This game is very much not Halo. Just look at this video. They've introduced ADS with LT as the new zoom, ruined the iconic voice over of Halo multiplayer, and taken aspects from other shooters to try to "progress" and "adapt to a new audience." 343 has taken many things that have made Halo unique and has thrown it all away. Halo was iconic for its method of scoping, however 343 has decided to trash what made Halo especially unique and add in the ADS that every other game has. Another thing that made Halo iconic was armor abilities. Ever since Halo 3 had the pseudo, one-time-use armor abilities they became a big part of the game in Reach, and they lived on in Halo 4, only now without sprint, which became a permanent feature, bubble shield, or armor lock which was terribly overused in reach. 343 even added in many new AA's like the shield, Promethean Vision, and the auto turret. Now in Guardians that's so far all gone. There is a single armor ability (it may only be the BETA but at this point you'd assume there to be many more) and it's a variation of Evade/Thruster Pack that is similar to the Titan Fall and CoD: AW thruster features. This ground pounding thing is entirely confusing as well, where did this come from? It seems like a strange turn in gameplay for Halo. So far what has been shown in the BETA is a disappointment. I don't know what 343 was thinking. This might just be the BETA, but this game is not looking good, at least for me. 343 might have felt the need to change and try to be drastically new, but honestly that doesn't work. Just look at the CoD games. The subtle changes that had been implemented game to game has previously always been (mostly) welcome, but they were always [i]fairly[/i] unique to Halo. Halo 5 feels like it's trying too hard to be like other FPS's in order to appeal to a wider audience. Anyways, rant over. Feel free to discuss Halo 5: Guardians in the comments. Please feel free to tell me your thoughts.
