Re: The Technical Superiority of the Halo series

In Response To: The Technical Superiority of the Halo series (Mothergoat)

What annoys me about Halo 2 more than anything else is the amount of things that are inconsistent/bad/annoying, at the same time as there are tons of things that are absolutely perfect. It's like two teams worked on two different parts of the game.

For example:
Being able to actually drive the wraith is absolutely brilliant, and I really wish I had been able to in Halo 1, but not being able to use secondary fire annoys the hell out of me.

There are a lot of intances like this - I wouldn't lose boarding for the world, and the missing boost on covie vehicles in Halo 1 is killing me, dual-wielding and swords are great additions to the weapon balance.
But then there's the part tha feels like it's not made by bungie - Invisible walls, insta-death, no fall damage.

It's the utter polish of the good features that makes the annoyances extremely noticeable. (I think this shows the time-shortage they were experiencing - they could only implement/polish half the new features. Damn graphics-fixation...)
