I came back to this video to see how Wooody approached a non cod game because of his fanboyisms. Crikey the man makes statements without understanding the game which if he watched back for example the comment about map knowledge. You do not just know the traffic, head glitching spots in cod you gotta play it.. I am not looking forward to him bagging on BF3 because it doesnt kill people for you, has tanks and people can blow up your position of advantage cos its not an immovable box
the only actual cheap weapon in halo is the rocket launcher. everything else is pretty fair. and the assault rifle is pretty sick in close range - mid range if u use it right
it stresses an accurate shot, map control and communication so let me ask you..do rocket lauchers and snipers seem all that bad compared to attack dogs, or a gunship? if you ask me all the high killstreaks in COD are unearned kills because they are all man vs machine, in halo its gun on gun!
it stresses an accurate shot, map control and communication so let me ask you..do rocket lauchers and snipers seem all that bad compared to attack dogs, or a gunship? if you ask me gunship or any of those other high killstreaks are unearned kills because its man vs machine, where as in halo its gun on gun!
so having an organized team that has map control doesnt deserve to get those 4 kills with a rocket launcher? where as in cod getting a chopper gunner guarentees you at least 7 - 10 kills. not to mention ive seen people get anywhere from 20 - 30 kills with it. Secondly, halos radar is so much better then cod. In halo you cant camp in a corner with hardline, get 2 kills and know where everyone is, halo encourages you to move around and play an FPS how it should be played.
play story mode just a bet more learn off line play the story mode on the hards then you lean how to live i did that and i'm great when i play online i'm aesome
Really it's not bad cause every body has an equal chance with the same gun and the DMR/needle rifle are the best if u know how to use em right (not counting shotty sword grav hammer or rocket launcher)
One thing perhaps would satisfy you is an in-game tutorial on every weapon and game mechanics... Yes most learn that instantly, people like you who are having trouble with the game do not. What I want to say is that a game should invite new players not through real gameplay mechanics. Instead is should offer guides for noobs separately. Otherwise the whole game is molded into a tutorial. LOL try playing starcraft bw on iccup! Tthere you have an excuse to complain about lack of noob-frinedliness!
LOL! Would you like this game to wipe your ass for you too ;)? If all the things you said were put into halo reach it would become noob friendly. More players doesn't make the game better! In fact having many people play a game makes the community too broad and screws the game over. Each weapon has its purpose. The assault rifle is a perfect starting weapon because if forces you to search for dmr/br anything that is more effective. "Help me learn" = ask people in the community to help you...
Dont complain about the assault rifle when you spawn with the magnum complain about the assault rifle on h3 that magnum was piss on toast, But I loved that bit of toast
Halo combat evolved is what got me into gaming in the first place, i love it. Its a race to the power weapons at times sure but killing someone with a rocket laucher taking it teabagging his corpse and then blowin him up when he spawns is so satisfying because you did earn it. theatre mode is better than any killcam. Call of duty rewards you for dying example last stand, matyrdom and that is not cool.Don't get me wrong I love cod 4,WaW, mw2 was awesome but know its sacked
@woodysgamertag do you realize how fucking ignorant you sound? You are basically picking apart each thing that makes Halo, Halo, and saying it should be more like Call of Duty. Things like this really piss me off. If you cant accept a game for what it is, then you shouldnt be wasting your time playing it. You seem like a really cool dude but jesus christ this video pissed me off. It is a completely different game than Call of Duty and it works, and in some cases better than CoD.
Try out the SWAT playlist, it is more twitch shooter based, but still takes more skill than CoD (and in my opinion, more than the regular halo game modes).
Gerttevil, fuck u halo fanboy, mw2 is a great game, GUESS WHAT? DANGER CLOSE IS ALSO IN COD4 FUCKHEAD! IT'S JUST A BUNCH OF FAGGOTS LIKE YOURSELF HOPPED INTO COD WITH MW2, IT AINT IW's FAULT THAT GAMERS ARE ASSHOLES!
@widudeisgod it is IW's fault that they don't listen to the community or fix the broken aspects of MW2. They neglect PC gamers, charged way to much for lame ass map packs, and they are just Activision's bitch and a bunch of money whores.
@Woody, you say halo is hard to pick up for a new player, it's the same thing for cod. a new player goes into a game and there are already people higher level than them with better weapons, how is that fair that the player with more playtime has better weapons? that's like me starting with a sniper rifle in halo 3 and a new player being given a pistol just because i play more.
