Like many of you out there I’ve been playing halo since day 1. Over the years Halo has been mostly amazing with very few short falls. Consistently getting better and more exciting we’ve all fallen in love with Halo. But now, halo has taken a dark and unpleasant turn.
The release was a highly touted and much hyped event to which it only fell flat on its face. A very under developed online interface with frustrating game play coupled with a Master Chief barren campaign caused quite a bit of anger amongst the masses.
Nearly a half a year in and many of the opinions and suggestions the Halo die hards have given are still falling on deaf ears while 343 continues to plow ahead with their ideas on how they are making halo and it’s game play better.
I was discussing this with friends and we jokingly described still playing Halo as if we were in an abusive relationship. We fell in love with the Halo we met but now it’s changed for the worse. We keep playing in the hopes that things will improve but we just keep getting hurt. Yet still we can’t let go because of that singular hope we might see and play the Halo we once knew and loved.
Maybe Halo will change again for the better; but at this point it seems like we may have to let go and either accept our new role as the subservient masses forced to play whatever unimaginative content 343 decides to give us or stop playing Halo altogether and move on to a better, more gentle and caring game.
Pleas Halo! Come back to us and be a game we can utterly love again!
