Playing Halo 3 made me realize how awesome Halo 4 really is
I know these words are blasphemy on this forum, but I think Halo 4 is (here it goes) BETTER then Halo 3.
Let me preface this with letting you know I am not new to Halo. I've been playing religiously since Halo CE. I've been on Xbox live since Halo 2 dropped. I consider myself much better than average and have been on every Halo game.
So I popped in Halo 3 last night to join in this throwback weekend. The first thing that struck me was the graphics. I could not believe how much things have improved. The graphics, quite hontestly, sucked compared to 4. But this really means nothing, because it's all about game play.
This is where you'll all hate me. The game was too slow. The movement was awkward and clunky. And I SUCKED. Bad. My BR battles were horrible. I admit this probably contributes to my opinion, but it was very frustrating.
I think all the extras in Halo 4 (jetpack, promethean vision, thruster pack) add so many dynamics to the gameplay. It makes you account for so much more, which I think requires more skill for countering.
With all the talk here on how great Halo 3 was compared to 4, I just wanted to post this to see if there are others out there like me who think 4 is actually an improvement. I think people's nostalgia was clouding their judgement. Fact is, people hate change. And the internet is the place to bitch about. Being honest with yourself, what is your opinion now that you've played Halo 3 again for the event?
EDIT
Still butthurt over "Muh Old Halo" Flud?

Honestly, I find halo 3 too easy. I went back on it after not playing for a year and almost got an invincible in my first game, this is bearing in mind I used to have a negative k.d in the game. The AAs and other factors make the game more challenging and mentally stimulating, though ordnance drops really have to go.

You have shit taste and are the kind of gamer that is killing the industry.

Modifié par ZealotSG : 6/10/2013 6:46:57 AMDynamics... yeah I guess so. But it's still annoying having to counter Promethean Vision using another AA. I pretty much dislike this rock, paper, scissors approach. Some of my most fun H4 matches have been ones where players don't use that cheap stuff. And by cheap I don't mean plasma grenades, camo, or boltshots (all easy to anticipate), I mean: -Promethean Vision -Jetpack -Plasma Pistol (when will devs realize the overcharged shot does not belong in MP? Bungie giving it ability to EMP vehicles in H3 extended it's life :/) I also dislike the following power weapons: -Sticky Detonator -Needler -SAW -Scattershot

BR was really clunky in H3, especially coming from H2's hitscan BR. I hated it, but it was the gun to use. I've also pretty much gotten used to sprint in FPS's. Any game without that psychological satisfaction seems too slow. But I think a lot of the extras in H4 take more away from gameplay than they add, even though there are more fireworks on screen.

3 commentairesI prefer Halo 3 for a number of reasons. 1: It's made by Bungie. This may sound broad but I have never met a Bungie product that I don't like. The graphics at the time were epic. 2: Smooth gameplay. Not sure if it's 60fps or 30fps but it definitely feels like 60fps. 3: Community. During the Halo 3 days, there was a massive Halo community, and arguably one of the best. There was at least 200,000 people online per day. Halo 4 is lucky to have 50,000. Just my opinions.

[quote]I think people's nostalgia was clouding their judgement. Fact is, people hate change.[/quote]This is not and never will be an argument. This is a move people pull when they see people who think an older game is better than a more recent one.

Theres a reason you sucked with the BR. Halo 4 has so much aim assist cyclops with no depth perception could get a 5 shot. Halo 3 actually REQUIRED you to aim on target as opposed to just getting in the vicinity. Halo 4 is a joke in terms of the aim assist.
-
1 commentaireOk? You're comparing 6 year old graphics to 6 month old graphics. What does that have to do with anything? Also bringing up the fact that you aren't good with the BR in Halo 3 doesn't help either. You're basically saying the game sucks because you suck at it. None of this makes a convincing case as to why Halo 4 is better. And all of the "extras" you claim make Halo 4 superior are just a means for people to either run from fights or cheat by seeing through walls. "Fact is, people hate change". Your post pretty much said you can't handle the change of going back to a game without sprint. The concept works both ways. Don't tell other people they can't handle change when you yourself get irritated by slower movement because you've gotten used to sprinting.

I don't think it's improvement, it's just different.

1 commentaireModifié par nightspark : 6/2/2013 4:47:37 PMYou only played 240 games in H3. Which means you were garbage at it, and that's why you like Halo 4.
-
It's always good to have opinions but I just can't agree with you on this one. Firstly you start off with declaring that a game from 2012 has better graphics than a game from 2007, as if this was a revelation. Secondly you said something about Halo 4 being good.

4 commentairesHalo 4 trashes absolutely everything that the original trilogy's multiplayer was about.
-
3 commentairesI've loved every game except for odst and I slightly enjoyed halo wars (if that counts). On a bungie forum though you're bound to catch some crap for having something nice to say about 4.
-
2 commentaireshalo 4 = worst halo game... even worse then odst.

3 commentaires[quote]I think people's nostalgia was clouding their judgement. Fact is, people hate change.[/quote] Just let Kamiyama explain.

I enjoyed Halo 3 and Halo Reach more than Halo 4, but I don't think it's a bad game.
-
-
I think most of my enjoyment of H3 stemmed from the endless Customs and Matchmaking and the friends I made in those times. I wasn't that good at the actual game itself, whereas I'm pretty awesome at H4.
-
-
In some ways, I agree. Even with Reach everything felt a bit more refined, so coming back to Halo 3 could be difficult sometimes. Even so, Halo 4 just isn't anywhere near as much fun.
-
How can anyone like the graphics in Halo 4? There is so much visual noise and unnecessary detail, combined with the aliasing the game puts so much strain on my eyes it is literally painful to play.

*facepalm*

Sounds like you were just bad at the old halos and needed 343 to hold your hand. Lol!

6 commentairesOP, what is wrong with you?

3 commentairesHalo 2 and Reach had the best multiplayer, and Halo 3 had the best custom games. Halo 4 is just shit. I bought it, beat the campaign in like six hours, played a few very boring and repetitive hours of Spartan Ops, and played multiplayer for a few weeks until I realized it was not going to get better. Have not touched it in like six months.