good to hear a guy who doesnt say halo is shit just b/c he likes MW.. you like MW great.. but thank you for not saying halo is shit just b/c of your MW backround.
I love the assault rifle i can get a lot of kills with it the thing about it is you need to use the grenade and melee with different strategies and get up close
@coIt1245 Sorry but the only reason you can "get alot of kills with the AR" is because you are playing bad players, the AR is terrible against high level opponents.
@Zaicoo00 ya that may be true but the ar is still good for assisting people and if you have an organized team all using the ar you can do pretty well against an unorganized team of good players,or just using the ar in close range is still better then most of the other guns except for the shotty or sword
Woody, from watching your videos, Ive picked up two main things. Map control & map knowledge. The power weapons and lack of "map" radar encourage both of those. Don't get me wrong, I'm a HUGE fan. Just pointing out some... inconstencies, for lack of a better term. I meant no disrespect.
- Theres something better than kill cams in Halo, called theater mode. giving you more insight than any kill cam would.
- You said if they kill you with rockets they didn't out play you, yes they did, they made a tactical push to get it before you.
- you said MW2 IS MORE FAIR!?!? WTF ARE YOU ON? then said especially GB modes, as if saying there isn't competitive halo modes, when in reality theres more money in halo than COD when played professionally, called MLG
Woody Really? The whole power weapons idea is balanced, would you rather have everyone spawn with the Rockets? And Halo has a killcam, it's called Theater. If you wanna learn the maps go into Forge. You're complaining about Halo, because it isn't CoD.
I learn the maps pretty fast so the maps isn't realy a problem for me. And i hate kill cams cus is show the one you kill where you are etc. Assult rifle is for short to medium range at max i know it doesn't make much sense but it's always been like that so. and CoD games isn't realy that much skill sure it's some skill but not alot.
The free kills with power weapons does irritate me quite a bit; if a chopper gunner spawned on a map every 3 minutes, players would rage big time at that.
The kill cam: would be nice to see. Sometimes I just go "wtf" and can never know how he/she could have done what they did, or going "hey never knew that spot was there." Theatre shows it, but that takes time to go and watch,and you can't see their perspective of it, so you don't learn anything from theatre.
#3 the power weapons are essential to halo. its not cod, you don't have classes and even in cod there are definitely some weapons better than others. I agree that the assaut rifle sucks, and in classic slayer i agree that power weapons are over used. The dmr is an excellent weapon and slayer pro is a balanced gametype.
#4 Woody, what do you like about halo? This was a pretty negative commentary and i'm curious if this is really how you feel.
#1 the radar. While a map on the radar might be helpful, I believe it is an intentional omission. In cod its very important to immediately know where your opponent is, or else your dead. In halo, the shields make that degree of specificity unecessary. Besides, the maps in halo are extremely simplistic compared to cod maps, they should not be hard to learn.
#2 a killcam would be nice, but theater mode compensates
@widudeisgod dude cod takes no skill. first shot wins, and thats all. no communication. halo is superior. cod2 and 4 were the bomb. mw2 was the shittiest game in history
You cannot compare COD to Halo. That's like comparing an apple with an orange, I have been playing since Halo 2 and it is completely different than COD. It takes a different kind of skill, and rhythm when you play Halo. I love your videos but I have noticed that almost every YouTube Star compares the two and states that one should be like the other in this or that way. You just got to keep both at their own places and leave it as it is bro.
Weapons dont mean anything imo ive out pistoled a sniper... ive out ar a shotgun by walking backwards noobs are noobs weapons are only as good as the hands there in... only unbalanced weapon would be rocket imo hell even the sticky nade launcher takes skill to use... anyone agree?
@HallowedChampion it does ths sticky luncher is hard to use from up close. you have to time it. the game takes skill like gow2, and for the most part sci fi shooters in general. cod it is always the firts shot who wins
@GamingNotoriously Relax everyone, you dont need to sweat Notorious's critisism, judging by his voice it sounds like his balls have not yet descended.
maps are unbalanced as well. has anyone ever played powerhouse? acenstion? asylum? you spawn next to a power weapon and can see the other side of the map from 1 area. bungie went lazy in map design
Woody why do you think you're getting so much hate in this video?
1) You want halo to be more like cod, you want kill cams and you want the map. Next you're gonna want UAV's and predator missiles too?
