NO! Lots of people seem to think that alot of features halo has now integrated into its game are straight ripped from COD. Now while many features are in COD its pretty important
to understand MANY if not all the ideas you see in that game were not created by by Infinity ward or Treyarch etc. Its just seems most of you swear that COD created everything and anything that seems similar is ripped straight from COD. They are gaming concepts! they are shared throughout genres. They are not simply one games property, new games come out utilize alot of the same ideas, and develop them…this is how games evolve and become better. A very similar example is how most MMO’s use action bars, BECAUSE THEY WORK FOR THE GENRE! Now new MMO’s come out with action bars and people will say WTF this is just like WOW its has action bars see!!! Well guess what! WOW didnt create action bars! Its simply because that is where you in your brain first encountered them and are familiar with them so you tend to think that this is where the idea has come from.
all these games utilize the same concept “grenade indicators” and these are just recent titles dating back to 2004 or 2005.
Im too lazy to look up more examples of how these SEEMingly COD ideas are not so COD original, but plz feel free to post them if you know a few… ive got to eat. -_-

I used to use this argument but then I faced facts. These gaming concepts have become related to CoD and modern shooters as a whole. They may not have been invented by CoD but they are being put in Halo because of CoD and other modern shooters like Battlefield 3 and Medal of Honour. The media is ultimately controlled by the market/audience and people today want customisation -that’s just how it is. It can be argued that CoD as a franchise did this or perhaps it didn’t either way; these things will be in Halo so why can’t both sides discuss topics, keep the prejudice and crap out of their posts and STOP CREATING SUCH POINTLESS THREADS!
The thing that pisses me off about them is they think cod is the most creative and innovative game created while in reality its some bull crap repetitive game that is full of 9 year olds who think “skill” consists of being able to look in a sniperscope then quickly going out of it and getting a kill. While halo is beyond creative and innovative. Theater, FORGE, more customization then COD will ever have,a better fan base, and the most amazing storyline of any game. Also there is nothing realistic about cod “yeah but it’s real life.” no it’s not you don’t see paris being bombed right now do you? and being shot twice in the foot and dying isn’t realistic at all and you dont see a soldier regenerating bullet wounds in 5 seconds in real life do you? Also isnt black ops 2 set in the future? Talk about realistic! Oh cod also has stolen some things from halo like theater
You people don’t get it. Its not about copying CoD verbatim, it is about copying the design philosophy and it is about putting elements into Halo that contradict the established gameplay.
People just say CoD, because it is the most popular and recognizable game to compare it to.

exactly so why isnt halo entitled to using such ideas? Just because COD is popular…I hope the ppl saying this realize its the same thing as if they said …a few years down the road sombody who hasnt played COD plays the next big shooter, and sees custom classes and grenade indicators says “what the hell?! they copied this off halo 4!” It may be just me but ive played FPS games for a long time and ive seen most of COD’s features at least once before. They arent taking these ideas specifically cause they are in COD they take them because they have been proven to WORK, BE FUN, and what people want.

Thank you for saying it, not that anyone will get it.

Simply because COD is popular doesnt not mean other shooters arent entitled to ideas that COD creators themselves have stolen from other shooters. and it is not a POINTLESS THREAD its intention is for ppl to realize COD did not pioneer nor does it own the ideas it utilizes…
so plz keep your condescending tone to yourself, and dont post downtalk on my thread
thankyou for your cooperation.

Achieving what? What is the goal here? Why do you care for CoD? Just sayin’.
Off topic: And I often find that the most pointless threads are often the most interesting ones like: ‘Halo needs more camels’ one of my personal favourites.

QFT.
But one thing that is and has been a staple of CoD (since MW1) and pretty much only CoD is the first-person killcam. I play a good chunk of FPS’s both on my PC and my 360, and I haven’t seen one game that has this. Yet Halo’s killcam functions identically to CoDs. Oh, and don’t forget about the Perks that are dead ringers for CoDs. Honestly, if they don’t have a good number of classic playlists at launch, I’m just gonna sell my copy back after I finish the single-player.
You know what? Even if 343i did use some elements found in COD. The fact is that Halo 4 will play better, and Halo 4 looks better then COD. Black Ops II visual and multiplayer trailers are laughable at best. When it comes to military shooters I think I’ll stick with BF3. COD is garbage and the community sucks too.

You might as well rent it then choose whether to buy it or not.

True, but if they actually do have alot of classic playlists, then I can just keep the game. If I rented it and then decided I wanted it, I’d be paying an extra 10 or so bucks.
