halo was always a good game, problem was that they all had the same game play with barely anything added in a sequel. the story for halo was good, but it didn't have much in it, something about a halo? (sorry, didn't follow the story) i never really bothered with the story for halo cause well it didn't look like it had much of a story at all.
metal gear has been going for a long time and with good reason, this also allowed it to have one of the best stories in gaming history, its even better then most movies at time.
metal gear always had better more fun story wise over halo, halo was great in the multiplayer mode but now that metal gear has an amazing multiplayer mode... well i'd say halo would be a waste of money (sorry halo fans) but metal gear now talks in the multiplayer and single play modes.
