Aside from all the gameplay stuff, they really screwed over the campaign. I adamantly read all the books, and during the events on Reach, Chief was out in space (WITH CORTANA) fighting alien ships, using Longswords to bomb open Covie shields while he slipped in and bombed the -blam!- out of it from the inside and made the explosion bounce off the inside of the shields... it was nuts. And then Reach turns around and says that some chumps called "Noble Team" met the Covenant first (BS, the space fleet did), Hasley was never that much of a b****, Cortana was never away from the Chief, the list goes on.
Some other bad stuff:
- Bad weapons for the most part (getting rid of the Beam Rifle made that one scene where a certain someone gets sniped complete BS)
- Vehicles suck: snipers and DMRs are retardedly turned into anti-vehicle guns because for some reason rockets, plasma launchers, fuel rods, and grenade launchers aren't good enough (not to mention the fact that they removed more anti-vehicle things like Trip Mines, Power Drains, and especially Missile Pods)
- Banshee is overpowered: have to actually switch between Banshee bomb and plasma guns, plasma guns are weak and not worth using (thus everyone switches to the bomb and never uses the gun)
- Low vehicle diversity
- Armour abilities
- No equipment
- Lack of medium filler weapons (like SMGs, Maulers, etc.)
- No dual-wielding
- Armour lock
- Loadouts (classes, whatever you want to call them)
- Less realistic graphics compared to Halo 3
- Glitches like Juggernaut settings being broke
That's just a few.
Agreed. Campaign broke canon. The covenant got on Reach and know one knew until Noble team saw them? Yeah, no. Graphics are terribly dull and colorless. It's like my guy is colorblind to everything except a sickly green on scarcely spread bushes and trees, and an ugly, burnt orange on the walls of these ugly buildings. Everything else is pretty much gray.
Multiplayer is the most BS, luck based, repetitive, noob filled, terribly ranked, BS ban filled, bag of crap I've ever played, and the point of other features such as Firefight are taken away. Firefight was about survival, and involved a massive amount of improvising with the different guns, especially when Famine and Mythic made ammo an issue. Now it's just the following: set it to spawn with a bottomless clip rocket and sniper and make yourself invincable and fast and set all the enemies to nearsighted, deaf grunts on easy difficulty and never turn on skulls.
