You clearly don't have any understanding of gameplay.
Sure I do. Faster kills, map control, individual skill without the influence of randomness and outside factors such as AAs and bloom. One can understand good gameplay without being good at an individual game.
But I'm also a realist. I don't pine for 10 or 8 year old games when the latest instalment barely passed a year, and the first of the next 3 games being the primary focus of those who are in charge now.
It's a bitter pill to swallow, I know. But Reach is the way it is. 343 has even said any major overhaul to gameplay is impossible at this point because they are up to their eyeballs making Halo 4 everything Reach isn't. And if they made it like Halo 1 and 2, it wouldn't sell, save to those who don their nostalgia goggles.
Time to stop kicking the dead horse.
It goes further an deeper than that, which is what I'm referring to.
The two or three games play nothing a like. Halo CE did not play like 2 or 3/R, nor did 2 play like 3/R. H3 and HR have very similar styles of gameplay, how ever.
Reach's Anniversary playlists are nothing like the gameplay of CE.
I know Reach is the way it is and I know no major overhaul can be done, no where did I state it was going to be changed. Although ZB,NS and some other tweaks, especially with maps make the game play completely different, which is good. It plays like a Halo game.
Though they can not completely leave Reach in the dirt and hung up to dry, they have to change small things to try to make the game enjoyable. Which they already started, but more small things can be done, which they should be able to do. They need to try to get that old fan base, that left because of Reach back before Halo 4 is out. So it will be successful.
They've already said a few times that Halo 4 won't be like Reach and that it will be getting back to its roots. Which are Halo 1 and 2, along with adding some new things that won't completely -blam!- everything up. They've already said they could have added a bunch of other stuff that would make it sell even more but didn't, because it was not Halo.
