Subject: Call of Reach Modern Spartan 4

You, as a player, have the ability to customise all aspects of your Spartan warrior and not just cosmetically. For the first time in a Halo title, you can actually change gameplay impacting components. This allows you to customise load outs and gives you gameplay enhancements that can be unlocked through the progression system."

This sounds a lot like Call of Duty. The changing of "game play-impacting components" is basically perks. The customization of "load outs" is basically custom classes. Unlocking "through the progression system" is basically weapon proficiency and perk/weapon unlocks through experience.

Seriously 343? It's obvious that you guys have sold out to Call of Duty and have tried to make your game exactly like it so that Call of Duty fans would like it. The reason gamers play Halo over Call of Duty is because of preferred playing styles. Halo had an aspect to its game play that, in my opinion, made it one of the greatest FPS (combined with the compelling story line). Load outs allow players to start a game with an unfair advantage. It is even seen in Call of Duty: Reach.

A player with a jet pack can fly over to the rockets/sniper and fly over to a camping spot. Halo has always been a game where the two teams are even at the start and skill determines who won the game. The winner of a game in Reach was the team with the most players that were willing to lose their dignity and respect by using a jet pack or armor lock.

Everyone ranted about the bloom which ruined the game also. The only reason why bloom works in Call of Duty (The actual COD) is because the player can aim down the sights of the weapon which gives them the choice of quick, inaccurate shots or slower, precision shots. In Halo, not every weapon has sights which is why it doesn't work. So my question is, why would you not take out load outs and 'perks' from Halo 4. Those aspects ruined Reach and are about to ruin Halo 4.

It's funny that this topic even comes up in conversations relating to Halo 4. The fact in itself that this topic comes up is the reason why this game is going to be bad. Halo 3 had no such talk which is why it was an amazing game.

You want a sandwich? Sure. As long as you don't mind me putting poison in it.

Yeah. I use the AR, so what? All you can do is scream and rage about me using the weapon.

So ... What has this got to do with Reach exactly?

Why don't you ask that to the poster's of the ten other Halo 4 topics.

So because they created Halo 4 topics in the Halo: Reach forum ( and ultimately got locked ) you feel compelled to do the same?

Shoryuken!

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

Yep, I saw this coming.

MW3 took things from Halo, now Halo is taking things from CoD. /applaud

Reach is total garbage. I'm proud it failed and died. Hope this message gets to 343 and they make a proper game.

Quit competitive Halo, I have acquired something called "having a life". Play it time to time as of now. Some people should also try this thing called "having a life".

read the latest bulletin from 343. it should clear your head. Frankie said theres NO PERKS or any other call of duty garbage

  • 03.08.2012 6:30 AM PDT

I'm not racist, I own a colored TV

Reach tried to step to new ground, and pull COD players away before MW2 or Black Ops which ever came out and it failed. I hope 343 isn't going to do anything stupid and ruin the Halo name.

Who are you? stop look at me.

I sincerely hope there won't be any of this unlockable perks rubbish in H4. If you're going to unlock anything as you rank up in a Halo game, it should be PURELY AESTHETIC.

Actually, he merely said that they aren't "perks" and that someone else coined that name for them. And that they would tell us more information later on the subject.

He never said anything implying that this new system will not function similar to perks, only that it wouldn't mirror any other system that we are familiar with.

They meant AA's I believe and they said in the bulletin that the didn't know how they were going to do it. They said they might do it like a classic CE fighting over the overshield and camo, or halo 3's equipment, or reach's AA. They even mentioned there will be some classic playlists so we might see a little of everything, but perks were never mentioned. They did say that armor was mostly aesthetic, but some might affect gameplay, but things are still experimental right now.

Breaking barriers.

It was a rather underwhelming introduction to the future of Halo:Reach 2.

"What's up baby, how are you doin'? I hate the sound of my own voice and I been invited here to distract my self from the fact that I wrote all of this garbage."

I'm sure 343 will love to hear your views on Halo 4 that you have posted in the Reach forum on Bungie's site.

Also, remember kids: if it's not an HD map pack for Halo 3, then it's Call of Duty.
