I have one thing to say…i dont really know how to word it but here goes…
Say i am playing Halo and someone who plays video games a lot comes in. He sees what im playing and says “Oh nice, Halo”
Now in a different scenario:
Say i am playing Call Of Duty and someone who plays video games a lot comes in. He see what im playing and says “What are you playing? COD, Battlefield or what?”
There is a difference Halo will always be unique. Cod will be just another shooter the rest of shooter (besides halo) look all the same.
Hope you guys get what i was trying to say
And this relates to Halo 4 because a lot of people are bashing it for becoming the next COD. But its not. Halo will ALWAYS be Halo.

No, not even close. Halo 4 is basically a modern shooter with a sci-fi skin on it. Wasn’t thr visual part of the game different from other modern shooters and the kill times weren’t as long, it would be like every other shooter these days. But no, making a class based shooter when 90% of the shooter market are class based isn’t unique.

True Halo fans will agree Halo has been and always will be, Halo

exactly, as to whether or not halo 4 will be good is a completely different argument altogether, but to say that halo 4 will be unique is kind of a joke if you ask me. honestly they would’ve been more unique if they would’ve stayed like the first trilogy but I digress.

Haha yeah i am. But its true
Ive only been playing since Halo 3 but one i first played it i instantly fell in love with it. I didnt even own a Xbox at the time so i just begged my friend to play it. I dont know what it was about it. Its was just…idk…different.

Halo since 2001 … Heard too many times i needed a life, guess what those guys are playing today? HALO! Oh the irony haha. Halo is the number one franchise for me.

There is no such thing as a true Halo fan. There are just people who respect Halo in different ways. I’m completely fine with blindly supporting everything that happens to Halo. Personally, I care enough about what Halo means to me to be able to criticize what gets done to it.
No one should ever say Halo is becoming like another shooter franchise until it really does and plays like it. Halo doesn’t play like CoD and it never will. Just because it shares similar features doesn’t make it the same, nor is it becoming that game. Halo really can’t be compared to CoD. Sure, it has customizable loadouts, but correct me if I’m wrong, but I was pretty sure many other games that are nothing like CoD have customizable loadouts in multiplayer.
Spiderman games have buildings and does CoD, so is CoD becoming Spiderman? No, it’s not. Pacman has the color yellow in it, so is CoD becoming Pacman? Once again, the answer is no. Halo 4 will have loadouts, but it will not be a futuristic CoD. You can’t even really compare the two games. They are totally different.
A good comparision is comparing Battlefield to Homefront. They play and look almost exactly the same. In that case, you can say Homefront is like Battlefield based off of how it plays and looks. Halo, on the other hand, looks and plays nothing like any other FPS out there. Therefore, it is not CoD or becoming CoD. It is merely sharing features that appear in many games out there besides CoD.
343i is trying their best to give long-time Halo fans what they want, as well as Reach fans, but they are also trying to attract new players as well. If a big CoD fan were to pick up Halo 3 and play it, they would most likely think it sucks if they had never played it before (not all, but many). This would partly be because of customization problems. They would no longer be able to create their own custom loadouts for MM and they may not like it. 343i is trying to accomodate to this crowd, as well as the long-time Halo fans by adding things both parties want.
I assure all of you, Halo is in no way becoming CoD or any other game out there. It will always have its own distinct style and feel that no other game can replicate.

As I said, it’s the kill times and a couple of other things that prevent Halo from being like every other shooter. However, if you look at all the features that are getting changed, the direction is very clear. You see, they aren’t making Halo 4 class based for no reason. The popularity of shooters like CoD and the need to make something “new” with Halo has forced 343i to that direction. Personally, I’d rather have them do something more unique, but I can’t really blame them for trying to keep Halo popular. Although, it seems like they jumped into the bandwagon a bit late. CoD is already showing signs of weakness and it’s only a matter of time when the next hugely popular mainstream shooter comes out.
