I hate it when everybody says that, just because of a few minor changes that are remotely similar to cod, that they instantly say and assume that is going to be exactly the same. Not so. We get information on things such as custom loadouts, and people automaticallly start thinking only of the negatives and start saying why they would be a terrible idea, and why it is supposedly too much like cod, when really, not only cod has custom loadouts, but first person shooters everywhere. Singleing out one game in particular, seems not very fair, does it?
The problem is that people just won't accept changes. They want the same old gameplay all the way back from CE. But I will say, without change, even the most diehard of halo players will get bored of the same gameplay for ten straight years. I know I would. This is why cod failed miserably a long time ago; they brought nearly the EXACT same thing to every game that they have made. So... People say that they don't want halo becoming cod due to these changes. Well, consider this. Halo is halo, because of its diversity and how unique it is. This is all due to changes and tweaks in multiplayer gameplay. Without these changes, halo will be the same thing every time, and will go down to the bottom of the barrel with cod. So, if anything is going to make halo cod, its LACK of change. We do not want that. We need to keep halo a unique, unsurpassed series, which brings endless entertainment to hundreds of thousands. Millions. Lets keep it that way, and stop complaining about the changes, learn to adapt to them like the rest of us.
