My Open Letter to 343

How’s it going 343? I hope you guys are enjoying making halo xbox one.

Today I am going to keep it as short as I can. I want to bring a different perspective to Halo Xbox One. There are thousands of threads beside mine that are asking “should we keep the dmr” or “should h5 be like h2/h3”. In fact I have contributed to that list.

But today I want to do something different.

343, you showed a lot of ambition with Halo 4, I will give you that much. To try and reinvent the wheel without a studio and a limited time span shows that ambition quite well. But everyone knows that that ambition was severely misguided.
With Halo in the state it is in, this is more or less your last chance to make halo thrive again. You aren’t going to get fantastic release sales, preorders will be down, and reviews might be tainted with hate from Halo 4. But if you do it right, Halo can make a comeback.

We aren’t asking you to impress us with new fancy additions. Instead, we want you to impress us with the most polished Halo game ever produced. We want it to be perfect. If that means you only put in the BR and Pistol, but it creates the best Halo game of all time, so be it. If that means no weapon camos or armor customization, so be it. If that means only two playlists: Competitive Slayer and Casual Slayer, so be it. I don’t care where you take the multiplayer experience as long as it plays perfect; I can change to match a new style of gameplay a lot easier than you guys can change a game to fix mistakes.

I am going to end with a quote that sums up what I am trying to say. I hope that you guys take into consideration what I have said, but if you never read it or decide its not the direction for you, so be it.

“Simplicity is the ultimate form of sophistication.”
-Leonardo da Vinci

Jubs, that was beautiful. I could not agree more. Better to do something simple and do it well, then to try to do something complicated, with lots of flare, and add ons, and have it be clunky and unrefined.

If I were to sum up why I was so drawn to Halo in the first place in one word it would be this:

Smoothness

Very nice post OP, I agree all the way. The main gameplay should be focus more then the side stuff like graphics, armor change and such. Of course story as well as important as the gameplay.
