Subject: Why can't halo be more like call of duty

Halo 2 > Halo 3 > Halo 3 ODST > Halo Reach > Halo CE

Based on campaigns.

OP i kind of agree. I was thinking the other day maybe an unbalanced, casual playlist could be introduced and its just for people to have fun. For example, choose your starting and secondry weapon, join mid game, that sirt of stuff

Also the AR is actually good in CQB now and no longer a glorified baseball bat.

After reading the OP I had two thoughts:

OP must have never played an online game before the Xbox 360 released.

OP must not know the meaning of the phrase "playing for fun."

Not really, comprehensive reading would reveal that I was explaining to the OP what "epitome" means.

Better luck next time.

Or it could match people based on skill so you never had to face people so much better or worse than you all the time.
Maybe, but that's something that's not easily done. Whenever I play call of duty, it's easy and fun. When it gets too hard or too boring, I can leave, find a new game, and have more fun. This also means less waiting around to find a match and over more enjoyment. Where halo is a constant search for a balanced match and if I find one, the second someone does quit, the game becomes dumb for the team who had the quiter or quitters.

If halo had a cod matchmaking system, and then a ranked set of playlists for the players who would prefer a more stats-based play style, it'd be awesome. Because then You'd have choices. It's funny, the second I say Halo should be more like Cod people freak out. There's things halo could take from Cod that could benefit the game. And something along these lines would make it more enjoyable. Playing halo to me is a chore. I just want to play the game

Now don't get confused with action sack. Action sack is horrible. I'm mainly talking about an improved matchmaking system to make the game more enjoyable, and less a chore.

rip my pictures from your wall, tear them down and burn them all. light the fire and walk away, theres nothing left to say. take the ashes from the floor. bury them to just make sure, that nothing else is left of me... just bittersweet memories

Here let me edit this to make you not look foolish

Halo, let's face it, just rules. Yea, you will find it fun. I'm sure if you play with some buddies, or play some custom games it will be fun.

Halo i try it after not having played it for a while. I realized why I just enjoy playing it even more. It was awesome.

Shoryuken!

Mythic Mode Progress on Reach:
Winter Contingency, perfection.
Other levels in progress.

Hmmm....

It seems MW3 is trying to copy lolReach.

This also means less waiting around.

I think it actually takes twice as long to start a match in CoD then Halo due to people leaving always when a match is being set up.

Hey, uh, if you like vs threads, then check out this little group right here, if you have the time. It's pretty fun, just hop right in.

Because Halo is actually fun and entertaining.

That's why it isn't like CoD...which isn't fun nor entertaining.

I agree with you on the Halo matchmaking it is slow but Halo has always involved a high level of skill u can not just start playing it and expect to be good. But if a Halo player goes onto CoD we absolutely own as i found out myself. You said something about pistols being overpowered... CoD is pretty much one shot dead so why are you complaining about that!

  • 01.28.2012 7:47 AM PDT

Go back to CoD, no one wants your kind here.

  • 01.28.2012 8:00 AM PDT

I want my elephant back.
Give it to me now!
(Please?)

Me.

It seems OP:
Has Never Played Action Sack

Is Trolling

Thinks Opinion Is Fact

A very common theme I figure is rampant throughout the COD fanbase.

"I hate halo because I did poorly".

There are enough CoD like games.

  • 01.28.2012 8:25 AM PDT

Call me Stu

Wow many of you are missing what the op is trying to say. HALO MATCHMAKING SYSTEM IS -blam!-! there carn't say it anymore plain then that.

Compare its matchmaking system any other game IT CRAP! A simple quiter can RUIN A WHOLE MATCH whilst in many other popular games it can just be simply REPLACED.

Just because cod has it doesn't mean we have to completely forget it.Its not a bloody revolutionary idea. Its the simplest idea to fix the bloody QUITTING PROBLEM.
