Halo 4′s "Perk" System Clarified, "Classic Halo is Still There"

4.7
With Halo 4′s multiplayer having only been revealed just a couple days ago, controversy has already managed to find its place among the Halo community. Yesterday, it was revealed that Halo 4 would include some sort of “perk” system which many fans instinctively compare directly to the Call of Duty franchise. Understandably, it would be disappointing for die-hard fans of the Halo universe to see their franchise adopt gameplay similar to that of another, losing its unique identity. However, Franchise Director, Frank O’Connor, urges fans to avoid jumping to conclusions.

O’Connor recently clarified on the NeoGaf forums that “there aren’t ‘perks’ in the game as being described here. And classic Halo is still there. But there are things we will be rolling out soon to put all of this discussion in a much better perspective and I suspect calm frayed nerves.” He later added, “…we didn’t mention them. That’s why I put it in quotes. That term was coined by someone else to interpret stuff they saw in the UI [User Interface]. Not a big deal in the grand scheme of things and to be expected during announce fervor. And yes, it’s partly our fault since we re rolling out more information about this stuff at a later time.”

Pareidolia Halo better be the main guy again, he is such a badass and kills all the aliens.

Wow you are an idiot. The ''main guy'' Is not called Halo. He is called Spartan 117 '' John '' Master Chief. Halo is jsut the universe the is set in.
Yeah, the Halos are the names for the giant ring worlds Halo CE and part of 2 were took place.
lol I hope you're tolling cause master chief is the main star who isn't afraid of anything

No what do you mean? Halo is the main guy and he kills all the aleins and doesnt afraid of nething.

You guys have got to be kidding me.

Two_Faced I love Halo 2/3! Imagine how good it could be with a few "perks" added, I put perks in perinthises because I dint wan't them to be like cods but I would like to see, something like; ghost, lightweight, slight of hand, and Marathon. I think it would make the gameplay faster but still keep the four shot kills like in halo 2/3. And they need to keep the ranking system like in halo2.
I belive halo 4 will be an epic game, I believe it will beat call of duty BY FAR. also it will beat BF3

In all honesty, I doubt anything is going to beat CoD. Every new CoD makes more in the first week than the last did, and Black Ops is the most-sold Xbox 360 game ever. But beating BF3, sadly, would not be much of a statement.
But the Halo franchise is an Xbox only series of titles and to sell as much as it does, on one system especially is remarkable, now go ride CoD's nuts a little more.
halo has already beat cod gameplay wise its just the sales that cod always wins

Ride Halo's nuts a little more. I NOWHERE said CoD's gameplay was better. Halo's gameplay wipes the floor with CoD's. I was talking sales, and nothing more. Don't assume so much.
Sorry about the double post, I messed up the first time somehow.

You are an idiot, I said it's not going to beat it. OBVIOUSLY, gameplay-wise, Halo wipes the floor with CoD. I enjoy Halo 10x more than CoD.

Halo 4 Spokesmen: " Call uhhahooahcchch of uchhoccuhoh Duty uchaahucoahc" ( D1ck Sucking).

That's all games do now-a-days is copy CoD. Crysis, battlefeild, and now Halo? Even though they arn't 'Perks', they still copy the idea/style. If Halo adopts this system, well then Halo dies with Reach.
