In Response To: You're insane. (Slimby)
i agree with all of this. especially the bit about the AI. and the feel of the weapons.
: Well, you must be. I agreed on nearly every point there. It sounded a bit
: like a "zomghal0 2 suxxored mek halo 3 lyk the 1st" rant, but I
: agree to that rant. And at least you weren't saying "Make Halo 1, but
: with extremely pretty graphics" because that's silly. You picked out
: what made Halo 1 great, for you and for others as well I'm guessing, and
: narrowed down what you wanted it to be. And what do I want it to be? Well,
: since you asked...
: Bring back the feel of Halo 1's weapons. I want a big, chunky massive
: smashing explosion from the Rocket Launcher, I want the AR to feel like
: it's smashing my shoulder apart when I fire it. I want a grenade to smash,
: flash and bang with an almost horrible fury to behold, where the damage
: doesn't just launch me into the air, it throws me into the air, blind from
: the pain and disoriented by the dust. When a rocket whirs past me, I don't
: want the ground to shake a little bit, then return to how it was. I want
: chunks of earth flying up, dust and grass incinerated and blown in the
: wind. And when that massive chaingun on the back of the Warthog starts up,
: I don't want a small buzzing. I want a massive, screen shaking, controller
: vibrating, pants wetting feeling as those massive bullets mow down the
: Covenant bastards.
: Lose the remote control car feel of the vehicles. Remember in Halo 1, how
: piloting the Ghost took a considerable amount of skill? It took a bit to
: speed up, and it didn't change direction in a hurry. This new Ghost stops
: and starts on a dime, and now anybody can drive one effectively. Even me.
: Remember the fishtailing Warthog, that felt like it had a a real weight, a
: real massive vehicle behind it? Revving that thing up felt the business,
: it felt like you had real power. Keep the damage, if you must. Just bring
: back the meat.
: More Marines. Please. Anybody? Rockslider sure knows how great it feels to be
: fighting side by side with a mass of Marines, shouting curses and flinging
: grenades like nobodys business. Damn, but was that fun. Amp up their
: aggression, make them more effective, and I swear I will never insult
: Halo's AI ever again.
: Bring back the pack. Kill an Elite, the Grunts panic. Enemies should have
: some character, something to make them stand out. Not just generic alien
: bastard number 3.
: Well, that's all for now. I'm sure I have more to say, but I honestly just
: want to go play some SC. Thanks for reading.
