HALO INFINITE IS HERE AND WOW IT LOOKS GOOD……but looking back at Halo 4 and 5 I’ve noticed that 343 has grown based on US and OUR reviews. Halo 4 had a well written story but lacked in gameplay. Halo fans saw this and either liked the change or HATED it. 1st the art redesign for all the characters threw me off so hard, and so many others too. 2nd it was a bit sappy and mainly setting up a romantic relationship between Cortana and Chief. I always thought of it as a best friend or sibling like relationship. It seemed that way. And finally 3rd is only 2 words….Spartan…Palmer….audible gagging. For those who don’t know who Spartan Palmer is, she’s 343s replacement for Sergeant Johnson. She’s a bossy jerk and has no respect for the chief. Also her ethnicity constantly changes between Caucasian and Asian. Idk if that’s just because graphics but it was annoying. HALO 5. Where to begin. The backlash of it all. So after 343 decided to use our reviews to improve gameplay (we have a lot of reviews on halo 4), they created Spartan Locke…The “replacement” (that’s what he would have been if we didn’t hate on him so much). First off the story sucked. Badly. We played 7 missions as Locke and about 3 as Chief. That’s already a problem. On top of that they changed the mechanics entirely for gameplay. I liked the changes made to the weapons and scoping. But the jetpack, hover ability, and Spartan smash, slide, etc. they were too much like COD. If I wanted to play Call Of Duty I’d play call of duty. There was no character growth for anyone that lasts longer that 15 seconds. Only Buck and Dimkee Hotay were good in that game. Because one was nostalgic and the other was histerical.
NOW WE HAVE HALO INFINITE. After the backlash from halo 5, 343 looked at the reviews and fixed everything. The armor, the weapons, campaign, and we have brutes again for the first time in 11 years. How about that. I LOVE SPARTAN MARK 7s. They are a mix of my favorite Spartans, noble six and Chief. It’s all beautiful and definitely a game I will cherish along with Halo Reach-3. I mean it’s perfect. Designs come back to Halo 2 anniversary for elites, and we get a fresh design for everything else.
our reviews change the game. We have finally gotten what we wanted. Thank you 343, it’s been a ride, your growth has been crazy. You did well for start and now look where our fan base has led you. Behold, the game we’ve been waiting for.
Thank you, and fans keep reviewing because it’s the fans and insiders who change and support 343.
