CoD is getting rid of perks, why not Halo?

Games Other Halo

Before I start, I would like to say I don’t like CoD. Halo 4 will be my shooter of the year.

ALSO their not necessarily getting rid of perks, you’ll know what I mean when you read that article.

Anyways,

Black Ops 2 “won’t” have perks. They’re reforming that system and doing something completely different.

Why is HALO adding them?!

NICE 343. NICE.

You know what’s Microsoft and 343’s plan was? To get back to the top of the XBOX Live charts? And how is this possible? Do what CoD does but better. That means taking anything they can from CoD that can be justified and improving it so more people are attracted to Halo 4.

Well guess what?! The Top dog(CoD) is changing the formula, and when that formula is changed then so is the customer-bases tastes and interests!!

THAT’s why Call of Duty DOESN’T change. This is all some in-genius plot by Activision to just change a bit each year(Change enough to make it feel quite different but ultimately the same thing after all) so the appetites for CoD players grows more for CoD each year and so when Activision finally DOES change the game, CoD customers adapt unknowingly as the need for something fresh is SO high.
They WANTED to use this genius advantage over a potential threat, NOW THEY ARE.

THAT THREAT IS WHAT DO YOU KNOW; HALO 4 ladies and gentleman.

The only game that CAN knock CoD off the XBOX Live charts No.1.
So Activision lured 343+Microsoft into a false sense of security, making out that B02 is the same game again.
And when 343 started showing how much CoD-ised Halo 4 is, Activision is also starting to show how much CoD has changed.
They’re adding a system that is changing the need for Perks.
Halo 4 has added perks.

This is ACTIVISION you’re dealing with.
They took the secret and turned it on you 343+Microsoft. Now Halo 4 will potentially be hurt by these new features and design-thinking. And BO2 may beat Halo 4.

This isn’t the start; TRUST ME.
They will reveal more, and the more they reveal; the more Halo 4 looks pointless.

The players will adapt to Black Ops 2, Activision has extrapolated marketing THAT much on them.
So CoD’s previous formula won’t be the one they’ll like anymore;

The ONE HALO 4 IS ADAPTING TO.

YOU JUST GOT PLAYED 343+Microsoft.

And you know the worst thing? The worst thing…lemme see.

MLG will be better suited for Black Ops 2 since of their disuse of perks and will be much less suited for Halo 4.

HALO AND COD HAVE SWITCHED PLACES.

After a few weeks or months, Halo 4 will drop in charts. JUST like Reach.

I hope this has been a good read, thanks guys for listening.

I hope COD adds power ups so Halo5 can get them back.

I’m assuming you used all caps to let me know which words in your post I should read:

Sorry, OP. I’m afraid I don’t get your point.

*The sad part is, this is an actual straight up excerpt and it still makes absolutely no sense.

Actually, CoD’s not getting rid of perks. Only this time, you can have 9 perks and a knife.

If I read that correctly it didn’t say CoD was getting rid of perks. What they are doing is instead of a 5 slot system (primary, secondary, 3 perks) they are doing a point system. Everything will have a number and you can only use so many points in a class, “So you want two primary guns?, fine, it’ll cost you a perk.” So it seems to me BO2 still has them.
And any way Halo 4’s specializations aren’t like CoD’s perks.

6

This topic is useless. They don’t remove nor change anything except you may now have a -Yoink- load of perks or guns attachement via the 10 pts you get for every class you create.

It just give more custom for CoD players. But it doesn’t change anything at all.

LOL. Halo is gonna be fine.

I KNOW they’re not getting rid of perks, I stated that in my thread clearly.

You just extracted anything in capital letters and claims it doesn’t make sense…? derp-much?

These so-called “perks” you are seeing in Halo 4 are not the perks that are in CoD.

11

They arent gettin rid of perks, and they eliminiate some cause the mp was so unfair the mayority of the time

12

Point allocation seems ridiculous, and ultimately doesn’t change a lot. I love how they’re like “THIS IS GOING TO REVOLUTIONISE PLAY-STYLES” (para-phrasing).

It’s not. Everyone is still going to run and gun on COD. Now they’ll just have more attachments to do it with.

13

wow Noone got the point of this thread.

> I hope COD adds power ups so Halo5 can get them back.

Lol, yes. I miss the Camo and Overshield being on the map. We actually had a reason to move around maps back then.

give china their wall back and dont judge what you havnt played and filling these topics with rage-mail and believe me u cant pwn microsoft or 343 since they actually do a good job unlike yourself, also if you dont like it dont buy the game which you will do regardless so quit complaining

Wasn’t the point of all this whining that “Halo shouldn’t be like COD”? Changing anything now because they’re doing something different is just as creatively bankrupt as if 343 had just stolen their design doc.

Well yeah, exactly.

CoD is going to be CoD and I felt the way you did a month ago. I thought OMG they are making it too much like COD, but the more I watch the more I see halo multiplayer, halo campaign, and halo co op getting the attention it deserves. CoDs perks are just what you have demonized in your head, CoD sucks because of run and gun tactics and because guns are not equal acrossed the board, I was watching a trailer and I paused on a loadout menu while somebody was changing their loadout up, it is still a loadout not a custom class, I only saw a few options, a primary slot a secondary slot a grenade slot an armor ability slot which was set to thruster pack whatever the diff between it n j pack are idk and last was an armor mod slot, ARMOR MODIFICATION SLOT, in it a saw something to the effect of spawning with extra ammo, not a perk that makes your shots do more damage, not a perk that gives you aim assist, not a perk that lets you fire your gun while holding the flag or oddball. CoD is not a bad game it’s just not my favorite, I’d rather see an xbox exclusive title on top, I’d rather see microsoft own tons of badass IPs, I’d like to see them buy gears like they did halo, and not CoD but MW I’d like to see them buy rather than just rights to first dlc. I want to see things done that gives my xbox value over the other choices i had when buying a console. they want to push xbox into being the main part of your entertainment center and I want to see this done as well because we all benefit from it, wont be long before apple is making gaming consoles at the rate the ipods library of games is growing. I think your fears are unfounded and if you stop and think even if there was perks, what is it about perks that gives you so much problem? gamers seem to like perks so let CoD move away from that and let halo start doing their version of it and guess what your right they just changed places. there are those like some I know who play CoD and simply refuse to play halo, we call that brand biased, halo cant reach those fans unless it crushes cod completely or by one other way i know of. i told my cousin buy an xbox and id buy cod to play with him, he did and now we play cod on xbox, halo 4 is coming soon and he actually returned the favor and is going to buy it and check it out because he did like halo 2 and i tried his game. brand bias is like the racism of the gaming community and if you want it gone, open your mind and stop demonizing everything you dont have nostalgia for, because you only have no nostalgie for it yet

sorry for the wall
