Subject: Lets not forget why its the best shooter

I remember one time discussing the difference between Call of Duty and Halo 3 with someone. Call of Duty felt more like a 'person who points and shoots fastest wins' while Halo 3 isn't necessarily like that. Even if you aren't the first one who pulls the trigger, if your skillful enough you can still survive and win. Maybe its just me, but I always felt the word 'skill' could be used with halo 3 more than other shooting games. A lot of shoot-em up games are just a matter of whose the luckiest to spot and fire at the enemy first. Anyway I just wanted to put that out there. With all these posts saying this and that should be changed, lets not ruin what makes Halo great in the first place.

I'm sure Bungie will keep the Halo feel to it but also improve upon what they have already.

What induces this skill is essentially the agility of your characters (just the right running speed, relatively high jumping, full fluid movements whilst in the air and on the ground), the shields, accurate mid-long range weapons (they really need MORE variations of this other than the BR and Carbine - there's too many useless and/or spray and pray weapons in the Halo series now), weapon/powerup spawns (inducing timing and map control) and grenade bouncing.

That's just the skill element of the game though, there's a lot more to Halo than this of course. Bungie have their work cut out if you ask me.

I agree. Halo, with its (mostly) original weapons, shield system, and not being set in WW2, is one of the most unique FPSs out there. However, Reach could be entirely different, and that doesnt mean bad.

True. But then you see the difference between Halo 3 and Halo 1, and then its like H3 = COD and H1 = H3. H3 is too much about spray and pray to be considered a Halo game, IMO.

110% agreed, that's what I say to my friends.

Oh yeah It's Rayzed.

Halo isn't just Spray and pray. You have to use all available resources to get the job done. If that includes AR then so be it.
