Hey, Guys. Franklin Wants Us To Compare This Game To COD.

Games Other Halo

Anyone remember that old interview with OXM and Franklin:
http://www.oxm.co.uk/33616/halo-4-dev-theres-a-lot-of-stuff-cod-does-beautifully-that-we-should-do-better/
Remember him saying, Word per Word.
"There’s a lot of stuff that COD does beautifully that we should do better, and that should always be everyone’s stance when they see a new game."

Kind of weird honestly, that kind of goes against what he said about ‘we aren’t chasing CoD’.

Regardless of weither or not Call of Duty was the first war game, or was original with it’s idea. We all know what game Insta Respawn, Sprint, Spartan Ops, and other ideas came from.

So, 343 fanboys. Stop saying denying or defending the Call of Duty influences.

You couldn’t of just let the annoying topics die? Hell the least you could of done is just post this in one of the many other threads with similar themes.

For the record, I doubt that Infinity Ward or Treyarch would deny the huge influences Halo had on Call of Duty.

The road goes both ways.

All 343 is doing is the exact same thing everyone did when Halo was top dog, take what it did right and use it. When Halo was king, developers were ditching health packs like they caused the plague and two weapon carrying became a norm. Hell, even Halo 2’s MM was saw as the best thing since sliced bread by the industry.

This has happened in the video game industry since the beginning.

Nope, this needs to be brought up. Seems like everyone is forgeting this interview, and for some reason believe Halo 4 isn’t copying Call of Duty, when it’s obivously trying to ride on Call of Duties suceess.

COD was not the first shooter game. as in my other post. ther is marathon in 1994, Doom in 1992 and if you REALLY want to go back there is Castle Wolfenstein in 1981 (which also happens to be about WW2) so no. COD is not the first shooter. nor is Halo turning into it

Oh, it’s this thread again. How refreshing.

Like everybody rode on Halo’s success, even Call of Duty. Halo sure isn’t above doing that.

You’re wrong about that. Castle Wolfenstein was a side scrolling shooter released in 1981. Its sequel, Wolfenstein 3D, was the progenitor to FPS and was released in 1991. Doom was 1993, not 1992.

Same. To be honest, I’m still giving 343 a little faith, that Halo 4 can turn out good. I love Halo, and I don’t want to see it become a bad game series.
