Currently Halo is about who can whore the power weapons. I bet you complain about a "rocket whore" correct? Well how is what you are doing with the sniper rile any better?
In a class based system, everyone has a chance to fight back with balanced weapons. If the enemy has a sniper, boom, I can spawn with one and take him out, etc.
Not to mention, have you noticed that the team who can get the most power weapons in the first 30 seconds normally wins the game? I don't think its fair that 30 seconds should determine the next 11 minutes.
Exaggeration much? Halo isn't "all about whoring the power weapons", as you claim it to be. Controlling the power weapons is a vital tool to use when you want to win a match, but they don't guarantee a win, whatsoever. Other tactics are used to win a game, such as gaining key points of interest on a map to have an advantage over enemies (which will be in all FPS, this feature isn't limited to just class based games-for anybody who'll claim this), teammwork, attempting to control spawns, e.t.c.
Surely, there'll be cases where a team may control the power weapons and win the game, but power weapons were most likely not the sole reason why said team won. Even then, these kind of cases (when compared to the average game) is few and far in between.
I like CoD. However, I wouldn't want to see a class based Halo game (and no, I don't want to see the same exact thing, where people will take my post out of context). What attracted me to Halo: CE was the kind of gameplay that we have come to expect of the Halo games created by Bungie. I like this formula established in the Halo series, and I can never get tired of it. I will not rule out the possibility that Halo: Reach could be a class based shooter (or something I wouldn't prefer). I also like the uniqueness of Halo from other games present (examples include CoD, Team Fortress 2, Battlefield Bad Company, Battlefield 1943, e.t.c.), and a class based Halo game would feel like another class based game. At least in my opinion, some of that uniqueness gets taken away.
100% i like COD as well, but all class based games do feel alike a little too much, because so many are coming up now. Halo is unique and manages to pull it off pretty well.
