[Music]
where do your allegiances lie welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’re going
head-to-head deathmatch style with two
of the biggest FPS video game franchises
on the market today Halo and Call of
Duty
[Applause]
to determine which of these gaming
goliaths will stand victorious as king
of the hill we’re examining aspects of
each tile and not just who can score the
most tea bags
round one story before this is all over
promise me you’ll figure out which one
of us is the machine an alien race on a
religious journey to unlock the secrets
of a series of mysterious planet sized
rings leads them to the human colony
harvest in the 26th century and over the
next thirty years humanity finds itself
thrust into an intergalactic war against
a technologically superior enemy in one
human world after another failed however
a top secret military experiment
involving the creation of genetically
augmented soldiers known as Spartans is
fast tracked in the hopes of saving the
world from complete annihilation enter
the Master Chief John one one seven one
of the last surviving Spartans who is
awoken from cryostasis to confront the
alien covenant and who comes to learn
the ominous significance of the titular
halo worlds the Covenant will write this
ring its forerunner the Call of Duty
series spans multiple eras of warfare as
the originals focused primarily on
historical events the stories were in
effect already written
modern warfare plunges the world into
World War 3 instigated by Vladimir
Makarov whose massacre at a Russian
Airport remains one of those
controversial scenes in video games
black ops dabbled in the Cold War and
Vietnam with the most recent titles
transporting the players into the near
future and although there is some
consistency existing within the series
an overabundance of characters and
multiple storylines turns these games
into more of a spectacle complete with
car chases boat chases chases through a
favela and of course WMDs this no reason
called duty arts disconnected and more
episodic making it difficult to relate
to any of the playable characters halo
on the other hand has a much richer lore
that continues to grow and as Master
Chief players get to participate in The
Legend of one of the most iconic
warriors in video game history winner
halo
no I feel just getting started
round two single-player campaign halos
Control Center is located there that
structure appears to be some sort of
temple or shrine I’ve interpreted this
correctly first three installments of
halo maintain a solid length of nine to
twelve hours of gameplay and could be
enjoyed cooperatively in online and
sometimes in swift rain a memorable cast
of characters expansive environments and
intense battles with challenging AI
combine to result in some of the most
highly regarded campaigns in a
first-person shooter
vehicles are also offered at
intermittent points during the campaigns
each of them handling
well mostly well and you can jump in and
out of them at any time
coming in somewhere between five and
seven hours Call of Duty’s military
shooters have a shorter story and act
more as a vehicle to showcase advanced
graphics and action sequences that would
make Michael Bay proud enemy opponents
are not terribly challenging most often
beating players through their
overwhelming numbers rather than through
intuitive tactics
apart from a couple of notable moments
may gamers have found the single-player
campaigns of Call of Duty to be rather
railroaded offerings very little
deviation from the aside path and with
some rather restrictive vehicle sections
in comparison like Ops 2 does offer some
branching paths but it’s the exception
rather than the example you’re the
president down there why provide cover
fire halo is first and foremost a story
driven game and it’s longer campaigns
allow players to become invested in the
saga and feel more like a participant
whereas call duty uses its campaign as
an excuse to blow things up in a variety
of increasingly pretty ridiculous ways
winner halo and we will be too sir if we
don’t get the hell out of here hit
Lorraine no sir then listen up round
three multiplayer
the series that redefined online gaming
multiplayer in halo first began at LAN
parties at friends houses which later
blew up with the arrival of Halo 2 when
players could battle online via Xbox
Live however it was halo 3 that took the
experience to a new level
when Bungie Studios redefined their
match making algorithm making for more
balanced teams and allowing gamers to
build their skill level as they climbed
the ladder of competition halo 3 raised
to the bar for the multiplayer arena
which inspired and challenged other
developers in the years to follow the
multiplayer in Call of Duty has been one
of its defining characteristics though
in the glory days of world war two
shooters Call of Duty 3 reign supreme
boasting impressive twenty four-person
teams in sprawling maps that while
frenetic never felt congested
afterwards in the modern renditions the
series moved to focus on straight-up gun
to gun battles with almost unparalleled
customisation and by rewarding
performance with killstreak abilities
and who can forget nazi zombies that’s a
game-mode that first appeared in call of
duty world at war where players take on
wave after wave of the undead becoming
an instant hit among fans while halo
paved the way for the modern multiplayer
experience developers like Infinity Ward
and Treyarch went above and beyond the
call of duty by creating an accessible
fast-paced online shooter that continues
to draw millions of gamers daily winner
call duty round for weapons and
abilities
despite the game being set in the 26th
century many of the weapons in Halo are
quite similar to those we see you today
and fulfill a specific role covenant
weaponry is slightly different but in
the end they generally serve as alien
counterparts to humanity’s arsenal the
forerunners the elusive species
responsible for building the halo
installations have interesting weapons
as far as their design is concerned but
again even a technologically superior
race seems to have made weapons that are
largely unimpressive weapons all serve
their purpose and are quite functional
but there’s no customisation to further
refine their abilities meanwhile the
weapon customization has been a key
component of the multiplayer arena in
call duty silencers can be added to
almost any gun for those who prefer
stealth play or if you’re the type who
enjoys the smell of shrapnel in the
morning perhaps an attachable grenade
launcher is right for you larger
magazines stronger ammunition longer
sprint time or being invisible to enemy
radar all provided distinct advantages
as these games were technically based in
reality at least at first the weapons
are incredibly authentic and look sound
and function the level of detail is
always truly staggering giving players
the ability to build a class of soldier
unique to their style of gameplay
in fact the more recent Halo games are
now playing catch-up to call of duty as
three four three iterations started to
introduce their own take on the class
customization that made call duty the
multiplayer juggernaut it is today
winner call of duty
round five legacy your compassion for
mankind is misplaced
I’m not doing this mankind halo has
broadened its reach by growing into a
full-fledged franchise that extends
beyond the game itself and into a series
of novels comic books live-action
adaptations and action figures in
response to Apple’s Siri Microsoft
introduced Cortana to their Windows
operating system a sort of artificial
intelligence whose name is based off one
of the best-known characters in Halo
that is herself a computer program chief
really I’m fine
furthermore it’s almost an annual
tradition that one game or another will
claim to be the next Halo killer
boasting a better production in an
attempt to lure players and whether or
not any of these declarations are valid
the very fact that games continue to be
compared to Halo shows how truly
influential the series has been to the
FPS genre
conversely there has not been much
branching out when it comes to the call
of duty universe although a short comic
book series was released at one time
it’s legacy mostly rests within the
games themselves as whenever someone
brings up yearly releases one often
thinks of Call of Duty it’s impossible
to deny the effect that Call of Duty has
had on first-person shooters not to
mention on gaming as a whole that being
said by glossing over the importance of
innovation especially when faced with
fresh talented competition developers
run the risk of their product becoming
kind of stale heck just look at the
ratings of that infinite warfare trailer
there may indeed be more call duty games
out there but the annual release
strategy in recent years has started to
become the series’s own undoing by over
saturating the market we’re now seeing
gamers move away from the military
shooter and while halo 5 definitely
wasn’t its best entry the series as a
whole still held up far better in regard
to what Call of Duty has done over the
years winner halo
how so
halo wins this firefight with a KD ratio
of 1.5 I mean a score of 3 to 2 so did
we pick the right team
