. The boss battle actually made sense in gears 2. Both games the player gets a BFG but halo 3 you fight the training bot from Star Wars were as with gears 3 (keeping with the comparison) you fight an Imperial Cruiser or at least an AT-AT and Gears 2 doesn't make you test your driving capabilities with random pieces falling out of the floor.This is by no means complete feel free to tack on in the comments.

I didn't really care for the Gears of War canon before Gears 2 came out, but like any normal gamer, I went back and retried Gears 1, which I actually found more fun this time, a little bit easy since my first time playing it I was running through on Hardcore and having little difficulty. SO when I played Gears 2, I found it just as good, more likely better, than the 1st. The online multiplayer was a lot more addicting than Halo 2 because it was more innovative, every halo game seemed to have ONE that looked suspiciously like blood gulch, so the maps weren't that creative.
The thing that bothered me the most about Gears being 3rd person, is that EVERYONE is built like 2 tanks rolling over each other, which, in my opinion, makes movement a little difficult... And another thing that bothered me (at first, when I played Gears 1) Is that EVERYTHING was related to A pretty much, It was a clever idea, but sometimes I just couldn't make Marcus do what I wanted...he would Roll when I wanted him to JUMP...it was frustrating.. *Deep breath* I'm better about it now though
Yeah, that was part of the story. The ending of Halo 3 was entirely more epic; all you did was laser the boss at the end of Gears 2, like, a million times. The driving at the end is fun.
Gears of War 2 = Halo 3
