Anyway, back to what I was saying, I prefer the gameplay of Call of Duty compared to Halo, I'm not saying Halo is bad (I've got Halo 4 preordered, lol), but it feels too... outdated, compared to the shooter standards of today, and think it could do with a make over of some kind... obviously something like the gameplay of Killzone wouldn't suit it (Often compared as the "Halo of PS3", but they're way different if you ask me), but since both Halo and Call of Duty are arcade shooters in a sense, when it comes to multiplayer, I think Halo should... what's the word... "borrow" some mechanics from Call of Duty, I'm not sure what exactly, but when playing any Halo game, atleast in recent times (Halo remake and Halo Reach), I just feel like the gameplay has jumped and caught itself on the fence, not quite nailing it, y'know? Again, maybe it's just me, and people are free to disagree with me, but I don't see why someone with a different opinion to the majority should be hated on and such... even if their explanations as to why they dislike the game aren't quite as fleshed out as they could be, and come off a little negative... |
There are several reasons Cod gets the negative light because it truely looks and plays exactly the same the last 3 games in a row. I watched my friend play MW3 a couple months back and I honestly couldnt even tell the difference between that and MW2. Just a small test: Play MW2 then play MW3. After, go play Halo 3 and then play Halo 4. Then tell me which one has changed the most between each game.
Halo 4 has brought some new mechanics to the table from more modern fps like, default sprinting, killcams, progressive ranking(along with true skill ranking), customizable loadouts, and killstreak(but not broken). I think 343 has done an amazing job at keeping the core gameplay the same to satisfy the hardcore fans along with adding new mechanics and finding a way to balance those two things together to somehow please everyone. I'm not sure how many developers could do the same thing without going too much one way or another and be successful.
