I see alot of ideas about having more realism in Halo but Halo is not about realism, it;s about science-fiction. Following the story of a super-soldier/human to save humanity(normal humans) from being wiped out by a group of alien races that come together to make the great journey. You play the role as master chief( A cybernetically inhanced super soldier) not a marine, not a normal human but a super human to save the human race from extinction. The writer of Halo wanted you to feel like when you read the books you felt like you where like that super soldier with increadible feats like throwing nades across the map, running 2x,3x the speed of a normal human, firing guns across the map,exe things that normal humans cant do. Bungie brought that to life on the xbox with Halo CE and it was so much fun. Yet people want things to be more realistic in Halo and halo is all about Science-fiction. If I wanted to play as a normal human than I would play another game like COD2 or Battlefield or any other story that revolves around realism and being a normal person. The smg for example fires like a smg in real life, real short or as some people like to say, spray and pray. Grenades throw as far as a normal human would throw them in real life an chief would run as slow as a normal human. Halo 2's game play seems more centered around a nomal human than that super human soldier that everybody remembers in Halo CE. Halo CE game play is what made Halo stand out and apart from every other game. Yet Halo 2 gameplay makes it feel like im playing just another ordinary game. In my honest opinion Halo 3 needs to return to that Sci-Fi that made Halo CE what it is-fun. Sci-Fi and realism just dont mix. Halo 2 was based around realism and it made the game fustrating and not fun. I would like to see Bungie get rid of the realism and make halo fun again for everybody including the complainers.
