Which is negated by the fact that in 8 months after launch MGS4 will be forgotten while Halo 3 will still be played by thousands of people, like Halo 2. Not too mention I found MGS III's storyline to ridiculous as well as the gameplay. it was fun to set C-4 on dead enemy troops bodies, though, then detonate it.
Nope, MGS3 is also up there with Halo, just because it dosen't have all those cool weapons, and all of that dumb crazy action. MGS is an awesome stealth-Action game with an aswsome feel of action to match. And MGS4 will be remembered just as well.
Stealth action? neg. A good stealth action game is the Splinter Cell series. It's a good stealth action games because stealth actually.. matters. In MGS you can run around in the wide open half naked killing most people in plain sight with only your survival knife. I did that on it's harder difficulty 😬 In Games like splinter Cell you can't do that. MGS is an okay action game.
EDIT- I was wrong about Halo 2 being one of the top. It was THEE top LIVE game until gears of War came around http://www.gamespot.com/news/6162101.html
