Is it just me, or has Halo slowly lost its mystery as graphics and what not have progressed? Don't get me wrong, I love all the Halo games, but there's a difference in feeling between staying up all night playing Halo CE /Halo 2 and Halo Reach. Halo 1 &2 had this eerie-ness about it that always kept you on edge. The multiplayer maps were quiet, with the exception of the random "Halo" background noises if you know what I mean, and that always kept me on edge and ready for the next kill. It made you want to crouch around in a game of snipers and hold your breath until your shot was fired for a headshot.And because of that silence every sound effect, gun shot, and plasma explosion was way more intense. But by Halo 3 I feel like Bungie got into perfecting the details too much and making thing look pretty, but then sacrificed playability in return. Like my title says, maybe I'm just nostalgic, but Halo 1&2 just have that feeling that brings you back again and again. I know this isn't really anything that can be changed but I'm hoping Bungie's next game really takes all us "Veteran" gamers, so to speak, back to the good old days. I'm a die hard Bungie/Halo fan and this is in no way meant to bash these games, I just wanted to share my opinion on their progression and evolution.
