I had the thought after reading someones reply to some parts of Legendary being too easy on Halo 3. I thought to myself, \"well, it can\'t be too hard all the time. Look at Gears - it had some very easy areas during Insane mode.\"

Now I want to pose the Q to you:

Which is harder? Halo 3 on Legendary, or Gears of War on Insane? Keep in mind, I am not asking which game is better, which game has cooler graphics, or whatever. I am asking which game is harder on thier respective hardest difficulties.

Also, you must consider both a single player attempt, as well as the co-op attempt.

Here\'s my answer: Halo 3.

Even in co-op, Halo 3 Legendary difficultty is a feat to conquer. When I nailed Commando for Gears, I did it with a buddy... and it was hard, don\'t get me wrong, and it was very fulfilling. However, we managed to do it pretty much in one sitting. Halo 3 however, seems impossible to do in one sitting. And I have never died so many times in one level when I compare to Gears. Could it be my skill level? I know I am decent at FPS titles, but have slacked when it comes to Halo2 and 3, in favor of Gears.

Gears to me, will remain one of my favorites, but I would suggest that the Legendary difficulty of Halo3 is a true challenge over Gears.

Now, for Q2. Since I said that H3 is harder then Gears, I will counter it with this one: Which is harder - H3 on Legendary, of Call of Duty 2/3 on Veteran?

Think of this as you reply to the fuirst Q and if you want to answer this one, go ahead. As for me, I haven\'t been challenged more than in CoD2 Veteran, and am most proud of those achies than any other ones earned.

It's been a while since I've played Gears campaign... but I didn't think the Halo 3 campaign was too difficult. My friends and I beat it on Tuesday night in about 5 hours straight. Maybe it's only easier because you can have four players instead of just two, which is what we did but I don't know. It's hard to judge.

The Call of Duty's are definitely more difficult than both of them.

Well in my opinion, I believe that GOW was harder than H3 this time around. Reason I say this is because in co-op mode with four player instead of two and two computer controlled characters, halo can be put to bed fast if your crew knows or experience First person shooters before.

Now on single player it would have to go to Halo 3 because there is not much help from your AI soldiers and there is nowhere to duck like in GOW.

Now COD 2 Kicks both there asses hands down on the toughest meter because that game took a lot out of me as a gamer. I t made me think up moves that I didn't think of before (Like the grenade bounce: Bouncing a grenade off a wall or person to get at a enemy hiding in cover to make them move so i can shoot them or kill them with the nade). I never worked so hard for 1000 points in my life and that I have to say is my proudest gamer points.

I liked the campaign better in Halo 3, I like Gears online play better, I think.. I haven't got used to the Halo online I think that's why! I'll probably end up liking it better

Wow! Quite a diverse set of opinions here! However, one thing still seems consistant: CoD2 still ranks supreme as the hardest campaign. I would like to add into consideration a lessor known/played title into the uber-difficult mix: Bullet Witch on Hell mode. I have yet to achieve that...

What other uber-difficult games should we consider? Rainbow 6 Vegas on Realistic? BioShock on Hard? Prey on Cherokee? Aegis Wing on Insane?

What else?

i dont know about bioshock being to difficult I beat the whole game 1000/1000 in about 2 weeks. I know it will take longer going solo on H3 on legendary. And yes COD2 was a thorn in my side for the longest time.. but I did it :) 1000/1000
