Re: So I guess it is going to be "Call of Halo."
Posted By: ArchedThunderDate: 4/7/12 1:58 a.m.

In Response To: So I guess it is going to be "Call of Halo." (Gravemind)


: Halo 4's MP is sounding like it'll be classic Halo in the only the most
: general sense, and even then only barely. Having to purchase gear like
: armor abilities is totally antithetical to how Bungie always approached
: game balance. Random weapon spawns just makes things, well, more random.
: There goes any notion of map and resource control. I wonder if that
: affects customs as well; if it does, that means no Forging weapon spawns
: either. No Elites in MP is just lame, considering we've had that option
: since November 2004. As for non-gameplay, elements, I'm totally not
: digging the new art style. The Elites are just fugly.

: I made a post a little while ago saying that there are only two games that
: I'd definitely buy new this year, but this information isn't giving me
: anything good to say about 343I's approach to Halo. Ever since the TU, I
: always got the feeling that 343I had a totally different mindset from
: Bungie on matters of gameplay. This just confirms it for me. Despite their
: protestations to the contrary, 343I seems like they're just making a COD
: clone that just happens to be set in the Halo-verse. I really, really,
: really hope that my fears will turn out to be unfounded, but I doubt it.
: I'll still get the game for the Campaign, but based on what I've heard
: from the GI article, I don't see myself bothering with the multiplayer. If
: they announce a "Classic" game mode that still has the tradition
: Halo approach to balance, with everyone having access to all the same gear
: right from the get-go and weapons spawn in regular locations, then I could
: give it a chance, but the announced changes mark the single biggest change
: to Halo MP ever, and I don't like what I hear. At least I'll still have
: Reach.

: Oh, and no Firefight = Fail. Seriously, that Campaign better wow the hell out
: of me, or I'm done with Halo.
I agree with everything you just said.
