I love a great deal of things about the Halo games. The story, the weapons, the gameplay. I really love how brilliant it is. But one of the things I love the most about the game, is something many people have a problem with. The one regarding the "fire from the hip" system Bungie uses. Though its not really firing from the hip. Its a shoulder fire using crosshairs. Most games have moved on from the crosshair system that they use but I am glad Bungie has kept it throughout and I love the unique feel I get from it.
I see more and more games going to the aiming down the sights method of play. Mainly Call of Duty and its imitators. But, by all means it works for Call of Duty, that is what they are going for, the realism of present day fighting and WW2. But Halo gives that great feel of a larger than life Science Fiction shooter supported by the larger than life gameplay. To be honest I could not imagine a Halo game (this is what people forget the most, the game part) without those unique crosshairs for each gun.
This is something I hope Bungie continues in Halo Reach, and in the future for their other games.
