When you say "branch out" you really mean 'be more like COD'. Maybe OP needs to branch out and play COD, instead of wishing Halo would turn exactly like it.
If bungie makes a game really close to COD (which it seems like they're doing), and they can't make it better than modern warefare 2, the kids who left for COD will stay there, and the REAL halo fans, who have been playing since CE, and allowed this game to make it to what it is today, will probably hate the game.
IMO taking out everything that makes halo different from other games would be the end of halo. I am a huge halo person, but I'm completely ready to jump on the COD train if bungie keeps going this direction.ARE YOU SERIOUS? I MEAN, SERIOUSLY SERIOUS?
If adding classes would make this game identical to COD, then NOT having classes already has made Halo identical to Quake. And in that case, THERE IS NO "HALO," so changing something wouldn't matter because its already a clone of the games which came before it.
While the guy is an idiot I have to disagree with you. By his uneducated standards Halo is still not a Quake clone. At the time of Halo: CE's release did Quake have melee, vehicles, grenades? I'm pretty sure it didn't and those are huge gameplay factors that completely change the game. Halo just borrowed the concept and added much to it.
A class based Halo on the other hand would feel like a Batlefield clone because it uses the same gameplay concept and the same gameplay elements. Vehicles, melee, grenades, equipment, classes that follow the same set up, etc. There is nothing new Bungie could add to the class based gameplay experience other than a Halo feel and Halo gametypes. Everything has been done.Shields, Equipment, Forge, Orbital Strikes, On-the-fly Melee, Crouch jumping, Crouch saves, CTF, Oddball, Assault, etc.
Halo would not at all be a Battlefield clone. The same gameplay core would exist for the two, like the same gameplay core exists for Halo and Quake, but the games would play absolutely nothing alike when it comes to melees, vehicles, speeds, health, weapon types, shielding, etc. It would not be a BF clone, it would be Halo on a larger scale with Spartans which act as they did in the novels.
