360 gamers, pick your favorite shooter

Since there was a thread about CoD 4 being the "best FPS game ever" I was curious to get an actual opinion about what everyone's favorite shooter on the 360 is. I'll try to include all the "big" titles, if I miss one let me know.

For me it's a tossup between CoD 4 and Gears of War, I think Gears gets a slight nod.
 
I voted COD4 cause I've spent the most time with that game, though Gears was awesome too, can't wait for Gears 2.
 
I voted Halo 3 because it's the only one I've played. TF2 is probably my favorite out of that list but I've got it for the PC.
 
Gears for SP campaign and MP

Army of 2 for CO-OP campaign

One of these days I'll get around to TF2
 
Seeing this list made me realize I'm sick of shooters. I have CoD4, GoW, R6, GRAW and I can't even decide what I like best because none of them left a lasting impression. Guess I'm just burned out on them.

Now back to Ticket to Ride. 😉

I've owned and beaten all on the list but Battlefield and GRAW and it wasn't hard for me to pick. I have been sick of shooters before but most of those I don't think I've gotten sick of yet (at least not permenantly).
 
I really liked the COD4 SP Campaign. MP is good too.
I like Halo3 as well, I play it more because all my buddies play it.
 
I don't think you should include Mass Effect in there, shooting is not the focus of the game and the combat is very much ruled by stats not skill.

I picked Bioshock, that game is very fun if you have a creative mind.
 
My vote: COD4, the multiplayer is a lot of fun. It is by far the most fun I have had on Xbox live.
I really like the GRAW games singleplayer, but on live it is a pain to just jump in a match so I don't even bother.

Halo 3 is fun, but I just haven't had as much fun with the Halo series since the first.
 
COD4 is my favorite multiplayer shooter, but I thought the single player was lacking. Gears of War is probably my favorite single player / co-op shooter, but I voted for Mass Effect because it's my favorite 360 game. 🙂

I've played GTA4 (3rd person really) and Bioshock. Bioschock is 10 times better.

I havent tried GTA4 online yet. I tried once and some asshole was online saying "I bet this idiot doesnt even have a headset" as the game was loading. It really turned me off to playing GTA4 online. Am I missing anything? Is it worth playing GTA4 online at all?
 
I wonder how the poll would differ if I'd posted it a week after Gears 2 was released 😛

From what I understand GTA 4's multiplayer is a blast but since the "newness" has worn off you'll probably find alot of diehards playing (and probably lots of pseudo-whiney kids...if they can tear themselves away from CoD 4).
 
I just got COD4 last weekend and was immediately hooked after the first game on XBL. Now I can't believe I waited so long to try it. I used to think FPSs were only worthwhile on PC, but COD4 completely changed my perspective.
 
I'd have to say COD4, and I didn't use to like COD games.
I bought it when it was on-sale, afraid to get disappointed again after COD2 and COD3 - I'm glad I did.

I was really surprised with how polished this game is.
Super refined - looks like they had plenty of time in their hand after that COD3 crap.
Single player campaign has plenty of modes, all super fun, cool cinematics - some are interactive, strong story/character dev (for an FPS)
Multi player is a lot better than COD2 and COD3, free for all is awesome (since most players don't know how to play in a team anyway)

For me it's: COD4 > GoW & Bioshock >> Mass Effect

It'd be wrong to compare COD4/GoW with Bioshock/Mass Effect
