Next Halo game sounds like a copy off of Gears of War to me

[Ickalanda]

Ok look you people are completely misunderstanding this and taking this to far in saying that I think Gears of War was the first 3rd person shooter or some crap like that.

All I am saying is that from what I heard about the next Halo game they are trying to be more like Gears of War and I am questioning whether or not this is a good direction for the Halo series.

I understand the fact that Gears of War was not the first game of it's type but it is a recent release on the XBox 360 and games like Gears of War and Gears of War 2 are direct competitors with Halo in a way.

It is the same as how in the first years of the 2nd millennium like 2001-2005 tons of World War II games were all coming out and it was pretty obvious that the different developers were all copying each other for a popular setting. Now it would be insanity to say that any of those World War II games were original seeing as there were World War II games in the 1980s and 1990s but they were copying each other off of the current time not to say that any of them were completely original.

Now please no more comments like this is the stupidest thing I have ever heard or anything like that acting like I am just saying they are copying gears because they said it was going to be darker and grittier. The main reason why it sounds like a copy to me is because they are making it 3rd person as in over the shoulder and they are making it darker and grittier and just about the soldiers out there fighting, Gears of War is a game that is over the shoulder and is very dark and gritty and just happens to have come out on the same platform as Halo and seen exceptional sales and now a sequel to it is coming out that will be competing with whatever the next Halo game is which is why it seems like to me that Bungie is trying to mimic the style of game that Gears is just as all the developers in the early 2000s were making a ridiculous amount of World War II games.
