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.

Cod will never be a "better game" than Halo. Not one of the games (perhaps excluding Cod5) had all the essentials to make it a good game. Campaign, Team-Based Play and MP. This is why Halo is better.

TTG_Sreyo Halo, if your're gonna copy anything from CoD, Please, oh please do map packs like them. I don't want to pay for the game twice in a year to play the multiplayer. Honestly, it's just cheap.
I agree with you, I hated the way they did it with halo reach -_-

The CoD franchise is one of 343i's major competitors and they AREN'T chasing their tail? The can learn from them as well as vise versa and I'm not relating to gameplay.

I don't mind Halo, but I think that CoD is alot better and Halo is chasing it if anything.
I find CoD more fun for me but that's my opinion they are both great games.

Even-Khalifaa- They are two completely different games. I don't know why people make such a big feud between the two.
Yeah Call of Duty has more of a special operations feel to it, while Halo has fantasy shooter with a larger story line that makes more sense.
Halo isn't fantasy (imagine dragons and orcs in Halo lol), Halo is Sci-Fi all the way. Though I do agree on everything else you said. Halo's fiction is just outstanding.
