Sorry, I meant first one as in Halo Combat Evolved, the first Halo game in the series

Ohh, whoops, sorry, I misread.

Indeed, about this topic that can be summary "Halo vs CoD" and considering the increasing success of CoD, I m always wondering how Reach will perform agaisnt CoD7 or if Activision will decide to move CoD7 to 2011 ...

Don't plan on Bungie making changes to integrate with CoD styles. They even mentioned on one of their latest podcasts how they do not care for unlockables that affect game play. They have stated that they will provide rewards and incentives for players to keep playing. What these are though, will be revealed at a later date.

Also, as from what has been said in previews and interviews, Bungie is using campaign maps\spaces for multiplayer. The obvious implications here are for Firefight so that AI will already have pathing knowledge of the maps. But there are some other possible outcomes of this fact. A game mode that has hereto been unknown. Perhaps something along the lines of L4D, where 1 team is human and the other controls covenant forces.

And just as a note, sprinting is only enabled once you equip the sprinting armor ability. It is not something that can be used without picking up this item.

Its not only Call of Duty either. Its also Killzone 2. People keep comparing not only Halo, but other X360 games to Killzone asking will it look as good. Killzone and Halo are 2 different games but same genre but thats it.

Yeah I don't know why people just want every game to be like Modern Warfare these days. Halo is Halo, just leave it at that.

Hey, as long as they bring back the epic feel of the campaign in Halo: CE, I'm down.

this thread wins, if halo changed, i prolly wouldnt like it anymore

this is spot on 100% agreement, I think that keeping it Halo the Way it is in style that it was intended as the developer's have done is the only way to keep it as Halo, Halo is not COD, it's not Killzone 2, it's not Gear's of war etc. it's what make's it unique. the story, the character's and its over all tone and background. why on earth would people want it to be like the other game's I think that take's away it's flavor of being Unique.

I think that's with any franchise though, but if the developer's decide to change thing's well those are the break's, but I myself will still play it because I like the experience of the game, more than just plinking every little thing about any game.

I partly agree with what you said. I also enjoy the Halo series. I own all of the games..............but improvements are needed. Not necessarily drastic changes, but maybe subtle ones. Just like the sprinting, I think that the jumping needs to be adressed as well. I'm tired of killing "jumping beans" every time I go online. Maybe they should change it so that if you're being shot, you can't jump as high or fast. Like in Gears, when you're being shot you can't run half as fast. Maybe they'll keep it the same. They just need to keep it fresh. That's the key.
