I believe Halo 4 is being made the way it is so that players from Battlefield and COD can transition in to a familiar enviroment. They hope to have these people flow in and be comfortable with similar gameplay styles such as loadouts and purchasing items. Remember guys that gaming right now lies primarily in the younger generation under 20 years old. Rated M games or not. These little guys didnt grow up on Halo they came in on COD. COD isnt only a game its a trend.
I really think as much as they say it isnt being made in any reflection of these titles…it somewhat is.
Homefront
Battlefield
COD
ETC ETC
All these games are similar loadouts and classes and perks points all that stuff and if you can beat them join them.
Frankie said…’‘There are things that COD does beautifully that we should do better.’’
IF YOU CANT BEAT THEM JOIN THEM!
Look at other games over the years
Halo 1
Unreal
Perfect dark
Goldeneye
Turok
All shooters are similar why because its what was played at the time no loadouts just chaos and fast paced moving its what was hot at the time so other games followed. Just like COD and games today others are following.
COD is bringing in millions and majority of online players play this game…H4 needs to be friendly to them in hopes these COD players jump in. Alot of COD kids didnt grow up on Halo they jumped into a FPS world based around this game.
DONT GET ME WRONG THERE ARE ALOT OF YOUNGER PLAYERS UNDER 21 THAT RESPECT AND KNOW THE FRANCHISE I KNOW YOU GUYS ARE OUT THERE TO!!!
You know, I’ve got a gold copy of Halo4 right here and I could answer your question if only I’d put it in my 360.
If that’s the case, every game is a direct rip-off of Pong. We use pixels to bring entertainment.
We had the grenade launcher in Reach. People went nucking futs over it, until the Beta when it showed that it was the complete opposite of the infamous noobtube from CoD.
You go no supportive evidence if any of the new features are going to put Halo in the dirt. You’re basing alot of this on an article that chose to be as vague as possible on many of the new features.
Many games do take stuff from others, and make their twist on it. If it’s fun, why NOT put it in?
Yeah, because any game wanting to be massively successful should definitely copy Homefront…
Microsoft has shown interest in releasing Halo annually like the CoD franchise, and the leaks show clear evidence that they are copying the CoD franchise

Dude its not vague lol. Its stated already, read the scans the fact that theres spartan points and that I rank up and earn more unlocks and perks and crap im so tired of that stuff. ‘‘Well then dont play it’’ It sucks because Halo was the game that I went to when I didnt '‘want to play it’'alot of the stuff people hated and wanted removed is returning. If its all smooth and cool why is there so much uprising against all this stuff being added? People are pissed off because they dont want to give it a try they did with Reach they just want it gone. Sprint is w.e. but loadouts and points and credits and stuff is NOT Halo it just is not it. Ill even take the join in progress system or the instant respawn ill even take the semi random weapon drops. Im not opposed against everything but some stuff really really isnt crazy to add after so much hate was expressed towards it and still is.
> Yeah, because any game wanting to be massively successful should definitely copy Homefront…
No, Homefront followed shadows of COD along with alot of games and it seems H4 is doing the same. H4 is not following the shadows of Homefront.
If this is all phony bs fake cod should be concerned why would Frank say
There are things COD does beautifully that we should do better.
^^^^ DUDE IF THEY ARE THINKING IT WHY WOULDNT WE ASSUME?
Didnt some of infinity ward and treyarch come to work on H4?
> You know, I’ve got a gold copy of Halo4 right here and I could answer your question if only I’d put it in my 360.
My copy of Halo 4 came from the Forerunner/legendary edition that just came in.
Note- Frankie personally delivered it to my house.

Yeah I know somebody who helped create the Zombiez mode for Black Ops has a job in 343i now.
I just want to run down some of the new features because nothing I’ve seen or heard is exclusive to COD. The only original feature to COD is killstreaks and maybe ADS. I’m not sure about ADS though.
Forerunner Vision
weapon/armor mods
drop in/out matches
random weapon drops
default sprint
unlockables
spartan points
spartan ops
First I want to say I’m not a die hard Halo fan but I like and respect the series. I mostly play Gears3,Counterstrike,TF2, and BF3(ps3). When I do play halo I have fun and I think Halo Reach is a solid game. Sometimes I play Halo 3 but connections are horrible and every match I play people quit. IMO drop in/out is needed along with a Ranked system that penalizes quitters.
None of the features/modes I’ve heard for Halo 4 originated with COD. Aside from weapon/armor mods. I don’t see the comparisons especially since COD didn’t start that trend either. I’ve seen fools say Spartan Ops copies Spec Ops. why, because the both use “S” and “O”? If the co-op is story based than its more of a side story or second campaign. Currency for buying items has been around since CounterStrike. Random weapon drops looks like an original idea to break up the wash/rinse/repeat that plagues Arena shooters like Halo. On top of that I’m sure there will be a dedicated classic playlist for the “pros” with old school settings.
Somebody help me understand how anything from COD has made it into Halo. Lets not forget COD has ripped from many games including Halo.
Of course 343 Industries is doing this, in large part, to gather new fans. That’s how you improve a franchise’s sales. Getting more people to buy it by enticing them with things that they either are fascinated by or recognize and enjoy.
I don’t mind. I haven’t played any of those other shooter games, so for me it’ll be a new experience to partake of these similar elements. And it won’t be a jarring one, since I’ll be doing so in the Halo setting. I do hope that we have the ability to set up an “original” halo experience with gametype options.
Crysis tried that but epicly failed mostly do to the super -Yoink- glitchy game and -Yoink-.
