I think his point in saying it isn't a real shooter anymore is that everything in the game except bosses die faster to melee than they do to gunfire, combine that with the fact that there is literally nothing difficult about this game aside from getting 6 people on the same page. If you can complete the entire campaign, meleeing every non boss enemy (and even some of them chumps) to death with fewer than 5 deaths through the whole thing, something is seriously wrong. When playing the campaign I felt like I was playing Halo CE on easy for that shield mark on the levels again. Enemies devastated by punches, standing on your grenades and looking at you while you slow walked up to them and punched the entire army down. It was an Interactive Movie, not a game, and it was quite boring.
