In Response To: Mechanical and Aesthetically Clash (Cody Miller)

: Out of context, the work 343 has done on MCC looks very good. The graphics
: are detailed, and modern looking. Everything seems great. Until you play
: the game.

: The problem I had was that while the visuals improved, the mechanics of the
: game did not. There was a clash with the more realistic visuals, and the
: floaty movements and kinetics. Imagine if you took Doom and updated the
: visuals to be modern and 3D, but kept the character movement exactly the
: same. It would feel out of place and comical. This is what I felt happened
: with MCC.

: It doesn't feel as bad when played originally, because the original graphics
: on the Xbox were not as detailed and sophisticated, and meshed much better
: with the mechanics.

: Not much 343 could do since they were sticking to how it originally played,
: but it's fascinating how just changing the graphics can make the game feel
: 'wrong'.
Are you talking about Halo 2? Because Halo 2 always felt kind of bad.

CEA was a bit weird at first but then I got used to it quickly.
