So yeah, Halo's still being COD-ified. Neat article, though.

I completely disagree.

First of all, COD was not the first game to use sprint. Gears of War uses sprint. Even Doom uses a run feature.

Second of all, "this game now has features that are used in this older game" is a really lame for anyone to not like a game. If the feature is put to good use, and the game is good, why should anybody care? If it were that big of a deal, all FPSes after Wolfenstein and Doom would never be played because they "ripped off."

Just because a game has similar features taken from other games doesn't mean it's going to be bad or unoriginal. People seem to forgot the original Halo had very unoriginal artistic inspiration from Aliens II. That doesn't mean it was a bad game.

remember fanboys get offended when stuff is ripped from a game they like and thrown into a game they think is terrible. let's just wait for the MP beta to have something to actually complain about

I agree. Also, ftfy. The original was "Alien". :downs:

I like the fact that Bungie is grabbing features from other games and adding them to Halo. The most obvious features are from Gears of War (assassinations) and Call of Duty (Sprint, AA). If the gameplay is solid and fun than I'll have no problem.

Lol?

:raise:

Those aren't features in those games. Those are features that have been in MANY games and are good gameplay elements.

True, but there were also things taken from Aliens 2, including Sgt Johnson's character, Pelican dropships, the armor for the Marines, etc.

He means the first movie was called "Alien." The second was simply titled "Aliens," no 2 or II. hth

(also should we consider making another subforum for Reach)

What we should do is just make a subforum for all Halo games besides Halo PCs (1 & 2) with prefixers to specify what game the thread is for

Then combine the Halo 1 & 2 PC subforums into one.


I won't hold my breath though...we're still trying to finish upgrading to vb4 after all

while yall talk about the game play, I'll sit in wonder of how well they pull off the story. I'm very much interested in what they do with the sparten IIIs, and wonder if they'll do anything with gamma company of the sparten IIIs. any one got any ideas?
