To begin, I don't care what the reasoning or back stories (or whatever the case may be) are to all the changes made from Halo 1/2/3 to Halo: Reach, all this post is showing is how Halo: Reach really has nothing to do with what Halo has been since its beginning....
Halo 1/2/3 vs. Halo: Reach
Permanent reticle (no bloom) ---(vs.)--- Expanding reticle (bloom)
No armor abilities (had to earn perks by picking them up) ---(vs.)--- 5 armor abilities (perks are given to you)
Shields only ---(vs.)--- Shields and health
Mostly skill based ranking system ---(vs.)--- Mostly game time based ranking system
No fall damage ---(vs.)--- Fall damage (that also stuns you)
3 bullet burst BR (Halo 2 & 3) ---(vs.)--- Single shot DMR
Sniper head shots rare ---(vs.)--- Sniper head shots common (almost expected)
Vehicles very hard to flip when driving ---(vs.)--- Vehicles very easy to flip when driving
Can't flip vehicles by shooting them with basic weapons ---(vs.)--- Can flip vehicles with one DMR shot
These are just the facts people. I didn't get into opinion at all because not only would that turn this thread into meaningless flaming and stupidity, which is probably how this will end up anyway, but also because if you've played all or most of the Halos, you should already understand the impact of these changes and know how Halo: Reach is almost a completely different game than the Halo that became one of the biggest game franchises in history (okay, MAYBE that's an opinion, but oh well, it's true).
Let's try this... Tell me something that made gameplay better in Halo: Reach than any of the other Halos.
... Welp, hopefully Halo 4 will get back to Halo's roots, but I doubt it.
P.S. I know Halo 1 is actually Halo CE, so don't be a smart ass douche and flame me for something that doesn't matter and is unrelated to the post... No one cares. If you disagree with something, say it. Don't post something that adds nothing to the conversation, but that's like asking for a cup of water in Hell, so... Let the flaming begin!
