Be undead

The Hushed Casket was founded in 2002 shortly after the launch of the XBOX console. Today the Hushed Casket is a thriving community of gamers, playing together and publishing news and stories that have appeared in major media properties like Newsweek, G4TV, USA Today, and Penny Arcade. Some game developers have even referenced our guides and news to support their gamers. We don't play Halo. We LAN Halo.

Try being a PC gamer and playing on a console without custom maps, dedicated servers, Xfire, and customizable input devices. There's a whole culture in CoD4 PC that won't ever be able to be a part of the CoD4 360 version. Bungie's including of Forge will raise the bar for other developers and they'll eventually start shipping editors with their console games. But you are right. Halo 3's culture is much different than CoD4's.

Remember that Gears of War is really a close-combat fighter. Aim is less important in GoW than in CoD4 or H3 where you are able to kill the enemy from medium to long range. If aiming in GoW were important, Epic would have gone with the first person perspective. But, they gave us the third-person perspective. GoW is basically Mortal Combat in a 3D space. We've even got fatalities.
