To Space Unicorn 326: Thanks for openly addressing the specifics of what I was attempting to get at and for continuing in the nature of the subject. I agree with what you said and thank you for the support. I was not saying that CoD is the first game to have loadouts, just simply the most prominent. And I really enjoyed the old brawl style of Halo in being able to earn the power weapons instead of "Killstreaks". Because that way you get to all fight and actually interact, like SP said.

I think that Halo 4 is effectively Call of Duty with a Halo skin, and while some fans may think that this is awesome because they can finally play "Halo COD", I don't think that it is a great change. One of the best things about Halo was that it was different than COD, it was not the customizable run around gunning everyone to earn better guns type game. It was focused on map control, and being able to control an area of a map in order to attain power weapons that would help you do better. Either that or being able to find some random weapon on the side that you loved, that was only on a particular map that you could go grab first and then hunt people down with. I don't think that changing the game into the Call of Duty style has enhanced the game, but instead has changed it to an entirely different game, and one that was already made. I think that 343 should either change it back to classic Halo 1-3 style, or at least make several different types of game variants that allow for people to play with this old style of play so that it is more Halo based and not COD based.
