I was so happy to hear about 3d support for Halo Anniversary that I spent an extra $200 on a 3d capable tv last year. I assumed that if it had 3d support, future Halo games would as well. Boy was I sadly mistaken when my pre-ordered Halo 4 came out, with NO 3d support. At first, I thought it was a mistake on the outside of the box, an oversight. Then I loaded up the game and sure enough, no 3d video options. I was rudely reminded of the no 3d support when I got a hold of my very first Forerunner weapon that formed in my hands as I picked it up. Oh, how awesome that COULD have been, had it only been in 3d.
Please tell me that this will be corrected for the next Halo game, otherwise I don’t see much reason to continue with the series. I mean, it has been over 10 years that I’ve been playing Halo in 2d, that’s old and over done. Especially when you add in the years of other FPS that ALL offer exactly the same 2d experience even if each game is slightly different. A FPS is a FPS, but a FPS in 3d is exciting and new. Especially for those of us old enough to remember how awesome, new and exciting FPS games were in general. I still remember my first time playing Wolfenstein 3D, even it if really was in 2d. I had that feeling with Halo Anniversary as well, even though I’d beaten the original already.
Not putting 3d support in new games, is like not putting in HD support for games a couple of years ago. Once you experience it, you can’t go back. Halo 4, I wanted to salute you, but without 3d support, you’re just another FPS notch on the belt to me.
