To be honest.

In Response To: Honestly Frankie... (The Guardians)


: I just want to know, I'm not trying to be a dick.
You should try harder.

It's Bungie's game, and they develop it the way they think it'll turn out the best. They listen to their fans, which is a lot more than a lot of other game developers do. Sure, they might've made a few mistakes along the way, but that doesn't keep me, nor 90% of the people here from enjoying what they create.

Game development is about making choices. "Do we implement this? If so, we might not be able to implement this." No doubt a lot of the things you mentioned (including the shield gauntlets) have been thrown around during pre-production, but there undoubtably is a reason why it's not included. They're not trying to piss you off, they're trying to create the best game they can. It's too bad you don't agree with their choices, but that's the way it is. No need to enter troll mode over it. If you like Modern Warfare that much more, go play that instead.

Oh, and Infinity Ward didn't 'come up' with the portable shield-idea. Rare used it in their Perfect Dark-series way before them. I think it wouldn't really function in the Halo series as we know it from the trilogy and ODST, however. You can already prance around without taking too much damage, even on Legendary difficulty. In Modern Warfare, taking cover is a lot more vital to your survival, which is why the portable shield is such a great inclusion.

The way I see it, you want Halo to become something it's not, and while I advocate the need for the Halo series to expand (Halo Wars is a great example of that), I'm not sure Bungie's the best studio the deliver the experience you want. Like it or not, Reach will be another typical Bungie Halo game. It will look like a Bungie Halo game, and play like a Bungie Halo game, even with the rumored new gameplay mechanics included.
