Please tell me how GoW can be a stealth game. You can't put silencers on your guns, enemies see you when you're behind walls and enemies know where your going to be because they just come out of the ground right next to you. Sure you can use stealth but it gets pretty hard and would be impossible at many points of the game.

Marvin, both games are truly amazing and it really just comes down to if you prefer 1st person (R6) or 3rd person shooters (GoW).

If you like Halo, get Gears Of War.

If you like Socom, get Rainbow Six.

I have both. They're both fun, and graphically amazing. I will say that I find the controls in GOW very cumbersome, while R6V's fit like a glove.

GOW is fast paced, white knuckle action. R6V is like a chess match with guns and gas masks.

If you can't aim quick, you'll get ****ed in your *** playing R6. I learned that in my first few games yesterday. I quickly caught on though.

Thanks for the fair warning, BAMF!

(Even if it was at your own expense.)

Awww, Bamf, you didn't do too bad on Sunday. I think you sucked for a map or two, and then you were keeping up with me after that.

One thing I found tonight was that a couple days on R6V amps up your Socom skills. I played S:CA tonight for the first time in nearly two weeks, which usually results in me sucking for an hour or two. Not tonight. I found that my aim, fire control and response times were all way better. Ask Odin, who I repeatidly put down with the HK5 while he was trying to QS me.

Then you should have been more specific before you posted what you did... not my fault.
