So, I picked up Anniversary on release night, but haven't had time to play it. Last night, I finally sat down to play a little firefight and anniversary matchmaking. Installation 04 was a lot of fun. It was pretty strange and exciting to be playing that map in a non-campaign way. Next up was anniversary matchmaking.
After playing only one match, all I have to say is... I get it. I get everything that everyone was saying about everything. Don't get me wrong, I like Reach. It's just that after playing anniversary, it's easier to contrast the two. I know anniversary is not perfect, but man, is it some high paced fun.
I know that anniversary is not exactly CE, but I think it's as close to a reasonable facsimile as we're going to get in Reach. What was surprising, was to really see and feel what the difference really are, and how much the games have changed. It's funny how you can lose that perspective over time.
Welcome to the enlightened side, brother. It becomes painfully obvious who has and hasn't played the previous installments of the Halo franchise at a high enough level to actually critique the gameplay of these games by reading these forums and their staces on the Anniversary gametypes. And no, I'm not talking about ranks when I say this.
