I actually traded in my limited edition Halo 3 for COD:4 for PS3, I got the PS3 version because I find Achievments a burden and just want to play the game.
Halo 3's campaign is more story, but you're pretty much doing the same thing every level. COD:4 is a really nice mix of interesting missions, some parts are down right scary where you sense that you've got to stay alive like you're in the game. There's more emotion involved in COD:4's campaign imo you REALLY want to take out the enemy. Shooting an idle car's engine to set it ablaze to see it explode and take out 5 or 6 enemies.
It is a little short. It's probably took me 7 or 8 hours but I don't like prolonged single player in shooters as long as I enjoy the ride from start to finish.
Don't even get me started on Online play.. it's demolishes Halo 3. The Halo serious has always been a little canned imo, nothing felt natural. In COD:4 it feels real. You can take out a guy across the map with a well placed bunch of rounds from an M16, or AK 47. You don't need to hold down the shoot button and pray. You can sneak up and Knife a sniper while he's looking out of a window..
and during a game if you get 3 kills without dying you can get active radar, 5 kills and Air Strike, 7 kills you can call in a chopper.
Plus the RPG esque levelling is great.
I'd give Halo 3 a 8.9 but I'd give COD:4 a solid 9.7. I'd give it a complete 10 if Single players was just a TAD longer.
