Subject: This is not CoD

Like the title says Halo Reach is not CoD Reach. That means no air support, no sprinting, no aiming down the scope, no getting weapons before u respawn, none of that stuff. Halo is unique because u cant do that stuff. if u want all that in a game then play CoD and stop playing halo. if those things were put into reach it would take away from the halo experience, halo would no longer be original they would just be trying to copy CoD. As far as i know halo was the first game that only let u carry 2 guns at a time, and the first online fps with a ranking system. these are now in all most all fps, they are also things that CoD and Gears copied. ODST all ready copied gears of wars 'hord' mode with the 'fire fight' mode so hopefully they wont copy all the things that make CoD a unique game. i hope that halo does not put any of the CoD type things in reach and stick with what made them a great game in the first place. once again this is not CoD!

Couldn't agree with you more! I'm so sick of people who asks for things like that!

Completly agreed, I'm getting tired of seeing these, and I've only been in the Reach forums for a day. If they want it to be like Cod, then play Cod, but this is Halo, it's the game we all love, and the reason why we're all here right now.

Your right that its not CoD, but that doesnt mean it has to be like every other halo game.

For real, I don't know what has gotten into people.

Here’s what Luke had to say about the differences in treatment between the Spartans and Elites in Reach:

“Instead of piece-by-piece customization like the Spartans, Elite customization is a full model swap with models selected from the various Elite classes appearing throughout the Campaign. There are all kinds of reasons for this, not the least of which is our continued emphasis on the Spartan as your identity in Reach.”

'k.

Thats what I thought.

Other than the hyperbolic terminology (every), COD does seem more complicated and nitpicky.

Your right that its not CoD, but that doesnt mean it has to be like every other halo game.

i dont think it has to be exactly like every other halo game, just similar enough that it does not loss the halo feel. every halo game has changed a little, i dont expect this one to not. all im saying is i dont want halo CoD i want halo reach.

  • 08.22.2009 3:03 PM PDT

-blam!- Was that actually blammed out? Or did I just type it? You'll never know.

Yes, but that doesn't mean new features can't be added. You just don't want these new features in because they've been done in CoD. God forbid Halo should have something new and interesting added to it's gameplay. I really dislike the Halo fanboys who go berserk as soon as anything like this comes up.

See you at the Aftermath!

i agree. halo should not copy CoD. i wouldn't mind an air strike once in a while, but only in the campaign.

Agreed but wouldn't it be possible to at least improve the graphics somewhat? Perhaps some more urban maps? Perhaps better use of vehicles?

Or perhaps not a freaking crop on the sides of two-player split screen.

What would be so bad about air strikes?

  • 08.22.2009 3:18 PM PDT

Corn, Oil, and Wine... We need more wine...

Halo isn't original in any way, it just took all of the good elements from previous first person shooters and bundled them into one, and simplified the controls, amongst adding some new features to it, to make it feel unique.

the only new thing i would like to see is aming down the sight tht would be sweet and help alot of people out. Also they didn't "copy" off of GoW's Horde mode because it is completely different.
1 they don't go by 10 waves and everything enhances.
it goes by certain skulls activating and well its completely different if you think about it.

I am a penguin. Every day I boogie on down to the water, and eat fish. Once, while fishing in the deepest depths, I saw great Cthulhu... And he said to me "Shine, to thine own self be true. They can't tell you what to do once you've gone guru." Also, I should tell you, "slide".

If you want Halo Reach to play exactly like the previous games, go play Halo 3.


Each Halo game adds something unique that doesn't upset the Halo style. Halo doesn't have the extravagant features of other games, because Halo gameplay is the boiled down sweet syrup without the nasty nuggets or fancy unuseful things. But Halo multiplayer has a set pace and balance to it that works well... So well, the people have been buying into the Halo experience since 2001.

Aka, those fancy things from CoD, like air strikes, class systems, or perks, don't work in Halo. If you like that stuff, go buy CoD, and pretend it looks like Halo... In your minds eye.

A fixed redicle that shows where bullets are going to go will help more people than iron sights ever did.

Firefigh, aka Halo's horde can be found in Marathon: Durandal called "Survivor Mode" before Gears 2 came out.

Why not? Videogames borrow from other videogames all the time. I don't know if you're like this, but most people don't want things like this in the game simply because they're proud Halo players and anything even slightly CoD related would tarnish the series.

I think it'd be great if they took a little something from CoD. Even if it's the aiming system. I like the hold Left Trigger to look down sights control. I think it adds something to the game. Is that really that bad?
