Subject: Oh... Oh I don't know what to think

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.

You are an invincible spartan. You kill things easily. And yet, you are helpless, cowering in the dirt, watching the planet around you getting glassed and everyone is dieing. I think they are going to nail number 3 or they aren't going to bother making the game.

Oh, and some nukes wouldn't go amiss. I don't want 'em in real life, but if it's scripted fantasy, I say go HonK WILD

Couldnt agree more, the feeling of being overrun has to be put in. Even with all the Spartans Reach was still overrun and i want to see this in the game, i wanna see Reach overrun and the fall of Reach all around you.

Agreed. Plus, we need to see some space battles too.
