…HALO 2 HAD CHANGES FROM HALO CE?! Z0Mg! Tehy changed teh thingz!
Point I am trying to make, is that with each subsequent Halo game, something has been either changed or implemented. What is this called, you ask? It is called “evolution”. Ya know, like pokemon or something. It was DESTINED to happen. Each game did keep the basic Halo formula, which is the following…
-no ADS
-super jump height
-fast running, relatively
-shields
-no One-shot kills, unless it is a sniper headshot or a -Yoinking!- explosion
That, in my opinion, is what makes Halo, Halo. If they keep those aforementioned points, then, in my eyes at least, it will ALWAYS be Halo. Halo is a like a christmas tree. Halo CE was the actual tree; the core. With each game, there were a couple ornaments added to it. With Reach, they tried different ornaments, but they still kept the -Yoinking!- tree; they didn’t change it into a shrubbery.
No matter how many ornaments you put on it, it won’t change the fact that it is a tree. Sure, some ornaments may be horrendous to look at, but they can be ignored; put them on the part of the tree that faces the corner of the room where nobody can see it. This directly relates to GETTING OVER THE FACT THAT SOMETHING YOU DON’T LIKE IS ADDED TO 343i’S (last time I checked, THEY were making THEIR game, NOT YOU) GAME.
343 is trying out different ornaments to put on the traditional, classic tree. Only a few ornaments; flashy ones. It’s not like they are stripping the tree of all of it’s branches to make it a twig. No, they are just doing things a little different.
You don’t like it, get over it. Period.
Change is good. We live in an ever-changing world. If you don’t like it, then maybe Earth isn’t for you. Go live on mercury where the day barely changes to night and the night barely changes to do due to how slow the rotation is.
Half of the members on this board are children; it annoys the hell out of me. Why? Because these are the same type of children whose parents spoil them. I bet these kids get their favorite dinner every single night, but, when their mom decides to make a different dish for her family, that child goes berserk and says “it looks like Yoink!! It isn’t my favorite dinner! Why are you changing it?! I want my SPEGHETTI, MOMMY! NOT LASAGNA!” when they haven’t even tried their mother’s lasagna.
It’s a pity how spoiled the lot of you are." -Credit to Slyrunner.
I totally agree with what he says here. I am a Halo vet. and I know this is what Halo truly is. A tree. A tree of change and innovation. And I want those additions to be in Halo 4, because I felt that the Halo formula was beginning to go stale, I mean its only been 10 long years.
As long as Halo 4-6 still contain those 5 CORE elements, than it IS HALO. And to all of you whiners and so-called “fans/veterans” then you would know this is the truth. You don’t have to have faith in 343i (even though I do), but the minute you criticize something without actually seeing it in action/playing it and claim to love it’s history.
You lose all credibility and most importantly RESPECT. I cannot believe how many pointless rants and complainers I have read/heard in this forum. But I’m not gonna tell you to stop or to wait until 343i gives us more info. Because you fools are entitled to your opinions (no matter how dumb or “smart” they are).
And to those who want to play the same Halo experience (like Halo 2/3) over and over again for the next 10 years through Halo 4-6. REALLY??? COME ON, MAN!!! That’s so pathetic, So you want a “new” Halo game with the same feel/gameplay as Halo 2/3 but with new graphics?? Get real kids.
