So im hearing a lot of talking of people saying halo is becoming cod because it using perks… Well we have heard nothing about what they do… Franky said himself that halo will be a balanced game… So im pretty sure that means they will make sure the perks are balanced and if the aa’s are in the game im sure they have learned they lesson with reach will balance them out and hopefully take out the over powered ones like armor lock… Cod did not invent the word perks… Im sure 343 has there own idea with the word perks…
people are just too defensive
because we all know CoD hosts the namesake for “perks”, everytime someone hears the word, they imedeatly think of CoD, and having CoD to do things with Halo makes people upset
i know that 343 will not turn Halo into “Space Cod”
i agree with you… ^
CoD perks affect things like how far away someone has to be for you to stick a knife in their throat. I’m sure that 343 is smart enough to know how to do this.
AAs are balanced.
They’re just stupid and make the game less fun to play.

looks at Armour Lock
Balanced you say? A likely story.
Though the OP is right, we haven’t heard anything about these perks aside from the fact that they won’t be like what everybody is crying about (in other words, they’re not CoD). People need to chill out a bit and wait until we get actual info about the game before complaining and crying.
If you don’t think 343i are taking steps to make Halo more like COD you are kidding yourself. Halo was once the top dog. Now COD is the most valuable video game franchise on the planet. From a business perspective it makes complete sense to align yourself more with what is currently more popular and profitable. You don’t make more money by ignoring what customers want.
When it comes to being the hottest new trend you have two choices. Innovate or imitate. Both are viable options. Innovation is risky, it’s higher risk/reward but if you nail it you can have the next greatest thing and be the new trend setter. If you imitate it’s safer and more reliable. Neither path is wrong. But you can bet your bottom dollar that a lot of design decisions will be based on winning back the COD crowd.
Some people just need to chill. Play the game, then whine if you don’t like it. Don’t complain about chief’s awesome new armor, or that halo will become cod cause of perks. Like sleepy said, 343 most likely has a different idea of perks than what cod has. (If there are perks.)

^ This, also this game is competing with COD and a lot of other shooters. The community hates using idea from the enemy. Although some people can see it as change for Halo others see it as becoming “space cod” or whatever that is.
I’ve lost faith in logical reasoning, when it comes to the discussions and rants that pop up around here. After a multitude of people (including myself) have tried to say this… They just don’t get it. It’s like trying to teach a cat how to play Chess.

Frankie said perks are not in the game. Everyone needs to calm down. A website used the wrong wording and now everyone is freaking out. Yes there will be custom loadouts. This could be starting weapons like primary weapon of AR or BR or Single shot rifle (NOT SNIPER) starting grenade types etc. Im sure there won’t be a jetpack but maybe a booster which will launch you in the air with a quick burst of jet not something where you can float around.
,like how others have said, Activision just wants money from their CoD serries,
Bungie, and 343i care about their community, and to make sure that they get their money’s worth, as well as to make money
think about it Halo came before CoD, it was the first Console shooter, and that is something to be proud of
combined with the fact that they do frequent bug checks, comunity activities, and chats, and overall game fixes, makes it far more popular that CoD,
the fact is, people who like Halo, buy it, and those same poeple who see that 343i/bungie is fixing the game’s problems, will good-mouth them to their freinds,and boom!, 343i/bungie has even more customers
while on CoD’s side, the make a succesful franchise, that the competitive peoples like alot, so it becomes popular, and more poeple hear about it,
they don;t hear that it’s good, they just hear that alot of people play it, so they go out and buy it, and turn out to like it, but they soon move away from it, as it does not hold itself up very well, but then Activision comes out with a “new” game the next year, and those people think that it will be hellza lot better, so they go out and buy it, only to be dissapointed.
-are there new things? Yes.
-did they fix some old issues? not really
-did they come with a new engine, or new gameplay ideas? Not at all, they just made -some new box art, added hype by making cool trailers, and sold a Solid re-make of their previous game
now lets look at halo,
-are there new things? Yeah
-did they fix old issues? Hell yeah!
-Did they come up with a new engine and new gameplay ideas? F**k yes, EVERY TIME to be accurate, and that is how it thrives, by making a new original game every time
1 quality, original, and flawless game every 3-5 years is better than a PURE remake of a flawed game, every 1 year
and this time will be no exception
sprint is in the game but from what Im seeing is that maybe when you are shot you are knocked out of sprint and can only sprint if you are full shield. We had a total of 15 secs of gameplay which looked like Halo IMO

it doesnt matter how “special” they make perks. i know what they mean by perks and loadouts and its limited. not for me not for halo
I guess you didn’t read my post. Came from Frankies mouth that perks do not exsit. Load-outs are totally different. Weapon load out and grenade load outs. Some people like AR some people like BR some people like DMR… Some people like pistol. I would welcome the option to choose BR over AR start.
i did after i posted this sorry ^
I think they should leave halo as a balanced game anr i dont know were your comming from when you say armor lock is cheep its there for a reason and frankly most people i see with it suck with it
