Granberia Doragoon Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 Now that Halo 5 has come out, I've noticed that it's been getting the same flak that Halo 4 had. So I figured I would try to end it by going to bthe "great furnase" and kill this morbusak. Guy, Halo 4 ain't bad! To start this, I resided to give you people the main complaints about Halo 4. It has loadouts The multi player isnt classic halo The gameplay isn't classic halo The enemies have ranks The character personalities are different. And the campaign is bad. Now I intend to take these down 1 by one, but to let you know what these people's real problem is, these can be summarized by 1 complaint. Halo 4 is a Call of Duty clone. Now to get this out of the way, Halo 4 IS NOT a Call of Duty clone. There's only 1 thing they both share, and that's loadouts. And Halo 4 loadouts are only in multi player. Now first I want to take on the big complaint. In order to understand why Halo 4 isn't a C.o.D. clone we have to go back to the time before time, 1993. Now why 1993? Well, something big for gaming happened in 1993, DOOM. For those of you who don't know, DOOM was the "first" fps game. It actually took the already existing layout and completely changed it to what we have today. It paved the way for Halo and C.O.D. Now DOOM got famous over night, and several "DOOM clones" came out. But there was one particular one that also became a gaming fenom, Halo. Yep, halo. Bungie was trying to see what they could do with the format DOOM had made. What they ended up doing was proving an fps can have a story to drive it. And they did so very well. Halo had a well thought out story, which is the main selling point of the franchise. Now let's look at C.O.D. for a moment. The first C.O.D game came out in 2006, after 2 blockbuster games. Can you guess what they are? Halo 2 and DOOM 3. Two of the biggest fps franchises simultaneously released a new game. Fpses were at an all-time high. So what caused the release of C.O.D.? The popularity of roses. C.O.D. is a HALO CLONE! So there you go, I just killed that theory of Halo 4 being a C.O.D. clone. But something tells me you are not convinced. So I'll go deaper. Now if C.O.D. is technically a Halo clone, why is it bigger? Well first it has more games. But second is it allows more for the player to do. Gun attachments, parlour and all sorts of stuff. More then Halo. But Halo fans wanted to be able to do more. So what did Bungie do? Halo Reach. It added loadouts, and a little something called armor abilities. Now what was the point of armor abilities? To give people the abilities of a C.O.D. game, while still having classic Halo. And here we found the root. Because once these were added, people started complaining. Reach was also called a C.O.D. clone. And when 343 made Halo 4, they included some of what Halo Reach had. But 343 gets more flak because, it's not Bungie. And from here the rest of the complaints kill themselves. The real problems are, the fans are kinda greaty,and Halo is taking some changes. But that's it. The problem isn't with the game, it's with use fans. So if you played Halo 4 and disliked it that way, I suggest you sit down, and play it with this new info in mind. See what you think then. The Duke is AWESOME!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pohatu: Uniter of Stone Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 Halo and Call of Duty both share guns, and I'm pretty sure they share multiplayer. I HATE SCORPIOS ~Pohatu Master of Stone, 2015 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archer Vonn Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 i'm putting it into perspective. someone is saying a criticism, then you're saying its someone else and responding to the something else. the biggest thing wrong with your logic here is assuming that games in the same genre are automatically clones of each other. you've obviously never played doom or probably the older halos if you can't tell the difference between them and call of duty. 3DS: 3711-9364-3152 PSN: AidecVoros Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
