Alright, so around the first week of July I'm gonna be making a new purchase.
Firstly, I want to play a new game online, I need something to play against my friends at. I've been playing GTA with them mostly, but they're growing bored, as am I. They recommended getting either Gears of Call of Duty 4.
I was gonna go with Gears of War because it looks sort of similar gameplay wise to Splinter Cell and with shades of Metal Gear. Which I love both. I've also heard that the online is pretty good, though story mode is short.
When it comes to Call of Duty, I'm not sure because I've never been a huge fan of first person shooters, but I've heard Call of Duty 4 is really good. The story isn't much longer then Gears and apparently isn't too great. Online is apparently better on this though.
Basically, I'm looking at which games has a better story, which one I can have fun with online.

Maybe give them a rent before hand, thier both competely different types of games. I myself like Gears better, great campaign and I personally love the multiplayer. I don't understand why the game gets so much hate. COD is good too though, campaign was not bad and it has great multiplayer.

Gears has nothing in common with Splinter Cell or Metal Gear besides the 3rd person perspective. So if you're looking for more of a stealthy game, you don't want Gears.

I enjoy Gears more just because of the co-op and the online multiplayer.

If you want to play online, get COD4. There are more people that play it, so it will be much more fun.

Gears of War. Who cares if its old? There is still like 10000 people playing. It's a better game for sure. Best shooter Game=Gears of War. It's the Best Multiplayer Game that is out.

Get both, XGoW is cheap nowadays, and COD4 couldnt possibly still be on its release price could it?

I started playing COD4 last week, and I have to admit, I am very underwhelmed. It's good, just not great. Which is the same way I would describe Gears.

Get Gears if you're looking for a game that takes skill to be good.

I personally prefer Gears of War, but Call of Duty 4 is nothing short of excellent. I just haven't been able to top the Gears experience.
I love Co-Op careers.
