I'm guessing Halo fans are expecting something extra special from Reach and i'm wondering if this is something you guys are truly aware of
We are basically very greedy when it comes to your games and we want as much as we can get
ODST while superb and worth every penny in one respect, felt criminally short.I can roam the streets on it's highest settings with score and have a lot of fun doing so, but this side of ODST is really just some icing on particularly small cake.Great work by such a small team though - i must learn however not to read too much into what you guys say on your Bungie updates
Halo3 while very good at doing a better job with certain combat aspects, let a lot of people down - i still play it regularly because it's so much fun but it needed to be so much more - like i said, we're greedy but it's also because you've only managed to get the sequels 75% right.Halo3 is still much better than all other fps but that's the point, Halo1's campaign in no way left any of it's fans underwhelmed by it's generous content and tremendous sense of adventure
Half the time these days it seems you guys either cut exciting action parts of a mission(Mongoose section just before first Scarab on Halo3) or simply leave a level so short it leaves us underwhelmed(ODST night mission).And that wouldn't be so bad but then give us more missions
What happened to the epic length of missions from Halo1 - is it just lack of manpower or are you afraid you're going to annoy people by a lack of variety?
All real fans want is 9 big levels that all satisfy in the best possible Halo way.It may sound greedy but i'm not the only one that's going to be disapointed come Reach's launch if it only measures up to Halo3 campaign length quality again
Even though Halo3 is in quite a number of ways better than Halo1, it royally stuffs it up as a whole and as far as a truly believable existance in another universe
ODST does a better job and it's superbly done in all areas but of course being so short, this served to only annoy a lot of fans - don't forget that most people playing will choose normal
Reach needs to be big in size, scale, action and typically awesome combat like only Bungie knows how
Please make the campaign a decent Halo1 size this time and no dumb unskippable cutscenes
