I canot stand you people that keep whining about how “HALO COPIED COD WHAAAAAAAA”. First of all, FPS games do not “copy” features from one another…otherwise one could argue that EVERY FPS copied from Doom and CounterStrike. But, if we want to act like children and bring up how “HALO COPIED COD”, let me settle the record.
AHEM:
-COD4 blatantly ripped off “custom classes” and choosing your own weapons. This originated in CounterStrike and probably a few mods for HF as well. I remember the OG HF Mod days, back when half you whiners were probably ****-ing yourselves and watching Barney.
-COD4 stole grenade indicators from Battlefield 2 (and possibly the OG BF<----don’t remember). Anyhoo, CS also had grenade indicators and I believe the HF Mod that predated CS also had grenade indicators at some point.
-COD4 stole “killstreaks” from the CS mod community and arguably Battlefield 2. In the same logic of you whiners, the vehicles in BF2 were ripped off in COD4 by killstreaks. That kind of distortion is what I’ve been seeing Halo 4 whiners complain about when comparing the game to COD.
-COD4 stole hitmarkers, again a couple CS mods had it. Pretty sure Battlefield 2 had it too, someone can confirm this…possibly.
-COD4 stole S&D from CS. It stole Domination from Battlefield. It stole King of the Hill from Halo 1 and 2. It stole Ground War from Battlefield. It stole Team Deathmatch from Unreal Tournament.
-Speaking of Unreal Tournament (The good ol’ days), COD ripped off the HUD from it if I remember correctly. All I remember when I first played COD 4 is like “-Yoink!- these *****s stole the HUD from UT”. Might have been like UT2 though.
I could keep listing more, but I would go on forever. Point is, Halo didn’t rip off COD. If anything it ripped off CS, like every other shooter… at least Halo is original. If you think Halo “ripped off” COD, cool story bro. COD ripped off every shooter that came before it.
I kinda want to go play UT now, so I’ll stop ranting…but yeah.
