I Can’t believe people are still not over the GI leak, It wasn’t even that bad we got mostly good info, the only bad thing being the instant respawns (THAT AREN’T ACTUALLY IN OBJECTIVE GAMES only slayer and swat ect), and Forunner Vision that Frankie quoted “you wont be able to see other players with forunner vision absolutely not, we will unravel more info about forunner vision later this year” Apart from that what else can you say about the game?
Custom Loadouts, Halo should of had from the start, 343 are not stealing from CoD if anything they are stealing it from Counter Strike, that’s where the idea originated!
Halo has always been about creativity and customization so custom loadouts are a necessary addition to the game!
Your also forgetting the amount of things CoD stole from Halo COUNTLESS amounts of things CoD has that they blatantly took from Halo 3. For Example, Character Customization, Custom Games (Which sucked), the ability to play online with guests, Call of Duty elite Not a halo waypoint rip off at all? AND YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR IT! LOL!, And probably the most outrageous of all Theatre, theatre was one of the main attractions to halo 3 and which is one of the reasons it sold so well and what did cod do? TAKE IT. Sprint, Be serious 500 years in the future and our soldiers can’t even sprint! stop about sprint it’s a part of being human and is needed no matter how much rage it will cause.
If your saying Halo is copying CoD look at the bigger picture Custom Loadouts have been in countless fps games before CoD 4 but theatre hasn’t FORGE hasn’t AND a continuous multiplayer weekly episodic campaign hasn’t (Spartan Ops) Halo 4 is original it’s just getting inspiration to improve and expand Halo while keeping it original and creative. Personally i can’t wait to adapt to the new gameplay, and most of all PLAY THAT -Yoink!- CAMPAIGN!
Just a final note, there are going to be classic playlists so MLG players will be right at home, so if your worried about AA’s then there is a place for you!
Why don’t you just post this in the sparse amount of topics currently complaining about this game’s originality? Oh, probably because you can’t find any.
Apart from your post being so long and only having about 4 periods in it, I liked it. I agree with almost every point you made. Just bc Halo is adding some things that CoD has doesn’t mean they’re copying it. It just means that they’re learning what’s popular from other games in the FPS genre.

> Halo CE was original. Everything else isn’t
Spartan Ops is original.

The music is original and iconic.

THE GAME IS ORIGINAL
You see a screenshot of halo gameplay you will instantly tell it’s halo.
Show me a picture of CoD, it could be 500 different games!
Halo has individuality, cod does not

Halo has always been about individuality and customization! Theatre, Forge, Character customization.
I can’t think of any other Fps games that has all 3, so for custom loadouts to be in halo 4 it’s like an added bonus, more ways for us to stand out from the crowd and play how we like to play.
And like i said, there are classic playlist for people such as yourselves, play them as you please and do not ruin the game for others

You are so oblivious to what Halo actually is, it’s extremely sad. Halo has always been about starting on an even playing field and fighting for power weapons and map control.
Let me guess… Your first Halo game was Halo 3, right?

How so? We hardly have any info on it. If anything is similar to Halo, it’s GoW in terms of how they handle their weapon sandbox.

You do understand that we won’t be able to spawn with unbalanced weapons they stated this many times.
And from the vidoc we can see there are weapon specific gametypes. I agree spawning on an even playing field is what halo multiplayer has evolved around and im pretty sure they are not going to ruin it, CARBINE vs DMR vs BR vs AR vs Assualt Carbine vs Plasma rifle vs SMG ect <— it will be along them lines, evenly balanced each with disadvantages and advantages for example plasma gets your shields down quick but takes longer to kill you and the br gets shields down slow but kills with a headshot THESE ARE BALANCED and pretty much what every halo btb match is like, just remember the weapon specific gametypes, and again i tell you the same thing for the 4th time, There are classic playlists go and play them and stop getting in the way of our fun!
Oh and my first Halo was Halo 2 i later went on to buy 1 then 3 on day of release. I have all the novels, Halo legends, all the games LEGENDARY EDITION and i’m waiting to preorder the h4 legendary edition if there is going to be one

Just to add to his quote, the weapons also have a range efficiency. A BR can kick the crap out of an AR if its far away. At the same time, the AR can do the same to the BR, but in close range.
If they are doing weapon loadouts, I imagine we’ll be picking from the following, from an educated guess, from close range to long range:
AR, Magnum, BR, DMR.
I have absolutely no idea what the Assault Carbine does. Therefore, I left it out.
We may have Covie equivilants in the mix, but I got no info if we’ll be able to spawn with them, or if we’ll need to pick them up.

Thanks for adding and im thankful you understand me, some of these trolls just don’t see logic they think inside a tiny box and are extremely reluctant to see the bigger picture.
As soon as the word “Sprint” is mentioned they all say it’s Call of Halo 4,
because sprint is only in one game ever devoloped “CoD” Halo must be copying CoD therefore 343 suck.
They forget 343 made waypoint
343 made halo legends.
343 Remade Halo 1 which fans have wanted since the launch of the 360.
THEY ARE MAKING HALO 4
STOP SAYING THEY ARE KILLING IT.
HALO WOULD BE DEAD WITHOUT THEM.

The majority of new things are not original, remember that.
Here’s a list of what is original in Halo:
-Storyline
-Music
-Halo: CE gameplay
-Art
-Theater (?)
-Forge (?)
Stuff that isn’t original:
-AA’s and Sprint, sprint can be easily fixed by allowing us to walk a little faster.
-Loadouts as you said are not original, and are pointless if you have map based weapon spawns.
-Custom weapon attachments
-Join in progress, I admit is a good thing, but it’s not original.
-Instant respawn, is not needed and has never been needed in Halo.
-Random weapon spawns, pointless since we have JiP.
-Spartan Ops is the same as ME3’s multiplayer, only with cutscenes
-Infinity is just MM renamed
-Customization of characters
-FF is just a Halo version of Horde
-Duel wielding
Shall I go on?
There are a lot of things that I’ve liked in Halo.
I’ll even go as far as to say I’d like to keep some of the things added since Halo 3: ODST.
But the majority of things that have been/are being added are not for Halo.
So either don’t add it or keep it in Social/Custom playlists, and out of Campaign/CMM.
it’s really late here, i should get to bed but screw it
