I am an old school halo 2 fan and player along with halo 3. I feel the sameway as the OP. I never owned a copy of halo reach, and now h4 is a copy from cod. Its still a good game, but what happened to halo being original? Halo is just.like cod/gears now. And the ranking system also takes away from the competitiveness. I still play hard, but the motivation is very low.
