what i mean with this is the menu,armor just everything
in my opinion there should not be too much functions added to Halo 4,i mean halo 2 and halo 3 worked very well with its simplicity
ok there is a good addition to reach:the possibility to search for screenshots and clips even screenshots in which you appeared and as well the legacy
but in my opinion there were too much things in reach,i didnt even could navigate thorugh the menu at first when i came to reach after halo 3 cause i just felt “rushed” by these 10000 options
same thing with reachs armory,there are like 2000000 possible outfits for your spartan,spartans should fight and not be a model,knee protectors for s spartan seriously?
what about ellbow protectors? or shoes? or painting your fingernails? (be careful,sarcasm)
i think the possibility to change your helmet,chest and shoulders is enough
in Halo 3 we were just able to see the file share and the service record and thats it,in halo 2 we couldnt even do this and it was still really good
it should just not be like in reach that this wall of options just confuses you
btw:things which I THINK were no good additions:
1.for example the file sharing,it was really annoying to wait to watch a screenshot
2.assassinations:come on,spartans get shot,fell from space on earth but then they are dying because someone puts a knife in your back thorugh the “bulletproof armor” (sarcasm again)
3.recommendations,tooooooo much for halo as well as the 2million medals
you got medals in h3 and h2 if you did something special in reach you get a medal for walking through the map(irony)
look at the h2 medals:http://www.unlimitedgamer.net/coverage/halo2/halo2_medals.php
there were 20 medals,even h3 had too much i think,but it was ok cause infection and vip and so on were implemented
so 343 KEEP IT SIMPLE!
