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.

Halo destroys Call of Duty why would it have to chase a trash shooter when it's always been better. :)

FNGVEVO 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.
Yeah, I don't see how they can say they aren't chasing cod's tails.
'Cause Halo and CoD dont compare.

I can't wait for this game, and I'm glad they are steering away from CoD-style gameplay.

VeniVidiVici 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.
What about CoD:4 probably the best call of duty, or the black ops campaign? They was big wins, we also have alot more stuff, but I think they are both great games
