It’s so obvious. I don’t understand how people don’t see it, nor do I understand how people are okay with such a shameful, uninspired way of tackling the multiplayer component of the game.
Things taken from COD:
custom loadouts
xp and unlockable weapons
perks. (they even have some of the exact same perks here, such as faster reload)
ordinance drops
instant respawn
killcam
winning depending on score, not kills
sprinting (I know this is in other games besides COD, but it still doesn’t change the fact that it does not belong in Halo)
That’s quite a list. Why does any of this belong in Halo? do you think it actually improves the game? Doesn’t anybody miss all the great things that made Halo, and set it apart from games like COD?
I’m all for innovation, but this is a far cry from innovating and reinventing the halo franchise. All the new features in this game are borrowed from COD or other games. That is not what innovation is, and it is not what a franchise as big as halo should do
EDIT: I have one thing to say since people are not reading the thread but simply going to the end and posting their opinion without looking into other people’s opinion.
It didn’t rip it off, but it took elements and ‘inspiration’ for Halo 4 that just doesn’t work and fit with Halo. Halo 4 should have played like Halo 2/Halo 3. Not Halo:Reach or CoD. Hell Halo:Reach was more faithful to Halo than Halo 4 was.
Also, before ANYONE says they didn’t take inspiration/ideas from CoD, YES CALL OF DUTY DIDN’T MAKE THESE FEATURES BUT THEY POPULARIZED THEM ON CONSOLE. AND WE ALL KNOW 343 DIDN’T LOOK OUT COUNTER STRIKE FOR INSPIRATION FOR THESE CHANGES. THEY CLEARLY LOOKED AT COD.
COD didnt event anything its just smaller and forgotten games have it taken away from them the big game fanboys try to claim there game invented it but they didnt
> It’s so obvious. I don’t understand how people don’t see it
They see it. No matter what they say, they see it.
I love the “CoD didn’t have loadouts first, so how could they have stolen it from CoD?” argument.
I can steall all of your “Hommies” figurines and then someone can steal them from me. See?
Anyway @OP: More playlists are coming, hopefully we get a classic one.

You know what 3 games:
Unreal Tournament, Tribes, Counter Strike. And even then those game didn’t invent the concept in your list but all of them are older than CoD. Deal with it.
yep dont let 343i mind hack you…its like the elephant in the room…they are trying to hide the fact its a rip off in plain sight…and i find that truly disturbing…
No! Why is it that everyone thinks that COD is the only game out there? Why do so many people like myself hate COD but like this game? Everytime I see a post in some game forum it is (insert name)is a rip off of (insert name). This is getting stupid. Say you don’t like the game and be done. What is so hard about that?
Evolution in the gaming market =/= blatant rips. If so, you give me a shooter that’s come out in the last 7 or so years and I will point out every single little rip they’ve ever had.
FPS games are like any other gaming clique- they evolve and borrow from one another, make their own twists, and try to create a better experience based off what works.
Try this on for size: You are a cross country runner. You’re pretty good, you’re on varsity- heck, at one point you used to be the lead varsity. Then, next year, comes along this freshman who has better form and thus is performing better- he’s getting better times more often. So you look at your form, then his, and you start to mimic his own form whilst adapting it for your own body type and your own running/breathing habits.
Now apply the analogy to Halo and CoD- both used to be the lead Varsity runner, both at one point or another was the ‘freshman’ runner who came and blew the other out of the water. Like these runners, the two shooters will continue to compete and try to do what the other’s doing to an extent where they outperform the other at what it does best.
Welcome to the gaming market- evolution isn’t blatant ripping off. It’s adaption for the setting you’ve had and making it work. Want to see a blatant rip? Look at the Medal of Honor reboot from a few years back. Even though it’s technically the father game of CoD, it went to new degrees to try and out-CoD CoD.
Halo? Not so much. It takes /features/ from CoD, not /CoD/ from CoD, and does its /own/ reendition.
Make sure you also go here to complain about Bf3 being COD rip off. Generic response to not liking a game. Find anything that resembles another game and point it out
I still don’t understand why people are still complaining about the “ripping off” and “copying elements” from COD and other games. The way I see it is that 343 just took very popular elements fused it with Halo and made something original. If that bothers you trolls then just don’t play it?
