also what is the huge gameplay changes between the Halo games

note: im not saying they have non, as i have not played halo, im merely wanting to know what constitutes enough gameplay changes to warrent a good game to you.


I don't want to get into your overall debate but there have been some significant evolutions in Halo gameplay over the years, some people have liked others they didn't.  These are just some examples so you get the general idea and it isn't even including multiplayer changes just core gameplay differences:

For example:

In Halo 2 they introduced the dual wield option which allowed you to have more firepower at the expense of melee and grenades.  This also allowed you to be tactical in your mix of guns for example so you could have a plasma weapon to strip shields then a ballistic weapon to cause more damage to the flesh of an enemy.

In Halo 2 they introduced the ability to board vehicles that were nearby and occupied by an enemy

Halo 2 introduced the Arbiter character which had cloak ability

Halo 2 changed from a hit point healtyh bar to a regenerating health system with the health bar not displayed.

Halo 3 added two handed power weapons that produced movement penalties while also fully rebalancing all weapons.

Halo 3 introduced quipment such as the ancillary bubble shield, lifts, decoys, etc

ODST completely changed the gameplay by having you play as a new character with less emphasis on tanking and more on stealth and tactically taking down superior enemy numbers.

Reach added armour bonuses such as sprint, jet packs, armour lock, etc

Reach regressed back to the old non regenerating health in keeping with the armour properties of the first game

Reach gameplay was balanced to be more in line with the original Halo Combat Evolved.

Reach changed up the core single player gameplay to introduce some new vehicles we hadn't used before also.

 

From the above you might gather Halo is actually one of the worst games series you could have signified as not changing from game to game as there has always been a push from Bungie to evolve the series and build on their success.  That's what good studios do of course and Naughty Dog are no exception has your very thorough list showed ealier.

 

you got it wrong, he was the one who mentioned halo. so i was wondering what changed about it, not because i didnt think it changed, but because i didnt know what did.

also i was more talking the changes between reach and 3. and it seemed most of the evolution of the series happened in the earlier games, which is to be expected.

but my point was, that uncharted 3 has added some of the most new things between entries in the series than most any other series.

and to call it a copy and paste rehash after a 4 minute trailer of Drake fighting guys while falling out of a burning crashing planes, is idiotic. and it is clear that, he has put little to no time in playing the Uncharted series

I apologise for saying "you" in reference to mentioning Halo, I should have probably used a more generic term such as "Halo is one of the worst examples of unchanging gameplay".  I figured you probably didn't play much Halo so wouldn't know how it had changed a lot over time hence why I gave you a quick update on the sort of advances made and why he might seem to thing ther was more or less than he is assuming is happening with Uncharted.  In fairness I mentioned single player as that seemed to be the other guys focus but there was actually a lot more changes between Reach and 3 in the multiplayer side.  There was big evolutions in the Forge map editor, more online modes, Firefight got added.  There was other changes too but you get the general idea that I was more talking big general gameplay differences across the single player game rather than the numerous evbolutions the online has made in Halo.

I'm not disagreeing that Uncharted 3 is going to build on the previous game with some significant tweaks, it is actually my most anticipated game after Gears 3.  That's really saying something as I'm a huge Assassins Creed and Mass Effect fan too.  I dare say I'd go as far as to say it was worth buying my PS3 just for the Uncharted games alone I enjoyed them so much .  I would like more of the same as Uncharted 2 but I have every faith that come play time anything they've tweaked will be to add to the experience.

As for the last sentence I was just giving you some guidance on what sorts of changes Halo has gone through I really don't want to get involved in saying who is right or wrong as I don't actually think it matters in the grand scheme of things.  When you've been here a while you kind of learn to just go meh and move on as you can't convince some people to see a different viewpoint or understand yours.
