Halo V.S Call of duty

However it appears that you have misunderstood some things which is partly my fault so let me explain some things. "My opponent states that Cod is based only on Americans beating the crap out of everyone? This is a false accusation. Mw3 has characters people connect to just like halo. In Cod, Price, Ghost,Soap, are main key characters. To understand Cod you have to look how it has advanced. Cod 4 started as more of a history brief showing price's history's and many things as Russia trys to obtain launch codes. Cod mw2 picks up the story and then moves on to MW3. Mw3 takes you into the future of the war being fought. It takes you into France, Germany, and gives you a view of what is happening around the world. Many people like Cod because the campaign takes you around the world and shows events and what is happening to other countries and really bases things of modern day time not a supposed future fairytale like halo" You have not given any reason why call of duty's storyline is better than any other basic shooter. It is pretty common for games to pick up were they last left but that does not determine the quality of the story itself. You say that the game is based on modern events and what happens to other countries, this is not true since the storyline is based on a very unlikely alternative universe were in CoD4 russians and terrorists make a timed alliance and in MW2 and 3 marakov wants to cause genocide. The storyline and action set pieces in call of duty are false and gives people a wrong image of a true war scenario. You are also implying that halo's storyline is inferior because its a "supposed future fairytale" yet you accuse me of basing things off opinions. It is irrelevant whenever the story is based on sci-fi or an alternative modern scenario its about the universe and variety of the story within the games. "My opponent says sniping, heavy weapons, etc are available in Cod. Answers this in Mw3 can you use light machine guns? Can you snipe? yes My opponent listed the same thing that Cod has allowed you to do in the attempt to say in halo you can only do it. My opponent dosent know much about Cod. Either that or has not played the campaign on a hard difficulty. For one in a real modern war enemies are not gonna run and give up flanking positions. But at the same time on veteran and hardened the enemies do rush you. My opponent is not showing any sources so far about how it is true. " What i was implying was that the objective and lvl design in call of duty is more straight forward and linear than halo's. Halo's lvl design is based on a larger scope in which far bigger vehicles and more enemies fit. As example: . http://www.supercheats.com... . http://faqsmedia.ign.com... As for call of duty i still stand behind my argument that call of duty's A. I is very basic compared to halo's. Difficulty is irrelevant for enemy A. I as it only improves that the enemies deal more damage not that they move more. In veteran it is mostly common that you get either encountered by a nearby enemy with a shotgun or a sniper on the roof which corners you into a little place because the scope of the lvls are to small and straight forward. As example: . http://media.giantbomb.com... . http://www.gamepodunk.com... Ofcourse these are only a couple of pictures which is why they are called examples but if you're not in an action set piece moment you often find yourself stuck between buildings or inside a building. Here are some examples of the scope and enemies in survival mode/firefight and it is clear that once again that soldiers in call of duty are more straight forward while halo's enemies have more variety . http://www.youtube.com... . http://www.youtube.com... "I will rebuttal this by showing my opponent how the games have dramatically changed and the many differences and once again show my opponent did not read sources. " What you say is that the games have dramatically changed, yet the examples you mentioned are basic things that you expect in every sequel. (new story, campaign, weapons ect) However those changes are not that drastic. Ofcourse it defeats the idea of the exact same game but what i meant was that the core mechanics play the same as its prequel were as halo always changes things up like in halo with armor customization, removing bloom and the previous things i mentioned. One of my main arguments for that is the engine. All that call of duty does lately is update its engine. For example the MW3 engine it uses right now is a slightly updated version the IW 4.0 engine which is just a modified quake III engine. This results into similiar sound, textures and design. Halo on the other hand with the exception of ODST has always been redone. Even halo anniversary which is a remake uses the saber3d engine which heavily improves on graphics, textures and ofcourse sound effects. "Nazi zombies allow players who dont have live to play zombies with friends and try to beat their high score" You can also do this in firefight 2.0 of halo reach which can imply that you didn't look that up carefully. "Saying Halo revolutionized and started Cod is a lie. Halo is based on future and has very little realism when it comes down to graphics. " I think you misunderstood this one and i apologize for not explaining it correctly. What i meant was that halo revolutionized and popularize multiplayer gaming on consoles which is a major key factor to CoD's succes. It is a fact that online first person shooters are now dominant on consoles and call of duty, battlefield and halo are examples of that. But what is now so extreme popular started with xbox live. I know that there were consoles with online before but none of them were as groundbreaking nor had it the technology that the xbox had. With over 8 million copies sold you cannot deny that halo 2 was the flagship title that popularized xbox live and therefor online gaming on consoles. "Their were several games really revolutionized Fps games and here is my source . http://www.freeinfosociety.com...; With this source you've only helped my argument that halo was more revolutionizing than call of duty as halo is mentioned in this source and call of duty isn't.