2) No matter how you put it, you want halo to be noob friendly, yea thats great for you now cus you're a noob but what about after you cross over from a noob to a decent player?
3) Bottom line is it takes time to master halo and you don't want to put the time in. Btw AR > Pistol imo!
You kinda gotta pick your poison with the CoD way vs. the Halo way. You can either let everyone choose to spawn with the power weapons of their choice (Noob Tube, commando, etc) or you can throw them on the map and restrict them to whoever manages to grab 'em. Both ideas have their merits.
what on earth is your team doin? they are all over the place...yeah you guys won but there was like zero team shooting...
i guess the way halo version of the kill cam is the theater mode...and as for the mini map i dont think thats really going to happen...it bothers me too cuz most of the time i get stuck on a wall running from a nade...
you cant really compare mw2 and halo reach, i mean they are totally different games which happen to be in the same genre of gaming. If you don't like one over the other then don't waste your money. I mean its like people make it such a big deal over the whole comparison of the 2. People their just video games, whichever one brings you the most satisfaction and entertainment tailored to your interests should be the one you should buy
You shoot to quickly. In Reach, the weapons lose accuracy the faster they are fired. There IS a perfect RoF. It's what got you killed all those times; Those guy's had a better rhythmn than you did.
@ryand111 So taking time out of your gaming to leave a party and watch/go through a film in theater is better than a few seconds in game showing what you did wrong? It's not that big of a deal, but in regard to seeing what you did wrong, killcam>>>>>theater.
After watching ten seconds more I realised that you want Halo to be Call of Duty. If you want to know other people's strategies and how they killed you then watch the match back in theatre, you will learn more by watching an entire game from someone elses pov.
I can't watch any more because I know the rest of your points will be "its different from call of duty, it should be the same".
woody i think a main key to halo is using cover just as much as in call of duty if you know the maps in halo you will succeed because as you know in halo team shot is essential and a main part of being a good halo player is making it so you can only get shot from 1 angle or two at most just a little tip love the vids =]
The only problem i have with halo is when the other team spawns with needlers, its like spawning in with rockets there just isnt anything you can do about it.
Like @target555 said you have the theatre where you can see the match you did and follow every angle you want from sky view or player view and rewind etc...
I guess that's why you dont have kill cam but you can go watch the all match but I agree with the gun material it should be more equal but once again you have game modes where you can choose the starting gear :)
Yeh, I hate the assault rifle. I wish Slayer DMR, was just DMRs and nades, no other weapons on the map. I hate getting rocketed, and sniped. I should not have to camp the rocket and sniper spawns, just so I don't get raped by them.
I just watch one of Kampy's videos and he was spamming the DMR at sniper range and still killing people. So i'm still in the air as to which in better.
Kills with power weapons are definitely not unearned kills. You're still in COD mindframe where even when it's team deathmatch, people are only thinking about themselves. Getting power weapons is a team priority in Halo, and power weapons have a learning curve. Not everyone can pick up a sniper and rack up kills.
Well, the assault rifle goes a long way for kill wise, but use it to pepper the shields off of your opponent and finish them with a precision weapon... Or just keep going automatic, ;)
JESUS FUCKING CHRIST BUNGIE. GET SWAT THE FUCK OUT OF TEAM SLAYER ALREADY. I HAVE RAGE QUIT FROM 20 MOTHER FUCKING GAMES OF SWAT SINCE THIS FUCKING GAME RELEASED. GET THIS SHIT THE FUCK OUT OF MY TEAM SLAYER SO I CAN ACTUALLY PLAY THE FUCKING SHIT!
It's not as easily accessible as Modern Warfare 2, but Halo Reach offers an even richer KillCam experience. Watch the replays that are automatically saved and you'll be able to see what a player does from start to finish, how they time their shots, how they throw their grenades, etc.
halo takes skill, not just knowledge and practice. u can play as much as u want, if u dont have stick skills ur never gonna be a great halo player. thats why its the only fps game that consistently works well competively and also why its the best
In Halo you're suposed to play the campaigns first 2 or 3 missions to learn strafe techniques that are handmade by and for u, learn aiming properly and that stuff. Also the power weapons will require skill, for example the shotgun has very short range, and so has the sword. If someone gets close to u when u'r snipin it can be hard to no scope him. The game is well thought out and great.
@ohcrapmynameistoolon i agree that they can learn from each other, but they cant depend on improving another game's ideas, which is what tends to happen, they all need originality, and theres a fine balance
