"Halo 4: I Get a Woman!" - Sgt. Mjr. A.J. Johnson, RIP

Basically the only thing gamers want to see these days is the exact same game they love with a major graphical overhaul and remake of the environments. I'm okay with that. If BF3 was a clone of BF2 with Frostbite 2's amazing graphics, animation system, etc. + more modern editions, I would buy it. Now Call of Duty, though. You can't fix that no matter how many visual upgrades it gets. Tight, close-quarters combat can't be fixed no matter what way you dress it up.

So stop making sequels, and actually make something new.

e: Nobody's contradicting themselves. There's just different groups of people that want different things.

ahh when the elites actually looked like they had high-tech armor and threatening. The new ones looked like they were stolen from some Gears of War concept or some bullshit.

H2 elites looked anything but threatening

I beg your pardon?

Exactly! People say CoD sucks because it barely changes, but then they say Halo 4 is going to suck because it's not Halo 3 with a few small changes! Dumb people are dumb...

That is less frightening than this... Go to 2:25

Ignorant people are ignorant.
CoD doesn't have any kind of unique art style.
All Call of duty is, is real life weapons in generally real life locations, the characters are designed to look like genuine people, there is no unique art to it.
Halo, that has it's own style, you can tell a Covenant by looking at it, you can tell forerunner by looking at it, Even human tech is easily recognizable.
Quit the bitching about people wanting Halo to look like Halo.

Putting way too damn much specularity of every object in the game.

That's just bad design, not an art style. :v:
