Why Halo 3: ODST’s Firefight is better than Gears of War 2′s Horde (and why it’s also not)
When Halo 3: ODST dropped into stores yesterday, I was determined to snag a copy. While I'm only two missions into the campaign, I found myself gravitating more toward the game's Firefight mode. It's an absolute treat and one of the better online co-op experiences of recent memory, but it will undoubtedly (and already has) draw comparisons to Gears of War 2's Horde mode. So here's my dos pennies on the matter.
