I strongly disagree with you

In Response To: Re: Just curious... (Joe Duplessie (SNIPE 316))

: I won't be able to enjoy 343's "Halo" because it doesn't look like
: Halo, doesn't sound like Halo, and now it doesn't even play like Halo.

Having just played 1, 2 (partly through because I like playing ODST after Metropolis, then finishing 2) and 3. I'm now on 4 and remember strongly enjoying the Halo 5 beta. I find a lot of 343's work streamlines Halo. Things are snappier, more satisfying and I'm making even more strategic decisions when approaching engagements. In the earlier Halo's I rely on a very specific set of weapons I harvest from each engagement whereas with 4 I enjoy a wider arsenal that is more useful in the end. The addition of Prometheans, while I hope they get more work, is a great mix up to what the prior Halos provided. There are only so many games where I want to methodically BR (or pistol) combo every major enemy.

Halo, to me, is a mastery of environment, weapon selection, and teamwork. I definitely felt like Halo 4 MP was a step back in that regard. However, after playing the Halo 5 beta, I really think 343 have their hearts in the right place and am really excited about it.

I'm definitely getting the game Day 1, if not pre-order (not sure why exactly I would pre-order it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ )
