Hi 343,
Here is an Honest Opinion on why I didn’t think this Demo did any Good.
#1 - The Story: Again didn’t seem that great or compelling - Now compare this to Halo 3 Demo or Halo 2 E3 Showings or hell even the
First showing of Halo by Apple way back in the day. Just this gameplay did not grab me as a big Halo Fan.
I hope the next showing you do better!
#2 - No Arbiter? or Coop Campaign? I was shocked you didn’t have the Arbiter show up by a second player joining in.
That would have sold many people!
#3 - Music - The Music seemed very off and surprised you didn’t go to Marty O’donnell who has said many many times that he would have gladly helped advise you with this game.
#4 - Better Content is needed - All Around this just doesn’t have that magic feeling that Halo was able to grab me.
What I would have done if I was directing this Demo?
I would have cut the character “spanish pilot guy” from the game. He was a little over the top and to me is not very like able.
Hope he isn’t the new character you play as. You can fix this! Make this Pilot Character like able and not too over the Top.
I would have blasted the music “Blow me Away” from Halo 2. Have more action in the Demo and show off different points in the game. (Demo went too slow) If this is all you have to show I worry about this game being ready for the Holidays.
Have better character designs and new creatures or enemy’s to fight besides the Banished" Have a bigger threat for Master Chief to Fight.
Bring the Hype and the Arbiter and go back and play the following games. Halo 2, 3, ODST - Reach! Then ask yourself this question.
Does it play as good?
