If they do remake Combat Evolved, the developer that does needs to be careful if they want to actually remake it.
These are seemingly small things that will make a huge difference for people who used to play the hell out of this game.
*how explosions make weapons go FLYING, I remember knowing just the right place to throw a grenade on hangem high and having a sniper rifle launched right to you.
*aiming reticle in the center of the screen. this is something that baffled me, why in Halo 2 and since then did they lower your crosshairs? I generally like to keep my crosshairs at head-height and when I run around that way i feel like im looking too high.
*Wider field of view. I dont notice it anymore, but when i first started playing Halo 2, it seemed like you were always zoomed in just a little bit.
*minimal auto-aim. Remember when you had to be a total badass with the sniper rifle to nail someone off a ghost? Now its like you suck if you cant do that. Headshots were hard as hell with the sniper.
*plasma freeze. It was annoying as hell when you were being shot at from behind with the plasma rifle and you couldn't turn around fast enough to get a shot off before being donkey punched (assassinated).
*no lunge in the melee. I just dont like it. and the old sound effect was better when you hit someone.
*Indestructable and floaty vehicles. You know it was satisfying when you had a perfectly thrown frag that sent a warthog flying and you could get just steal it and not have to worry about it blowing up after 1 burst from an an AR because its on fire. Also you wouldn't have to worry about someone getting to your base and destroying all your vehicles.
*The tank couldn't drive sideways. Unrealistic? Yes. Make the gameplay more fare? Yes. also the Scorpion drivers head was exposed, making him easy to snipe.
*No new weapons or weapon tweaks. Im actually a little torn on this one, only for the needler though, unless they should just keep it the way it was - a weapon to embarrass your opponent.
*Frag grenades aren't bouncy balls.
*Crouching right before you land from a big fall lessens the damage. No it doesn't make sense, but who cares, it added an interesting element where you would have to be confident that you knew how to survive a big fall.
Thats all I can really think of right now, but I know theres got to be some stuff Im forgeting. What do you think? If they do remake CE, should they change anything besides the graphics/fix glitches?
