Excuse? They put a -blam!-ton of care into this game. Sure, Campaign, Bloom, and AA's suck.But there's Forge 2.0 which is amazing, Fifefight and Theater brought back, and the biggest Halo matchmaking service yet. I just think people set their standards too high. If the worst of Halo is all THAT, then it compliments the franchise more than brings it down.
Campaign is full of holes and very linear.
Firefight is a "who can get the highest score" game.
It's nothing close to ODST firefight where it was about survival and playing smart.
Forge is nice... but grey everywhere
It took a step forward, but 2 steps back.
Theatre is a downgraded version of H3 theatre.
MM lacks insensitive to win and improve.
MM ranks based on playtime and not personal skill.
MM lacks party restrictions.
Bloom was unnecessary
AAs where a somewhat decent idea yet, poorly implemented
Reach lacks the "everyone starts on equal footing" as well as the "2 man enter battle. The better one leaves, the lesser one is respawning."
2 core fundamentals that made Halo, Halo.
Reach is good, on the condition it's used as the "TO NOT DO" example on the drawing boards.
Outside of that specific condition, it's sub-quality Halo material.
I agree about Campaign.
True, but Arcade Fight is still a blast and good for beginners as well as custom FF settings
Even though too many things are metal grey platforms that doesn't take a way from the levels of customization and epic maps you can make.
I still don't see any changes in Theater.
MM can be competitive, and IDC about the parties and all that. I agree with the Ranking system, Bungie should of at least put in Skill.
Bloom was something new they wanted to try, can't blame them for experimenting and trying to see if it would make the game a little harder. I agree with AA's.
Yes, that actually makes a lot of sense. I think AA's and unbalanced maps ruined that concept.
So I 50% agree with you. I think Reach is great, but yeah, it lost some fire from the other games. I say it should be put on both sides of the drawing board.
