O.K. maybe thats not quite true, but there really is only one thing left to seperate the two but ill get to that later.
One thing that always bothered me about CoD was that players had a choice of many guns but all flocked to the same one, why? Not because it’s the funnest, but because it’s the best. CoD players were stupidly competitive in a video game and put score over skill and fun in a hopeless attempt at being “Good”. I hate that -$%#^- so much and i’m done with CoD, but now what is happening to halo? the same thing! Everyone has DMR’s(whatever) but that’s not the problem guys, i’m talking about a weapon that isn’t even a gun.
PLASMA GRENADES
There is nothing more frustrating than sneaking up to someone, no scoping with a sniper and being about to switch to your primary weapon and headshot, using a newly acquired powerweapon etc. and then just watching them turn around and start throwing grenades that can and will one hit kill you in about 1/3 tries(it happens alot even when i zigzag or thruster pack or whatever)… Perhaps i’m exaggerating it though, perhaps there is one more thing that’s more annoying-getting blown up hopelessly from 4 random plasma grenades thrown a stupid distance. In either case, plasma 'nades have got to go. It was rarely an option to start with plasma grenades and we can remember playing elite slayer in reach(sure, the spartans always won but it’s still an example) and trying to use vehicles but the elites would spam grenades like crazy and it was frustrating at the very least.
So I say it again: what is left to stand between CoD and halo? when I play cod I see a bunch of 12 year olds running around with the OP gun, then I RQ and put in halo only to see a bunch of 17 year olds running with the OP loadout, there’s no fun, no originality, no creativity in that. This needs to be fixed, guys.
5 years of age, that is all that stands between Halo 4 and CoD BO2(and a bit of attitude)
Yes i have seen people using Plasma Grenades alot but its part of the game,You can’t just ask to get rid of Plasma Grenades and expect 343 to get rid of a grenade that has been part of Halo for a long time.

I guess a better wording would be remove them from loadouts.

Why i see no reason to get rid of them from the Loadouts ? just because people use them alot doesn’t mean they should be gone.
Ppl that crouch with active camo boltshot are the same ppl that prone in corner in COD. Lol I have nothing against COD as a game, but there’s a lot of players that play like straight -Yoinks!- because of the equipment/perks that are available. H4 having active camo is one step towards it, but Halo and COD are still worlds apart IMO The closest thing in Halo to COD is SWAT…

I once heard a very prestigious halo player, multiple of them in fact, say that halo is a game of skill(duh). Frag grenades are used to gain a tactical advantage when a clear shot cannot be taken, pulse grenades are similar(I love pulse grenades and use them on every loadout, they are fun to use and GREAT for gameplay. Plasma grenades have no tactical use except against vehicles, plasma grenades are a braindead substitute for a lack of skill, plasma grenades are toxic for gameplay in a game of skill.
A lot of Halo players have always used and limited the game down to that one OP weapon that beats out all other weapons. It’s always in the same category too.
Frankly I think it’s the real reason why Halo has been dropping in numbers. Because every single game is the same exact thing.

God bless those of us who only use a carbine, storm rifle, and pulse grenades
That’s what we are but the majority always want to be at each others throats. It then becomes a limited game of “herpa derp, my preferences are better than YOUR preferences” and -Yoink- just gets crazy.
My solution? Stop it with the console war/favorite series BS. Knock it off because at the end of the day, your just hurting the community with pointless bashing. Will it stop because i said so? Hell no, but if some can be turned from the dark side, i am content.

I think this is more because the sandbox has become less balanced with each concurrent game. Look at Halo CE - the pistol was obviously that “one OP weapon”, but every weapon played an important role. AR for closes quarters and double beatdown, sniper could beat out pistol using long lines of sight on smaller maps, etc.
