A true Halo fan would say something if they think something looks wrong with the game. I'm probably a bigger Halo fan than both of you and went back to Halo 3 instead of complaining about Reach.
Things Halo has taken from CoD or other CoD like games (e.g. Battlefield):
- Sprint
- Spec Ops (yeah it might be different, but they got the idea from them)
- The currency system/ranks (basically dumbing down, in the hope of more fans)
- Weapon Customisation (skins)
- Loadouts (Classes)
- Armour Abilities (Perks)
The list probably continues. It looks like Microsoft are running the show, with the amount of money grabbing.
