At first, I was not crazy about the update, because I was very used to Halo 2s gameplay. Playing Halo 2 as much as I do, there was definitely a bit of a learning to curve to get back to how the original Halo gamplay was. It had been over a year at least before Halo 2 came out that I had played the original Halo. So, it has definitely been a long time since I've touched the original Halo. After the update came out, I noticed right away that I would have to use some of my old techniques. After a couple days of playing, I'm starting to settle in with the new update. When it's all said in done, I think the update is for the better. It will be better in the long run. For those of you that hate the update, I was right there with you, but it is starting to grow on me.
Thank you for resetting the stats and player levels too. It is nice playing Team Slayer now or any other type of ranked game and not caring about my level. I've gone from close to a 15 down to a very low 12, and I don't care. I view everything as a training game now. It's a nice change, but I'll start trying again in a couple weeks when the levels get reset. At least this go around, I think everyone will be more comfortable about how they compare to other people in the online community, because there won't be as much cheating going on......hopefully.
All in all, the update and resetting the levels is for the better. Sure lag is a bit of a problem right now, but that will settle out as lag usually does. The nice thing the update does is it definitely emphasizes the use of skill over what type of weapon combo. Headshots count more when you're dual wielding against someone. Grenade kills are getting out of hand, but it has added a new angle to the game. Double kills with a plasma? Too funny. One of my partners stuck two guys with one plasma. He threw it in between them, and when they split up, the plasma split as well and became two grenades. That is even funnier.
Just keep up the good work Bungie. You can never please everyone, so, make the game according to how you see fit and don't worry about the criticisms. It's their game and they can do whatever they want to it.
