I can see what this thread is quickly turning into: an avenue to vent anger towards opposing game fan fronts. Personally, I don't see myself as an "Infinity Ward fanboy", but it seems that others have shown that they don't see myself in the same light. If I didn't like Halo, trust me, I wouldn't BE here. I've played both Halo and Cod rather intensely in the last few years, and I feel that everyone has the right to their own opinion on both franchises. Now, if someone decides to degrade one of those franchises without proper proof of what their talking about and without doing their homework, then I will proceed to defend either, because I know their pros and cons to the T. But it seems some people think that they have all the facts about either, and when they begin to disregard my research as a way of proving their position, it seems a rather futile and insulting attempt at winning an argument, when a set of unbiased people who could weigh the aspects of each franchise would accurately tell you which has a higher increase in feature implementation without degrading either game. Now, I realize that most of us here are diehard Halo fans, but being a Halo fan myself the last couple of years Ive realized that Halo can blind people to other good games on the market. To respond directly to ImaGonnaGetYou, everything you just said to prove your point has directly worked against you, in a rather sad way in fact because your argument falls right through.
1. The brunt of what Bungie did with ODST was just that; created new levels. Seeing as you said "anyone can do this", whats the big deal then?
2. Wow, slightly modified? This statement really shows that you have no idea what your talking about. The engine has been almost completely overhauled PERFORMANCE wise. They just happened to go the extra mile and add a graphical update to it as well. Maps are now able to be created much larger than before. If I must remind you Bungie is still using the same engine from Halo 3, no updates in tow.
3. Back to number 1. So whats the big deal?
4.Playable characters? Maps? Weapons? As far as I've seen, ODST plays out the same as Halo 3, only with aspects of stealth and less firepower worked in. You and I both know that "new playable characters' translates into ONE new playable character. Disappointing. I do my homework. Do you?
And stop acting like the only mature person on the forums with you're overuse of the term "fanboys". I call it VOICING YOURE OPINION. If oyu don't like it, too bad, but people should be able to know the truth about something before they make up their minds on it. Thats what Im trying to do, present facts. Bungie has created a great franchise; in fact the franchise that was my first love in terms of first-person shooters. But the lack of change has given me reason to tread into other games in the genre, and I'll never be happier.
