Halo 4 is Halo Reach (rant)

If you hated/dislsiked Halo Reach, what the hell is going to make you like Halo 4? Halo 4 basically has everything bad that Halo Reach has and more. Armor abilities [i]again[/i]? instant, but -blam!- and useless camp promoting camouflage? X-RAY vision? WTF? May as well just tear down all the walls in every map. And the only thing a jetpack does for you is gets you killed faster. In stead of being in view of 1 player, let the whole team see you: great! Well if you guys enjoy sprinting on command, whatever. SO much focus on the little dumb things nowadays. Infection gametypes is like the new MLG; there is so much emphasis on this [i]sideshow[/i]. Don't we want quality arena competitive slayer? Don't we want games where map control and team work are essential factors in matches? I swear since the release of Reach everything's been a one man show, encouraging people to give others the middle finger when asked to play cooperatively. Oh and sprint is one of the factors contributing to that. Again, this game is (like Reach) always focusing on how to boost your ego. Reach wanted to make you feel special with all of your little perks and armor abilities to help you play "the way you want." Not to mention all of the emphasis on cool shiny customizeable armors. It's been catering to kids, I swear. Halo 2 had it perfectly fine with just being able to change colors and species. Halo 3 had a limited set which was alright; back then Bungie didn't need to focus so much on trivial things like different visuals to keep their community entertained. [i]*cough competitive play cough*[/i] And can someone tell me where in the hell the flood is coming from? Clearly I missed something because last I heard Cortana told us the flood was wiped out. Not to mention they look completely retarded now. /endrant for now Edit: [b]A lot of people seem to defend armor abilities in that if they had been implemented differently, and/or had tweaks to them, they would have been a much more positive addition to the series' multiplayer aspect. I'd like an idea of these "changes" people keep refuting. [i]Convince the skeptics![/i][/b] [Edited on 10.09.2012 5:48 PM PDT]

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] shadow 2648 [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Ben2974 There was also an imaginary disclaimer! Obviously everything I said is based off speculation from examining what's offered in the game. I'm also not naive to accept what some guy who might have strong bias towards the series says about the upcoming video game which he played minutes of.[/quote] If you really want to mince words with me i have actually played a combine total of one hour and viewed over 7 hours of game play live from the perspective of multipul players in the same game. [/quote] You get the same experience playing a video game as you do watching someone play a video game? Interesting.
