Am getting these limited comments from these halo fan boys saying that ” halo 4 is like CoD”
And let me give these good reasons why halo 4 is nothing like CoD
- Halo never comes out every year-CoD does
- Halo takes to develop- CoD doesn’t
- Halo has different and interesting storylines-CoD doesn’t it’s the damn same stories all the time
- Halo is way futuristic-CoD is not
- Halo takes more skills even with halo 4-CoD doesn’t
- Halo has the most beautiful music in halo-CoD doesn’t
- Halo has better graphics-CoD doesn’t
- Halo has drivable vehicles-CoD doesn’t
- Halo has forge-CoD doesn’t
The list goes on,oh and by the way if you guys say “AWW HALO 4 HAS LOADOUTS AND KILLCAMS AND SPRINT THATS ALL FROM COD” well CoD didn’t invented those ideas any ways other games had those way before CoD. if CoD did invented those ideas and halo 4 grabbed all the ideas from CoD it’s not copying its call sharing ideas.halo 2 invented multiplayer on console and other games took that idea does that mean other games are copying each other? NO ! its call sharing ideas and look at this! Halo 3 had theatre but then black ops 1 took that idea does that mean its copying ? NO! its not, look at destiny it has sprint and aim down sights already and no one is moaning about that and maybe the multiplayer might have load outs and kill cams and destiny looks absolutely amazing already but yea some of you guys might say “Destiny is a new whole game it can have those ideas” so why can’t halo have it as well? . I hate the halo fan base and am a true halo fan since halo CE,i just saw a comment the other day and this fan boy said “IF HALO 5 HAS ONE COD FUTURE AM NOT BUYING IT” really? And i see soo many comments liked that in fact,this halo community is by far the worse than CoD community sorry but it’s the truth, look at these comments that are on waypoint and on youtube these fan boys are sending death threats to 343i and they are hating, how is that helping halo,the community and 343i? If the community stands the way it is i bet 343i won’t even listen to us they will just ruin halo 5 and just keep making money and guess what? i won’t blame 343i if they ruin halo 5 (which i don’t think they won’t ) I will blame the community for this.
I find this funny and stupid but every time i see a halo fan boy saying “AWW COD SUCKS ITS ALWAYS THE SAME THING IT DOESNT CHANGE,HALO IS BETTER”
But then i see a halo fan boy says “AWW HALO 4 SUCKS BECAUSE IT CHANGED,I HATE CHANGES AND ITS NOT THE SAME HALO ANYMORE I WANT HALO BACK”
Are you serious ? You halo fan boys have no right to say stuff about CoD for being the same game when you guys beg for the same halo game
And if you guys want halo back GO BACK TO HALO 3 THEN! Is it that hard? Are 343i are not letting you play halo 3 or what? Well then go back to halo 3 or even Reach instead moaning about you want the same halo game because you will never get the same halo game the only thing you can do is just play the old haloes that you loved and problem solved, because you’re wasting your time just hating 343i and halo 4 which is not helping
You’re right, Halo 4 isn’t Call of Duty. But a lot of it’s new features are inspired by the type of gameplay and formula Call of Duty uses. Call of Duty might not have pioneered those concepts, but it is the most well-known game that uses them at this point.
Not that hard to connect the dots.
I really am not in the mood to reply to the whole thread but i will to point 1 real quick. There has been a new halo every year since halo 3 (2007)
There was one thing you forgot to mention in the list:
Halo made drastic gameplay change -CoD doesn’t.
COD bores me to death after a few matches. I play HALO almost daily.
EDIT: Probably because all COD games are so similar, and online play is too bland and IMO takes less skill overall.

