Well I bought the game and played online, even though I said I wouldn’t. I had to try it. I have to say, the guns and abilities are cool but the style is just not Halo anymore. Wow, it’s so much like Call of Duty. Gone is the strategy of knowing your enemies weapons and ammo count. And why even crouch anymore? It’s just a run and game style game now. I had fun, but I’m really going to miss Halo. I’d much rather play classic Halo than Call of Duty style. I really do not like at all how games are won on a points system rather than simple kill count. Again, don’t get me wrong, the game is good fun. I’m just saying it’s not really Halo anymore. It’s all about making a one size fits all game these days.
To be honest, I think most if not all complaints about this game boil down to two things. The first ordinance drops and the second is everyone being spawned with dmr, br etc. Everyone is always complaining about playing against “tryhards”. Well what do you expect? Everyone is playing to win and of course going to use the utilitarian weapons the most. Seriously this is the most balanced halo I have ever played where everyone is playing like a good player. Isn’t that a good thing?
Truth. Im having a lot of fun playing it, but Space Warz or something like that would be a more appropriate title. Halo died with Bungie.
I think the last reply hits the nail on the head. I said a couple of times I was having fun, but Halo this is not.
