After watching the “First Look” trailer I could only sit in disgust to see what 343 is doing to the franchise. While the game certainly looks very visually appealing, it doesn’t seem to have much to offer after that. First off the Master Chief doesn’t look anything like he should. Sure they are trying to make him seem like some bad–Yoink- super hero with a “new” and functional look, but he isn’t functional or a super hero, he’s just lucky. I don’t play Halo because I want to play a game that looks functional. In addition with this they want to explore his character and his humanity in the game. I personally preferred the Master Chief being that robot we all have come to know over the past 10 years, doing this will kill his atmosphere that Bungie developed. Not only are they completely changing the Chief but are adding a reason why “Spartan IV’s” are fighting one another. I honestly would rather just not have reason than a bad one. While it’s not appropriate at the moment to speculate the writing of the game I will say that the game already seems to have bad writing. ’ The Chief is fighting an enemy by the likes that he’s never faced before, like i’ve never heard that one before '. Jumping back to changing the look of the Chief, I wouldn’t have an issue with it if they simply just did what Bungie did from Halo CE to Halo 2, work it into the story. If they can work a reason for multiplayer to even exist, they could have figured out a way that he magically got new amour. At the moment I will not let this “First Look” make me not want to buy the game, however it certainly did not convince me the game is worth buying. 343 still has some time to show that they are going to make a half descent game through applications like a better forge ,theater, firefight, and additional features that would make the game worth buying; a complete map editor of firefight and multiplayer would personally be my selling point. As of right now, to respond to Frank O’Conner’s comment regarding what to keep and what to through out, you just threw out Halo in the eyes of this fan.
