You're missing the point. He's not saying put new graphics into Halo 3 and call it Halo 4, he's saying don't reinvent the game. Like, we don't need pelican support after 7 kills, like so many people are suggesting.
And if you really think Halo 3 is just Halo 2.5, you clearly never played Halo 2 on Xbox Live during its prime yearsI think you too are missing the point. He's referring to gameplay. Halo 2 and 3 were nearly identical save for a few new weapons and equipment. Obviously pelican support would be stupid, and stealing a mechanic from another game. Although who's to say bungie doesn't want to go into another direction with the Halo games. Bring in the true bar for next gen gameplay. I assure you, if there isn't anything new in future Halo games people will stop buying them. They want something new when they buy a game. Not the same old same old they saw in the previous games. Whether that's something as big as a gameplay overhaul or a simply a new feature. Just because you guys are "long time fans" doesn't mean we have to think exactly the way you do. (Authors note: I've been playing since Halo CE so don't pull that one)
How so? Halo 2 is incredibly different. I never played H2 in the prime days, and i only started H3 in 2008 Jan, but i bought Halo 2 & Halo 1 and it's incredibly different. I've done the jumps in H1, learned the glitches and jumps in H2, and am currently a 42 in H3, i don't play ranked to level up anymore really so it's meh.
H2 has way different hitboxes, has glitches and add-ons, and other incredible things. In fact, by rushing to put it out, Bungie gave more things to do then in H3, where they looked over EVERYTHING, and made sure it was perfect. That nothing could go wrong. H2 was a way faster game, because of the hitboxes, the glitches which allowed for comebacks when multiple shots down, and the different mechanics/physics.
I have no idea how you think they're alike.
As for "nobody will buy them if there isn't something new" that's plain old stupid. People bought H3, after seeing all the things in Halo 2? People STILL buy Mario games, this long after it was made. Pokemon still sells out, when you know each games goes Gym Leaders->Elite Four->Catch 'Em All.
Peope will buy Halo. The same reason they'll buy CoD6, because it's like CoD4, and CoD2. My friend bought CoD5 because he liked CoD4, he didn't know much about it, now he hates it. He's back to playing CoD5.
I don't want a big overhaul, in fact, far from it. I want a game like H1 or H2, a fast-paced game, with lots of things to do once you beat it.
