Halo vs Gears of War
An Xbox smackdown.
Since 2001, Halo has reigned supreme. But now, Halo has a challenger, in the form of Gears of War.
The Spartan Forces, led by Master Chief, have teamed up with their enemies, The Covenant, in order to take out the COG's (Coalition of Ordered Governments) Marcus Fenix and the Locust Horde.
When the smoke clears, who will reign supreme over the Xbox once and for all?

Spartans & Elites > COGs and regular locust.The Elites technology is also far superior to both the COGs and the locust.
Halo would win.
In terms of franchise and the like...Halo 3 better be Uber or else GOW might replace Halo to as the Big X's baby.
But by the looks of it, it could happen. They're getting close to what MC is trying to stop, so it may only be like 5-6 levels.

I hope it does replace Halo. GOW is a much better game then Halo 1 or 2 ever was.
I doubt it will replace Halo. Master Chief has (basically) become the mascot of the Xbox. Like how Mario is Nintendo's mascot but everyone says Zelda is better.
Gears of War is a fun game but I hope it doesn't replace Halo because I am looking forward to Halo 3.
Even though I didn't like Gears of War all that much considering it wasn't all that great as people say it is and plus Unreal Tournament 2007 for the PS3 is going to be way better then Gears of War since alot of them are just wannabe's that think that every Xbox 360 game is good but Halo doesn't have better weapons compare to the COG lets face it Halo weapons are extremely weak I use to have Halo and Halo 2 and lets all be truthful here has there ever been a powerful weapon in the Halo seriei's? I'mean come on I don't thinks so the 2 submachine guns sound weak and they even look weak
and the first weapon from Halo that is going to return in Halo 3 is the same looks powerful but it sounds weak and shoots weak to even the shotgun in Halo 2 was pathetic it was weak as well lets face it the Halo weapons are pathetic while the Gears of War weapons look better and sounds a little bit better.
The COG and Locust win on the ground due to Rewmacs, APC gun, and a few of those big mothers that the Locust have, seeders and such.
MC can be killed in like, one hit more then likely from an APC shot.
But the Halo team ultimatly win due to the fact that their ships are uber, and will just glass the planet anyway.

I actually have to give the ground combat to Halo. The Elites can just go camo and pick off Locust and COG soldiers with energy swords or snipers. Plus Brutes can take a lot of damage and really close in quickly and they were strong enough to flip a Phantom without much trouble. Plus you got Hunters that moves in groups which would really make Locust and COG soldiers focus on them giving Grunts, Jackals, and Elites an opening to attack them.
Plus they have Banshees, Phantoms, Sceptres, Warthogs, and Scorpions. Not to mention Hell Jumpers are quite capable of fighting any COG soldier point for point. Master Chief would be able to handle anything that comes his way. Heck the Corpser was killed by Fenix and Dom so I'm sure Master Chief and Johnson could take one down.
Berserkers on the other hand seem to be more of a problem. The only way I can see the UNSC marines or the Covenant taking one down is by blasting it with plasma from plasma rifles and of course from Hunters. Heck don't forget about the Special (Silver) Elites that seem very capable of handling even the most dangerous of foes.
And you throw in the Flood. I mean the Flood would just storm the COG and Locust soldiers to force them to waste ammo while the UNSC marines and Covenant just pick them off as they reveal their location.
On topic the Locust/GOW universe won't ever beat the haloverse unless there's some heavy PIS involved. Just think about it the Covenant are an intergalactic empire while the Locust and COGs are still grounded on Earth/Sera. All the Covenant need to do is glass the planet from out of space ala Reach. Besides even in ground Elites & Brutes will give most of the locust(seeders/berskerers/corpses excluded) a run for their money.

Eh, I forgot all about the flood, and you raised a few other good points as well.
The COG lose here... the only chance they would have had is their APC guns, but it would only be a matter of time before the combined Halo ships take out the satelites...
EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY:
The whole idea of this battle is not using any high-tech weaponry (such as blasting the planet from space), since that would be a disadvantage. This battle is straight-out firearms, melee weapons and explosives ONLY.
Brute force and numbers alone can't determine how a battle is won. You have to outthink and outmaneuver the opponent.
The idea of this battle is to make Stalingrad and Guadalcanal look like a fight at a football game.

It doesn't matter how good you are in battle. When you are VASTLY outnumbered beyond reason...you're not going to win.
