for starters, anyone who buys this game for the spartan is an absolute moron. if you dont like fighting games and plan on buying this (wasting your money) for a spartan in a fighting game is even dumber. all it is is a ninja dressed like a spartan. adding a spartan will not make this fighting game any different than the 1st, 2nd or 3rd game as far as a fighting game is concerned except for it having a spartan. i dont get it. it makes no sense. its not even like its MC. its a spartan.. a made up spartan...has NO connection to any thing Halo related not only in the past but in the future as well. am i missing the point here? i still dont get what the big deal is. it seems like bungie just keeps DEVOLVING Halo. they go from Halo CE: to Halo 2 which the 2 games have absolutely nothing in common... not even an engine! and now from Halo 2 ( which sucked ass, and is so easily hacked because of the networking which is synthesized or predicted for those who dont know, that means fake not to mention a weaker MC who throws like my six year old sister and hits or melles like my 3 year old brother you replace a M6D pistol with some -blam!-ass 3 shot BR thats supposed to be mid range but everyone knows that fire that thing at more than 20 feet and your just gonna run outa ammo so some stupid Alien Elite can kill you with a plasma pistol....WTF BUNGIE!) and now to a "spartan"....... in a ninja game!? I DONT GET IT!!! WTF!!!!!?????
Now i can picture Halo 3 and its gonna suck ass as well. new different playable characters each with special skills and tactics and so on and so on.... you may as well call Halo 3 "unreal championship 5 with spartans". no offense but if we wanted to play as different characters each with their own strengths and weaknesses than we would be playing Unreal championship and not halo. thats what was so great about the original halo in multiplayer. it was a level playing ground and everyone was exposed to the same exact conditions, weapons, tactics ETC. you cant even say this about Halo 2 cause the elites and spartans do have different builds making them different to shoot at. any more characters added will only be copying what has already been done. Remember, Halo didnt need an elite or an arbiter like Halo 2. The MC is all you needed and all you ever will need. Please Bungie, scrap those ideas and go back to what made Halo-Halo! if not, youve done nothing but turned halo into a game "LIKE" Unreal championship or other games that have been done before. we dont wanna be a sniper or a point man or a medic or have to hide behind my rocket guy, cause im a specialist in 1 weapon or type of tactic. i wanna be able to drop my assault rifle and snag the sniper and get 6 quick headshots then drop the sniper grap the rocket and blow everyone to HELL run outa ammo and then ,ah yes.... have my never to be dropped "GO TO" Handy and most deadly when fired acurately sidearm known as "THE M6D PISTOL"! so basically what im saying is DOA4 and a spartan is dumb and its a lame marketing strategy by both Bungie and team Ninja to sell a few extra copies of a dying and fading out fighting gameand that halo 2 sucks, well it doesnt suck it just doesnt deserve the Halo name. the 2 games are just way too different in gameplay to both bear the Halo name. it should have been called spartans and elites unite or something..... anything but Halo.