2008 - ???
2011 - Halo CEA
2013 - Halo: Spartan Assault
Admittedly Halo games, but hardly major titles.
well not every year
Halo 3 -2007
Halo 3 ODST -2009
Halo Reach -2010
Halo CEA is just a remake they just updated graphics so that doesn’t count
Halo 4-2012
Hmm lets get started.By the way i hate Halo 4 and think Halo:CE is the best of the franchise, for my own reasons.Just to get that out of the way.Also i like CoD as well.How is that possible?Well i like them because they both have their own skill and focus.
Counters—>
1.Cod comes out every year becomes they don’t need to change very much.Why change a formula that is perfect?
2.Halo did take time to develop, let’s see how that continues.Refer to above for CoD.
3.Halo is a story driven campaign with deep character development.Cod has this as well but you see the game from a few viewpoints, not just one.
4.Well, yeah.550 years in the future give or take.
5.That is quite biased.CoD fans would dictate otherwise.Truth is they both take allot of skill in their own way.CoD is more about twitch reflexes than thinking but both require high eye-to-hand coordination to succeed in.
6.The style of music is a preference, not set in stone like you indicated.That is a biased statement.
7.Yes Halo has better graphics and has suffered due to it by being at 30fps, while CoD stay’s at a wonderful 60fps.Which is optimal for a FPS game.Halo 4 can barely do splitscreen because of it.
8.CoD did have vehicles in WaW but people raged abit and wasn’t too popular.Was also only in core not hardcore.Halo was known for vehicle combat.Perhaps due to bungies original vision was Halo:CE to be a RTS instead of a FPS.Though thankfully they didn’t.
9.No they don’t have forge, though they may add a map creater in ghosts.Not sure though.
10.Here’s mine:CoD has a better online experience with much less lag.Funny how that works out huh.
11.CoD players use their mics, halo 4 players do not.
You see CoD excels in it’s own way and so does Halo, but Halo 4 had a identity crisis it seemed.See where it went. 
Killcams were always in CoD and never have been in Halo.So yes old time fans would be somewhat against it(teabagging loses it’s charm).Not to mention the killcams don’t even work correctly which pissed people off.It showed that 343 did absolutely no testing online.If they did it would of been fixed.
Go back and play H3.The usual thing Halo 4 fans say to hater’s.Yeah we could, and i will once it is released as games for gold for free.Not to mention it is 5 years old.Hardly a good argument but you are entitled to what you think.
Not much else to argue against because it would go off topic greatly.

While true, but 2009 saw TWO Halo games released, ODST and Halo Wars. As for CEA, I’d say it counts. It is still a Halo game is it not?

Nevermind, Halo Wars was released in '09.
of course its a halo game but it was a remake so that doesn’t count
Its funny how soo many people Casual or competitive how made rant videos and argued great points why they don’t like the direction Halo is heading yet I bet NOW I BET Halo 5 will be Halo4.5 and be a top15xbl game at best.
> of course its a halo game but it was a remake so that doesn’t count
Why does it not count just because it’s a remake? Seems like an arbitrary rule to me.
exactly! halo 3 is a 5 year old game and yet these fanboys want halo 4 to be the exactly the same game as halo 3 when nobody barley plays halo 3 anymore
I mean they are still people play it but it has a such low population
Halo CE was already created back in 2001 and it was just remade they just updated the graphics and add DLC and stuff that’s about it and it doesn’t count
343i didn’t create anything really it wasn’t their proper game at first
so it doesn’t count

Yeah, sorry but those seem like pretty weak reasons to not count it as a proper Halo game. The new graphics, Terminals and maps still required effort. So yeah, the poitn about yearly Halo releases stands with the exception of 2008, though I’d wager two Halo titles in 2009 makes up for it.
But that isn’t the real crux of the issue, the main gist here is the gameplay and formula. Loadouts, sprint, Ordinance and so on don’t really differentiate Halo from other modern shooters and it is easy to see which shooter in particular served as the inspiration.

It goes against his many FLAWED reasons why Halo isn’t like CoD, when in fact, it holds a lot of similarities because of 343’s vision.
halo should be innovative not imitative.
thats the whole issue right there. 343 needs to be more creative and needs to listen to the community to ensure halo gets back on track.

He’s not saying it’s not halo, what he is saying is that it shouldn’t really be counted as a big title which is released every 2-3 years. Also halo wars shouldnt count on the development list despite it being an awesome game and a big game at that because it was by a different company. He isnt saying they’re not halo games.
