Re: A Lament

In Response To: A Lament (Schooly D) : A couple of nights ago, I played Reach for the first time since Halo 4 was : released with Avateur & The Backpackers. After I joined, the party : went into the Invasion playlist. : The first thing I noticed was the bloom. Full-on bloom. It was terrible, and : it immediately reinforced my approval of how 343 changed the core gameplay : mechanics: the lack of bloom, the faster movement, the higher jumps. And : it underscored the frustration I felt on Halo 4's release: that the : basic elements were in place to bring a game that was better than Reach, : but were counteracted by a host of crap (perks, gameplay-affecting player : investment, ordnance, poor maps, etc). Even the art suffered -- I spent a : couple of minutes in my armory just looking at my Spartan's (iconic!) : model, wishing 343 had kept the same aesthetic rather than the weird : anime-inspired look they went with. : Sorry for the short, Milleresque "just a reminder that I'm not : happy" post, but I thought this was worth mentioning. 343 was so : close to making a game I'd play and enjoy more than I did Reach, and yet : so far. Back in my day, we'd play halo 3 to reminisce.
