DISCLAIMER: I have played most Modern FPS Games such as COD, BF, Crysis, Halo ect so i know what i’m talking about. these are my opinions and are not Facts. just comparisons from what i think. this isn’t a rage thread.
okay i’ve been an avid Halo fan for years and i’ve noticed since Halo 4’s release everyone is hating on Halo for being too “COD Liek”…
Here are my opinions on some of those matters…
Kill Cams:
Call of Duty didn’t invent these… sure they added them in during Modern Warfare 2 and made people think IW invented them but no. they made a really popular game and people think that way, Every game is like this these days for the Modern FPS Genre. i can list a number of games that added this but i couldn’t give a damn…
it’s a way for you to look at how you died and to see if you can avoid the same death again. or to see what weapon they’re using and maybe use the same against them.
Loadouts:
Now i’m not sure but ever since Counter Strike i can remember this… You start up a game, choose the guns you want and go a head… obviously this is using a different system but it is still similar by picking your loadouts/“Weapons” before the start of a match, if we look at this Counter Strike was one of the first games to use this system and it works well… sure people may have used a similar system for other games such as COD,BF,Crysis but for FPS games it works. that is why people use this.
Perks:
one of the main things in Online FPS Games is that “Perks” can either Help you out in either helping you gain an Advantage or help your team mates out. in Halo 4 for example you can gain the upper hand by reloading quicker or getting more ammo for your Ordnance drops. not to let you get extra damage or stay hidden from enemies…that is what’s different between Halo 4 and the Call of Duty franchise… Halo makes you gain a slight upper hand while Call Of Duty gives you a bigger advantage which is unfair.
Care Packages / Ordnance Drops
now whith Call of Duty if you’re getting a kill streak you’ll get rewarded to get even more kills or block their Radar or get more ammo. some of these are unfair while with halo’s Ordnance it’s random on what you get and you don’t need to be on a kill streak, you fill the gauge by assists, captures or by other means… this doesn’t mean it’s the same as Call of Duty’s it’s completely differenly.
if you’ve got any other comparisons i can look at please post below.
