In Response To: My Thoughts on the Halo Series (Gravemind) : My Thoughts on the Halo Series: An Open Letter to Bungie : This letter contains all my opinions on the Halo series thus far. It is one
: If you wish to comment, well, that's why I put it here. If you agree with all
: If you disagree, which I'm sure some of you will, then feel free to offer
: Regards, : Gravemind It's just another one of those Halo:CE> Halo 2 'cause it's not Halo:CE things. You listed how they're different, but I'm not convinced the changes have made the game worse off. The things you complained about, like spray and pray and lunging, and lack of fall damage, the tweaking of grendaes, seems to be you not adjusting to the newer gameplay. You can also lunge, spray and fall without taking damage, it's not some sort of imbalance. You just haven't learned to take these things into account. You sound like someone who bitterly struggles every game because his pistol isn't giving him a three hit kill, his opponents can't be killed by falling on solid ground, and you haven't gotten the hang of meleeing. The formula of the game hasn't changed, it's still a FPS with a good shield system, a good crouch system, the ability to hold two weapons, the ability to hold eight grenades. It's the same basic game with no drastic changes to speak of. All the little gameplay tweaks are there to attract casual gamers and the like. In all seriousness, I can't imagine what you people wanted Halo 2 to be like. Did you seriously imagine it'd be Halo:CE with a graphic update? That wouldn't be worth the retail cost. You also seem uneducated about the design process of Halo 2's multiplayer, as you make a criminally high number of presumptions about bungie in that write-up of yours. This is just one big summation of ignorance, if someone wanted to learn why someone put "halo2sucks.com" then this is a good place to start reading. At least the first few paragraphs anyways. |
