CoD4 single-handedly ruined first person shooters.
>introduce small maps ripped from singleplayer campaign not suited for balanced mp play
>introduce aggressive as fuck health regen
>introduce SHARED WEAPONS POOL. No unique weapons for drastically different sides anymore
>introduce killstreaks and other shit that kills for you and gives you the illusion of skill
>introduce fake rubberband recoil
No other game has brought so much cancer into gaming at once.
Pretty sure Halo had those first two points.

regenerating health is the only legitimate problem you listed. the THEME of the maps was ripped from the campaign, they were redesigned for multiplayer. the loadouts you chose were still based on which side of the map you were one, long range sniping or rushing attack routes. killstreaks weren't even close to what they are today, a non-factor, especially considering RPGs. and the weapons that needed real recoil had it, like the M60 and the Barrett .50 cal.
They only used assets from the SP levels, they weren't directly ripped from them. That had no bearing on their balance.
It's a fun casual shooter.
you don't like fun?

Actually, Halo CE had neither of those.

>introduce SHARED WEAPONS POOL. No unique weapons for drastically different sides anymore
This annoys the fuck out of me in games
>bububububut balance
nigger BF1942, MoH and CoD 1 were balanced and they had unique weapons for each side. No faction specific weaponry just lets you be fucking lazy.

Don't forget the GOD AWFUL

IF I WANTED TO PLAY WOW, I'D FUCKING CUT OFF MY BALLS AND DIE!!!!!
>>341030921
Are (You) seriously saying that Halo had balanced weapons?

> killstreaks weren't even close to what they are today
The point is they were in the game. Having them, even if not as bad as they are today, alone paved way to the faggotry that is todays FPSs.
>the loadouts you chose were still based on which side of the map you were one, long range sniping or rushing attack routes
You missed the point.
Pre CoD4:
>Russians have AKs n shit
>Burgers have M4s n shit
post CoD4
>Russians have high end US gear
>Americans have low tech Russian gear because muh choices

but unlike the older CoDs, the campaign in 4 wasn't diverse enough to warrant faction based weapons in the multiplayer. in keeping with the special forces theme of the game, you can customize your guns. and just because they had basic killstreak rewards didn't mean they had to inject them with steroids in the later games. they could have improved other aspects of the game but they chose not to. the only game mode they had any effect on was Domination, anyway. and i thought it was really fun to place airstrikes on the flag points.

No, not what I meantthough for the series in genral, CE has better then average balance, which fucking says something about how fucking shit 2 and 3's balance is
I meant that Halo CE had no mp maps ripped from SP, and didn't have health regen, which are true
>>341031140
you could pick up better ones retard
>>341030309
no Goldeneye did
Not having faction specific weaponry is one of the biggest bullshit trends in themed multiplayer FPSs.
>>341030309
At least the campaign was pretty fucking great.
>tfw COD4 was about a gang of SAS operators doing awesome shit with some grounding in reality
>tfw they've gone full sci fi
>COD will literally never be as good as the Stalingrad mission in WAW again

I thought that OP meant to put another meme arrow before the word campaign.
Also,

that mission was dumb, the japanese missions were the best.
>>341031916
>implying PC maps count when they weren't in the original game
>>341031991
>When the Japanese go full BANZAI mode towards the end
Scary as fuck.
>>341030309
Y'all are autistic.
Vietcong/Russians/sandnigs have all used US weaponry before (irl). Google insurgents with us weapons. Soviets in ww2 even used us weapons.
>>341032440
The number of people using enemy weapons compared to people using their own is fucking miniscule.
>a handful of people in WW2 didn't wear helmets
>lets make the whole game with nobody wearing a helmet because technically it's correct.
