It seems to me the Halo community has a very unhealthy hate obsession with anything and everything Call of Duty. There are some here that oppose ADS for no other reason than the fact that it’s “like COD”. Same with sprint. It just comes across as so much insecurity. If it’s a good idea, who cares if it slightly emulates COD? Even with those features Halo is still a completely different kind of game on its own right.
COD took ideas from Halo too. Many things from certain controls, to regenerating health, to party-based matchmaking: all taken from Halo. Why can’t Halo take ideas back? Why must it be “100% CoD free”?
Its just branding. Like when people hate on Playstation or Android phones. People like to brag about the things they have and hate on the things they don’t.

“Too much like CoD” is good enough reason, even if you want to ignore all the competitive flaws of the mechanics themselves.
Halo isn’t -Yoinking!- CoD.
CoD isn’t -Yoinking!- Halo.
Just because they’re both shooters doesn’t mean they should both play the same.
People don’t literally mean CoD in specific. They mean the kind of genre that games like CoD fall into.
When you start borrowing game mechanics, you start to fundamentally change how the game plays. -Yoink- like skins and killcams don’t really matter.

COD didn’t exist when Halo first released. Where was that claim ever made?
And why do you insist on it being 100% completely different, even down to the ADS? Why can it not show any similarities AT ALL?
If the OP thinks it’s “fear” of CoD, he’s not paying attention. If I wanted to play Call of Duty, I would. I said in another thread that I’m ok with that franchise. The two franchises have such different gameplay, and I don’t want or need Halo to be CoD with a different coat of paint.

Halo still plays completely different than COD even with the changes. It’s still arena-based combat that requires you fight for power weapons to win. It’s still a game where you can jump 10 ft the air and sword a guy. It’s still the game you can discharge a plasma pistol and switch to your battle rifle to finish the person off.

Common sense, but it seems that it is not obvious to many people.
I see a lot of people that just repeat “adapt or leave” to those who criticize a number of changes to the gameplay. That’s paradoxal as it seems that now players don’t want to adapt to the specific gameplays of different games and want every game to play in a similar way…

In my opinion none of the additions have improved the quality of the game, or improved it in any significant way (Groundpound, Charge, and Slide are all pretty situational).
More =/= Better.
Less =/= Better.
New =/= Better.
Old =/= Better.

Umn… Slightly?
Poor choice of words… Slide, Ground Pound, Clamber, (obviously) Thrusters, etc. are all features Advanced Warfare has, and this is all in addition to kill cams and objective callouts; all of which Halo 5 has. I understand a few of these things were not invented solely by CoD, but it is still a MAJOR problem for Halo’s identity for them both to share these hard-coded gameplay elements.
If i wanna play CoD i play CoD, if i wanna play Halo… well, i play CoD. Thats the problem. Halo completely lost his own touch, its just another 3 month generic shooter everyone will forget if the sequel comes out.
