White Recon. That’s my tradition. I was going for Recon w/ Surge skin. Here’s the problem.
Thanks to Call of Duty’s heavy influence on Halo 4, I have to go through waves of ONE of the impossible Commendations required to unlocking my Halo identity. Killing people with the Covenant Carbine? Is that some kinda joke? How the Beamish am I supposed to kill someone with this disaster?
I’m a Battle Rifle guy, and I have to abandon that just so I could get a stupid piece of armor. It gets better. I have to go through waves killing people with Plasma Pistols and Plasma grenades. And the Storm Rifle? It’s like shooting paper-bullets.
So I’m supposed to be a prodigy with these Nerf guns? Oh geez. I was looking forward to a challenge, not an impossibility. Oh, any pro-tips on how to counter/run away from a SAW, being equipped with Halo’s most inferior weapons? Because at the rate the enemy team gets theirs, it feels exactly like that famous FPS.
So. Is this what I’m doing for the next three decades? Yeah, I’ll “give it my all”, but I feel like I’m playing some random game I’m terrible at. I remember serving -Yoink- in Halo 3 just yesterday. Look how fast things change. And these paper-guns aren’t doing me justice.
Are you dead set on getting the skinned version of recon? There is a standard version of recon you can get just by leveling up if that will work as well.

Because CoD ever had customization of character based off weapon progression
INB4 Gun skin, I’m talking about your actual character.
Fact is, I was in “rage mode” not because I couldn’t get the armor, but because I was in the middle of matches, getting my -Yoink- kicked using Covenant weapons. I love Halo 4, but this whole “good at Halo 3/bad at Halo 4” thing has me on edge a bit.
Sorry about the CoD rant but, as I said before, I had my nerd-rage. I’ll try to get back at this commendation later, but Halo 4 is exhausting right now. And I’ve had enough dying for a few hours.

You’re in denial if you think this game hasn’t been heavily influenced by Call of Duty.
about cod’s influence… I’m not even sure if it can all even be put down to it. Personally, halo 4 feels a lot more like resistance 3… and yes, i know they all take facets from cod, but the futuristic design and gun mechanics are a great deal more similar to resistance’s multiplayer than whatever it was based on.

It really hasn’t, but seeing as how nearly all of the community is HURRR CoD and doesn’t understand game design and progression, or the fact that CoD didn’t invent any of the features people are complaining about as well…
Most definitely the carbine needs a buff. Either one less shot to kill or a larger mag so that when and if I get the kill I don’t have to reload to kill the next guy. But as far as the storm rifle goes…its awesome. Takes shields out and you don’t have to reload it. Just pause when you/they jump for a sec and then finish the kill. Cant help with plasmas or plasma pistol. Those are weak. But I feel ya. If I see a challenge…im gonna do it.
