Im going to cut right to the chase; PLEASE REMOVE SPRINT, ALL OTHER ABILITIES, AND BRING BACK THE BATTLE RIFLE FROM HALO 2 OR 3. Also please bring back the multiplayer maps that people are familiar and nostalgic of like Lockout, Guardian, and Ascension. If it’s not broken don’t try to fix it. Just slap a new coat of paint on them and let my PC run it at an uncapped frame rate.
This is what the community wants. Just look at project <mark>REDACTED</mark>: fan-made classic halo on a mouse and keyboard & unlimited custom games made by the community (and its free). Then take a look at CS:GO, all they had to do was reboot the same classic game from back in the day, add in some rare skins and “boom” you have a competitive fps game that everyone loves. There is no way you can please the entire halo fanbase, but the large majority of us have left because the drastic change in gameplay from what made halo unique. Simple strafe, jump, and 4 shooting with battle rifles.
The halo of today is a farcry from what it was back in 2005, and that is not a good thing. Every fps game goes through stages of evolution, but halo has mutated from once being the pinnacle of the genre to a miserable call of duty/destiny clone. It is not fun to play anymore. Is it any surprise that after the addition of all the abilities from reach, halo 4, and halo 5, that the game is simply not competitive anymore. There is simply way too much movement, and way to many abilities. Not only that but the battle rifle shoots nothing like the gun i remember when I was young.
Please 343 take this opportunity to look at what old professional players have to say about the game and seriously consider a return to form for halo. I would pay $60 for a simple halo 2 or 3 remaster (master chief collection does not count, it was a complete broken mess at launch). I hope that halo infinity feels more like a classic halo game in the new slipspace engine, with familiar weaponry and maps, less abilities, and more shooting.
