Halo is Microsoft’s flagship Xbox franchise. It plays on controller, the gameplay is iconic.
There’s a lot of history too. I still remember seeing a grainy old video of Ogre aiming the sniper at nothing only to watch the enemy step right into the headshot. He knew exactly where the enemy was routing and had the headshot lined up. It was an ingenious technique at a time when no one was online chatting about competitive gameplay. Competitive gameplay didn’t exist.
So anyone out there who is complaining Halo doesn’t play like other MKB FPS shooters, aim assist, whatever, I’d like to say that you re completely wrong. Core gameplay and controller mechanics absolutely can’t change. It’s iconic, familiar, and what we expect.
