I think you misunderstood what I was saying. I'm talking about a scenario where two players walk around a corner, in the open. The only defense is to lay down, but if you push that button, the other player has pulled the trigger. It's basically, shoot first, or die. You can't evade, you can't take more than a clip, you're just...dead.

In Halo, when that same scenario happens, alot of things come into play because there are different players who play differently. Some players will jump, and shoot. Some will jump OVER you, turn, and shoot. Some will toss a grenade, jump BACKWARDS, aim and shoot at you a second after the grenade drops your shield. Some people will shoot while charging and then time a blunt attack at the last second. Some will evade, go around the corner, toss a grenade into the path of the oncoming player and THEN blunt....it goes on and on and on.

THIS is what I'm talking about. You're never screwed in Halo if you're smart enough. You never feel like you were cheated because you always have the ability to compensate for having an unlucky situation thrust upon you.

How is getting shot by someone more prepared than you an unlucky situation thrust upon you? If I see someone running up to where I am and he doesn't caution himself well enough then I'm not gonna feel sorry for him. Its not luck. No such thing as luck.

You can lay down and shoot at the same time which is called a dropshot in CoD. Whoever dies depends on the gun your using vs. the gun the other is using as well as who has the faster reaction and better accuracy. There are perks for faster ADS after running and there are perks for faster aiming in general. You're never screwed in CoD either if your smart enough, lol, that's how ALL games are. In CoD, a smart player doesn't just run out around a corner and hope that an enemy isn't there. What a smart player does is ADS as he's going by open areas to take advantage of a possible enemy not being ready or running towards the area you are in. There's a smart way to play any game. If your the one running up to a hotspot then there are also an assortment of ways you can go about it, just like Halo, the list is pretty big. You came up with a scenario that, yes, does happen, but does not describe what CoD is all about.

Again, CoD is not just point and shoot. And if CoD is like what you say then why is it so easy for me to take advantage of the people that are new to CoD? Shouldn't it be fair game since anyone in the world can just point and shoot?

Fact is we shouldn't even be comparing Halo to CoD. I know they are both first person and all but the dynamics are just way different, they are two different games with their own image and style of play. Judging by your posts I'd say you don't like how CoD isn't like all the other games where you can get shot 20 times and still be alive. CoD isn't like that, its what you call a hyper-realistic game that is very unforgiving and you have to be on your toes at ALL times because there is always an enemy around you and if you don't know what you are doing then you are going to die alot and end up with a low K/D ratio.

Its not cheap, its the same game your competition is playing and they have just as much of a shot at winning as you do.


It may be a case of which game you cut your teeth on etc. I will acknowledge that. If someone is a god at COD, and tries Halo, they will be struggling to get to 1:0 K/D and visa versa. I know for myself, getting to 1:4 K/D was only possible in Ghosts because I use a silenced sniper and learned the best places to camp. When I try to play shaggy "run around like a wet dog", it's just embarrassing.
