I am finally thankful

Games Other Halo

I just played some COD MW3 with my brother online. I have compared Halo 4 to COD with it’s perks implementation, but I must retract that statement. Even with all of the perks that Halo 4 brought to the game, it is NOTHING like the travesty that is COD.

Halo 4 still takes skill. The first person to shoot isn’t guaranteed a win like they are in COD. In COD, if someone gets behind you, you’re dead in half a second. In Halo 4, at least you have a fighting chance because of the shields. In COD, there is this thing called quickscoping because COD uses an auto-focus feature. It doesn’t exist in Halo 4 and I am so grateful for it not being in there. In Halo 4, you can use grenades tactically and they become an important weapon to take someone down. In COD, grenade means nothing. You can throw a grenade where someone is camping (and that is ALL what COD is about), but it wont help you in a “gunfight.”

In Halo 4, nothing is going to hover in the sky and kill you just because someone on the other team killed 5 people in a row. They may get a power weapon or some boost, but you still have a fighting chance against them. In Halo 4, you have to hit someone and be accurate in order to kill them in the fewest amount of shots. In COD, a body shot works just fine. In Halo 4, you can see on the radar where an opponent is due to the motion sensor. In COD, the other guy has to shoot or the UAV must be up, and you better pray they don’t have assassin.

In Halo 4, the concept of team actually exists. In COD, it’s almost every man for themselves. A kill actually does mean something in Halo 4, because you worked and outsmarted your opponent to get that kill. In COD, a monkey throwing feces could get a kill while both throwing feces and eating a banana.

For all the complaining that I have done about how Halo 4 is the new COD, I shouldn’t. Halo 4 is NOTHING like COD. The support and tactical perks we get in Halo 4 are minor at best and not really overpowering unlike some of the COD perks. The Armor Abilities can sometimes break the board (Jet Packs or Active Camo snipers anyone?) and can be annoying at times, but are they as bad as starting out with a one shot kill weapon like a sniper? The boltshot needs CQC and takes some time, so it’s not as instant one shot as a sniper is. And the ordinances? A lot easier to deal with than flying helicopters shooting overtop of you or a missile headed straight for you with nothing you can do.

Halo 4 still takes a lot of skill to even be decent at. COD is still for people who like to hold down buttons with no thought. Halo 4 did get a little closer to COD, but it is absolutely NOTHING like COD.

Meh, Black Ops is better than Modern Warfare too. I still prefer Halo though, but to each their own.

Even with a few borrowed features.
Halo and Call of Duty are nothing and never will be anything alike.

Comparing them is silly.

For me, Halo, is the only Multiplayer FPS game worth playing. Most others suck with the exception of the Battlefield series.

Bottom line
Halo > CoD :slight_smile:

The OP gets it. Finally someone does.

they are just two totally different games. I like Halo much more and I think it requires more skill. However, I would like aim assist/hit boxes to be decreased. A good strafe just isn’t effective anymore. I had to switch to bumper-jumper so I could jump and shoot at the same time.

The aim assist/lock on is insane in Halo 4. It’s like Reach really. Perhaps even worse because my reticule will just move onto something else. Potential one shots do not die because the game thinks that you need help aiming towards the next guy.

You are essentially fighting something you shouldn’t have to be in conflict with; The game itself.

The fact that we can now compare Halo to COD is depressing. RIP Halo…

i swore off CoD :stuck_out_tongue: i got tired of the people act on that game i like the community of halo better

(i love you guys ;D)

Its the slippery slope though my friend. What I think we’re somewhat concerned by is that today its just a little COD influence, but in Halo 5 it could be more so and so on and so forth until we have Call of Halo: Future Warfare.

This post is full of :slight_smile:

DON’T MENTION CoD; YOUR THREAD WILL GET LOCKED!!!

The easy kill thing is exactly why silly girls play CoD

They won’t get away with that -Yoink- in Halo

That’s cool, but it won’t stop the mindless comparisons. Halo is nothing like COD and it’s frustrating to see people continue to make the comparison. Glad the OP realizes this. Too bad many others do not.

15

It’s easy to say Halo 4 is CoD when comparing the implemented features, but the gameplay is just so different it’s pretty much impossible to say Halo 4 is like CoD with a straight face. I’m glad the OP realizes this. Say what you want about Halo 4, but it is nothing like CoD.

I always wondered why they were always compared to each other. Does it really matter? Can’t people just play what they want and stop this comparing -Yoink- all the time. It gets really old.
