In Response To: Re: Upset with Halo2 gameplay? You're not alone. L (Achronos)
: Sigh. The funny thing is, we can go around and around. The fact of the matter
: is that they are two different games. Halo 1 has a frankly broken weapons
: balance in multiplayer, but some like it that way because it is a known
: quantity. Halo 2 levels the playing field by making the weapons much more
: balanced. I like that better. Mostly because I can count the number of
: times I've been dropped within 1 second of my spawn on one hand. In Halo
: 1, that basically was the game - deny your opponent the ability to do
: ANYTHING but die.
: But, whatever. Don't play Halo 2 then. I'm rather proud of the game, and the
: multiplayer works. I think it is GOOD that you have to rely on multiple
: skillsets rather than a single skill to win (being good with one weapon
: won't help unless you can work as a team). Frankly, most other people seem
: to believe that too.
: The "elites" of MLG (please stop calling yourselves that) are
: naturally going to resist change to anything (except having new maps).
: That's because you guys have worked hard at your Halo 1 skills. That's
: cool. But that doesn't mean Halo 2 is a bad game. It means you need to
: learn a new game, or stay with the old one. Please leave whatever
: justification you have for why you think the new game is bad at home - I'm
: betting it probably boils down to "I don't like it because it is
: different than Halo 1". That's not a bad thing. You'll say, "but
: Halo 1 was perfect", and that's not true. Halo 2 isn't perfect
: either, but I think the multiplayer is definately more fun.
: -Tom
Tom is being very reasonable here and spot on in his observations. Not bad for a code monkey. :)