All the thing you mention are part of the skill. Knowing weapon spawn, know how to use the radar, know when to use right weapon it just the game knowledge you need to be good at it. I don't its that hard to pick up. Give this game more time.
You have instances of good DMR shots, so u r doing stuff right @ times. I agree that it isnt a noob friendly game. Hell im a long term fan of the series and still struggling at points. Reach is a new beast is terms of halo. Just keep wrking on it.
Another thing, getting up to speed is sort on the game is technically considered the players job. I for one, play customs and campaign before I ever set foot in Matchmaking. Every, single, day. It's all about making yourself better, because now there isn't much of a ranking system except for in Arena.
Well, I guess I'm going to have to be one of the first to take this with a mature manner. I think that you may be too used to Call of Duty, therefore you are used to the game play synonymous with all Call of Duty games. I've played Halo since opening day of Halo:CE. I didn't know anything about CoD until MW2, and I was saying the same things. Just continue to play, and you will get used to it. Just stay with it, and I hope you like it more than what you do now.
Woody, i love your vids, and love the commentary. however, you really missed the mark on this one. Halo is a competitive game, and is made to be so. It's not call of duty, which is the only thing wrong with it according to most youtube commentators. Halo is a great game because it doesn't cater to new players. The skill gap is what makes this game great. It lets the better team or player win every single time. I'm not trying to hate, because I love COD, just think that this game isn't COD
i disagree man. Play more, learn the maps, know the spawns, know where the best/power weapons are, learn how to use each weapon and their strengths/weaknesses, jumping, headshots, crouching. mw2 is the most noob friendly game there is. did i hear someone say nuke boosting?
@WoodysGamertag But not all camping is bad. Depending on whether you your holding down a building checking to make sure no one is invading your space like in FFA, but sitting in a corner with claymores is what i can see to be a bitch. But if your sniping, not quickscoping then its a bitch when they know where you are, especially in MW2
Game battle rules are great? What a bull, people only use the Famas and owerpowerd UMP and the only equipment people use is the annoying as semtex. Seriuaslly there is nothing noobish with claymores you got stuns and sitrep to counter it. And Woody you should definitly try Killzone 2. Now there is a balanced game. The health system is just right.
Woody, your starting to confuse me. You don't like people getting kills they don't deserve? What about the halo players that put years into the game, some guy (like you) comes along, thanks to a stupid feature starts getting kills on vets he doesn't deserve, is that still what you want?
Fact is woody, Halo is a long term game, to get good you have to put in the time, simple. MW2 is the easiest and biggest fail of the decade. You can't compare them or use COD to better Halo.
As a Halo player transitioning to COD, I thought the same things you said in helped you in COD were bad. Halo, COD. Both great FPS games, just different. Good video, Woody.
i understand what he says i play both, but bringing out the old maps was not very fair. and the mlg mode for this is shit. no fall damage highier damage... ect this is wrong its just halo 3 all over again. i dnt think this game will last as long as cod does... nooo way.
Dude, your asking for everything that will make you get better at the game to be handed to you. I think the Halo series is great because you have to actually practice to get better instead of getting it given to you. In response to what you said about killcams. I disagree that a killcam should be put in. One player on the other team can just view a killcam and it can ruin an entire set up. Also, usually gunfights last quite long in this game and a long killcam would just be a pain. Just my 2c.
@shaun0728 I don't think your statement about the powerweapons is entirely true. Sure In many cases, it's a reward for teamwork. However, In many cases the rockets are'nt "earned", they simply snag it of the start due to closer spawn and/or other mischievous ways. Is this rewarding a weaker player? I don't know. Anyway, I think it lies more to it than just teamwork versus noobfriendly and whatnot. As most guys said, you really can't compare the two.
To Preface, I am originally a Halo player but have spent the last year playing COD exclusively. One of halo's biggest skills is map knowledge. In H1&2, I could run around those maps blind and still make strafe jumps.
Map in radar and Kill cams is a change in the core game mechanic that established franchises don't change. Its like they changed COD minimap to always show player positions and the kill cam shows the next 10 seconds after you die, where the killer goes to regen.
wow is this your first halo i feel bad for you you picked up the worst halo game yet and even reach isnt that bad of a game.

