COD 4 pwns HALO 3

Am I the only person who didn't like HALO 3? Sometimes it feels like it, although Zero Punctuation's HALO 3 review gave me hope that there were people out there as underwhelmed as I was.  I bought HALO 3 on the strength of the reviews I had read, but on playing the game found it to be ordinary in the extreme.  After persevering with it for a day or so (and really wanting to like the game), I could put up with it no longer and traded it for Tom Clancy Rainbow Six Vegas.  Now there's a decent game!  

Compared with HALO 3, I  didn't have any trouble getting into Call of Duty 4.  COD 4 grabbed me from the first moment, and it hasn't disappointed since.  The single player game is absorbing and the multiplayer is intense- and with a real strategic side to it.  I was preparing myself to be let-down by COD 4 just as I was by HALO 3 (and COD 3 for Wii, come to think of it...), but it looks like the game reviewers got this one right.  :)
