There was a time that Halo was the kind of FPS, not it's not even the face of the 360 anymore. That has affected the image of the 360, and has given Sony the best FPS this gen, contrary to past gens where it was Xbox exclusive.

Why? BUNGIE FAILED. While they were too busy rehashing Halo, IW actually improved their games and gave us COD4 and MW2.

Halo Reach felt so outdated (and sold less than Black Ops) because it lacked thiongs that are now standards like perks, killstreaks, customizable weapons, melee-kills, etc.

If Bungie's next gamed oesn't improve, they're gonna be defeated by IW once more.

I completely agree, halo has been exactly the same since combat evolved while CoD has been improving exponentially with each new iteration IMO.

Why? BUNGIE FAILED (to milk the series). While IW was too busy rehashing COD, Bungie actually improved their games and gave us Halo 3 and Halo Reach.

Modern Warfare 2 felt so outdated (and sold less than Black Ops) because it lacked thiongs that are now standards like balanced perks, balanced killstreaks, balanced customizable weapons, balanced melee-kills, etc.

If IW's next gamed oesn't improve, they're gonna be defeated by Bungie once more.

The_RedLion

Fixed. I can't imagine why you would think IW did the right thing... All of the COD games since 4 have not progressed at all in terms of balance or gameplay.

Compare how many times IW rehashed: CoD4 and MW2

At least MW2 has a higher metascore than CoD4, ODST and Reach DID WORSE

ODST's biggest change was to make a shorter campaign with no new MP and sell it for $60 that's not positive change imo

Wait, does that mean that Bungie's lead devs need to get fired from Activision then form a new team so they aren't milked yearly by the Devil himself?

Well actually... I'd say adding visr mode, firefight and and the open night time level hub was some change.

Charging sixty dollars for a new camapign, a new survival mode and the complete Halo 3 multiplayer experience doesn't seem any more dispicable to me than Infinity Ward rereleasing an inferior version of the original Call of Duty on XBLA and PSN only supporting 8-player match at max at a higher price point than what the PC version was at the time...

IW (5 since 2003):

Call of Duty

CoD: United Offensive

CoD 2

CoD 4 Modern Warfare

CoD MW2

Bungie (5 since 2001)

Halo

Halo 2

Halo 3 ODST

Halo Reach

They have released the same amount of games but IW has done it in a shorter time frame.

COD4 was a huge change that's why it succeed

All Halo games since Halo 2 have been the same

So Halo Reach is the same as Halo 2?

Even Halo 3 plays different.

In MW2 the same strategies apply as in MW, camp and you win.

And I'm ending my argument here.

EDIT: your point doesn't even address what I said earlier.

Critics + gamers (sales) agree with me.

Games are reviewed and judged based on what they try to do, and how well they do it.......NOT how well they stack up against COD. Reach, R2, and especially BC2 would get 9.5s if that were the case.

Compare how many times IW rehashed: CoD4 and MW2

Bungie: Halo 2, Halo 3, ODST (rip off without new MP), Reach

At least MW2 has a higher metascore than CoD4, ODST and Reach DID WORSE

The_RedLion

Let's count the number of games both have released.

IW (5 since 2003):

Call of Duty

CoD: United Offensive

CoD 2

CoD 4 Modern Warfare

CoD MW2

Bungie (5 since 2001)

Halo

Halo 2

Halo 3

Halo 3 ODST

Halo Reach

They have released the same amount of games but IW has done it in a shorter time frame.

COD4 was a huge change that's why it succeed

All Halo games since Halo 2 have been the same

I wasn't aware Halo 2 had bloom, a base health system, no dual wielding, fall damage, armor abilities, forge, theater, online campaign co-op, and file sharing.

In the days of modern military shooters Halo is becoming an acquired taste.SaltyMeatballs
It's kind of sad, really. Just goes to show how little bearing quality has on success.

ODST's biggest change was to make a shorter campaign with no new MP and sell it for $60 that's not positive change imo

The_RedLion

What does that have to do with what I said? I already said ODST was the only one that didn't change. The rest of the games have changed quite a lot.

What changes? I pointed out ODST because it's the only one who actually felt different, for all the wrong resons

Halo 1 to 2 was probably the smallest change, they added online and changed the way the game played with the addition of dual wielding, rockets that tracked vehicles, nerfing the pistol, human vehicles being able to be destroyed.. All of those things made halo 2 play very different to the first From 2 to 3 is probably the biggest jump in content. They added forge, theater mode, file share, 4 player co-op. Some of those things have even been copied in CoD. They also added equipment, detachable turrets, more vehicles, more weapons, took out vehicle tracking from rockets. All of which made the way the multiplayer change quite a lot along with the campaign. From 3 to Reach: this is the biggest change in the core gameplay. They added bloom so when shooting rapidly bullets became less accurate which hadn't been seen in halo before. Along with that they added armor abilities which completely changed the pacing of the campaign and multiplayer, making people have to completely change the way they played compared to previous games. Along with that they refined forge making it easier to use, firefight was added. All in all no FPS on consoles can compare to the amount of content this game has.

Reach took out dual weilding

why is that all the changes Bungie has made in seems to be for the worse?

The_RedLion

Dual wielding didn't improve Halo at all.

Halo 3 and Reach outclass every CoD this gen a hundredfold. Hell I thought Reach was a massive downgrade and its still much better than any CoD I've played this gen.

Seriously Tc I suggest you look at who's winning in the MC user score before you bfring out a statement like this.

The_RedLion

user scores are a lot of times made by people that don't even play the game

I know that, but still it tells a different story then the critc reviews because in this case the user scores are slightly more important.This is because I'm never trusting any cod reviews ever again.

They are FPS and were released around the same time, they are comparable
