Re: So Destiny is the new Spartan Ops?

: Believe it or not, Destiny's gameplay is pretty solid.

I played it. It sucks. ADS, supers, yadda yadda I've been over this eleventy million times.

: It's actually really
: baffling playing a game that may be one of the most mechanically sound and
: fun to play of any game in recent memory, but for the world to be so
: empty, grind-y, and repetitive. Halo 4's core mechanics were all it had
: going for it, the weapons were busted from launch and many still are,
: weapons spawned in the ground on maps, there were quick time events, the
: level designs may be more linear than H2's, and the list goes on and on
: for why the campaign and multiplayer in H4 are just flat out bad.

Yes, Halo 4, as I said, is bad. At least, compared to other Halos. It still blows away all the CoDs and Destiny. Every Halo other than ODST is extremely linear, not sure how that's relevant. I never said that was a good thing. Actually, some Halo 2 and Reach levels are pretty open now that I think about it.

: Also, better feature set and content? Not even close.

Uh, what?

H4 official content:

6-8 hour campaign
6~ hours of Spops
Shitty broken multiplayer with 10 gametypes on 25 maps of mostly bad quality
Saved films for multiplayer
Forge
Shitty stats website

H4 fan made content:

Infinite maps
Infinite gametypes
Forge art
Minigames
Puzzles
Obstacle Courses
Rube Goldberg machines
Screenshots
Machinima
Montages
A very good stats website (Halotracker)
Mods (these have the power to make H4 actually pretty good)
Plenty that I'm not thinking about

Destiny official content:

~20 hour campaign
Shitty broken multiplayer with 6 gametypes on 10 maps (9 if you're on Xbox)
Shitty stats website

Destiny fan made content:

Montages
machinima(?)
First person screenshots

: Speaking of content,
: some of the worst DLC maps I've ever played in a shooter. Any shooter. And
: that says a lot, because I've played some terrible games in my day, and
: Halo 4 (while not the worst) is pretty up there. Destiny absolutely is
: not.

Ok. I said bad maps. Of the four beta maps for Destiny, the only promising one was Venus, and even that was hard to tell since the gameplay was so shitty. Destiny was the second worst multiplayer I can remember playing, but being better than Call of Duty isn't exactly a huge accomplishment.

: Also, your opinion loses some points because you still think Halo 2 is the
: best Halo game. And while I think you're totally awesome and I absolutely
: adore Halo 2, it's totally not the best Halo. :P

Halo 2 is by far the best Halo, and Starfox Adventures is the best Zelda. Deal with it. Oh, and Bad Company 2 is the best Battlefield. Deal with that, too.
