This is unfair.

How so?

^relative popularity of the series. Plus people that don't know either will recognize the name Spartan.
John
The main character from Gears was a felon on death row. The Spartans were genetically-modified badasses meant to fight a war.
Generic
I can see why you would think so, but being a SPARTAN is one of the coolest things ever to me. Power armor, space travel, being literally the strongest weapon humanity has ever created... I love GOW, but becoming a COG is just not the same. Some are badass, but most just get mowed down. Even the name is demeaning, it's saying you're just another piece in the machine. Not a person, not a soldier, not an unstoppable force. Just a cog in the clock.
U mad bro?
yup this is unfair FOR THE COGS!!!!!!!!!! SUCK IT GEARS OF WAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Alexandra Lea Larsen
Halo can only ever win if the spartans actually did something besides wear armor that makes them look gay. There just isn't enough sex and emotion in that game. And the humor is dry and terrible. Kids will never understand Gears until they get to be in college. Gears is dark, deep, full of pain and violence. Halo is for 10 year old pussies who like to spawn kill and use hacks. Let your balls drop, then let me know when you people can finally appreciate Gears. Until then, take your sorry whining ass off of here.
Edwin Lais
"gears is dark, deep, full of pain and violence". Thats why people chose spartan. The question wasn't 'which game is better'
Datasar
Well of course theres more than one spartan out there
Alexander Sabatelli
Soldiers of Sera are properly "Gears of the C.O.G." (Coalition of Ordered Governments).
Dan the pikachu
What's gears of war???
Jonas
@Alexander Lea Larson I have never heard a more idiotic statement in my entire life. So what if there isn't enough sex in the game?! And dry and terrible humor? Last time I checked there was NO humor in GOW. Halo is about saving the whole human race. GOW is about "saving" some sort of mining colony from it's native inhabitants. Play video games when you actually figure out Halo's storyline.
Yungblud
@John says the guy NAMED AFTER THE MAIN FUCKING CHARACTER OF HALO...i don't care, fucking chainsaw gun
niko Bellic
It is not unfair
mineprax
unfair? THIS IS SPARTA!!!!!!!!!!!!
Justin Morris
um Alexandra Lea Larsen i got the game when i was 7 ing i understood it and loved it, im still not in collage yet i know the game perfectly well, yet i still love gow better
Evalgra
Okay...am I the only one who thinks the word "cog" sounds gay?

XD I'd probably be the worst spartan... I make the stupidest fails in real Halo... I'd probably be demoted right away... but it was really the only one I knew :\ But mainly cos of the energy sword.

SPARTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@Alexandra Lea Larsen Who cares about the looks of armor. It gives you a shield, and you as a human are genetically modified to smarter, stronger, faster, etc. Also, last time I checked, why does a shooter game need comedy? Both are full of darkness, pain and violence. Cogs get mowed down and have a demeaning name. Spartans have a bad ass name and wouldn't even have to worry about being "spawn killed," because it would be real life. Everybody would have the mental capacity to not shoot their team mates, and multiplayer wouldn't exist. Ten year-old children wouldn't be fighting in a war; their training would be progressing until they are eighteen or so. Everybody is on the same team (United Nations Space Command), and there would be an airsoft equivalent used for training, not real guns.

I chose gears of war because of NOSTALGIA sort of.
brooke
why?????!!!!!!????????!!!!!!!!!!!
Andrew
Stupid GoW Fans. Bungie beats fokin GoW
uwotm8
sound like Alexandra Lea Larsen is just a little butthurt.
pilot88
all the people who chose gears of war are raging like 2 year olds
Komaeda Nagito
@Alexandra Lea Larsen I've never played gears of war, but I can agree with you that there isn't enough emotion in Halo, but a sex scene isn't important at all.
Ethan
Spartan forever
Bloody knuckles
@stevenoton I totally agree
I Like Bread
So a genetically modified Titanium-armored badass super-soldier vs a strong dude with a chainsaw gun?
Jaime
Not really!
tf2giantman
if you were a spartan you would become stronger, faster, and smarter. Plus Alaxandra, 117 has fucking Cortana so bitch dont say that it makes them look fucking gay
tf2giantman
i forgot to add that you would get a shield
LiamTheBoss7
Your mom is unfair
Foxy_FNaF
u r unfair boi
jane
BRUH how is it unfair
Lex Lutfisk
If you were a spartan you would have been abducted by the military at age 6 (or so)
Lergen
wtf even is a cog? Not googling it. Don't care enough.
Kaio
Alexandra just how is wearing an armor means they're gay? if that so Everyone from halo would be gay.
Kael Schwabauer
I personlay prefer Gears of War gameplay but I would prefer to be a spartan
quantummidget
Also most people won't realise the horrific process to become a spartan. You are kidnapped from your parents and flash-cloned. They then send the clone back to your parents where it dies within a few weeks, while you are put through gruelling tests and processes, of which few survive and most that do are horribly disfigured. This question assumes that you do survive and become a healthy spartan, but you'd still lose all of your friends and family, and be turned into a mindless machine which only wants to follow orders. TBF, I haven't played either series so I don't know what the process is to become a Cog, but considering how human they look and act, I imagine it's a damn sight better.

