Subject: Halo is not Call of Duty.

My safe-word is apples

I actually like the idea of having a playlist with some form of preset class, or a system like Quantum of Solace had, where all players had access to every gun from the start, all they had to do was earn points to unlock them for their custom class. If there was a feature like that, but reserved for one or two playlists instead of the entire game, I'd have no problem with it. I could actually see the use of some kind of power, say a vehicle like a pelican arriving and dropping extra weapons or vehicles onto the map at a point chosen by a player, however I don't want to see Halo become too similar to CoD. I like that Halo has remained unique thus far.

some people want it to be a little more realistic.

Are you retarded?
Halo is set 500 years in the future, with an alien race threating to wipe out humanity. Make it more realistic?If you want it to be more realistic, go play CoD itself.

Who said Halo was Call of Duty? Learn the facts before you start saying things like this OP.
There arent any facts at the minute though. He just assumes that Reach might be a Halo remake of CoD. I severely doubt it is.

I hunt for the Prophet of Contentment, the San 'Shyumm that murdered my son, and stole his birthright, his Energy Sword. They call our species Heretics. They claim to all that our tongues sting, our words a vile poison that feeds on the unworthy. I have seen the true face of Heresy. The head of a gallant warrior lay on the ground. His neck scorched and blistered, scarred by his own blade. I shall retrieve the weapon, and drive it through that bastard's heart! Punishment for his sins is nigh.

Classes will be fine so long as you CANT EDIT THEM. The ability to create your own class is retarded. Other than that, Classes are, like I said, fine.

I'm 23, I have a house, dog, girlfriend, job and I have no interest in any fanboyism so if you're thinking about sending me a childish PM, don't be surprised when I don't call back.

COD isn't realistic either so don't go there, just because the weapons and locations actually exist does not mean the game is tailored to realism.

Neiter of them are realistic they are both video games so don't let your fanboyism cloud judgement. I love both games i think together they are two of the best games ever made but the fact is they cater to different audiences. Halo tailors for the hardcore players, You need a good aim and good map knowledge to go with power weapon control in order to win and if you lose you go down.

In COD4 there is no matchmaking based on skill you just search for games, You get points for everything you do including a loss so there is no test of skill it's all just time played rather than amount of wins. COD4 is a game for casual players.

You can's name the class system as "COD" however because it pops up in every game and has done since before COD was even thought of, Also if you wanna nit pick Halo is just an updated version of quake?

nobody here should want Halo to change into an entirely different game! you want CoD? Play CoD!!! you want Team Fortress? (whatever that is) Play it!!!!

You want Halo??
Well done! you found your way to the right place!!

  • 09.05.2009 4:13 AM PDT

Just enjoy the damn game!
Who cares about BR vs AR

The thing about Halo is that all players start the same, and it is all down to the players skill as to who wins. If you put in classes, you could play against MLG players, but if you luckily pick the right counters in class, you could win, even though they have the skill advantage.

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.

I agree, in sports only the winning team gets the prize. It makes things more intense and competitive.

Don't you dare even try it to be honest.

Screw all these ideas about classes, Maps have weapon placements on Halo for a reason

What fun is nearly everybody fighting over the rocket launcher if it's not there

What fun is it that you would be able to play halo and experience a sniper infested map from start such as CoD 4's overgrown

What fun would it be charging for valhallas laser when it's not there

NONE

Most of us people like halo for what it is, what it has been and what it always will be Classes would just be ruining it!

I Agree 99.999999% but the only thing i do wish is that we dont only get 1 exp per win, i think we should get maybe the amount of exp as u got kills or half the exp as u did get kills. Not a lot of exp like in CoD.

There should not be any Classes (EDIT: Sorry, somebody made me point out that COD did not invent 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.

Discuss,
Lucky
Halo should not be CoD I agree, but things have to change from Halo 3. I know myself and a lot of other player are quite tired of playing the same game since 2001. Halo Reach will need a lot more new gameplay mechanics for me to enjoy the game.

It's not Call of Duty. It's Quake. Either way your logic fails.

I like Halo the way it is. (I wouldn't consider myself a fanboy) because I like Gears, and CoD. I pre ordered Cod 6 and I love the series. But I also love Halo because It's different than everything else. There are no classes which makes it different. "Be an Icon, not an immitation." (From the Scion Commercial =P)

Exactly. Halo is best at being Halo, and CoD is best at being a fish.

I agree. I'm getting tired at all the kidz who wants classes, perks, a helicopter that shows up when you get a kill-streak, and so on.

I agree, I hate getting spawn killed by choppers and airstrikes in CoD. If Halo had perks, we'd be seeing millions of juggernoobs like CoD 4 and 5.

Vancouver BC, Canada.

If Halo had classes, I think it would seem so different from what we're used to, it wouldn't play like a Halo game.

Halo is NOT COD. It's actually the Empires mod for Half-Life 2.

Really! It's on Wikipedia and everything!