And i hate kill cams cus is show the one you kill where you are etc. Assult rifle is for short to medium range at max i know it doesn't make much sense but it's always been like that so. and CoD games isn't realy that much skill sure it's some skill but not alot.

The free kills with power weapons does irritate me quite a bit; if a chopper gunner spawned on a map every 3 minutes, players would rage big time at that.
The kill cam: would be nice to see. Sometimes I just go "wtf" and can never know how he/she could have done what they did, or going "hey never knew that spot was there." Theatre shows it, but that takes time to go and watch,and you can't see their perspective of it, so you don't learn anything from theatre.

#3 the power weapons are essential to halo. its not cod, you don't have classes and even in cod there are definitely some weapons better than others. I agree that the assaut rifle sucks, and in classic slayer i agree that power weapons are over used. The dmr is an excellent weapon and slayer pro is a balanced gametype.
#4 Woody, what do you like about halo? This was a pretty negative commentary and i'm curious if this is really how you feel.
ckbyd69 1 year ago
Ok a couple of things about halo.
#1 the radar. While a map on the radar might be helpful, I believe it is an intentional omission. In cod its very important to immediately know where your opponent is, or else your dead. In halo, the shields make that degree of specificity unecessary. Besides, the maps in halo are extremely simplistic compared to cod maps, they should not be hard to learn.
#2 a killcam would be nice, but theater mode compensates
ckbyd69 1 year ago
If there is one thing I can't stand it's kids who suck at COD sayin halo takes skill, being able to survive half a clip DOES NOT TAKE SKILL
Ecspecially in halo 3: oh no I'm gettin shot... Hey look a rock... YAY full health

