Pacing, game play, set pieces, enemy AI, level design, etc. i mean does/will this game really get people to like it again. when i bought medal of honor last year, it came with Medal of Honor: frontlines, a good game for its time (i reallize that Halo was still better). i played and beat it for the trophies but i was shocked at how dated it played. modern shooters have advanced tremendously since then. the original Killzone (im using this because i still own it) was great to me at the time (though it got average at best reviews) but i tried playing it before the launch of Killzone 3 (the best shooter of this gen) and i couldnt complete it, it was too dated. games change, advance. i think pretty much one of the only games that still are acceptable today is God of War, and even that game you know is old for reasons other than the graphics. i realize this is a very "hardcore" website, so there are gamers that play old games and love them, and think to themselves what have game standard gone to. they play their psone era RPGs (perhaps another genre that still are fine by todays standards). but it seems as though shooters really dont age gracefully... So what im saying is though lots of people on this site will love it, dont you think the average gamer will resent it after the initial hype of release. i think legs would die quickly because to them modern shooters are a lot better. this is just my opinion, feel free to disagree |
Thing is halo CE is as playable and as brilliant as reach. Level design, ai, etc. Playing the original now is in many respects better than the new halos. Its a freak game for its time. Its so modern for halo today. It works because there is no other shooter remotely like halo. Both in mechanics and in art.
