343i: 'Halo 4 isn't chasing Call of Duty's tail'
In an interview with CVG, Halo franchise development director Frank O'Connor was asked if modern shooters such as Call of Duty have had an influence on the design of Halo 4.
O'Connor replied by saying 343i has done its due diligence, keeping abreast of the genre's evolution and a keen eye on peers. He went on to reveal former Treyarch and Infinity Ward devs are working on the sequel and "bringing some of their habits to the game."
Despite this, the development team has made a conscious effort to ensure Halo remains distinct and maintains its own gameplay identity.
"We haven't tried to chase that tail," said O'Connor. "Those games are good for specific reasons, and Halo is good for a different set of specific reasons.
"I think the closest we've come to that conversation about Call of Duty, is that we wanted to have an amazing player progression experience that wasn't just aesthetics."
Earlier today 343 revealed the Flood will return in Halo 4, and showed off two new vehicles.

Exzo I think Halo will always be a good series same with The call of duties. But i wouldn't say either one is better than the other.
I totally agree with you, they both have flaws, and they both have pros. Can't really compare two way different games.

-Khalifaa-SugarcaneSewerTaste Once halo 4 comes out call of duty is completely dead hard to say but it is totally true
Uh, no.
Cod will never be dead. There's more Cod players than there are halo ..
The only reason I see halo dying would be because it is limited to Xbox.
Call of Duty > Halo
End of story

Yeah your right. But IDK what they are possibly gonna do for CoD 10. The MW storyline is over and I don't think they'd release Black Ops 3 right after 2.
