...that it's a really good thing Bungie is no longer developing Halo games. Don't get me wrong, I love Bungie, I can't wait for their next game and on paper Reach is the ultimate Halo game. In practice, however, it is not.
I'm not going to delve into it since countless people have already beat the problems to death in the Reach and Optimatch forums, but these issues with several of the core elements of the game kept it from being the ultimate Halo game it was on paper. And... in the ViDoc, it seemed like Bungie completely ignored that. All they did was repeatedly praise Reach like it was a last sales pitch. No admission of failure, which seems odd considering the admission of failure with Halo 2 (which could hardly be called a failure).
It bothers me that Bungie is so blind to Reach's faults, so that's why I'm happy Bungie is no longer working on Halo. A fresh set of developers is exactly what Halo needed. Thank you, Bungie, for creating such an amazing universe that I have invested thousands of hours into, both in game and out and thank you for handing it off to a team of Halo fans.
I think Bungie was being more objective then subjective. They went into the development process of each game, and talked about all the new things that each one brought, they didn't really judge or criticize the actual gameplay of it, they simply just stated what they did. They had alot of cool ideas stored up that they hadn't tried, and they used them for Reach. So what's the problem? Reach had no particular development problems, except for the fact I guess that they worked their asses off to create it.
Do you expect Bungie to get up there and be like, 'Yeah we created all these new things like armor abilities, and whatnot, but it was just bad'. Yeah like they're just going to contradict all the new things they worked so hard to create with a biased opinion. It was different, but you know what? Some people may have liked it, myself included, even though I miss the classic feel some. How do you think people that liked all the new things in Halo Reach would have felt after they said that?
