I know the game isn't out yet, and what we have seen isn't even completed yet. But this is just my opinion, on what ive seen. These are my complaints... agree with me or don't, I could care less. You may be asking yourself "why the hell should you complain?" Well there are just to many good things about the game to talk about, so I just wanted to state what I thought was "the bad".
1.) Arm position on the battle rifle. Look at it, the MC's arm is at a very strange anlge. Very unconfortable if you were to move your arm in that postion. Look at the latest HUD pics, and check out his arm, now move your arm in that position... bad huh. Now look at the old E3, they had it right the first time, his arm is in a much better place. Yeah, its a small problem and a lame one... but hell, I noticed that it was strange.
2.) Dual wielding. If any one you have read this article http://rhoxbox.com/articles/00007.html you will see that it says under "no more pistol" that you can dual wield a Battle Rifle. Now im all for dual wielding it kicks ass. But two battle rifles? Yeah, the MC is strong enough, but don't you think thats a little ridiculous. Maybe I read the article wrong though, because I doubt that bungie would do somthing that lame....
3.) Dual wielding reloading. Have you seen the Multiplayer footage of reloading when you dual wield? Not to cool. I was expecting bungie to come up with somthing awsome for dual wielding reloading. But I guess not... They stuck with the Golden Eye thing from N64... where you can reload somehow with your toes and climb up a ladder at the same time. Sorry bungie, this is to hard not to comment on.
4.) hijacking... It seemed a little to easy on the multiplayer footage. Videos of people warping what seemed yards onto the hoods of cars to knock out the driver. It looked like it would get anoying after a while. Yeah, you can't board a vehicle moving to fast... but maybe make it a little harder... somthing that a "pro" with lots of practice could only do maybe. You can bash me on this one... but hell I just thought it was kinda easy looking. But as they say, "easier said then done"
5.) No health? This is a major problem for me... In Halo2 bungie decided to take out the health, now before you go arguing with me saying "They didnt take out the health, you just cant see it" think again... watch the vids and read the article... You have no health... Yeah, the shields are more powerfull... but don't you think this is very unrealistic? Ive heard other people who agree with me say things like this "Why doesent the MC just run around with a shield pack naked? It would give the same effect" Now as scary as it seems to see the MC naked, its just as scary to think that the MC is weaker (technically) then a grunt... because all he is, is, shield. However, I do like the fact that there are no more health packs... those little packs that majically healed you were lame.
6.) Jumping super high. Im fine with it in Multiplayer... it gives a pretty cool feel to the game... but in campaign? I hope not... I know he's strong... but lets not make this game like Mario.
7.)Boost efect on ghosts etc. Also gravity effects. This is purely -blam!-ing here.... I just don't like the way it looks... all purple and streaming. A bit to cartoony for me. Not to mention the strange stuff on the bottom of the ghost... I don't like it at all. (remember, just my opinion)
8.) Second explosion on ghost. I just don't like that period.
Now that was some major bashing and -blam!-'n (sorry bungie)... and I highly doubt everyone will read that. But I just wanted to see what people thought of my complaints.
