Subject: You're a hypocrite

If you talk about how awful CoD is but then continue to play and support Halo 4.

At least I know what to expect with CoD. I never have some unrealistic expectations about how they're going to make huge innovations. It is what is, and if you can expect that, it can be fun.

Halo on the other hand, was once the cornerstone of competitive gaming. 343i made innovations to Halo 4. Horrible ones. Ones that ruined the core of Halo's gameplay and made a once great game a mediocre title that no one will remember as anything special.

I love it when idiots insult CoD for not changing, when all Halo 4 really did was throw in components from other games that don't belong in Halo. 343's "innovations" are really nothing more than just taking gimmicks from other games and putting them in Halo. AAs? Just like Perks. Weapon unlocks? Yeah, that's real ground breaking. EXP ranking system? Amazing.

I understand that Halo CE, 2 and 3 took aspects from other games as well, but at least the core gameplay was still arena style, and competitive.

If we disagree, it's nothing personal, opinions are opinions.
Antagonizing me to build a false sense of worth is so damn cute.

Brighten your day with science.

Without The Flood, I wouldn't know what an opinion is.

*Doesn't like COD
*Didn't buy Halo 4

It's a good thing The Flood is a hive-mind.

"There's a very fine line between not listening, and not caring. I'd like to think that I walk that line every day."

This has pretty much already been said many times before, and it will change nothing, if not make more people hold animosity towards CoD and/or its fans, which is stupid and pointless in itself.

Sad truth.

I think people are bashing COD because a new game gets released every year with minor changes.

Never make me angry. I am a Hitman and I can easily find you and take you out.

No, I'm a Hitman.

How am I a hypocrite? Halo 4 has made changes. Even if they are taken from other games.

Besides I hate CoD for different reasons.

Guess what COD is practically the same thing every time and has no storyline value to me.I enjoy Halo more than I will ever Cod and that is all that matters to me.

Bad ones. Ones that don't follow the core of Halo gameplay, and reinforce the idea that it's now okay in the gaming industry for developers to just throw gimmicky crap into their games and not take feedback from the different groups of people who play and support the game.

That doesn't make me a hypocrite. I'd be a hypocrite if it was exactly the same as Reach.

And I agree with you about the changes. I just don't let it bother me. It's still a fun game. Even if I did get bored of it within a few weeks. I still like it in small doses.

This is copy/paste from another thread

"Halo's gameplay has always been a strafe-centric twitch shooter with a primary focus on guns, grenades and melee. Halo 4 retains those core priniciples and adds to it; nothing about perks, specializations or even AA dictate the outcome of a firefight or a game by extension like the ones in CoD do. It all ultimately comes back down to whoever outshot the other.

Saying that you wanted Halo 4 to build on the existing core principles but deny that's what Halo 4 did is a contradiction. You can't build on something without changing some part of it, but you also can't build directly on the foundation because that would be changing the core, which also wouldn't go over well with fans. Halo 4 simply added to the existing principles already set and branched from there.

No game can survive remaining the same. CoD, being the most popular, is the exception. It was necessary for Halo to survive, and was inevitable the day CoD beat out Halo."

Halo 4 plays nothing like CoD. If you think it does, you have a backwards interpretation on what it means to say what a game "plays like." It still plays like Halo, being a strsfe shooter, but it has elements from other games.

All that can be said to this ommunity is Halo isn't the top anymore, it had to change, games take from games all the time, grow up, get over it. You may not like the change, that's your opinion, but don't come on the internet and whine about it just because you didn't get your way.

I don't think I'll buy another video game until Steam releases for Linux, or maybe until the next Humble Bundle.

Interesting, but the funny thing about that post is Halo stopped being on top or at least within the top 3 when Reach came and changed a lot of the core aspects of the game. Now you can say Halo 4 and Reach branched off of Halo 3 and that is true, but it did it in an extremely poor and copycat manner that really shouldn't have been done in the first place.

OT: OP there will always be hypocrites out there you making this thread doesn't change anything. Also not everyone on here is like what you just said.
