[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Dr Syx [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] General Heed Didn't they try that in Halo: Reach though with a classic playlist and later the Halo Anniversary playlists? As I recall, it didn't turn out so great...[/quote]There's a few major differences here: 1. Bungie didn't put the playlist out on release. 2. It was community created with community developed maps using Forge. While this isn't necessarily a bad thing in terms of how well it played (It actually played VERY well in my opinion) a lot of people didn't gravitate towards it because of the amount of Forge World maps. 3. There are things in Reach that are hard coded in that break a lot of the classic feel. One [i]major[/i] thing was the strafe inertia where you're stopped for a second when trying to strafe back and forward. That sort of stuff really messes with the feel. The faster movement speeds also felt "floaty" because the game wasn't designed with it in mind as default. In Halo 4, there will be tools to create a truly classic feel. Faster default movement speeds that won't feel floaty, higher jump height by default, [i]many[/i] more weapons to work with, much better strafing, etc. If 343 Industries has a playlist [i]from launch[/i] that has more of a classic feel without custom loadouts, instant respawn, etc. then it's more likely that people will gravitate to it. If people don't, the Halo community is filled with absolute hypocrites for complaining right now. ":D" (By the way, the Anniversary Classic Playlist isn't doing bad. I play on it often when I get on Reach. I don't know where you got the idea that playlist isn't doing well.)[/quote] I didn't think it was doing well because a lot of the Halo 3 and Halo Reach forums are filled with threads about how Halo: Reach sucks or how 343 is going to screw up Halo 4 and how many playlists in Halo: Reach suck and so on. I actually never personally played the Anniversary playlist. I never even bothered to use the code in my Halo anniversary game to download the map packs (not that I'd need to anyways). I quit playing Halo: Reach awhile ago, I got fed up with it. The only Halo game I play nowadays is Halo 3. Occasionally I'll play Halo 2 Vista, but xbox-wise, Halo 3 is the only Halo game I play. I actually still get enjoyment out of playing campaign. There's really only a few missions I can still play for fun, but overall, the campaign of Halo 3 has great replay-value in my world.
