Re: Why i wont be buying HCEA *article*
Posted By: katancik <zkatancik@gmail.com>Date: 6/8/11 9:06 p.m.

In Response To: Why i wont be buying HCEA *article* (RC Master)

I completely agree. You perfectly wrote everything I was thinking. Times have changed. Physics engines have changed, gameplay has changed, user-friendliness has changed, and features have been added. These things all for the better. The only thing that has been done so far in CEA is added new graphics. I understand that quite a bit of effort goes into that, but the game itself doesn't run any new code. It uses Reach's graphics and CE's physics. All they had to do is retexture, redo some audio, add some new Easter eggs and call it a day. It seems like a bit of a lazy effort. If they added theater mode, player investments, and rally points then they could say "we made the original game added things you come to expect in the modern-day and made CE feel like a new game again." But they didn't.

I feel this way about a stand-alone multiplayer. I'm glad they are keeping with Reach's multiplayer. Once again, they are only changing graphics here. If I wanted to play CE online, I would simply turn on my computer. But I don't, because that experience is outdated and doesn't have the structure and player investment modern games have. It has nothing to do with how pretty the game looks.
