Omission of Iron Sights makes the gameplay feel dated?


It would for me. I use iron sights all the time. For you know.....accurate aiming.

Anyway, anyone find it odd that such a huge game gets its embargo lifted so early? It could easily backfire.....unless they paid off reviewers. There. I said it. I know we're all thinking it.



If you've played Halo, you'd realize how of place iron sights would be because of its arcade style.

In the Halo verse, Iron Sights is outdated and unnecesary.

You know, Spartans are biological upgrated with neurologics conections within their armor, to have a HUD that is way more efficient and accurate than iron sights. Hell, even some marines have their owns HUD's.

Also, isn't that rare, Reach reviews were released the Saturday before release. And more recently, Microsoft did the same with Forza Horizon. They are just confident in the success of the game, and so far, all the (big) games this year have been dissapointing.

Also, first review

NOT SURE IF IT CONTAINS SPOILERS, I DIDN'T READ IT.


Awesome post.

 

As far as the review, I scanned it looking for a score and didn't see one. Maybe it's there somewhere but I didn't see it.



I LOVE paying for Xbox Live! I also love that my love for it pisses off so many people.

Love the store. Specially that they DO ship outside US. Unlike Bungie Store. (Or they at least didn't shipped to Mexico. But 343i does!)

I really hope my hoodie and my t-shirt arrives before Tuesday, so I can wear them in my trip to buy Halo 4 LE :P

The iron sights thing is kind of moot on halo at this point.

I like other a lot other FPS's more than halo, but obviously it's a fundamental design change if they were to change it, and would cause halo fanboy rage if they did (probably).

Halo 4 is an emotional rollercoaster, an amalgam of epic scenes and memorable surprises with clockwork-perfect gameplay and a stunning artistic/technical production. The Halo everyone was waiting for.
