Subject: "Call of Duty: Halo" - Not Such A Bad Idea

How to spell "space"?

S-P-ACE! SPACE!

I have seen a lot of hate toward the idea of Reach being class-based. If a new Halo game was known to be class-based in the way CoD is, where you can create a class, it would make for a fairly fun game.

EDIT: I am not supporting Reach to be so; this is merely how a CoD/Halo hybrid would work.

Here is my breakdown of each weapon slot/idea.

Perk Weaponry
M19 SSM
- Allows for the carrying of one rocket launcher (no extra tubes)

M7057

Sonic
Napalm (might belong in primary grenades)

Killstreaks
3 kills - Satellite linkup (Same as UAV)
5 kills - Orbital Strike (Same as airstrike)
7 kills - Hornet Support (Same as chopper)
9 kills - Heavy Pelican Support (Same as chopper)
11 kills - Vulture Gunship (Same as AC-130)


This list was simply inspired by all the class-hating threads. I personally do not support Halo Reach being class-based, but would find another Halo game that would be to be fine

Edit: Don't just flame, actually consider how the gameplay would flow. ONLY POST INTELLIGENTLY.

Dude seriously, what makes Halo so great is its differences between the call of duty franchise and itself. You might recall Halo becoming the great franchise that it is by doing things differently, so we should encourage "something so new it comes with instructions", not fall back on games that are only CURRENTLY popular and will mostly fade away if not revised.

  • 11.02.2009 3:06 PM PDT

Um no. Go play COD if you want that kind of play.

Here's my argument:
Why would Bungie choose their last game to implement a class based system? Why would they undo everything they had done in the previous 3 games (the ones with multiplayer) just so they could try something completely new? That is just stupidity. If they want to try a class based system, they will wait for their next game. That way it will be a completely new game with completely new gameplay.
In conclusion, CLASS BASE GAMEPLAY WILL NOT WORK IN HALO.

Wherever you roam
so far from home
you'll be safe from peril
life threatening and terrible
if you avoid David Powel
and keep track of your towel.

You can't just make a giant list and use this as proof.

You know, people never seem to realize that we want to play two games, not the same game over and over with a different skin.

You understood the thread! Most people didn't realize that this is how a class system would work for Halo, and were in hater mode.

A real test of a man is if he is willing to scrape a sharpened razor up and down his junk just to please a woman.

Call of Crappy isn't a true class based game, and I'm sick of seeing Team Fortress 2 even be in the same catagory as COC4.

It's suggestions like this that make class based games sound bad even though COC4 isn't even class based.

  • 11.02.2009 4:32 PM PDT

no.. never.. maybe in some weird new game but not reach. i would not buy it if they did.

get out.

You have a nail that needs to be pounded into a board. All you have is a saw. That saw has done a wonderful job cutting wood in the past, so why not use it to pound in the nail?

Once you finish pounding in the nail, you find that now your saw bent all crazy like. You got the job done, but it was a very painful process. It would have been a much better investment of your time and money to buy a hammer to pound that nail in.

In other words, Halo can be turned into a call of duty like game, perhaps, but it is much easier and less painful to create a new intellectual property to accomplish that job. Not to mention that Bungie has no reason to compete with Call of Duty for it's niche at the moment when Halo is doing just fine.

  • 11.02.2009 5:17 PM PDT

Yes, exactly what I want, To buy MW2 and then next year buy a game just like MW2...

There is a reson I own multiple halo games, Inculding 2 halo 1 and 2 halo 2 disks, And only 1 cod 4 disk and 1 Cod 5 disk...

Looking to hook up with some competent players! Please PM me if you want a decent team mate, looking to learn from good players and impart what I know to the team too. Im sick of going 'randy' and getting betrayed for the sniper etc.. and having to put up with BK team mates

No way! I would hate it if Halo sold out to a COD concept. If you like COD go play COD. This is Halo country.