You cannot compare COD to Halo. That's like comparing an apple with an orange, I have been playing since Halo 2 and it is completely different than COD. It takes a different kind of skill, and rhythm when you play Halo. I love your videos but I have noticed that almost every YouTube Star compares the two and states that one should be like the other in this or that way. You just got to keep both at their own places and leave it as it is bro.

2) No matter how you put it, you want halo to be noob friendly, yea thats great for you now cus you're a noob but what about after you cross over from a noob to a decent player?
3) Bottom line is it takes time to master halo and you don't want to put the time in. Btw AR > Pistol imo!

You kinda gotta pick your poison with the CoD way vs. the Halo way. You can either let everyone choose to spawn with the power weapons of their choice (Noob Tube, commando, etc) or you can throw them on the map and restrict them to whoever manages to grab 'em. Both ideas have their merits.

After watching ten seconds more I realised that you want Halo to be Call of Duty. If you want to know other people's strategies and how they killed you then watch the match back in theatre, you will learn more by watching an entire game from someone elses pov.
I can't watch any more because I know the rest of your points will be "its different from call of duty, it should be the same".
chrisybwell 1 year ago
woody i think a main key to halo is using cover just as much as in call of duty if you know the maps in halo you will succeed because as you know in halo team shot is essential and a main part of being a good halo player is making it so you can only get shot from 1 angle or two at most just a little tip love the vids =]

They can't lay out the map on the radar because you can make your own maps and that would make custom maps difficult to map out on the radar.

Kills with power weapons are definitely not unearned kills. You're still in COD mindframe where even when it's team deathmatch, people are only thinking about themselves. Getting power weapons is a team priority in Halo, and power weapons have a learning curve. Not everyone can pick up a sniper and rack up kills.

It's not as easily accessible as Modern Warfare 2, but Halo Reach offers an even richer KillCam experience. Watch the replays that are automatically saved and you'll be able to see what a player does from start to finish, how they time their shots, how they throw their grenades, etc.

In Halo you're suposed to play the campaigns first 2 or 3 missions to learn strafe techniques that are handmade by and for u, learn aiming properly and that stuff. Also the power weapons will require skill, for example the shotgun has very short range, and so has the sword. If someone gets close to u when u'r snipin it can be hard to no scope him. The game is well thought out and great.

Another thing, getting up to speed is sort on the game is technically considered the players job. I for one, play customs and campaign before I ever set foot in Matchmaking. Every, single, day. It's all about making yourself better, because now there isn't much of a ranking system except for in Arena.

Well, I guess I'm going to have to be one of the first to take this with a mature manner. I think that you may be too used to Call of Duty, therefore you are used to the game play synonymous with all Call of Duty games. I've played Halo since opening day of Halo:CE. I didn't know anything about CoD until MW2, and I was saying the same things. Just continue to play, and you will get used to it. Just stay with it, and I hope you like it more than what you do now.

Woody, i love your vids, and love the commentary. however, you really missed the mark on this one. Halo is a competitive game, and is made to be so. It's not call of duty, which is the only thing wrong with it according to most youtube commentators. Halo is a great game because it doesn't cater to new players. The skill gap is what makes this game great. It lets the better team or player win every single time. I'm not trying to hate, because I love COD, just think that this game isn't COD

Fact is woody, Halo is a long term game, to get good you have to put in the time, simple. MW2 is the easiest and biggest fail of the decade. You can't compare them or use COD to better Halo.

Dude, your asking for everything that will make you get better at the game to be handed to you. I think the Halo series is great because you have to actually practice to get better instead of getting it given to you. In response to what you said about killcams. I disagree that a killcam should be put in. One player on the other team can just view a killcam and it can ruin an entire set up. Also, usually gunfights last quite long in this game and a long killcam would just be a pain. Just my 2c.

@shaun0728 I don't think your statement about the powerweapons is entirely true. Sure In many cases, it's a reward for teamwork. However, In many cases the rockets are'nt "earned", they simply snag it of the start due to closer spawn and/or other mischievous ways. Is this rewarding a weaker player? I don't know. Anyway, I think it lies more to it than just teamwork versus noobfriendly and whatnot. As most guys said, you really can't compare the two.

To Preface, I am originally a Halo player but have spent the last year playing COD exclusively. One of halo's biggest skills is map knowledge. In H1&2, I could run around those maps blind and still make strafe jumps.
Map in radar and Kill cams is a change in the core game mechanic that established franchises don't change. Its like they changed COD minimap to always show player positions and the kill cam shows the next 10 seconds after you die, where the killer goes to regen.
