In Response To: Re: My thoughts on H4 (Rockslider)


: I suppose it's inevitable that I'm going to have a different view, bearing in
: mind that to you Halo 2 stood out as "the defining Halo game"
: whereas I soon traded my copy back to the shop, so disappointed was I with
: its needless revisionism and the fact that half the gameplay was given
: over to another character entirely. Poor old Arby - I've had it in for him
: ever since!

: My own reaction to the H4 trailer is that I'm entirely happy to see MC
: getting back into action, and I'm also happy that it's apparently starting
: by encountering a ruddy great object in space. After all, that turned out
: pretty nicely the first time around! There's no telling how things are
: going to turn out this time, but if it involves a seriously long
: campaign in which we play as MC and in which there are no annoying
: unkillable squad-mate characters tagging along, that would be an ideal
: starting point for me. Basically, I'd love to get back to the more
: intimate feel of H1. The feel of going on a long personal adventure. To my
: mind, the potential of H1 gameplay and atmosphere was never properly
: exploited. We got just the one game's worth of top quality goodness, and
: then it was lost. So if 343 at least tries to get back to basics, that
: would be fine by me.

Valid points, most of which I can agree with. A return to the simplicity of CE would be welcome at the start of a new trilogy. However, it doesn't look like that's going to happen quite honestly. It looks like it's just going to 'continue the trend'.

I know I can't really say much until more details are announced, so I'm just kinda patiently waiting for Pax...