not the halo spartans but the "this is Sparta " spartans
Gauldur Blacksoul
Greek Spartans were easily killed. They thought they were tough, so it would be common to see their bare chests ripped open in one hit. The Spartans of 2525 were able to withstand falling out of a ship in orbit and hitting the ground at terminal velocity.Difference much?
Nicolas Neo
dude read the option. "Become a Spartan(HALO) " ITS FCKING HALO DAMMIT
asneakyfatcat
My life would be completely sad and heartbreaking and I probably wouldn't survive the genetic implants and neural revamp, but if I did live I would be one hell of a badass :D
GreyIV
It says to become a spartan...so I suppose it would imply that you survived the augmentations. If that's not the case, than I guess my dreams are cut short.
tehLulzbringer
Can I be a real spartan? Not some pussy astronaut with lasers?
Gauldur Blacksoul
If pussy now constitutes ripping a gatling gun off of its stand with your bare hands and tearing the leader of a pack of eternally pissed off apes a new arsehole.
tehLulzbringer
Yeah... too bad that will never happen because halo is a videogame
TG_BaconMobile
What are you talking about "pussy astronaut with lasers" Halo spartans had to go through genetic modification and experimentation to become badasses that run straight into battle. plus most of the weapons in halo aren't even lasers. They fire actual bullets. Of course there are the alien weapons but even they don't technically fire lasers, it is either super-heated plasma or hardlight. And the question clearly says "Halo." So I am sorry buddy but no. I'm not hating on GoW either.
LOLking
I've always liked GOW better than halo, idk just not the biggest sci fi fan.
Kasterion
Dude! GoW is Sci fi! Have you not seen the Chainsaw guns?! and the Armor? Gosh.
KylerthegamerMLG
Kasterion.... GOW is not sci fi, sci fi is science fiction, halo is sci fi for spartan lasers, pulse cannons etc. and in GoW is ther any sciency weaponry...
Lex Lutfisk
Well humanity has colonized a planet called Sera and GOW is science fiction, last time I checked we didn't have chainsaw guns in real life
ThatShawnGuy
It is fair because spartans have to go through rigorous training, as well as genetic enhancement. There is a high chance of them dying before they even reach the battlefield.
rjsjvsfkrw
lol the question is HALO no king leonidas, the spartans don't have to train to be amazing
James
@rjsjvsfkrw He was talking about the videogame. Spartans have to go through extensive genetic modification to be as awesome as they are, and then train to learn how to use their uber-bodies to the extent of their greatness. A lot of the time the genetic modification killed them, which is what That ShawnGuy is referring to.
Blake
But wouldn't they not be Spartans until after the generic changing? So the ones alive would be Spartans. Then you just have to train.
TG_BaconMobile
@James but the option: "Become a Spartan" implies that you survive the genetic modification. That doesn't mean that it isn't painful though.
Adam
COG is way better all spartans die!!!! and we get awesome weapons
wintercoat
You also live in a dystopic future where there are giant bugs coming out of the ground and the likelyhood of death is just as bad as with a Spartan.
acpimp
One spartan hasn't died in the series yet... sooo what if you're that one?
Matt
Care to explain Reach? Not just the game but all the Spartans who died in training, augmentation, glassing of the planet
Gauldur Blacksoul
Shut up. GoW is just fat guys in vests swearing for no reason. Plus, COGs are morons. Example? Your gun breaks. Spartan solution: punch the leader of an enemy squad, steal his gun, carry on. COG solution: Swear, get up from cover, get shot in the head.
Milan Teerink
.....what about all the spartan/alien guns??
weirdo
@Alexandra, what?
niko Bellic
The cog don't get tanks though
TG_BaconMobile
@Gauldur Blacksoul says the guy that picked GoW, not that I don't like Halo, thats what I picked isn't it?
FireWolf
Spartans never die! There just missing in action and it's a program now other can join as the cog are the last military presence.
Bolbi_Apparatus
But you also can't fucking run properly
Cas
HALO 4!
Jonas
Halo 3 was better.
Kenley Polanco
Im a fan of both series but i seriously think a spartan would never lose against a cog
vampa
i love gears so...
TG_BaconMobile
@vampa I applaud you sir, you said you liked gears without trying to come up with every isult you can for Halo. Thank you sir (or ma'am.) This isn't sarcasm.
smrzan
Disgustingly unfair question, Gears of War isn't as popular as Halo, plus, people who don't know either will think that Spartan is an ancient Greek soldier. OH And btw, If you've never played GOW, your default machine gun has a chainsaw attached to it... nothing else needs to be said.
Alexandra Lea Larsen
Hell. Yes.
Generic
Yes, but the average COG has half the life expectancy of a Carmine family member. I love both games a ton, but being in it, I'd rather be a SPARTAN.
TG_BaconMobile
@Generic THANK YOU! Someone actually agrees with me. Although to be honest I like halo more but I don't hate GoW either.
Luna
I'm a Gear bitch!
Music Clip
Halo all the way till halo 4 and beyond
obsidalicious
While a Spartan would win in a fight, lets not forget that Spartans undergo military training from age 6-ish and never have real fun that other children do. Also many have various psychological issues as a result of their training/service and half of the Spartans died or became crippled before reaching military service. And lets pretend you're so bad-ass at your respective field that your particular war ends: A Cog Gear who is simply a well trained infantry unit can hang up their gun and resume a normal life but as a war hero while the indoctrinated Spartans will always be soldiers stuck in the military doing fuck all.
TG_BaconMobile
You know... you make a very good point. I will always prefer spartans over cogs but you make a good point not to become a spartan. And thank you for not saying GoW is better because halo doesn't have sex scene. I respect you.
TG_BaconMobile
Also I only played GoW a little so if it doesnt have a sex scene either sorry, just trying to make a point.
Joshua Brown
Spartans are great. Super soldiers meant to fight the resistance and later the Covenant, and not only that, unlike the Cogs, they win!
Ace war14
Halo fags but im also a really big halo fan wtf brain!!!!!

