Hello chaps, I've just come back from playing MW2's campaign. And I... uh... wow... it's very good, isn't it?
A bit of context, I've had to fight tooth and nail in Halo's defence the past 6 months, but I think I see now why some of my friends have kinda left Halo behind for CoD.
Don't get me wrong, Halo's IP is up there. I mean, freakin', UP THERE. It rocks. But I think Reach has to invoke some feeling of war in the way MW does. And before anyone says 'it's two different games and stuff, yeh?'; we can all agree, that Halo is primarily;
1. Space Opera Funk Drop Remix - Check
2. Vehicular Based Awesome Sauce - Check
3. A fight for the continued existence of humanity yeah - Hmmm
Halo does good. Bungie does gooder. And Marty does goodest. But number 3? I'm just not feeling it.
A Plea to Bungie;
I wanna feel scared. I wanna be overrun with covvie dropships whilst I'm crouching behind a downed pelican. I wanna have Sgt Johnson grow a moustache and make me feel warm and fuzzy like Captain Price did. Yeah, I even wanna have to hold the left trigger to shoot stuff properly.
