Re: A great but imperfect game | |
Posted By: Inky | Date: 12/1/04 9:57 p.m. |
In Response To: A great but imperfect game (FoolsRun) I have to say that while I agree with the immersion problems, there was another factor for me that played a part in the 'imperfection' of the game. I think most of us probably played Halo 1 TO DEATH. I know I was playing it frequently at LANs all the way up until Nov. 9. So, when Halo 2 came around, while it was fun to be in new locales with new enemies and new graphics, the control system and the feel of moving, aiming and shooting were all near-identical to Halo 1 - as a result, I wasn't as engaged by it as I was hoping to be. There was no jump-crouch to discover, no need to explore the most efficient ways of firing and reloading - I already knew it all from Halo 1. This is in no way a fault of Bungie... just an unfortunate side effect of playing so much Halo 1! So yeah, the game was very, very impressive, and I liked it a lot. I was hoping playing Halo 2 would be as good as playing Halo 1 for the first time, and it almost is... but I feel like I've hampered my enjoyment by playing endless hours of Halo 1! I just thought I'd throw that bone out there for people to naw on. |
