Are you legit, Crysis?

2:06. The weapon practically forms in his hand.

Tell me how that is not a light rifle?

The discussion about an obvious ripoff from Halo 4 is not a good topic?

Halo 4 is a ripoff of COD, so wouldn't that be a ripoff of a ripoff?

Clearly you haven't played H4. Also it looks somewhat like a foreruner weapon? but not really?

In actual fact, the first halo was made before COD... 2001 for Halo. 2003 for COD.

That should be basic knowledge. And yet, there are still total fan girls who insist that COD was made before Halo... sigh.

The funny thing is Halo Combat Evolved looks better than Call of Duty (the first.) Now, what does that say?

343 has ruined halo

Halo CEA is a crappy port with a reach model/texture tagset

Halo 4 is a terrible but successful attempt at making a COD clone in the halo franchise.

They've ruined halo. and yes I've played enough Halo 4 to know it's not a halo game.

FTFY.

One is great and one is mediocre in most cases, great in one case. (World at War.)

Okay, even if it's not a cod clone, It's as close as halo has ever gotten to cod and no longer plays like a halo game.

I don't know... while the crouching and sprinting reminds me of COD, really, that is the only element from COD. And that isn't even an element from COD. Countless shooters use B to crouch, and left ... thingy to sprint. SENSIBLE shooters use that system, because it allows better movement and more dynamic action. So really, I could say it's as close as halo has ever gotten to Ghost Recon. Awesome game, btw.

And the multiplayer is SOOO much Halo. If you have ever played almost 8 hours of multiplayer continously,you will know how epic it is. Dominion alone makes me happy. And Forge... dat asteroid.

Actually you ALL are wrong and I can tell you guys clearly have not played Crysis like I have (through like 8 times for the first and like 4 times for the second). Look at the alien tech and structure designs in crysis 1 (if you have the computer capable of doing so since most here on this site do NOT) and you will see that the way that gun is designed is 100% perfectly normal for the series. I mean come on! It didn't just hover into place like halo 4! It mechanically went into place for one and all that happened in the anim was the rounded flex scales dropped down over the arm. Two, If you're gonna say they are ripping that off, then you must assume that halo ripped off from Iron Man. (watch parts of the movie where suit mechanically goes into place and closes in to form a whole) Personally, I can't believe you guys are even calling relating this. See, this is how crap like Apple lawsuits happens people. Apple creates things later than others, throws a patent on a "concept" so no one can use it (even though the other people already thought of the idea ages before Apple and they should have been grandfathered in so they couldn't be sued). IT'S A FREAKING CONCEPT!!! How the heck can you patent that or say that someone is ripping it off. But anyway, this is not about apple and their crap values as a company. This is about that fact that you can't allow a single game/video/whatever to have a patent on what is known as a "concept". Plus, weapons and/or armor that just fits into place either mechanically, or seemingly magically, has for years, since we first gave a thought to alien life, been a concept of mankind. So now we can say that they ALL ripped off your great great great great grandfathers. I guess what my basic
point is here is that this claim is so insanely not valid whatsoever.
And don't go saying that they ripped off the gun design. That's like saying they have a patent on pointy ended alien guns. huhwhat?!
Also, would it not be more logical for a squid-like alien race to have something that a tentacle can go into? the only. And if we're gonna go and talk about

Killstreaks, perks, armor paint, weapon loadouts based on rank, how easy it is to kill people, tone, weapon camo; customization, etc

very funny video there sshers1.

funny how in rage he even punched the wall with both hands...
walls don't fight back though so i just found that even more funny and sorta stupid at the same time.

funny thread too here, it went from crysis/halo to cod/halo.

Nice... rant, I guess?

I was not suggesting that Microsoft has a copyright on pointy ended alien guns. They have a copyright on curvy alien guns.

I understand, but the design is frighteningly similar. I mean really. It follows the same basic shape - floaty scope thingy that pops out when you pick it up, the barrel looks quite similar - the two rods of metal on top and bottom, and energy/light in the middle.

I guess I worded it a bit strongly, but... so did you. They could have come up with a more different design.

I also find it hard to believe they developed the idea without any inkling that 343 was making a weapon frighteningly similar. Especially since it was released after the big, Infinity-mission and live action trailer.

Well, Halo 4's spartan looks very very Crysis like. So I'm sure Crytek have the right to steal at least one thing from Halo 4 in return.

