To everyone complaining

First I’ll talk about the people complaining that Halo 5 is just a copy of CoD. WAKE UP! Do you realize what game genre’s and First person shooters are? Of course they will be the same, they are both the same genre, they are very identical!!! The only thing that sets an FPS apart from another is the time it takes place, physics, weapons(sometimes), and graphics with a bunch of other small things.

If you’re complaining that Halo is a copy of CoD, or CoD is a copy of Halo you’re pretty much saying “(insert 2 ) rap songs sound a like!” or “Rockband and guitar hero are too much alike! even though they are music games!” There is no argument, If you are complaining that two games of the same genre are too much alike you have proven you know nothing of the topic and complaining about nothing. Please go learn more about the subject and comeback and try and make an argument,

For those who are complaining about change, and how you want the same game. You are no better then those saying its a copy of another game that’s practically the same. Honestly, ask your self if you would still be playing Halo if it were Halo 2.4 that just had better graphics. There is no game in gaming history to stay exactly the same as it was before so stop asking for it. Look at the differences between Halo 2 and 3, so much changed between the two games and everyone loved them, though more people loved Halo 3 over 2 because how competitive it was and didn’t have as much bugs.

When I see people on the forums here, saying “I hate these changes!!!” Your really asking for a recipe of disaster, If 343I listened to you and made Halo 3.2 and only made halo 3.X from here on out they would go out of business all because you are to ignorant and dogmatic to try something new. I’ve played since CE first came out, and In my honest opinion, every Halo game has been better then the last, and they are all unique in their own ways.

I send my peace, I know this will never soften the diapers and tears of everyone on these forums, but as a Halo legend I’m honestly very excited for Halo 5 and from what I’ve seen, its going to be 2x more arena styled then Halo 2 and be way more competitive then Halo 3. Keep up the good work 343I and keep up the crying community!

Thank you, because we haven’t seen this post a thousand times already.

Look, I’m not one of the people who want a straight repeat of 2 and 3, but it isn’t like I don’t understand where the worry is coming from. Halo Reach and 4 butchered the Halo formula to the point that most players are immediately, and justifiably, paranoid of any changes that don’t seem like they would fit properly. What most of the complainers want aren’t no changes, but changes that keep Halo’s fundamentals working: map flow (ruined by sprint), skill jumps (possibly changed by clamber), etc. Instead, what many people see are just the addition of random elements ripped from other popular games and shoved into Halo, many of which no one asked for or wanted (ADS reskin, Spartan Chatter).

Personally, I’ll wait for the beta to make my decisions, as everyone should. I’m excited to see how it plays, and look forward to seeing how 343 tries to justify sprint knowing how badly it breaks match flow. Either way, my biggest problem is that 343i’s changes are uncreative and predictable, and they seem dedicated to making the game look and sound completely un-Halo. But at the end of the day gameplay is what matters the most. For that, we’ll see in December.
