Ugh. So he wants it to be like every other shooter. Adding iron sights is also not a good idea for the gameplay halo delivers. Not all mechanics work for every game style. It would just ruin it.

Lol...not a bad thread.

Thankfully, his (the EGM guy's) opinion can and will be disregarded.


Awful shit. If there is anything Halo needs then it's to keep its open environments.

This is one of those times when a opinion is wrong.

What did the EGM reviewer mean by "Halo should have big-ticket sequences"?

Haven't played Halo 4 yet so don't know if theguy has any valid complaints but it mostly sounds like he wants Halo not to be Halo. Thelast thing the industry needs at the moment its even more games being more alike.

Quick time events and/or highly scripted sections that end with big explosions

Well Halo is holding on to some pretty old fashioned gameplay mechanics. You gotta realize that.....but that's what people like about Halo I guess. 

I think the only reason they don't go more COD-style with the gameplay, is because they know they can't do it better...and they're right. Stick to the formula that works for you.

Kids are growing up with Call of Duty, and I expect to see future Halo games get critisized even more for this.(from both critics and gamers) Call of Duty gameplay is the standard these days. People need to accept that.

Don't get your COD in my Halo.

It's not the score, but the reasons why he gives the score. If he had real problems with the game like, too short, glitchy, bad story,  etc. that would be fine, but he's complaining about what makes Halo, Halo. It's a bad review, plain and simple.
