I’m bummed. The multiplayer doesn’t feel any different really, if anything it’s kinda out of place. Yes, i enjoy the faster movement, but with the physics in reach it makes your guy too speedy with no weight to the movement. Halo C.E was a much faster game than it’s sequels but it still had a weight to the movement.
The pistol is probably the biggest disappointment. What a let down. It’s just the Reach pistol with more damage to make it a three shot, it doesn’t zoom in far, the range is not there, and of course it sounds like crap just like everything in Reach (besides the DMR, that sounds nice). It’s utterly nonsense that they would even consider trying to sell us on this thing. It’s betrayal at the highest level… they should have imported Halo C.E MP entirely, it’s B.S they didn’t.
The only thing worthwhile here is the map pack which just shines a glaring light on how utterly worthless the map designers of Halo were after Halo 2. Did they fire everyone? what happened after Halo 2 that they could no longer come up with amazing maps. Halo Reach has the worst collection of maps ever and this shows it.
God, I hope 343i delivers on Halo 4, I really do because if they don’t, i honestly think Halo might be forever relegated to the bottom of the Xbox Live list.
Oh well, I’m enjoying the remastered campaign. I’m just retiring my multiplayer Halo coat for now… perhaps I’ll pick it up if H4 looks promising. If not that’s K. I’ve still got Quake 3 :]
> is it that hard to understand? CEA MP IS A REACH MAP-PACK! OF COURSE ITS GOING TO FEEL LIKE REACH!
yeah, i was hoping, and from what i was reading, they made it seem like they got it somewhat close to the experience. they didn’t get no where near it.
frankly, it’s kind of insulting they even attempted to sell us on it. Not bringing over C.E’s multiplayer was a deal breaker for most people and they should have just kept it at that. There was no need for any attempting at giving us a C.E experience when it was never going to be. The maps are nice, really nice. Just give us a dedicated playlist with bloom modified to 85% and that’s it.Done.
I hope 343 pays close attention, close close attention, and realizes the mistakes bungie made and learns from other shooters out there that have gobbled up their fan base.
People wanted Halo 2 to be C.E online. They didn’t get that. Yet, the goodwill was not lost because Halo 2 turned out to be a pretty damn good MP game but after the water downed experience of Halo 3, and Reaches admirable but failed attempt at doing something different it’s time for 343 to step back and realize what made the MP the one to beat.
