Eww, hard choice.. Hmm.. I'd say GoW. Im pretty addicted at the moment ;|
I personally got bored of Gears (and a bit pissed because I can't get the new maps in Germany).
I haven't played Gears since...I think June.
Anyways, I'd go Halo 3, because the number of people playin GoW will drop sharply come Halo 3 (Not just being a fanboy, I look @ reason).
While gears is a GREAT game, The campaign is just too short.
I don't see how this is even debatable, Halo 3 is the best for your money.
I love Gears of War, but since Halo 3 is out so soon I would say grab that, people will stop playing Gears to move to Halo 3 till they are all bored of it :P but IMO you really should own both of these games at somepoint!!!
Edit -
Oh Yeah, Gears of War still has quite a few online problems, some glitches still not fixed, quite a bit of bullet lag etc.
Yes people will stop playing GoW to play Halo 3, but this is hardly a strong argument, even if 90% quits GoW then it would still be easy to find a game. It's all about being able to play a game, aslong there are enough people online, then it just doesn't matter.
Whoa... my decision would be Halo 3. Since its new , plenty of people will play it.
Well personally I dont like GoW... So my vote is towards HALO 3!!
Halo 3 hands down. But, if you want to get an even better game and don't mind waiting a little while longer. I suggest you get Call Of Duty 4. It will put both Halo 3 and GoW to shame. But, for the here and now, I'll have to agree with NoPeace and say get RB6 Vegas. That, is truly the best game out there right now.
ye or get Grawr2
(Ghost Reacon Advanced War fight 2)
Again, it doesn't matter, who cares how many people play, aslong there are enough players playing it, GoW is still extremely popular, infact the most played game, in December it will turn Classic so it will have a boost in players. I doubt GoW will ever be bad online in terms of amount of players, so that's just not a argument to be made.
Personally I would get Halo 3 (by quite a long way), but then again I've already got Gears of War =p.
As a couple of other people have pointed out it very much depends on what you want from a game, but if you judge the game simply on multiplayer then you almost have to get Halo 3.
Halo 2's multiplayer is just amazing, and I'm confident that Halo 3 will be even better, and I'm sure it will blow Gears of War out of the water (although I think Gears of War is okay, it's not in the same league as Halo 2 - in my opinion - and hence it won't be anywhere near as good as Halo 3).
If you've ever played any Halo games (surely everyone with an xbox should have at least one halo game) and enjoyed them then I'd get Halo 3, if you're not in that situation then you have to think how important multiplayer is, and if you think it's one of the main reasons you buy games then without a doubt I'd get Halo 3.
Hope this is sort of helpful, and not just a Bungie publicity speech =p.

Well I got Addicted to Gears Of War Lol
But Halo 2 and 1 Were ownage.
it depends.
If You have Xbox Live?
or If you want just wait till someone gets halo and has Gear of wars and ask them?
Or go into a shop and Ask one of the employee's What one is rated better or ask him his opinion
GoW does not have the history with gaming that Halo 1-3 does, even if 3 is out, its geting more hype than GoW did when it first came out, naturally.
I say Halo all the way, altho i have GoW and Halo 1-2 on my 360 >.>
NoX
Seriously, who cares if it has a history?
HALO 3 OWNS GoW !!!!!
STFU and buy it when its released !
xD