Taternutz
I like Gears more than Halo. But This is kind of like asking if I'd rather be Captain America or a normal solider.
theTexan
Totally agree, and Spartans get to space travel and the fight is not at home
Shrapnel
SPARTAN: a super soldier with lightning-fast reflexes, agility, and insane strength while dressed in humanity's most technologically advanced armor. COG: a beefy soldier who has been forced to fight without a navy, decent supplies, and top-tier weaponry for over a decade. (Is also hated by non-soldiers) I love both games, but being a SPARTAN would be where it's at.
Tiernan
I agree with the strength because YOU CAN FLIP OVER A TANK!
Capps
Halo is so bad..
weirdo
Halo is really complexly awesome.
Alec Moore
The COG's got their asses kicked to many times the spartan's are at least super soldiers
Paul._.mcgee
Cogs get brutally ripped apart, spartans don't
DiamondDovah
Awwww yeah! Gravity hammers and energy swords while you guys suck on chainswords, bitches!
Alexandra Lea Larsen
Holy crap you guys are idiots. I have yet to see any halo character that has a fricken' chainsaw on their weapon. Master Chief is retarded and I would never say halo was a good game unless their was a graphic sex scene. Halo really needs sex. Unfortunately everyone who plays it is 10, so they'd just be freaked out by it... but still.... it'd be nice.
Jonas
It doesn't need sex. Are some sort of demented , 9 year old pervert? Shut up and go back to your pathetic little game.
DatsRandom
Alexandra Lea Larson... you give gamers a bad bad name. Like seriously watch porn if you are that desperate. I could only imagine you trolling and a someone not to be taken seriously
Rhys
How is halo for 10 year olds? Halo has books, comics, models and other stuff. And if any thing you're the ten year old because you're desperate for sex.
TG_BaconMobile
omg... I am sick of people making the dumbest reasons to hate a game, like if you don't like halo because it doesn't have a sex scene? My god. I am not hating on GoW either, don't get me wrong, I just hate when people pull some bs reason to hate a game. Yeah it doesn't have sex in it, DEAL WITH IT! go to the internet for that.
Zack Acors
At least the Gears don't need all that genetic enhancement shit. All we need is a shotgun and a chainsaw bayoneted assault rifle.
Tiernan
Spartan only need a shotgun to take down an entire army.
rivers
This is sparta
weirdo
Wrong side
Gerbil
being a spartan would be awesome i mean honostly if i have energy shields, gravity jump, plus tons of awesome space ships like the falcon im in plus i play halo and really fighting the covonent is really exciting ps covonent are halo aliens

Halo is the most overrated game of all time. GEARS!!!

Gears of war is a bunch of dudes (and like 2 chicks) that are so badass. In the last game (GOW3) then way that Dom died was badass and I like gears more than halo, myself.
