9 days before the BETA of a game that is still more than 9 months away and dudes already complaining
Am I supposed to blindly praise it? Game looks terrible idk what you want me to say. None of this is complaining either, they are observations.
If the Halo series followed the path that some of y'all want, it wouldn't even exist right now.
Better that than them continuing to ruin it.
When did I imply you or anyone had to praise the game?
And he game looks terrible in your opinion. There are also tons of positive impressions too.
- But anyway. What I want to point out that this is not a finish game, nor is it a demo. The beta is so early so that 343 can get feedback and make the changes they deem necessary. But your going in on the game before they even have the chance to collect those opinions
I find that ridiculous, plain and simple.
"Changes they deem necessary" That right there is it.
They're not going to decide to remove Sprint, every other Spartan Ability, Take flinch out, take the in game callouts out, take etc etc out. We all know these things arent happening, they've screwed us once before with this already. They arent going to do it.
But I expect nothing less from the people who put SMG starts back into Halo 2 after 4 games of data that shows that starting with a non utility gun makes the game play worse, and Bungie themselves admitting that SMG starts were bad for Halo 2. These people dont care about Halo at all.
And I'm sorry but the feedback of people who dont have a specific interest in Halo itself means nothing. Those people are the reason why this game is like this in the first place. IDC what people on Gaf think I really do not. People who just have an general interest in shooters are whats causing this game to be this way. On every Halo forum I've been on its almost unanimous dislike.
I've been playing these games for more than a decade, its not hard to see what works and what doesnt. I'm not totally writing it off either, but theres about a 5% chance they wise up and salvage this game and abandon their dreams of tapping into a market in which Halo games do not belong.
The complaints that I see about H5 are all based around the idea that it's not a carbon copy of Halo 2 or 3.
Those complaints aren't valid to me.
Those arent my complaints. My complaints is that this isnt even really a Halo game anymore. Its strayed so far away from the principles that made the other games great that its sad.
Its not even about the games being carbon copies of either cause Halo 3 and 2 are different in about 100 different ways and none of them are anything like CE. None of those three games play exactly alike, or really even close to it. They just adhere to a solid principle. Hell even Reach did to an extent, 4 and this current and likely largely unchanging version of H5 cant make that claim.
And again this looks like a good game, but it sure as hell isnt a good Halo game. Give this a different name a reskin it, everything would be fine, but knowing that this is supposed to be a Halo and watching it? Its not pretty
