My third montage!

Seriously? Why are we so critical of current titles? We criticize the CoD franchise for never doing anything innovative or being stale. Yet when halo, be it by Bungie's hand or 343i's attempts to do something different, it's bashed.

Now I'm not defending either business decision as being more right or more wrong than the other. I didn't like everything about Reach but I felt once all the gimmicks were stripped away there was decent shooter in there worth being played. I feel the same way about Halo 4 and I would argue that the core gameplay is a much better experience compared to Reach.

I've never been a fan of the CoD multilayer formula. But I will praise Infinity Ward because they stick to what got them their and give their fans what they want.

Look, I get it. Everyone has opinions. I just really wonder what we are expecting out of current releases?

When I sit down and play a game, I want to be challenged, but I also want to have fun.

I'm expecting them to not turn every game with a different, solid core gameplay to turn into CoD.

From the FPS genre, I want innovation. Halo 4 did not innovate at all, it just conformed to the current standards. I want those standards to be rewritten.

Because 'doing something different' doesn't always result in that something being good or necessary.

You're mocking me, aren't you?

I expect a video game to deliver and enticing journey that sucks you in the moment you start up the game.

I expect a game that will deliver hours of entertainment whether that be through multiplayer or an amazing single player experience.

I expect new and original IPs to be just that, new and original , not a developers take on an otherwise overused genre.

And most importantly, I have to like it.

I completely agree with you. Change for the sake of change isn't always the best answer.

Change can be both good and bad, i rant on cod for not changing because it is the same game every year. If they didnt do yearly titles then i doubt i would get on them about it. But yearly titles coupled with little to no changes yes ill get mad at them. Not to mention every fps is now trying to be like cod.

I rant on halo 4 because it changed to many things about halo and it is not the same game anymore. That being said though i would not have minded a few changes here and there but they went a tad to far.

This is something I can agree with. I didn't mind that Bungie tried different things with Reach. It just didn't feel like the changes were a natural progression for halo. Again change for the sake of change isn't always the best choice.

Exactly, if they would have kept it an arena style shooter without the progression system then i could see myself really enjoy it. Halo 4 does not feel like the arena style shooter that halo is meant to be, i dont like doing this but it feels like cod and i hate cod.

I didnt really enjoy reach, but atleast to me that feels like an arena shooter, what ever happpend to arena shooters.

The last shooter i actually enjoyed was bad company 2, now all shooters are just starting to feel generic and trying to copy each other.

And one thing id love to see come back is more non linear story driven based games. Unless im missing something i havnt seen a good story driven game in quite a while.

I want an enjoyable game in which everyone is relaxed and courteous.

In other words..:

No Visible KDR
Custom games
A friendly way to allow modders to do their thing
A relaxed game like Cod4
Innovation similar to Far Cry 3
And a story written well like Metro 2033

Just my opinion.
