Chris, one thing you might wanna do when you play Halo MP is to not party up with people who are regulars at first. Reason being is that the matchmaking system will put you in matches with people of much higher skill levels if you're partied with higher skill levels. My roommate and I would play split screen and he was getting massacred until I signed out of my account and played on his account as a guest.

Really the difference between Halo and CoD is style of play, and what you need to do to be good at them. Both require accuracy but CoD is more about getting the best position on maps where Halo emphasizes taking advantage of the strengths and weaknesses of each weapon, armor ability, and vehicle. CoD is definitely more fast paced in the sense that you can kill people quicker, Halo forces you to move around more since camping isn't as successful a strategy.

Don't know if you'll enjoy Firefight but when you play locally you can customize it to your heart's content. Online if you're partied up with better players it doesn't matter because you're playing the computer.
