I hear it being back and forth and to be honest, if 343i would actually send a REAL employee and listen to what fans had to say mmaybe just maybe we could get some real results. I know a lot of the community has been around Halo since its first time and as for myself I can say the same. Overall, within the years I started playing I know of the changes and how the games progressed, which in most cases were for the better. Everyone started on even grounds and fought for power and had a blast.
I just want to know who 343i really listens to, those who want a more classic feel to Halo or those wanting to keep things the way they are. I for one would like these things to return to its original state. Reach added Armor Abilities to get people to use the Equipment people rarely used in Halo 3. Some examples on how these equipment in Halo 3 were put in Halo Reach.
Bubble Shield - Impenetrable and protected the player which was turned into the Drop Shield which gave us the Bubble Shield but it was able to be destroyed, along wih the Healing effects of the Regenerater.
Armor Lock was given the impenetrable part of the Bubble Shield, but gave the player 0 movement along with the effects of the Power Drain in a EMP blast.
Active Camo and Radar Jammer were combined into one which was useful.
The Flare was never added nor was the Deployable Cover or Ployable Grav-Lift which was sad. I even hate that having the soft kill zones wouldnt allow me to explore the hidden area of a map like I was able to in Halo 2 and 3. I am hoping with the things Halo 4 gave us and the amount of hate the community has, I am hoping 343i learns from these mistakes and returns Halo to what it once was and that made it more fun and enjoyable.
So with Halo 4 out and so many disliking it who does 343i really listen to in order to get things straight?
