To me 343i’s changes are best described in the good words of Capt. Keyes, “We made a blind jump.”
343i’s intentions were good however they totally disregarded their community as a whole. Now we have more nostalgic gamers arguing with the newer gamers over core gameplay.
I feel 343i should consider a balance of new and old ideas when toying around with halo 5’s mulitplayer.
Some Old Ideas to Consider
Halo 2 Map Design
Halo 3 ranking system
Halo ODST gameplay features
Firefight
Halo 2/3 Multiplayer elites
Some New Ideas to Consider
Loadouts (only fixed)
Sprint
AA’s (for defensive purposes)
Halo Reach’s Armory (possibly some of the most diverse armors in Halo history)
Halo Reach Forge
Spartan Ops Story (while the story is amazing the levels seem repetitive and dull)
Please 343i, you may think it is impossible to please all of your fans when it’s not as hard as you think. Just give us a good balance of old and new ideas so we can all live at peace!
