So, I've played rainbow six since the beginning, taking trips back to mint, hacienda, etc... And about a year ago, I started playing COD, and I (at the same time) picked up vegas 1 and 2. Now, I've heard people say that rainbow six is better, I've heard people say cod is better, but after playing both for a while, they are both equally awesome and DIFFERENT types of games. Yes, they are both first person shooters, but DIFFERENT first person shooters, so don't judge them. With COD, you get get more fluid movement, smoother, IMHO, but less control over hosting games, customizing weapons, choosing weapon loadout configurations, cameo configuration, etc. But COD offers perks which gives you and advantage in a given area. Now, if UBI would let the makers of COD4 combine their gameplay style with the legacy of rb6, then that would dominate the fps world... But please stop comparing cod and rb6, they are completely different, but great games!

Dont forget Cod is supported by its Developers both Treyarch and Infinity Ward, Rainbow six is no longer supported by Ubisoft... This is one of the reasons I no longer purchase Ubisoft games.

i also think there both great games but i think rainbow might be a tad better because its more fair because in cod u get killed fast and kill slow... and in rainbow it just depends on where u shoot them... on cod i shot some one in the head and then some one else in the foot they died at the same rate but with this u get head shot points and they die faster in the head...
BUT BOTH GREAT GAMES

COD is dire online if ubi took tips off them how to create an online game i would never buy another ubi game again. IMHO its just like playing halo with prettier graphics RUN N GUN BORING!!!!! leave that for the kids who like to stick bits of crap to theire screens to get the drop on people quicker. this kills the whole experience for me and just causes people to lose theire tempers its just a game kido`s

That's odd. I find COD4 without respawns in SnD mode with hardcore options to be anything but run N gun. I am on PC though so perhaps consoles don't get those options.

I've also never had COD4 crash or have any sound bugs. There is even a map editor for it. Oh, and you can lean and not see magically over or around walls in a 3rd person cheat view like Vegas has.

Comparing COD4 to any UBI product in the last 4 years is like comparing a Ferrari to a Yugo.

Ouch.

i'm in limbo now, because i dropped rsv2 for cod5 about a half year ago, but now i'm getting into H4WX, and feel that cod is nearly as great a game as rainbow, and hawx is proving to be a great addition. i do feel like i'm more inside the real, than with some cod's maps that seem a little too artsy. hawx is a difficult game, but a good break from rainbow and cod, you should give it a try.

LOL, I like rainbow six and everything, but I think there's no comparation to be done; Call of Duty is better than rainbow six since Ubi incorporated that nasty cover system, health regen etc... Rainbow got badly screwed since Vegas.

The only good COD titles were from COD 2 and down, the rest just completely blow figuratively and physically.

I prefer realistic games, and if a game gives you perks that give you an advantage then COD is just not very realistic; and therefore, it sucks.

COD sucks donkey nuts, every one just camps so they can get a chopper

My clan prefers realism too, so we added the ACE Mod to COD4 and only play in hardcore. We instantly level up to 55 so everyone has access to all perks. Perks are more of a way to pick 3 advantages that your character will have over other characters in small ways. They add to the strategy because certain perks will be of more of an advatage when playing against certain other players. I don't think it is unrealistic for one individual to have more endurance or be able to switch out ammo faster than another. Real people aren't clones.

Then you are playing the wrong mode. Try Search and Destroy without respawns. Having an objective focusses the action and the only campers should be those defending the objective.

COD4 can be made to get very close to the level of strategy and feeling of the older R6 games, but it can't completely emulate that.

At least COD4 can have maps made for it and be modded. UBI killed any chance Vegas 1 or 2 had when they left those 2 things out.

another thing that IMO makes rainbow 6 vegas 2 games better then call of duty is the presence of a cover system. I think that not only the cover system but the fact that there are so many customizations for you character and wepons make rainbow 6 better...

The vegas/2 cover system isn't realistic though. Leaning is much more realistic. What real soldier is going to whip his whole body out to be exposed to the enemy?

the matchmaking in cod5 is better. there is no booting and absolutly no host advantage. i've virtually abandonded all rainbow play because of this.

Also,not to forget that for the people that complain about the cover system,and the way you c all around in cover(x ray vision),rsv2 has a hardcore mode i guess if u wanna call it, where u get less ammo,less grenades, health that doesnt regenerates,and u would would actually have to lean out cover to see who is coming when your in cover. which a mode that im pretty sure it wasnt in vegas1,and we kept complaning about it, when vegas2 was coming out, but they didnt tell us they added that mode for somereaseon could've save alot of people alot of arguments and posts,and ideas about the cover system.
