^ ^ What can I say?! Its in my blood to have a good fight. Edit Here is my point explained. Simply put: I put been spoilt. Well kinda..... You see Assassins creed used to be my favourite franchise. Its had gotten to the point where everyone in family knew about it. I was even asked recently by several family members. "I thought you loved Assassins Creed, why have you not pre ordered the new one?" So to why I am not getting the newest one is because I am burnt out and spoiled. Assassins creed syndicate embodies everything I hate about the franchise. I began to get burnt out on the franchise around Ac3, I found the game incredibly boring. But I think it was universally agreed by everyone that the best part about that game as the ship combat. So Ac4 comes out, with a massive open world to explore, with your own ship. I came into the game with low burnt out expectations and was happily blown away. The ship gameplay was exhilarating. The first civilisation crap was kept to a minimum in favour of a much more down to earth story. As well with awesome characters. The game also had a brilliant lead character who was really likeable. Sure you still had to go to cities ( and I hated that ) But the game was so focused on the open sea it didn't matter. Even treasure chests didn't feel like busywork because I just wanted to explore anyway. I actually wanted to get 100 percent and didn't fall sleep while doing it for once in the franchise. Sadly that was not to be, Ac unity came next and didn't bring back ships. I played the game for a bit, I got to sequence four and quickly got bored. The side missions were boring, the city was boring. The characters were boring. EVERYTHING WAS BORING! Everything felt like busywork. Now you could argue that these side missions were no better that Black flag. And you would be right. But the thing is the whole ship combat thing pretty much covered up all the series faults and now without it I remember all the faults. and then I see Metal Gear five gameplay. And that just makes Assassins Creed syndicate look like the poor mans open world stealth game. Maybe I would be more excited if the games came out every two years or even three. To give them time to innovate or to simply slow the burnout of the franchise. But they have not done that! Instead of bringing back the only innovative feature in the series, they scrapped it. Mgs v makes Ac just look primitive. I mean I was watching the demo and I could not stop laughing. They even had to say "This is a blackbox mission" But it means so little, so you could sneak in though a window or get taken prisoner, that's hardly innovative, and its just means you get different ways of going in. That all lead to the same result. But you want to know what the worse sin is?! THEY TELL YOU WHERE TO GO TO GET IN! The biggest fun in stealth games is creating your own entrance. You know, randomly finding a guard and him taking your prisoner to get in rather than the game telling you. "Here is a guard, go ask him to take you prisoner" The game is just so much on rails compared to Mgs it is insane. Mgs v gives you full creative freedom and now I get to the point. No Ac game will ever live up to it. My expectations will always be dampened because I will compare it to Mgs v, and no game can compete with it on a stealth level. Its why I don't like Far cry, because it dosent have the nemesis system from Shadow of Mordor. These brilliant games like Shadow of Mordor or Mgs v are brilliant but they also permanently dampen your expectations of similar games because those similar games can never live up to those brilliant ones. anyway that's my two cents.

" A jumbled ton of MP options, but not any I particularly want (like just being able to choose one release's MP experience ) " That is due to the fact Mcc has an extremely low population, they have to combine a bunch of individual playlists to keep the low population together. Then again, that is due to the horrible bugs the game has..... and as I said before. Split screen in Halo 5 campaign mode is 100 percent possible and could happen. Sadly I know 343 isn't going to do it and perhaps that makes the loss of split screen worse because we know its possible. 343 said they did not make the decision to cut splitscreen lightly, yet they never needed to make that decision at all.

^ Yes, but once again Microsoft is partly to blame. 343 you could blame yes, for actually creating some new bugs, but Ms you can also blame. You see 343 is a first party dev so you know, they have very little creative control when it comes to stuff like this. Fixing Mcc makes community sense. Concentrating on Halo 5 makes cooperate sense. Mcc isn't going to make Ms much money anyone, Halo 5 on the other hand, boatloads especially if it launches with hardly any bugs...... That is why there have not been much patches as of late. Because Micrsoft is almost forcing them to exclusively concentrate on Mcc with only a few kept around to make new/rotate playlists for the very small population Mcc has.

