I WARNED YOU ABOUT STAIRS BRO!!!

I TOLD YOU DOG!

I TOLD YOU MAN

I TOLD YOU ABOUT STAIRS

I agree. While I think non-custom balanced classes (think Battlefront or Team Fortress) in some playlists would be interesting, custom classes, perks, and the like would be going to far.

Some can come away from reading "War and Peace" thinking it a simple adventure story, while others can read the ingredients on a gum wrapper and unlock the secrets of the universe.

There should not be any Classes, Perks, Armor Advantages, EXP Ranking system, or Squads. I understand you guys want Halo: Reach to be different, but turning it into COD is not helping anything. Nothing is wrong with Halo 3 besides the Tru-Skill system which promotes cheating and boosting. But gameplay wise Halo 3 is fine and STILL has the most players.

Adding common first person shooter features does not make Halo CoD.

Now for people like you: Stop assuming COD invented everything not-Halo.

All the things you said were made before COD. Were not making Halo into COD, we want to add features to the game.

You said it there. We don't WANT Halo to be the common first-person shooter. We want it to be a unique and amazing game in it's own way, not in a way that most other FPSs use. I understand that it can be an amazing game regardless, but it wouldn't be the same.

  • 09.04.2009 8:11 PM PDT

I agree with you OP. Halo is about people starting as equils. Halo is about dropping and picking up weapons. Halo is about balance.

Halo isn't about classes (Everyone will be heavies because of rockets). Halo isn't about perks.

Anyways, classes would ruin not only MM, but will also ruin Custom Games.

Call of Duty invented; EXP Ranking, Perks, Custom Guns, and Powers (Airstrike, etc)
Battlfield/Team Fortress invented the classes.

I'm sorry, I was wrong about the classes. I apologize for insulting you, I'll remove that ASAP!

Soccom has customizable guns before, we never asked for EXP ranking systems, and perks was invented by COD recently, so it existed before. And powers existed before... Obviously.

Really, multiplayer killstreak powers existed before COD? I didn't know that.

Amazing, COD has an original idea! Too bad nobody asked for such powers!

Some features are just plain fun or cool. Just because CoD figured that out doesn't mean we can't put it in Halo. And I'm not saying I want the features changed. I love it the way it is. I'm just saying CoD didn't invent everything non halo.

I don't mean to be Jeffrey Jackass, but if Bungie IS implementing classes into Reach, I would sure as hell assume that all the classes would designed with balance in mind.

Completely agree with you! Perfect Halo's gameplay not change it. Halo > call of duty.

  • 09.04.2009 9:10 PM PDT

Don't eat soap.

Unfortunately, people are thinking it's call of duty because of the way that it's a prequel to Halo and so the shields are lower, thus making it more "realistic" like call of duty.

But generally, most people who are fans of Halo aren't too big on the whole "realism" factor. The game already takes place 500 years in the future and makes you fight aliens with plasma weapons and talking lightbulbs. You can't get more unrealistic then that.

When people say life is short, What the hell are you talking about?! Life's the longest dam thing will ever do! What, is their something longer your planing to do?!

Squads and Exp Ranking system were not invented by COD. Neither were perks in a sense.

  • 09.04.2009 9:25 PM PDT

Why do you guys equate everything to CoD?

"I think Halo: Reach needs a better ranking system"
"NOez CODZ!"

"I think Halo: Reach should have new weapons"
"NOez CODZ!"

I think Halo: Reach should have better sounding guns"
"NOez CODZ!"

"I wonder who Spartan 259 could be.."
"NOez CODZ!"

Grow up people.

Dude im equiped like a small rodent, what would you do?

Halo multiplayer is such a massive success I don't see much changing in the way or multiplayer. I do expect to see a completely revamped single player though since there was large complaint about that with Halo 3

  • 09.04.2009 9:33 PM PDT

Xbox Live Gamertag: RogueWolf I77V (Halo 2, Halo 3)
Xbox Connect Gamertag: RogueWolf_I77V (Halo, Halo 2)
Xfire Gamertag: roguewolfi77v (Halo PC)

I think I would stop playing ranked games if they had COD's "politically correct" everyone gets a ribbon ranking system.
I don't that everyone deserves participation points. The winners are the ones who should leave with the trophy, the losers should leave with a better luck next time.