+1
i didnt even finished Crysis 1, so i dont really care this thread, lol
(maybe because my computer sucks.. )

Sorry dude, but I have to defend the name of the series that REALLY started the trend to bring game design and graphics out of the dark ages. Granted I love halo, but hell, let's talk about halo ripping off the mark IV from the get go.

Hmm... 1989 was that date...

Hmm... Carry the four...
multiply by the square root of -i...

hmm

And we "should" have had a lawsuit! :D



All I'm saying is that everyone rips of of everyone. Calling it sad or trying to point out instances is just terribly pointless.

Halo 4 is NOTHING LIKE COD... you idiot's that say that don't have a clue what your talking about. Just because COD did classes and now Halo 4 has done Loadouts does not making it like COD...

It seems that Halo would have stayed EXACTLY the same as Halo Combat Evolved throughout all the games if Bungie/343 followed your logic of not changing or adding features.

OMG LEMME ADD ACOG TO MY SNIPER BR AND COVIE CARBINE!Heartbeat sensor on my saw ftw. ugh i dont want airstike i want a hind. why cant i jump higher?!??? let me drive this car i want to run people over!

owait...i'll be fine with just a plasma pistol and br with a jetpack. maybe i'll use a ghost



Halo Reach's multiplayer didn't feel right to me, and just not Halo. However, it seems to me that 343i took a step in the right direction and it feels more like Halo in the newst game, imho.

OP is a raging fanboy.
Why? Who knows. Crysis' weapon designs don't affect the OP's life in any negative way.
And Halo 4 borrowed plenty of elements from other games. In fact the Halo 4 zombie gametype features crysis soldiers, like almost an exact replica.

This is a stupid thread, put together with little thought.

Umm, I looked at the weapon pick up animation and notice only a few parts that move. The gun was not being put together out of thin air like the forerunner weapons. Crysis is a great fps series for those who like to be a beast super soldier. Hell, I felt more like a beast super soldier compared to the Master chief in Halo 4. Both are great games.

The music in halo4 was awful. The new sound guy clearly does not understand Halo.

The rest of the game is alright though. Matchmaking is still terrible, but it has been on every halo game to date.

we need an OT section

While I agree that the soundtrack isn't halo'ish, in it's own right it's a pretty decent soundtrack.
Also, Halo matchmaking has been pretty sloppy since Halo 3. HOWEVER, in Halo 2 it was fantastic because of the much harder ranking system imo. Games to me, mattered. I felt a certain adrenaline because I actually wanted to win. I wanted to win in order to keep my level 26.

Since Halo 3 everyone was level 50 so to speak, that and party chat made it's introduction. Thus less people used mics ingame, focusing on their private party chat instead.

Those thing ruined Halo matchmaking for me!

The soundtrack is alright, it just isnt halo.

I mean the matchmaking mechanics. Unless you are playing alone, it is near impossible to get a match. Often takes over 15 min to get a game with a party.
Very broken.

Ah yeah, I've had those issues aplenty too.

scott speaks the truth

Stop being so against Halo 4. It is in NO WAY a rip off of COD. The Campaign was a blast. And the MP isn't to bad, but is worse than the other halo games. All that needs to be done is weapons added through the maps. This is part of the factor that made Halo MP. I don't really mind ordnance but Weapon classes have to go. IMO Halo 4 is better than Halo 2 Halo 3's and Reach's campaign.

A ripoff of COD would be iron sites, UAV, Support ships, knifing, etc. The only thing that is similar to COD is sprinting and ordnance.

I have also played and completed each crysis campaign. Warhead was the best IMO. 1 was good, 2 just lost it. I will admit I felt like I was playing Halo at times, it has pretty much the same variant of enemies. The linear level style was a huge disappointment, along with the loss of all the characters from the past game. You can probably expect the same thing in crysis 3. It was a whole lot more fun fighting giant alien warships and flying squids than aliens that can do the same things a human can do.

I don't know, I get into a game very quickly (not enough time to edit loadouts) with about 5 people.

just coming in to say that CoD ripped so many things from other games.

even nazi zombies. ever heard of Necrovision?

halo 4 is pretty chill yo but I like halo 1 and 2 kthnxbai

Halo 5 Flood Firefight with weapons, barricades, and level parts that you unlock with money you made by killing flood.


And their Nazis.

I like Crysis

At least they are copying the good stuff, and I'm excited to see what they can cram into cryengine 3.

didn't know the flood own nazis :O

I just want an in-game explanation of why the CEPH aren't cybernetic anymore...
