I LAN’ed Halo CE today at my school and I was playing with our club sponsor(math teacher) and we both noticed something with the game play. My club sponsor is a COD player now(enter sad face) but we both mention how that in Halo CE fast kill times were there you just needed the skill to pull it of. He prefers COD now because of the fast paced game play, but he still plays for skill. His terms of skill include killing people at a fast rate(like in COD) but in the case of Halo CE fast kill times are due to good amounts of skill, which he finds vastly rewarding more so than in COD. In the 45 minutes of Playing Halo CE again he became a true Halo player again.
The purpose in this story is that for in Halo 4 kill times should be fast but a person must need the appropriate amount of skill to make those fast timed kills happen. Know that fast kill times are there will make players strive to be better at the game to get those fast kill times. This increases the replay value as well, just look at COD in terms of skill there isn’t must to get better at so thats why people go crazy for every new COD game that gets released every year.
