Actually, COD takes more skill.
CoD is on par with SWAT. A game of who sees who first.

You should play BF3 instead, far more fun with friends.

What house has a rocket pod, has legs, and has a long narrow barrel that probably shoots something powerful?

Sounds like you're describing the lower half of my body, actually.

Why would you switch from an inferior game to a even more inferior game? It is like swimming in a pool of piss then deciding to swim in a pool of piss and -blam!-. People should be switching to BF3 not CoD.

Halo 3 was bad.


Bad? No. It wasn't good, but it wasn't bad either. "Bad" would imply it's Halo 2, and "good" would imply it's Halo 1.


I lol'd. Must be trolling...

Unless you have intelligence and you can play a tactical game and use your reflexes to never die.

Ohai, I'm Loscocco (pronounced Loss-cocoa). I'm a college student (computer science major), 3D animator, and long-time Halo player.

CoD is just a simple game to pick up so it appeals to anyone that lacks even a slight set of coordinated thumbs. It is easy to love a game that calls you good every two seconds if you're convinced that the definition of "good" that the game has actually holds any meaning.

No. Halo 3 was good, stop being a biased Halo 1 kid.

im probably gonna start playing cod until Halo 4 because, reach is not the worst but it does suck and 343i cant do anything to fix it. i use to defend reach but now i dont give a -blam!-. cod has a bigger variety of guns, challenges and it does take more skill then reach. Halo 3 took a lot more skill then reach because:zero bloom, BR, and no FF AFKers. And sometimes it is more fun, halo reach to me is more for custom games and forge.



if i missed anything or u want to add then post.




I can see why they're leaving for CoD as well.

When your ability with your thumbs maxes out at chucking nades and charging with your AR, spraying and melee'ing people are better off playing CoD. Halo definitely ain't for them.

I wouldn't go that far.

It takes some skill to put one in a player's head, especially from a distance while they're moving.

CoD is a joke. Aim, and spray. And lulz at all the campers.

This is where you are wrong. Reach doesn't take as much skill as it's predecessors but it still takes more skill than any CoD.


Reach takes quite a bit of skill actually, some of it may be noobish skill but none the less skill. It takes skill from a different perspective of the Halo universe, Its a much different game than Halo 3 or 2. Oh yeah and im just wondering who ever said people were going to cod anyway?


You can't put Reach and Skill in the same sentence.

lolno I have yet to see someone good at cod and halo say halo takes more skill. Reason being every person with a 2.0 + on reach can barely keep a 1.0 in cod.

I've seen people good at CoD go 3-20 in Halo Swat, and fail to register a kill in 3 straight games of Squad.

I don't even know how it's up for debate. The average kid laying around or in a corner playing CoD, spraying guns at anything that moves, ain't going anywhere near positive in Halo. Especially DMR starts.

I don't see the proof so I call bull-blam!- on your little argument. Same goes for the other people.

It isn't our shiznit anymore.

Definitely a skillful game right here.

Immortality: A toy which people cry for, And on their knees apply for, Dispute, contend and lie for, And if allowed Would be right proud Eternally to die for.

Call of duty requires no skill what-so-ever.

HA! you must be the worst player ever if you think it takes more skill to shoot a SINGLE bullet into an enemy (when you don't even have to hit their body to get a kill) (lol headshot in the foot is possible), rather than getting AT LEAST 4-5 headshots with the DMR.

This is the stupidest post i have ever seen if you are being serious. Well, i'd rather have a bad player go to CoD than crowd up reach's multiplayer and get on my team.

Farewell.

yup. my bro and his buds do this. spawn, chuck grenades, mini-tanks and -blam!-. lulz

same kids spraying ARs and picking Countdown every time in the lobby.

  • 01.21.2012 3:16 PM PDT

chances are I don't care who you are or what you say.

I cant, CoD is even worse than reach

  • 01.21.2012 3:43 PM PDT

Oh lawdy OP, all you do in CoD is run around and spam the trigger, no skill involved.

Is his a report thread?

Becaus clearly no CoD game after CoD 4 will never take more skill then any Halo game.

COD takes more skill? I guess you consider laying down in a corner and shooting someone in the legs twice more skillful than having to 5 shot someone? Bad forum topic. This is a Halo Forum my good man. Some people suck at Halo. You're obviously one of them. Good day!

zero bloom, BR, and no FF AFKer


No visual bloom, but on most weapons, namely, your precious BR, had spread, which gave the same result. Less accuracy.


Speaking of BR, it was a non hitscan, three shot burst gun with spread on mediocre netcode. That...that's just a disaster. I'm sorry.


And of course there were no FF AFKErs.


Assume Netcode is good:

IMO: Bullet travel> Hitscan.
Prevents cross mapping so easily. That's why Blood Gultch worked in Halo 1. Also, reason why Reach is horrible with zero bloom is because it's hitscan.

So for balanced gameplay:

1. Hitscan and bloom

2. Bullet travel and no bloom/ spread/ little bloom.

I prefer option number 2 because it's not as random and you have to lead your shots.
