1. Quitters. In Halo when a teammate quits or backs out you are majorly disadvantaged. In Call of Duty, that missing teammate is quickly replaced by a new player and fairness returns to the game. People are going to quit, whether it be from lag or otherwise, and Bungie should have accounted for it.

Easily solved, play with friends or use the party system. Also, lag happens and havign a drop=in/drop-out system would not work with Halo 3's ranking system at all.

2. Halo's maps are all designed to look good rather than designed for functionality. In Call of Duty, each map is designed around a specific weapon set, and the game flows much better because of it.
I'd actually say this work the other way around, as far as I can tell there aren't any symmetrical or arena styled maps in Call of Duty which promote teamwork, map control and communication.

3. Ranking system and experience. In Halo, you gain experience points by winning games, regardless of how well you do in the game. If I get 30 kills and 2 deaths and my team wins, I still get the same amount of experience as I would if I died 20 times and got 5 kills and my team still won. There is no individual reward system outside of FFA matches.
Halo is a game based more around teamwork and the final result, whereas Call of Duty focuses more on providing the player with instant gratification - XP from kills, killstreak rewards, custm classes, attachments, unlockable callsigns etc. They all show a desire to make a player feel good regardless of how they play and also attempt to make the game more addictive by the feeling of progression.

Just because something works for one game doesn't mean it would work for another.

4. No way to know how you died. In Halo, the only time you can figure out "WTF?" deaths is to visit the theater after the game. In COD, you get a live replay of how you were killed and by what weapon.

Personally I tihnk that Killcam just ruins a player's position on the map; if they keep killing youf rom an unkown occasion then I believe that as they have used the map better they deserve the advanatage, Theatre allows you to study these areas in depth whilst also not interrupting the flow of the game in the middle of a match.


There we go, those are my counter arguments to your points.


TY for being intelligent. there are way too many uneducated Halo fanboys replying in this post

Cod's maps are designed around certain weapon sets? Just because wasteland has grass on it and everyone camps with a sniper doesn't mean they're designed around weapon types.

I own. If it's rockets. Anything else, don't bother.

i now know what a troll is

  • 07.04.2010 8:14 PM PDT

wasup,ummmmmmmmm idfk what to put.

On the contrary I have played Mw2 and it has a noobish style in maps designed specially for camping.Also you say the maps are not made equally well they are almost all of the halo maps are reflections based upon themselves.I have seen none of that in cod at all as a matter of fact cod waw is the only one I can barely stand.I have seen the spawn killing in mw2 and it is ridiculous at least in halo you can not spawn kill unless you are modding in which of that case you dont see much of anyways,The only playlists I have seen spawn killing in halo is in griffball and that is a easy fix so quit your complaining and go back to playing your easy played no skill requiring fps you noob.

You should have just posted this in the MW2 forum. That way everybody who does like MW2 more than halo can go swallow your gravy and reach around.

This is MW2...OMG guys I have skill I can camp and get like 12 kills by just using weps the other team doesn't have. Oh and the ranking sytem is MW2 is garbage it just sucks I was a level 1 in a game with 10 prestigers once. Oh and prestige. So heres your new level 70 rank! Wanna restart? Oh and when you die: You died try again -blam!- -Infinity ward. Oh and You died by a grenade. As soon as the grenade symbol pops up your -blam!-. Overall Go back to the carnival of tents.

Your point is invalid.

Actually COD maps aren't that great either.. But at least the designers built them around weaponsets and not just to look good.

And yes Halo has Grifball and Living Dead which are actually fun, but outside of that...

What are you talking about? MW2 has some of the worst designed maps I have ever seen. They promote camping, the spawns are terrible, etc...

Halo has some very balanced maps: Heretic, The Pit, Standoff, Valhalla, Construct, Narrows, Citadel etc...

i hope your kidding about standoff its one of the worst maps ive seen in any game

Key word fair

COD is in now way "fair"

It rewards camping, you can spawn with whatever weapon you want. Shotguns are basically one shot kill. Game play is servery over balanced

Halo doesn't reward camping, because if you camp, the other team gets the new weapons and map control.

Bungie can't fix everything. In COD you don't get a new teammate back straight away.

People mostly quit because of bad teams, or like you said lag.

If you don't like how Halo plays, then way are you on these forums?

I would go on, but this is already getting longer than I wanted. Halo does have advantages, the biggest one is drivable vehicles. And of course Forge mode.


Halo is based more on teamwork, not individual performance. Work as a team or die.

This is not COD, you played good well done, you don't deserve extra exp or rank. You just a good player.

Kill cams. Waste game time and produce campers, and people coming back after when you kill them. Not fun game play

COD designs maps for specific weapons? It does? You mean camping with shotguns and heartbeat sensors. Oh yeah forgot about that.

Anyway H3 is like 3, 4 years old, Cod a couple of months, they had a lot more time to think of gameplay. You can't judge a 3 yr old game over a 6 month old game

GTFO

mongooses are the best. Remember that.

Do you like to forge? Want a place to share your maps? Want to join a friendly forging group? Plasmic Forgers

I believe I'm going to have to ask you to leave.

Game play is servery over balanced

Wut. "overbalanced?" well if all the gameplay is "overbalanced", then isn't it technically balanced?

Can you read.
The game play promotes camping.
You can spawn with a rocket launcher

I not saying COD multiplayer sucks, i am just making a point that some things in it are OP, and spawning with whatever gun you want just doesn't work. Especially RPG's

But thats how COD plays and that fine

Yes, can you type in English? probably not.

I was making fun of you for being stupid, and now you're proving my point.


lol your mocking yourself.
You can't type, that is your writing. I quote failed.
GTFO
I didn't come on these forums to have a fight, so if can't have a decent no-trashing conversation, then you should just leave.

Holy -blam!- you're stupid.

You don't write on a computer, you type on a computer.

Do your parents know that you're using the internet? always ask before going online.


Lol, your so pathetic

Write, Type. While being on a computer
To me it doesn't matter. Same diff

Technically it is writing, because it is in the form of English "writing" I don't care if it is on a computer and to you it is called typing. This is a blog forum. Not an English essay.

Like i said if you can't be mature enough to have a proper conversation, then just leave. Your trying to make me feel like a kid. When your acting like one yourself.
