Well from what I can tell I bought 343’s version of Call of Duty.
Im going to list all the comparisons just so I know I’m not crazy…
Join in Progess
Classes (and the ability to rename them) ← when I noticed that it actually made me laugh.
How the scoring is handled. We shouldnt be playing to 600. It should be to 60 like EVERY OTHER HALO!!! For Big Team… ITS NOT A 1000 IT SHOULD BE 100. YOU IDIOTS
You honestly start games 3v4, 4v5 ? Really? Like really? Again another feature from CoD. ITS NOT CoD WHERE YOU CAN GET AWAY WITH IT!! Again IDIOTS!
The sprint ability? Yes I know it was in Reach but it was a step toward CoD play style when they first introduced it.
The last and final one… My personal favorite… The ordinances lol. Where is my option in the main menu to pick my killstreaks lol?
I mean if you put that in then yeah people were gonna say something but it was done suttle enough to notice a CoD feature but not harsh enough to make people say “uhhhhhh WTF is this?”
All in all it was a good job tho. Im looking forward to your next installment of Call of Duty lol. Now instead of 2 companies working on the CoD franchise(Infinity Ward and TreyArc) you have 3.
This game is so fun now I wont have to ask for CoD for christmas this year lol
Im guessing you didnt play Halo 2,3 or Reach right? I see the sarcasm in your post you troll.
Not to say that my OP isnt to make a mockery of 343 or anything. The fact that you dont appreciate diversity in the games you play means you’re just another person who is probably IN LOVE WITH CoD!!!
When you picked up CoD this year, what major changes did they make to it? Oops they didnt!
The only difference in CoD games since CoD 4 Modern Warfare is the artwork that houses your little green box you stick you disc in…

Sure… The copyright police might not be too happy, but you can do it.
Custom loadouts were not invented by COD
Ordinance / kill streaks were not invented by COD
Kill Cams were not invented by COD
JIP was not invented by COD
However, they are popular features that appeal to a lot of gamers, so it would be logical to include some of those features into your FPS game if you wanted to attract more than the hard core fans.
Custom loadouts were a great addition in my mind. I can play the way I want and Im not forced into the default starting loadout ever map like previous halos… AR starts anyone?
In the “Starry Night” trailer for Halo 3, MC sprints off a small cliff to jump down on a brute.
People speculated then that you would be able to sprint in Halo, so adding what people thought they were going to get, isn’t that big of a deal. CoD didn’t add that until MW, which came out after Halo 3 mind you.
As far as join in progress…sure it can be janky, but would you really rather play a CTF match where half your team quits after the enemy scores? That just ensures you are going to lose. It could definitely be tweaked a bit to fix joining games that are 5 kills from being over, but it’s in the game, deal with it.
They simply added a 0 to the score. That’s it. It is 60 kills to win, or 100 in big team. Assists and other things that contribute to your score, don’t contribute to the kill total. Sure, it is completely unnecessary, but getting so worked up about adding a 0 is childish.
As far as loadouts go, gasp you have choices now! They don’t have to have 47 playlists with 173 different gametypes just so everyone can use a weapon they want. Yeah, I’m exaggerating but seriously. You are making a much bigger deal out of all this than it needs to be.
Don’t like the game? Don’t play it, your absence will not even be noticed.
And to answer your question…your box says Halo 4. Duh.
I disagree, most of those things have existed in gaming in some form or another for a long time. The scoring is really nitpicking. The classes thing has been around for some time in rpg’s. fps games have almost always been start with weapon (a) find weapon (b) fight with weapon (b) until dead, restart with weapon (a).
As shooters have changed in order to keep up with the other genre’s it’s only natural that they have to fight fire with fire on occasion especially when almost every gamer does the “oh wouldn’t it be cool if you could do stuff like in that one game in this game!!!”
The match thing is meh, I hate the matchmaking personally but it can be a pain when you always have that one guy who quits as soon as a match starts.(because he didn’t get the gun/vehicle he wanted so he decided to throw a tantrum for instance.)
Alot of things to complain about, weapons, glitches, the terrible community, but the stuff you posted and all of the CoD stuff…good luck finding a game that has no similarities whatsoever to any other game ever created.

I want diversity… Sorry I dont enjoy picking up every FPS that has been released from 2007-Present and feel like im playing call of duty. Who cares who actually invented the features CoD and Halo use?
I just dont like and appreciate every f*ing FPS having no diversity.

Funny you didnt mention CE. I’ve probably forgot more about halo than you’ve ever learned.
I’ve played halo since midnight launch for original xbox/halo CE.
Funny how every halo has had major changes. You dont want them to change anything yet you ask if others didnt play halo 2/3/reach
halo CE - pistol
halo 2 - no more pistol / added br
halo 3 - added equipment
halo reach - no br added dmr
Get the picture? Every halo has been different from the one before in some shape/form/fashion.

Diversity? How much diversity can you freaken have in a FPS? Hardly any. Its not like you can change an FPS genre THAT much. How much can you build off of with running around and shooting people.
Play any racing game or any sports game and especially play C&C and Halo Wars both released around the same time and both are nearly identical. No type of genre has any real diversity. Bf3, CoD, Halo all are one type of genre based around one thing. Guns. Now if you added stuff like carnival games, teddy bar cuddle time, and maybe even legos, then we would have some diversity between Halo and CoD.
Alright here’s my final say with what this game has turned into…
Aside from my sarcasm you cant discredit me for the things I’ve pointed out.
Yeah you can have diversity alright, before game companies started adopting features from other companies thats what MADE THEM DIVERSE!!. The mere fact of them NOT adopting those features is what made them fun to play.
How can anyone sit there any NOT notice this?
The Gears of War community has their play/game style, CoD has its play/game style, Halo USED to have its own play/game style, but NOT ANYMORE!

No one is telling you to like EVERY shooter but I don’t understand how you want to play a genre but don’t want anything that comes with said genre. Similarities does not mean a game is an exact clone of one another but if they didn’t have anything in common i doubt you could even consider them “shooters”.
Shooters have covered"
Psychic powers
Aliens
Mutants
Zombies
Terrorist
Criminals
assassins
wizards
dragons
robots
I’m think they have done something with projectiles and guns and such,who knows.
----etc
It’s a very long list and I don’t see how you can avoid ALL of those things and more and still have anything worth playing.
Mechanics are the way they are in shooters because they WORK (most of the time at least) Changing those would likely leave you with something else and likely something that doesn’t work and would cause you to fling your controller across the room. The mechanics are OLD, shooters rarely if ever add anything new outside of customization and art.
