Just a few facts/correct opinions

  • The ai is far dumber than previous titles.
  • The weapons are less balanced than previous titles (personaly i think the boltshot is fine. im more concerned with certain weapons being too weak)
  • The player customises his classes and needs to unlock and buy things for his classes
  • No firefight
  • significantly less custom games options

the fantasy elements of Bungie’s halo were far more grounded than that of 343. Bungie had plasma technologies, slipspace, aliens and cryonics. 343 has an ancient evils, prehistoric human empires, solid light doing all sorts of ridiculous things that you wouldn’t expect to happen, a united nations force composed entirely of one nation and an irish girl,nanites, long forgotten covenant colonies and who knows what other -Yoink-.

  • Half of the covenant has been removed. The remaining covenant have a radicaly different apearance for no good reason.
  • Certain art assets are retextures of reach things (banshee, wraith,ghost,needler etc) they look worse.
  • There’s no plasma rifle for the covenant. That’s like the chinese without rice or noodles.
  • Lot’s of things are changed just for -Yoink- and giggles. The Halo 4 marine doesn’t look like a halo marine anymore. The pelican doesn’t look like the pelican. The shotgun doesn’t look like a halo shotgun.
  • spartans look less like spartans and far more like generic super soldiers from other sci-fi.

There was no point to the overwhelming majority of these changes and realy it just took effort away from parts of the game that did need work on.

If this was a suggestion list posted just after one of bungies halo games you would have all gone ballistic.

Lets say we are changing things and innovating halo by copying COD. Something Halo fans don’t want.

343I are cod fans who started playing Halo when reach released!

“- The weapons are less balanced than previous titles (personaly i think the boltshot is fine. im more concerned with certain weapons being too weak)”.

I don’t see this personally. Some are too strong, the others are fine. If they were all that strong we may as well play SWAT all the time.

Americans without serious racism and supremacy issues, along with severe general and cultural ignorance.

We can all make crass, unnecessary comments like this or we can all back off, so let’s just back off.

You have assumed I am American, which has done nothing but revealed your own ignorance.

> 343 has an ancient evils,

As if the Gravemind and Flood were not an ancient evil in their own rights.

> prehistoric human empires,

What is wrong with that?

> solid light doing all sorts of ridiculous things that you wouldn’t expect to happen,

Sure it is odd how hardlight is being used for basically everything now…but is that really a problem? No.

> a united nations force composed entirely of one nation and an irish girl

Uh…what?

> nanites

So powered armor and freezing people is perfectly fine, but nanotechnology, of which is being worked on now and would likely be improved 500 years from now, is?

> long forgotten covenant colonies and who knows what other Yoink!.

They weren’t lost colonies, they just don’t have many ties with Sanghelios and as such don’t have much contact. Now there are reasons I think that notion is ridiculous, but their mere existence isn’t bad.

> - Half of the covenant has been removed. The remaining covenant have a radicaly different apearance for no good reason.

Those that were removed were of the Loyalist type and would not work with a Neo Covenant headed by the Elites. The new designs are pretty wack though.

> - Certain art assets are retextures of reach things (banshee, wraith,ghost,needler etc) they look worse.

Eh, they didn’t look all that bad to me.

> - There’s no plasma rifle for the covenant. That’s like the chinese without rice or noodles.

Storm Rifle does it’s job better, but the option of having it would be nice.

More or less agree.
