Definition : Take away or alter the natural qualities of.
It started with Reach , The new additions that strayed from the original Triangle Formula of Melee , Grenades and Guns . It’s not all 343i’s fault , some of it is Bungie’s too . They put less care into Halo Reach so they could rush it out and end their contract with Microsoft We all know it.
The new additions of Halo Reach like AA’s over equipment and The lack of a CSR and Bloom were a disaster , Many people hated Reach , a awful lot in fact The Triangle was broken. The new additions we’re not welcomed by the Halo community. No one asked for the gun to bloom or aa’s . Halo worked well with neither of these two. However take away a couple thing’s and it still felt similar to Halo CE - 3. Halo could still be played the way it should be in custom game’s options too. It’s worth noting not all Halo Reach was bad, forge world was great and the new game mode’s were fun however the gameplay sucked and was nothing like what we wanted or expected after Halo 3 .
Alot of people still played the game though , of course they were gonna it’s Halo . The game I assuming everyone on here fell in love with and people that dont come here too . But that was overlooked after a year. When 343i’s were announced to take over Halo many of us were sceptical. Would they ruin Halo , even more then Reach ? Would they rush the game for money?
Many of us were relieved however with the promise of Halo being taken back to it’s roots as they promised. With no beta we had too and with the TU done to Reach it was a step in the right direction and many of us Loved Reach’s super slayer. Halo CE Anniversary was also a good start. That game we all loved from the early 2000’s the game that started Halo bought back in glory with HD .
It all seemed to be going well we were over the worst of Halo , it’s dark patch with Halo Reach . But when Halo 4 was released what did we and so many of the other Halo fan’s that dislike this game see ?
We saw an even more denatured Halo , it straying from what it originally was and how it was naturally played. 343i’s lied to us. Some thing’s were a improvement over Halo Reach granted But many thing’s that sucked about Reach were brought back aswell as some new thing’s Many of us didn’t want. We never asked for loadout’s. Halo was alway’s arena and should stay like that. Many of us play CoD if we want Loadout based shooter’s of Battlefield if we want Class Based.
Ordnance’s were never asked for. Map Control was a huge part in deciding who won Before. The Team that acted quicker got the better weapon . It was a fair system that worked. Now people can camp and drop the power weapons. We never asked for this . Halo worked well before , Map Control and Balance worked to a T. Halo 4 took Halo away from it’s root’s more then Reach . A fun aspect of Halo was always its vehicles. Now they are a death-trap, The ability to spawn with Plasma Pistol’s and Grenades has ruined them . So many things are wrong with Halo 4 .
Thats why me and so many Halo fans are asking please return Halo back to its self. Dont change the game to try and steal other games fans. Keep the core Halo . Bring back the near perfect Triangle system. Scrap AA’s bring Equipment back . Put power weapons on the map and dont make them a score streak .
Before anyone says adapt or Arena is dead dont even bother. Arena is dead because no one makes a console arena shooter anymore thats what made Halo stand out, I dont need to adapt either . Halo needs to go back to what it should be again . You dont see CoD changing to a arena shooter do you and then expecting there fans to adapt. Each Halo game before Reach brung so many great additions. Halo 4 has tryed to be a generic shooter and annoyed so many fans .
I’m not a blind fanboy either Halo 2 and 3 both had problems before they were updated . But for many of us the game was so good it was worth coming back too . Even if it was horrible broken .
Also we dont want a exact carbon copy of Halo 3, many of us just want a Halo that feels like Halo and not a totally different game.
