Seriously, now. Did the original trilogy's formula need all that much change? Was there anything particularly [u]wrong[/u] with the multiplayer? As clichéd as this may sound, maybe Halo [b]didn't need change.[/b] Halo 3 was great(and more importantly, fun) enough with just a few new weapons and vehicles. Equipment brought about new strategies and mixed up battles enough without completely compromising the way the core gameplay functioned. What about a new Halo with just interesting new weapons, vehicles, and items? As a refresher, here's what Halo 3 brought to the table: [spoiler]Spartan Laser Gravity Hammer Brute Spiker Mauler Spike Grenades Firebomb Grenades Plasma Cannon Missile Pod Flamethrower Hornet Mongoose Brute Chopper Prowler Elephant Bubble Shield Power Drain Regenerator Trip Mine Invincibility(SP) Deployable Turret(SP) Invisibility(SP)[/spoiler] Was that seriously not enough content for a sequel? Games like Halo 4 just offer a slew of generic weapons and abilities. Nothing interesting whatsoever. Not to mention, Halo 3 gave us what are now considered staples of Halo - Forge and Theater.
