Welcome to Gaia! ::

Anyone else disappointed as much as I am by the new Halo series giving into the idiots and making it more like Call of Duty, or how the story is getting shorter and shorter, and less believable (Even for Sci-Fi) then ever before? crying

Oh come on, give it a chance. The CoD comparison is just an exaggeration. People usually base this off the fact that it has perks and killcams. But think about it, CoD is dependent on perks. In Halo 4 however, the perks are so subtle you could still do great without them.

It just bothers me that people say Halo is becoming CoD, but in reality, CoD copies from everyone (Seriously, killcams weren't their idea). Halo is just taking popular FPS elements in general and adding them into the game. I can honestly say that Halo 4 is the most well thought-out game in the franchise. 343 obviously tried their best.

But that's the thing, CoD didn't start those concepts. CoD and most other modern shooters in general are just the culmination of various elements from other genres and earlier FPSs. From classes to ranks, it's been done before. E.g. Battlefield, TF1, various RPGs, etc.

Edit: But if they DID start anything, I would credit them for the killstreak. It was very revolutionary tbh, but still, it's the only thing I can really come up with.

But other than that, I totally agree with you. Everything they did was to improve gameplay, not to be gimmicky. I don't get why most Halo fans are afraid of Halo becoming like CoD when we all know that it's never going to happen. It may adopt some elements from other genres, but it will always be the Halo we know and love.
