HALO IS NOT COPYING COD

Ok Im so sick of people treating CoD as some ultimate innovator of gaming. Literally every change that halo makes or every new feature that is added is compared to CoD, and it’s ridiculous. I mean can Halo do ANYTHING different without you so called “fans” criticizing it. It’s ridiculous that halo fans would be thinking that halo is copying anything. Just because they are adding the least bit similar features to CoD doesn’t mean they’re copying it, they’re just taking something new and setting a new standard with it. I mean if we’re going to be saying everything new is being copied then we might as well say that halo copied goldeneye because that was also a console shooter. My point is stop being ignorant purists and let halo be the innovator it’s known for being.

Spe- I mean Spartan Ops, Press “X” to Spawn, Joining In-game…

Yeah. It’s copying CoD.

Did you not hear them?

Spartan Ops

Of course not. CoD’s a decent game series, Halo isn’t any more.

RAGE!!!

Nothing is being innovated here in Halo 4, from what we’ve seen. CoD isn’t an innovator in the slightest, but the fact that its gaming mechanics are being forced into every FPS game in the market is disgusting.

oooooooooooooooooooohhhhh yes it is.

Spartan Ops
Spartan Points
Loadouts
Instant Respawns
etc

I’ve never seen Cod in space or ever seen the covenant in Cod. There is no shields in Cod I could go on for hours. If you can’t tell the diference between halo and cod you really need help

I mean how is halo 4 an identical copy of cod

Spartan Ops is probably just a name placeholder and the actual mode sounds nothing like spec ops. And joining in game is in almost every other multiplayer game out there, not just COD. This is just the kind of ignorance OP is addressing.

Really? To argue 343 didn’t directly take these ideas because CoD does them is just illogical.

Nothing wrong with using ideas from other games, just don’t deny that they are from other games.

Oh wow this whole time i thought that people where saying that halo was copying call of duty. I must have been wrong because you are claiming that people are calling out call of duty for copying halo.

Oh nvm, nobody said that call of duty was copying halo, its the other way around…
Nor is anyone claiming that halo 4 is an identical copy of cod. We are saying that its is taking alot of features from cod. Look at the argument

They’re copying what’s popular and right now CoD is popular. Trying to deny the likenesses just proves that you’re naive.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAhHA NO

> Spartan Ops

mk what are spartans? hmmm well Special Forces Operations(spec ops) and are infact the best of the best of special forces. Now what kind of missions would spartans go on? hmmmmmm Well maybe Special Operations, and seeing are there the most special special operations i would assumer they might go on Spartan Ops or Spartan Operations HAH wow that make no since what so ever does it lol.

> Spartan Points

This is a little Meh its not anything to freak out the points for you spartan Whether it be credits, unlock, or spartan point it all mean the same and it just a name

> Loadouts

Load out are actually a forum of RPG mechanic that allows player to have greater control over there personal character and play styles which as ove curent modern games are being used in FPS, TPS, And many other genre

> Instant Respawns

David has come out to say that there will be extended time in objective and im 100% positive that there will be time extension for many reasons whether its for betrayal, suicide, and many other reason left unknown. im sure there will be more

Yeah I guess but it still dosn’t warrent all the HALO IS DEAD!!! and HALO IS COD!!! threads

Halo is copying CoD. I am not saying CoD is the great inovator. I am saying Halo 4 is the great imitator.

Ok, so you basically just explained why its called spartan ops instead of spec ops. thank you, because i couldn’t seem to figure it out.

Name a few fps games out right now other than call of duty that use a credit or point system that allow you to buy weapons and abilities for use as custom classes or loadouts during gameplay.

I’m not talking about the different ways that instant respawns are implemented, im talking about the general concept of them, and that somehow, they were never in any other halo game before halo 4.

How can u possibly deny that 343 is taking features of call of duty and smacking them on halo?

Spartan ops- slightly different but still the same concept. And even if the name changes, why did they originally put ops in the name if they didnt partially copy the idea from something else?

Spartan points- Same concept

Loadouts- Same concept

Instant Respawns- thank you haha

Well im sorry to say but halo is dying. And I can understand maybe imitating 1 or 2 features from another game that is selling really well, as long as they work with the game. But when you release information for your game and you have these many features being copied/imitated from another game, there is going to be backlash from your fans and questions asked.
