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.

All I'm going to say is the most recent CoD's have gone a bit down hill.
Compare any Halo with CoD:4 and CoD:4 is the better game.

Call of duty is the best game, everyone knows it!
Halo can be fun sometimes, but usually CoD tops it!

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.
Yep call of duty doesn't have Campaign or multiplayer.

griff321 Halo destroys Call of Duty why would it have to chase a trash shooter when it's always been better. :)
Maybe because every since COD 4, Call of Duty has been the dominate FPS? Halo Reach and ODST sold less than Halo 4. Every COD game keeps selling more then the previous each year.
Shut the **** up.

thunderxl Halo 3 sold out all cod game sales.
This shows witch is the better game.
Oh fanboy making up facts.
Modern Warfare 2 sold 12.87m ( Xbox 360 only )
Black Ops 13.55m ( 360 Only)
Modern Warfare 3 14.51m ( 360 only )
Halo Reach 9.16m
Halo 3 11.59m
The only COD games those 2 outsold were COD4, COD WAW, and probaly the CODs before those. Shut the **** up and do some research before you talk.
