Ok so I don’t know where to post this so I guess here is as good a place as any,
Recently I’ve been thinking about why is 343i launching the Halo franchise on PC and all the discussion on going back to Halo’s roots and I came up with this weird and pretty unlikely idea that 343i is launching the franchise on PC with the MCC so it can get their new consumers acquainted with Halo’s classic mechanics instead of the modern H4 and H5 mechanics, by doing this its assured that IF they do go with the old mechanics with infinite at least half the fan-base wont mind and be happy with the changes due to the new fan-base in the PC section and the Halo veterans liking the classic system.
But this is just my crazy and unlikely idea,
your thoughts on why im wrong?
I think the new fan base is rather minute compared to the old. If classic mechanics return, the game is likely to get more praise as the old fan base made the classic trilogy one of the highest selling of all time. What type of players is the new fan base comprised of? COD fans? They’ll probably just go back to COD if they see Halo isn’t so much like that anymore. Their loss! Halo is great because of what it started out as. It has lost it’s way through the years, unfortunately, but this is a great opportunity to fix that! Especially when so many other franchises are returning to their roots. If newer players can’t appreciate that, than I’m sorry, but maybe you shouldn’t play Halo. I’m not a big fan of COD, but I respect that it doesn’t try to be like other games (at least some of them don’t, anyway).
what if they were to remove a bunch of stuff and make it to where these new armor abilities are like reach style abilities (please no armor lock). I’m not sure what to do about sprint though, I wouldn’t make sprint a pick up ability, it either has to be there or not.

i think you misunderstood, when I say new fan base I’m referring to the PC market not to the H4 & H5 fans

i agree, all the other stuff can be converted to pick up abilities but sprint cant, due the requirements of having sprint in the game (map and gameplay design) you cant have it sometimes and sometimes not, its either 100% on or never again seen
