343 made Halo into a generic fps with gimmicks as evident by loadouts in H4 and aim down sights in H5G. Unlike Bungie where they added fresh ideas, 343 copied it’s competitors. Even if you disagree, why did Ryan McCaffrey state that aim down sight was added to grab modern fps gamers (in which many are into COD and Battlefield games)? 343 ruined Halo and disappointed about 60-75% of old school Halo fans. I like change, not copying other games and claim that you are better when you indeed took influence of another game. H5G is simply COD AW but inferior since you have less weapons to use, thus less variety. You also cannot vote a map so the game is basically another fps but with a dose of communism except it becomes ridiculous and a contradiction in Warzone where those who spend more will likely win. That is anarcho communism and many agree that is a laughable system.
I wanted 343 to succeed but they have clearly demonstrated that they can’t innovate and don’t care about Halo fans (343 even ruined the lore due to H5G disappointing campaign as they falsely advertised it and gave every character poorly scripted lines). They even got developers during the production of H4 that didn’t like Halo. Let that sink in. I am sure that I thoroughly explained why the games disappointed me (especially the mess that is MCC). H6 will likely be no different and to this day I only got every 343 game used because they don’t deserve profit when they make inferior COD clones (H4 and H5). There is no point in copying or stealing mechanics of a game when they have less a variety of weapons and strip out other features that they have like perks. If I want to play a casual twitch shooter, I rather just play COD. However H5G adds insult to wounds of those that were disappointed with 4 by claiming that H5G multiplayer takes skill and is very competitive when the game has unlimited sprint, a fast or quick time to kill, and spartan abilities that already make the game too complex, fast paced, and random. It is a chaotic mess and is no way intended to play competitively or serious. If I am wrong, why are your stats on the social or unranked playlist counted or recorded just like the competitive or ranked playlist? Also there is bullet magnetism so accuracy is irrelevant now.
Halo used to be a fun competitive science fiction fps game that embraced itself for what it is. 343’s Halo games made Halo have an identity crisis since it is called Halo and has it’s weapons but it has COD’s elements like aim down sights, hit scan bullet magnetism, double jump like Advanced Warfare as well as dash or side boost, and unlimited sprint like Destiny. Halo has been modernized for the sake of being more modern to grab newcomers but that clearly failed due to low sales. I don’t care if you enjoyed the game. It doesn’t change the fact that many Halo fans felt that the game didn’t deliver compared to its predecessors (even when compared to H4 since H5 is drastically different to the point where many don’t consider it a Halo game but more like COD). Facts > feelings. Even the sales support my claims so any attempts to debate me would be futile and not worthwhile. Every game has a flaw but 343’s Halo games has more flaws than Bungie’s Halo games. There is numerous evidence. You may tell me to take off my nostalgia goggles and adapt to H5G but I tell you to look at H5G sales and other Halo Youtubers like THE ACTMAN, Favyn, GLL, and the fans that have a similar voice of frustrations with what 343 has done to Halo’s story, multiplayer, and gameplay.
Bungie was successful because they destroyed the competition as evidence by H3 defeating COD 4 and others in player population during Halo’s reign on Xbox Live. Halo CE-3 changed the fps genre. 343 copied the fps genre from other games like COD. You can argue that Reach has sprint so my point is not valid but unlike COD, H4, and H5, it was an armor ability that you could switch with other armor abilities, thus it was not mandatory.
I provided constructive criticism quite eloquently. Does this satisfy your question? Simply disagreeing with me over objectivity will create no further desire for me to debate. Now I hope the mods don’t censor my comment because censorship over expression when it is clearly not offensive to anyone should never be tolerated and I will happily leave this website if such a thing happens. It also will show they are sensitive entitled snowflakes that can’t handle contrasting viewpoints.
