The Halo franchise aint what it used to be....aint what it used to be....aint what it used to be... |
I bought my Xbox with Halo and it was glorious. Halo 2 followed and it was very validating. I became nostalgic years later when I saw youtube clips of Halo 3 so I picked up a 360 to play it and then eventually spent hours and hours playing multiplayer on Reach. The action was always good as gameplay is what sold me on these games. There was a disturbing trend to listen to the MLG folks and people who wanted a faster experience. Now that might be fun for some, but it wasn't fun for me. Is that what the majority wants? Is that where this franchise is destined? Perhaps the people making creative decisions are too close to the people who are keeping the books.

Not the majority, the minority. They balance out what the community wants with the pro gamers who actually excell and get paid to play their games. Games today have to be tweaked so newbs can enjoy the game, but pro's can still enjoy it. I thought reaches system was the worst, but I forgot about it in Halo 4. I'm glad Halo 5 looks like its going back moreso to the older way of doing things. Keeps it more competitive without any bull.

I still had fun playing Reach's multiplayer being sneaky, spoiling snipers and running people over in vehicles. I agree somewhat about the imbalance... but I'm gonna go ahead and stick a fork in this one.
Xbox was what it was because it had the most power of all the consoles when it was released. This 343 direction isn't a benefit to the franchise. I just know what I like and have moved on. I honestly hope people enjoy Halo 4,5, etc. and get the most out of their Xbox Ones, really I do.
