[QUOTE=Trunk Monkay;38188824]Notice how I wasn't hoping for the complete removal of it, just a game mode where it doesn't have those. the thing that makes halo fun is that it's more or less modern quake 2, just a rat race to the rocket launcher and sniper rifle spawns where it gets duked out from there. IMHO the abilities/perks took away from that.[/QUOTE]
I'd be surprised if they didn't have a playlist where you started on perfectly equal footing.
And if they don't at launch, don't worry, the community bitching will eventually force them
why did they change to point system to 10s for kills
what is this bullshit
they literally did it only to emulate CoDs. it's fucking stupid. go back to 1 point per kill.
I like kill cams, I kind of wish CS:GO had the more traditional ones not just the screenshots
I like seeing how I died
Except that it's because you now receive points for any contributions you make to your team. So you might get 5 points for assists, 15 points for splatters or something, etc.
Please actually pay attention the the fucking video before you jump to dumb conclusions
What is the fox news of video game journalism.
Because I have a feeling whoever they are is going to say that this is a cod rip off.

You got the whole blindly-defending-something down to a science man.
Quit being so pissy because people are critical of the game.

It's fine to be critical of something, I'm simply correcting the terrible amount of misinformation in this thread. iirc being critical should actually pertain to not liking features for actual reasons, not just because of a wide sweeping "cod rip off" statement which has absolutely no basis when compared with facts.
I'm happy about the score change, now for a kill steal I still get points, or for killing sprees and such

Perks and kill cams, along with kill streaks irritate me, but they're minor so I don't really care

Haha oh god, after not coming up with any else petty shit to complain about, you're actually whining about how the scory system works? :v:
This is almost reaching Neogaf in hilariousness, where they literally complained for pages about the white text that appears when you get special kills, and how it takes away from your concentration, without ever even played the game.

do i look like i sat through the video combing through shit to complain about? i made one fucking post, not whining for pages.
it just stood out to me as a change. i don't like it. the rest is pretty nice in all honesty, and i can't say anything in regards to perks or balance because i haven't played the game, and quite likely won't for a while. i think it's a bit sadder that i pointed out that nitpick and made the dreaded CoD comparison, and it elicited such a kneejerk reaction from FPers.
that said, i can fully understand the rationale behind the system. that also said, i still prefer the old one.

Maybe you didn't watch the video in that frame of mind, but it sure looked like you checked which things had been complained about, skipped those and came up with something else.
Just look at your post. You try turning the scoring in to a huge thing, a game changer. When you call such a minor change huge bullshit and actually say it's only there because of CoD, what kind of reactions are you expecting? For a bullshit post you're obviously going to get bullshit answers.
If you think you're pointing out a nitpick, you don't usually go all "WHAT IS THIS FUCKING BULLSHIT" about it. If you know yourself it's nitpicking, how about you act like it the next time.

Yeah uhh do you even know what you're saying here?
Who cares the in-game scoreboard is exactly the same it only has an added zero. You said you understand why it's like that so why are you complaining so much about such a minor change which doesn't affect gameplay at all?

no
10 instead of 1 is something i can't live with. not buying halo 4 now, such a ridiculous change can't believe they would betray us like that

i sure do. at this point i'm not even whining about it, just batting off criticism. i'm not even going to be playing it, does that mean i can't even say "huh that's bullshit, it's like CoD and was fine the way it was, change it back"?

wait so changing the kills to 10 points instead of 1 so they can give you more compensation for assists, more variation in terms of how you killed them (headshot, sticky kill, melee etc.) makes it CoD?
either you're really dumb or you're trying too hard

i think you're just raging over the CoD comparison. i'm not buying it due to a lack of dosh and XBLA gold, also variations already existed with medals. it really isn't anything new. also, how is it stupid that i'm comparing it to a game that already uses the same system? would you prefer if i said "it's bullshit, it's like tribes ascend/battlefield/etc and was fine the way it was, change it back"? i said CoD because it's pretty clear that it's:
a. the current leading shooter, whether we like it or not
b. therefore obviously had some influence on other aspects of halo 4, sprinting as a consistent thing instead of a perk etc etc
c. pretty much unnecessary considering that medals worked just fine in the past for the same thing, and assists were simply counted in a separate section of the scoreboard
you're the one getting all pissy at me for commenting that i don't like it. is calling something bullshit suddenly the most massive fucking callout on the planet or something?
are you mad that i didn't criticize the mechanics despite never playing the game and therefore not having any valid reason to complain about them, therefore criticizing the only thing that i could fairly evaluate at the time of watching the video? i didn't think through my previous statement, because it was a simple first impression reaction to watching the video.
yeah, it streamlines the system. it's nice, it's a way of giving more points to a team that performs more stylish kills. i'll even say that i'm convinced that it's a better system than the previous halo's. i have a nostalgic attachment to the old system, but i can understand why this one is preferable.
Actually, unless I'm mistaken, sprinting was added baseline because it was considered the obligatory best armor ability.
Also why do people keep calling them perks? Perks are passive abilities.
I had no idea cod invented sprinting and the 10 point system. Seriously why does everyone have to compare everything to cod? So are we going to start screaming that Doom 1 is a cod clone because you can run in it?

Theres been 1 person in the thread so far who has mentioned that it's a rip off of cod, every other instance of talking about call of duty has been from you and roflburger. I'm complaining about the abilities system because I think it takes away from the gameplay. What made Halo fun was that it was Quake 3 arena with vehicles. IMHO the abilities/perks take away form that.

Finally someone understands Halo!
Yeah it looks pretty good but the guy playing wasn't to good and most of the stuff I didn't like has been talked about enough in the thread.
[QUOTE=SpartanXC9;38195933]Finally someone understands Halo![/QUOTE]
This is the second time you said that to somebody, like nobody else here or in the Halo thread "understands Halo"
I don't understand all these complaints.
I loved halo reach and im sure as hell going to love this, the only thing that gives me that iffy feeling is the 'care packages' (get kills, drop a nice gun on your head), though im sure it'll only serve to balance maps that have that token super weapon in the center or something.
Also, with halo's fundamental customization features that this one is bound to have, we can disable whatever we don't like in a custom game-mode, or play in one that is a 'halo 1/2/3 roots' game-mode sponsored by the devs or something.

[QUOTE=Delta616;38105584]Halo is what ever you want it to be. Don't like loadouts? Select a playlist that sticks to the classic gameplay. Not to mention there is no drastic change in how the games play out. The majority of the weapons are still only available on the map, and not in loadouts. Ask anyone besides me who has played it, most people I talk to about it agree.[/QUOTE]
I don't know it kind of sounds like you don't understand what Halo is
[QUOTE=SpartanXC9;38198329]I don't know it kind of sounds like you don't understand what Halo is[/QUOTE]
I sure know what Halo is, and so do many other people. There's nothing we can do about the changes right now so we have better things to do than whine about them.
[QUOTE=SpartanXC9;38198329]I don't know it kind of sounds like you don't understand what Halo is[/QUOTE]
Sometime I wonder if say stupid things like this because you're serious, or just to annoy people. Halo 4 really is any thing you want it to be with the amount of variety it has. But overall it's core values of what makes Halo the game it is, still intact. Your "Superior understanding" of what Halo really is won't change that.

lol
I don't like how they changed the health system. They made it more like a modern day shooter. In the other halos you could live a while without shields but now its more COD like. I also never liked sprinting in these types of games.
