In Response To: Re: Needs more Nathan Fillion and company... (Grizzlei)


: All I remember from Shutdown and Midnight was the fun Broadsword sequence and
: the teriible gunfights. Otherwise, I have no desire to reminisce on the
: game between Halsey's interview and Didact's dramatic schoolyboy bitch
: monologue. Its really a multi-million dollar fan fiction project in every
: sense of the world. Not expecting Halo 5 to cure its predecessor's
: ailments and that's why I have no excitement or even curiosity about what
: comes next.

See, I didn't find the Broadsword fun. I think it absolutely could have been as fun as the Sabre in Reach, but they dropped us in a trench, with little room to maneuver, and a billion parts moving around arbitrarily because, I guess, it's "Forerunner", and hardly anything to really do or shoot at. I still don't understand why the Broadsword even has a boost. There's nowhere TO boost. You just run into all sorts of crap. Then we crash land on the Grid and go running off to kill Clu Didact but not before, as you mentioned, a couple dozen pretty mediocre shootouts with robot people.

I mentioned it farther down in another thread, but right after I finished the game, I thought I really liked it. It wasn't my favorite Halo, but it was pretty good. The notes I took while I was playing seem to reflect that. However the more I've thought about it, and the more I've played of the campaign... It just hasn't held up at all. I just played through Reach again, and it was like a breath of fresh air. I've got a whole new appreciation for that game.
