I play COD4 online a lot and you can tell whenever a Halo fanaticplays this game just by how they play. Everyone once in awhile I always see another player jumping around like they are on a pogo stick: Halo gameplay at it's finest. Unlike Halo you can't jump 10 feet in the air in order to avoid on onslaught of bullets. I notice players trying to do this on more and more games nowadays.

So if it ruins the game and doesn't help them, kill them. Eventually they will learn.

That was easy.

So you're blaming Halo 3 for idiots who don't understand the gameplay mechanics of more realistic FPS's? Maybe you should blame the idiots themselves?

You're really stretching it on this one.

People always jumped in CS too when I used to play it. Did that ruin the genre as well?

You think that Halo is the only game that does this?

Whenever new players come to Guild Wars that are more experienced with WoW, they always ask where the mailbox is or when they can get a mount.

It's not just Halo players that do this, so in all seriousness, stop whining. They're free kills to you so why are you complaining?

This mechanism is called "Jumping" it's found in many FPS' and many people do it to avoid being shot.

Call of Duty is mainly played for the multiplayer experience, which is awesome.

Yeah, the campaign is short.

But to say it's damaging the industry for not having achievements? Are you SERIOUS?

When I play Quake 3, people jump around all over the place. That killed FPS gaming too, right?

Ok perhapos I was a little premature about saying Halo specifically did this. However I am mainly a fan of more realistic shooters (Ones where yoru charcter isn;t jumping all over the place to avoid bullets being lobbed at you). When these charcters come into a shooter based more on realism than an arcady FPS I'm sure it pissed a few of the fans of realistic shooters off. That is why I enjoy the gameplay of Gears of War with it's duck and cover system. And what's with this '50 shots in the head and still alright' mentality that game makers of these types of games are employing?

That's more of a test of patience than skill. I'm not saying it takes no skill to beat COD4 on veteran, but when you have to trudge through infinite respawning enemies then it's torture. It's the reason why i gave up on COD2.

No it hasen't. Games like CoD4 and Crysis are post Halo series games that are still amazing with influence from Halo but completely different gameplay.

Saying that Halo ruined the FPS genre because people are stupid i stupid in itself. Blame people for thinking every game has the same game mechanics, then kill them.

I am well aware that people have been using that since the dawn of the online shooter genre. However I mainly attribute the love of this mode of gameplay on the 360 specifically to Halo 3. Why you ask? In my time of online gaming with Halo 3 all everyone did was jump. A person starts shooting at you? Oh it's time to jump! Everyoen did it and I am fairly certain everyone still does it in the game. Halo 3 is the biggest game thus far on any of the consoles and it trollops every other shooter in sales. So yes, I think Halo 3 plays a very large roll of this type of gameplay, it is how the online multiplayer portion of this game is suppose to be played. Why else would the developers allow you to jump 10 feet in the air from a standstill?

I agree with the TC on an esoteric level. But my remedy likely differs greatly. Every FPS should have a double jump like Super Ghouls and Ghosts!

1. I seriously doubt you have played Halo 3. And if you did you must have played on easy because the average on anything other than easy is 10 to 15 hours. And atleast Halo 3 has co-op to help add some re-play value to the campaign.

2. that's a matter of opinion, personally, I couldn't even bring myself to finish CoD4's campaign. Not one interesting thing happened the entire time I played (well, other than the nuke).
