For me COD and BF play almost identical to each other. I prefer the ‘cartoon’ of Halo over COD/BF’s ‘realistic’ feel. But Halo 4 was such a disappointment.
And what other FPS console games are available?
So then rather than pay homage to Halo CE and H2, the games that created the actual community to build on, 343i goes and copies COD/BF. And then they act all big shot with this garbage —>>>> “‘Halo 4 Officially the Top-Selling Microsoft Game Studios Title of All Time in the U.S.”
YA 343i, BECAUSE WE ALL THOUGHT WE WERE BUYING HALO, NOT SOME MAPLESS UNRANKED HALF DONE GAME.
If we knew what we where buying Halo 4 would be the Least-Selling of all time. Just take a poll of who’s still playing out of the number of copies sold.
-= The Big Fix=-
Redo Halo 2 with Xbox One graphics for H5.
Give us great maps, proper rankings, classic weapons/vehicles, proximity voice/trash talking dead players, etc.
Or just give the keys back to Bungie, they’ll drop Destiny and 343i can be forever know as the game studio that destroyed the greatest FPS console game ever made.
LOL. That about sums it up!
sighs Just play Quake or Unreal Tournament. Instead of expecting the impossible. If you want to play arena shooters so much.
I’m personally just waiting for Destiny to come with it’s own new brand of kick -Yoink-. Though yes, I would like to see proper Halo games released as well, if 343i actually learned their lesson (which they should have learned from Bungie’s Reach disaster), and they start producing Halo games based on balanced competitive play with gameplay mechanics designed to look back and use the best and most well liked mechanics from each separate game, as opposed to trying to change it into it’s own unique identity and make it “Unlike” the other Halo’s (which is definitely an issue in 343i’s development philosophy for Halo 4), I’ll get my interest in the franchise back.
Halo players want to play Halo. Not CoD in space.
> Halo players want to play Halo. Not CoD in space.
Seriously. Why can’t 343 realize this. If halo 4 was renamed to “Call of duty: Super Soldier” I wouldn’t know the difference.

You must not play much CoD then.

While it might not have gone full Black Ops or MW2, Halo 4 plays alarmingly similarly to COD 4. You have fully customizable classes in both games, sprint-based maps and gameplay, perks, progressive ranks, and even killcams for crying out loud. One of the few things still separating Halo from the rest of today’s shooters are its slower killtimes due to shielding and “simple”, clean, and balanced maps.
> “simple”, clean, and balanced maps.
Most of Halo 4’s maps aren’t simple, clean or balanced. Vanilla settings were atrocious.

The terms are relative in comparison to maps in newer CODs, BFs, or other shooters. Halo 4’s built-ins are amazing compared to Downturn and Interchange, and most of lolMW3’s maps.

Please no. 
I am looking forward to Destiny as well as seeing what Bungie does with it. No Xbox One. No Halo 5. Just my 360 and Destiny.
Perhaps 343 will correct what went wrong or maybe they will just continue down their current path. People will still play their games (maybe not as many) and they will still make money. I might not understand why people are in favor of a Halo/CoD hybrid, but whatever floats their boat.

Didn’t see this bit before, and I sincerely hope you are joking.
