yes but still in the gamer if it were EXACTLY like the book it would be about 3 plasma rifle shots and there dead
in the fall of reach,SPOILERS IF U HAVENT READ THIS PART:
linda got shot with 5 plasma shots and died
And what is wrong with a game like that? That is how tactical shooters have been doing it for years and those games are great! This was Bungie's chance to make something drastically different than Halo 1-3 and they didn't. They look to have made Halo 1 again. Same health system (weak shield (aka stamina) + health bar), slower chief, less jump, etc.
I'm just asking why bungie didn't branch out and make something different. They had a great opportunity to make a game that mixed the best elements of more tactical shooters (Rainbow Six, Ghost Recon, etc) with the Halo lore and feel. I love those games, and being able to get a little of that in halo would have been a huge step towards diversifying the game scene. This is disappointing.
I think ODST will be a fantastic game, but it looks like the same stuff I've been playing since Halo: CE. I wanted something different. I'm let down.
And really, stop saying gameplay first, you can make a game fun without having to use the same mechanics as Halo 3 melee. I mean really. You act like changing the melee will make the game unfun, you really think you can't ballance a combat system around a weaker melee? You have to be nuts. I mean just off the top of my head, make the melee incredible weak, give me a combat knife and make it stronger at the cost of not being able to have my gun out. That seems cool.
