So,call of duty official owns weapon classes and fast pace multiplayer? I played it and it did not feel like call of duty at all.It only had a few gameplay elements there where the same.
I think the point though is thats not Halo, its not about fast pace action and weapon classes....at one time it was about skill.
Remeber Halo 2.......good memories :)
I hope to god the brand wont silence people from criticising the game if...and I said IF the multiplayer dosent feel like Halo. I would want 343 to learn from there mistakes for Halo 5, it was the same with Killzone 3, hopefullu Killzone 4s online will be more like Killzone 2s.
I don't think it looks or plays like COD at all? Vehicle based gameplay? Far more skill based with a greater requirement for accuracy (with BR and DMRs), level design and the general way the game plays.
I don't think this is a case of how Killzone 3 really went down the COD route. A lot of pro Halo 3/Reach MLG players have played Halo 4 comprehensively and stated that it plays extremely well and speak volumes of the competitive nature of the game.
Halo 4 at this stage looks like Halo. How it actually plays remains to be seen. There isn't much in the article to suggest that it plays "alot like Call of Duty" at all- extra additions like upgrades and sprint as default aren't enough reasons at all to suggest so.
Not sure how anyone can say it feels like Cod. I played halo4 at San Diego Comic-con and I thought it felt like the classic halo experience that Halo Reach never felt like. I'm tired of the cod comparisons really. Halo is a very different game, shots are much more precise and opponent health is much more important. The two games play differently, whether they have loadouts or not is not a reason for comparing the two.
Well for some people i think that will be a good thing, i never liked health pack pick-ups and weapons, this is gonna bring new players and breath new life into halo. Thank you 343.
The differences between the two are clearly contrasting in how they play though. Certain working social elements need to be embraced for games to take advantage of the fascination people have with level ups etc so I wouldn't be surprised to see them feature, but Halo is big enough to exist on it's own merits too which there are lots in Halo4
Halo vanilla as it was with Halo2 is where I'd like to see things personally, but certain abilities like Jet Pack for example don't really take it out of that. Camo and armour lock are a shame though for those that want to just run around shooting and a gametype choice would be nice
exactly and its been like that before even COD introduced there streamlined system. I remember when i used to play some old PC shooter game where you could basically do what COD has been getting so much credit for the only difference was that it wasent as streamlined or the UI wasent as simple as COD's IDK if its just that this generation of gamers dont really know the history or real truth of things or if there just plain un aware of games outside of the consoles and if they had played such games didnt realize that there raved COD loadouts thing is like a upgraded version of something else.
uh oh... someone is desperate for hits... How is it like COD when the gameplay is completely different. People need to stop with this comparisons. For starters Halo has health and shield. psssssssss....
Halo hasn't been good since Halo 2. I don't even see why they bother to milk it anymore as it's nothing like how the good Halo games were. They should've just named it something else and had it be a new IP (of course it wouldn't sell then).
First of all Parappa, shut the hell up. Second, when you can board an enemy's passenger seat and punch the drive out of the f#$%in vehicle in CoD, then we'll talk. Until then this sh#$ needs to stop. Go watch videos, just cuz they're sprinting and using (actual unique) abilities does not make it CoD. One on one battles can last quite a few seconds as opposed to half a second. Power weapons are on maps that help control the battle. Jump height let's you navigate unlike most other games (seriously they jump a lot higher than their head level). Vehicle control can win a match. Assassinations and for that matter melee are much much much better than CoD (not 1 hit instant kill unless behind opponent). Hell even general movement speed has always been faster than CoD running speed. Go sprint in CoD then walk around in Halo. The main complaint people have is that everyone doesn't start out on a level playing field. I understand, but these rpg elements are the future of all games. I love customizing my character to my play style. Halo 3 is actually very slow paced and can be boring nowadays. It worked back then, but this is so much more exciting and varied. Every player has a different setup. But you're skill will win if you're better. "I don't wanna lose a battle because they have a better perk!!!" I'm sorry but look up the list of perks and abilities. Not one is an I WIN ability. That's just ridiculous. Starting weapon loadouts is also the BEST new addition. Everyone starting with Battle rifles is f#$$ING boring. Same with Gears 3, it added variety and choices. People can finally play just how they WANT to play. This is still Halo and people saying it isn't are just so Damn stubborn its irritating. Summary: vehicles and unique sandbox of abilities and weapons make Halo 4 extremely unique.
Last time I saw a video of halo 4 it was nothing like call of duty. It still takes a whole clip to kill someone unless you shoot there head. Then it takes half a clip.
Halo isn't trying to be like Call of Duty. It's trying to catch up with EVERY OTHER FPS out there. Halo was getting stale and needed an overhaul.
It pisses me off how it appears to uneducated eyes that when Halo adds something new and fresh, "ZOMG GUISE IT'S TRIEIEIING TO B LIEK COD LOL." Call of Duty isn't the first game to introduce perks or weapon skins. Battlefield 3 has them and yet no one bothers comparing those, even though they're much more similar to each other than Halo is to CoD.
I'm sick of this stupid comparison bullshit. CoD fans, continue playing CoD and enjoy it for what it is. Us Halo fans will continue to play Halo and enjoy it for what it is. Give this comparison crap a goddamn rest. There's no point to it anyway.

Sprint was also a feature that was at one point going to be in Halo 2, but got cut (along with half of the game's other features too <_<)
I would dominate and so would a lot of us by simply duel wielding guns and killing everyone super fast.
It was faced pace and fun, but skilled it was not.
Many of the hardcore MLG players have already been praising this as the best Halo yet. That's the only opinion I need.
