Halo Reach was disappointing to some people. Some people liked it, however others didn’t.
I personally did not like the multiplayer but right now I’m going to talk about the campaign of Reach and what 343i needs to do to avoid this.
The campaign was a huge disappointment for me… mainly in the way it lacked Large Scale Battles and a sense of Awesomeness. I never had the feeling of “HEY… I’m A BADASS” that I had felt other times in previous halo games.
Reach's campaign just didn't leave me w/ any epic moments. I always felt like i was fighting an insignificant battle that was away from the real fighting.. (ToTS.. really bungie??) In order for something to be epic you have to feel like what you're doing is significant.
Epic moments are usually accomplished through Large Scale Battles. Reach was said to have the ability to host 40 enemy A.Is w/ no problem.. yet I never remember a moment when there was more than 15-20 at one time.
Halo 4 needs large scale battles w/ significant actions (saving the universe for example).
343 has created a campaign that so far looks better than anything I could have dreamed for.. I'm just hoping they build on what previous games have accomplished and create the most Exciting Fun Filled Epic game of all time.
