*Please note that this is an argument about GAMEPLAY realism, not GRAPHIC realism.
I've personally been watching this forum to view your ideas on how we could change Halo to accommodate our likes and dislikes. One topic I find particularly interesting is realism. There are a large amount of people on the forums who's ideas focus on making the Halo experience more realistic.
Listen up.
People don't come to play Halo for realism. Halo gives us a break from what is real to give us an entertaining experience, such as lobbing a sticky grenade 6000 feet , tagging a guy who is tea bagging your dead teammate. I think the Call of Duty series has secured the part of making the game more realistic, while halo has secured the position of making the game more fun.
Halo is still on top of other Xbox Live titles, not only because of the 4 player split-screen, or the deep campaign, or the pursuit of a better rank, but rather it leads because the playing field is even for everyone, and it has that "thing" other games don't have. It has a sense of imagination and a luck factor that make montages shine. Im sorry to CoD lovers, but you have to admit that a Halo 3 montage is more entertaining than a Call of Duty or Gears of War montage. This is simply because of that hilarious unrealism that keeps bringing people back.
So I hope that Bungie doesn't feel inspired by your feedback on this forum, because if they are influenced by the majority of you who want a more realistic approach, I am afraid you will be disappointed with Halo Reach.

Define "realism". As someone said, its a game that takes place 500 years in the future. That just kills your whole "realism" argument.
I am not arguing what realism is in Halo, I am arguing against the people who say Halo Reach's Gameplay should be more realistic. Too many do not grab the concept that Halo is a game that takes place in the future (as stated above), and thus are arguing that, in Reach, the beatdown should be toned down, we shouldnt throw grenades as far as we can, Spartans jump too high, it takes too many bullets to kill someone, etc.etc.

I absolutely agree. I think that this needs to be heard. i also agree with GuranAndrew for the fact that graphics could look more realistic, but gameplay should be left alone
^ That is a good point. ^
