I like it.

I will be there to answer your questions! No matter how obvious or stupid they may be, don't be afraid to ask. It'll pay off in the long haul.

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.


while I disagree with you on COD being a bad game, your right it's not a class based game

and TEAM FORTRESS IS AMAZING, another example for class base would be Starwars battlefront 2

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.

Okay, maybe I went a little overboard on calling COD4 crap, but I don't like the 3 shot you're dead system.

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

I liked the COD campaign but the multiplayer got old and boring in no time for me, after playing Halo, nothing could compare. You can do so much more in Halo then in COD, Need I list the possibilities.

Its as if infinity ward and activision spent more time on the graphics than the gameplay.

Personally, I find CoDWaW more entertaining than Halo 3.

With Halo 3, there is nothing to keep me coming back and playing more. With CoD, I think "Oh, if I get 6 more kills with [enter weapon here], then I unlock [whatever]!" I get a feeling of accomplishment and satisfaction from CoD that I don't from Halo 3. (By the way, MG42+Double Tap=Ammunition Conservation Failure!)

I understand that you are interested in adding a new dimension to the gameplay, but the class system as you have suggested is a bit much. Halo has been known and loved for its unique gameplay experience, both in campaign and in multiplayer. I see no logical reason why they should take a gamble such as this now and risk ruining Halo. I don't think there is anything necessarily wrong with the Call of Duty series, but as many others have said, if that is the experience you want then play Call of Duty.

It's too much too late. I don't think that many of the people on these forums truly understand the amount of work that goes into the simplest tasks when creating a game. No offense, but you speak as if these changes are something that could be done overnight.

Personally I love Halo for what it is, and I am against changing the current system to a class based system. Sure, I would love to see dozens of unlockable features like armor permutations and etcetera, but I do not agree that it warrants a shift into a Call of Duty style game.

The Oblivious Murderer

If I wanted to play Call of Duty I would play Call of Duty. The reason why I play Halo is because I like the way the game play is set up

  • 11.02.2009 9:12 PM PDT

Could work well but it probaly won't happen in Reach.

halo reach i think should be classic cyborg shenanigans

but I would like to see CoD elements in a game where you play as a marine.

I agree I like having my own custom weapons but I like Halo too

  • 11.02.2009 9:23 PM PDT

I'd like to be half-man half-tree in an octopus' garden in the shade.

No. I like Halo for its simplicity.

That is not simple.

I'd like to see moderate changes from Halo 3's multiplayer, but nothing as radical as that.

Nihilism (from the Latin nihil, nothing) is a philosophical position that argues that existence is without objective meaning, purpose, or intrinsic value.

Put simply in the words of Nietzsche as "the will to nothingness".

lay off the crack pipe, methinks.

Your opinion is completely fine, no one is wrong here. I prefer Halo and you prefer COD. I can't argue against your personal preferance as you cannot against mine. If I say I enjoy Halo moreso than COD nothing you can say can change that as it would be with if I argued over your preference to COD over Halo. Anyway >> Happy gaming!! =D

I can also say for one that I used to play Halo 3 avidly, but found it dull after a while.

CoD attracted me then.

What are we supposed to be discussing here?


"Nothing in the 'Verse can stop me."

I could only dream....Also a MAC Blast could replace/be a higher killstreak.

Well, I'm talking something like in Halo Wars, maybe a Shortsword strike? Archer Missile Strike? I could go on ^_^

  • 11.02.2009 10:07 PM PDT

I personally dont like the whole killing abilties for the leader thing.
It makes people camp to win.

Btw - polls on bungie.net mean absolutely nothing, so please don't use them to try and prove some kind of point.

~Achronos

instead of an orbital strike, it should be a mac cannon strike. or both since some levels wont necessarily be in places where mac cannons are available.

Ugh...

First on a BWU.. yeah, I'm cool.

Not for Reach, in the Halo games by 343 Industries after Reach this would be cool

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.
