your statement doesn’t apply to the idea of a useless perk to the person that made this thread.
> Don’t wont perks. Don’t want loadouts. I want to play Halo.
Just wait and see before you say that, why follow the crowd and be like soooo many others that say the same thing? we don’t even know how the HALO 4 ones are going to work.
I have a big question for every one.
Where did 343i come out and say there are going to be perks in Halo 4, please link me to that, and they must use the word “perks” in their statement.
If you can’t link me, then you guys are over reacting.
> I’m not against change or evolution of the series, but changes to Halo games should be changes that can be implemented without changing the core fundamental gameplay. I don’t want changes to the series that are just blatantly ripped off from other games.
Welcome to Gaming: 2012, where nothing is “original” and everything is bound to get “ripped off.”
That being said, Halo Reach and Halo 4 have not “ripped off” CoD with their perk/loadout system. The systems in Halo (loadouts) work independently from CoD’s mechanic, and while they are similar in concept they are unique in execution. Halo Reach does not have “perks” in the manner that CoD or Assassin’s Creed multiplayer does, they have “Loadouts.”
You want blatant ripoffs? While it’s a great game, Darksiders has a portal gauntlet/gun. Not even kidding. It makes two portals (on a limited surface,) and the portals are even orange and blue.
> The reason Halo isn’t the juggernaut it once was isn’t because it didn’t evolve, it’s because it did.
No, it’s because after Halo: CE and Halo 2, other games started catching on.
> I’m not against change or evolution of the series
Yes you are, thats exactly what you are. Youre just another Halo Fundamentalist, stuck in your dogma and you want everyone else to be to. Plenty of them around here. You still feel the need to try and disclaim this though, because you know its wrong.
Also, there are no new idea in gaming, everything is built off previous innovation. Thats why things generally get better as time goes on. Welcome to human culture, enjoy your stay.

Well, us Halo fundamentalist seem to know a lot more about what’s good for competitive gaming than those of you who just want to turn Halo into another CoD. We Halo fundamentalist seem to know a lot more about what’s good for competitive gaming than those of you who simply want to break the balance of the game so that rather than having to get better to be able to keep up with better players, you can just let flawed mechanics give you the illusion that you’re better than you are.

Things generally get better as time goes on, eh? The (lack of) population in Reach disagrees…
> Wouldn’t you guys want God-tier perks that let you fly or parkour or even climb walls? You could always remove said additions in some playlists, but the fact that they were in the game would be awesome, and much more noticeable than a puny 1% boost of speed or health.

And the funny part? If they were to re create a Halo CE with actual multiplayer; people would still complain. People complained for all the changes in Reach and they barely play them. Its hilarious.

But one advantage they may have over you (faster run speed), you will have one over them that they don’t have (See people’s health bars). Its called compromise. And just because he used Faster run to kill you in ONE scenario, doesn’t mean its going to happen every 2 minutes.
