Bring back the Beta!

AR noobs can lick my SMG, you make me sick.

Ok, when Bungie made Halo 3 they significantly compromised on the core tightness of the game to allow newer players to be able to pick up and play (Looking at you AR). Not only by changing weapon fire rate and damage (Example: the needler) they also slowed down the game by the introduction of shield doors, equipment and a slower time to switch weapon.

So I hope that now that they are independent of M$ that they will have less pressure to hug the noobs, and maybe they will learn form Halo 3 and improve on both 2 and 3's amazing record.

PS, no one can argue that the Brutes from Halo 3 were more fun than Halo 2 Elites. Brutes suck.

Peace.

Probably not, as I don't see any sins that they need to atone for in your original post.

If they made it Halo 2 with re-ramped graphics and story it would be amazing.

that's exactly what is amazing me.
people say "omg halo 2 was sooo awesome" and they complain "omg teh br is soooooo opppp!!11!11 fix it lolz ar ftw".
did you all forget that H2 br is a THREE burst kill in H2? with longer range, better accuracy and button glitches to make it even stronger? it was THE weapon to have, even more than in H3.

but hey, I agree, halo 2 ftw.

Halo 3 was far from the perfect game, even the most devoted fanboy knows that.

Doc: "i'm a pacifist"
Caboose: "your a thing that babies suck on?"
Tucker: "no dude, that's a pedephile"
Church: "tucker, i think he means a pacifier"

Considering the shock held by many with the jarring changes made in Halo2, I would say that the "problems" you are outlining started a long time ago.

The things you speak of are entirely relative, but personally I feel that Halo lost it's "tight" gameplay when they introduced dual wielding and the BR. Even on the higher teirs of Halo2 play, the strategy focused more on the use of a weapon instead of actual varying strategy.

That being said I wish for Reach to be it's own game, set away from the shadow (positive or negative) of it's predcessors.