*Sigh* This game looks like an absolute joke. Invisibility, Electric bombs?! This isn't the Matrix! This is Assassins Creed! I expect it to be somewhat grounded in the historical era's time period. Assassins creed has lost its way, its as if Ubisoft wants the franchise, to die. This game just looks boring, like another Assassins creed, a few new gadgets, a change in setting and there you go, the next assassins creed. Compare this to Unity and it does not look that different. Black Flag was really good because it had Ships. This game does not have Ships leaving the player to explore a boring city with boring side activities. The side missions are going to be like Unity for sure. Here is a target, they have been doing evil things, go kill them. Great, you killed them, here is 2000 gold or whatever the currency is of that setting. Mainly I'm bashing because of Metal Gear Solid V, compare that game to this and Mgs makes Assassins creed look like the poor mans stealth game. Like, will Ubisoft ever learn that treasure chests are not side missions!? THEY ARE BUSY WORK! POINTLESS BORING BUSY WORK! I hope this game has a horrible launch as much as I would feel sympathy for the people who brought it I want Ubisoft to burn into the ground for the swath of uninspired games they keep bringing out. I don't want people to lose their jobs but I want the company to start innovating. Remember Sony? When they started to have financial trouble they went 100 percent consumer friendly and made Don Mattrick and his cronies look like bogeymen. Well actually, Don Mattick was a bogeyman in real life but that's another story altogether. I will not be getting this game and support and uninspired, boring, cashcow of a franchise!

My second attempt at an article http://www.343industries.org/forum/topic/41258-news-smashup/?view=getnewpost

I found three interesting things that were quite interesting, but I don't think deserve articles on their own, so I combined them into one article. And here it is..... Article one: Fallout 4 will not have a level cap! Here is the Sauce http://www.ign.com/articles/2015/08/06/fallout-4-wont-end-when-the-story-concludes-no-level-cap In recent news Bethesda tweeted on Twitter that unlike all past Fallout games, Fallout 4 will not have a level cap. And unlike Fallout New Vegas that game does not finish once you complete the main story. Article two: Bungie announces plans to change the Destiny levelling system! Here is the oh so tasty sauce! http://www.ign.com/articles/2015/08/04/bungie-revamping-destinys-leveling-system Coming in the upcoming Taken King expansion for Destiny is a massive change to its levelling system. Destiny will no longer have to Light system in place. The Light system being how you level up after you reach level 20, by collecting gear with the Light in it. Instead the new system will be very much how you levelled up before level 20. By completing bounties, killing enemy's and completing missions among other activities. Instead of being tied to your gear. “The conflation of gear and character level led to this place where your identity was determined by things outside of your control,” creative director Luke Smith said on the upcoming change. “We don’t want to do that.” Bungie has also stated they are working on tweaking the loot system, hopefully ensuring you get less of the same loot you have already gotten. Now for final article: The Metal Gear Solid V Pc specs have been revealed! Sauce: http://uk.ign.com/articles/2014/11/20/metal-gear-solid-5-ground-zeroes-pc-requirements-revealed Recently the official Pc specs for the upcoming Metal Gear Solid game, the Phantom Pain have been announced. And here they are. Minimum OS: Windows 7×64, Windows 8×64 (64-bit OS Required) Processor: Intel Core i5-4460 (3.40 GHz) or better; Quad-core or better Memory: 4 GB RAM Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 650 (2GB) or better (DirectX 11 card Required) DirectX: Version 11 Hard Drive: 28 GB available space Sound Card: DirectX 9.0c compatible sound card Recommended OS: Windows 7×64, Windows 8×64 (64-bit OS Required) Processor: Intel Core i7-4790 (3.60GHz) or better; Quad-core or better Memory: 8 GB RAM Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 (DirectX 11 graphic card required) DirectX: Version 11 Hard Drive: 28 GB available space Sound Card: DirectX 9.0c compatible sound card (Surround Sound 5.1) I hope you enjoyed reading!

^ I can agree with that. Putting in 60fps in Halo has nothing to do with time constraints. You see if they really wanted to 343 could put in splitscreen but only for campaign. But they have not done that. I could be down to time constraints but I am not so sure this time.

^ I not going to fight over splitscreen vs 60fps as that is generally a preference, however..... "remember. MCC left a really bad taste in my mouth but after what seemed an eternity, finally the game is somewhat playable" Now you want to know who is really responsiable for Mcc being a mess? Not 343, no...... But Microsoft. They gave 343 a very short development cycle to port all the games over to the Xb1, then make Halo 2A then make all the games 1080p 60fps. And make sure all the servers and working all the bugs ironed out. That was impossible given the small time 343 was given. Ms wanted to rush the game out for the holiday season, and look what happened. Blame Ms not 343 for the Mcc.

Who or what are you talking about? If your talking about characters from Halo wars, I am sure some of the characters will come back, wasn't Red team in the trailer anyway?
