I love both Halo and Call of Duty, but lately they've been trespassing on each other's turf. Methinks this is 343's eff-you to Activision for Advanced Warfare.

CoD has been milking minor patches as brand new games forever now.
And Halo's gone down the drain since 343 got their hands on it.

I've stopped caring for either franchise.

No, it's actually just 343's last FU to original Halo fans.

We're being Call of Duty fags and you can't stop us!"

EDIT: I say that because I expected them learn more from Halo 4 and stop changing Halo so much. However, they did roll back a few things. It just seems crazy that they still added more COD stuff at the same time.

+Sprint. I don't think it should be in Halo, but this video literally just taught me something the other one didn't. Your shields don't come back. A good enough compromise.
+All Spartans start the same in a match again
+Map control is back, I think
-Mounting ledges. It might sound silly, but jumping was a very nuanced thing in Halo. It took skill and practice. You could fuck up under pressure and kill yourself.
-Bloom. Looks like they still have reticle bloom, which the first three didn't have. Fuckin... still lame.
-Ground Pound. Melee was also very nuanced. This thing could be ridiculous if it's too powerful.
-The announcer sounds fucking retarded.

=="Smart Scope" AKA "Still the same as zooming, but with an extra animation and more shit on your screen." Seems unnecessary. But I don't really blame them.
==Sliding.. Probably not going to change anything.
==Boost dodge thing. I wish it wasn't there, but if it replaced all other Spartan Abilities, then I'm okay with it.

Also, they'll get +++ it they add back in dynamic 1-50 ranks.

At the very least they should have played CE and 2 before they started developing Guardians. Make the next game like the first three, with a few bells and whistles (ie- assassinations).
