They did give you something small....the enjoyability of this game. Why the heck would they make more big maps? This has NEVER been a BTB game. But only one of the original maps is even medium sized. The rest are BTB maps. 343.....blows

So BO2 comes out tonight. And I am curious how many kids go play the new game instead of COD in a spartan suit.

I was really hoping for a true halo game. And the first few matches seemed pretty good. But after playing even more games, it isnt the same. not even close. Its better than reach, but thats not saying much, because that game sucked bad. 343 in an atttempt to appeal to the ADD retard kids that buy games now, have secluded those of us that made this game what it is. From CE to present halo, ive played them all. And 3 was the last one I actually enjoyed playing. Its all been downhill since then.

Its a remake of Reach...the greandes, the maps that are too big and slow game play. This game has far too much camping now with the vision perk. They brought back the BR, but the DMR shoots so fast, they might as well have left it out of the game again.

Are you freaking serious? There are no weapons or ammo on the map. And the ones that are there are marked so you know where an enemy is if they grab it (which is like GOW). You only start with one freaking hand grenade? Grenades have been a staple for Halo since CE and being good with grenades was vital for success in the other installments (except of course for that POS Reach). The grenades dont bounce with consistancy, and you cant bank them off walls like you used to. Halo had a feel and was the most popular game on the MLG circut. Then reach hit and what happened? Enough said. You are probably a younger kid and dont get it. You will one day when they take a game what was solely based on competitiveness, and make it a game for noobs. I play just as much COD as I do Halo....actually more COD since Reach came out and I almost threw it in the garbage can....And the last two halo games remind me, and a lot of other longtime Halo players, of COD. The last point I will make is how many designers from Treyarch work for 343. Thread over

Like anything its boils down to money. Bungie got tired of being outsold by COD games. COD appeals to more people becuse its a casual game. You dont have to be good to max out your prestige either (which is a joke). In essence, they sold out for the people who sucked at previous halo games. I was one of them. The highest skill I achieved in H2 was a 40. And a 45 in Halo 3. I knew I wasnt very good. But I am SUPER competitive and always played because I wanted to win. I am far older than most of the kids on this board so I can say this. My generation, guys like Walshy and T2 we are competitive. There was no priize for just playing. The prize was winning. But the new generation is too ADD to stick with a game they are not really good at and practice. They are an entitled bunch that want instant gratification. Halo used to be about skill. Everyone started with the same weapons, there were power weapons on the map which required skill and MAP CONTROL to obtain. That is all gone now. Halo 3 started it with the power drain and crap like that. Its gotten way out of hand. Skill is no longer the biggest factor in winning the game. Its a game for the masses, not the competitive skilled players that used to love this game. 343 has failed thus far with this game. Or at least add a playlist that gets rid of all the crap. The new graphics are cool, but thats really all i bought it for. I still want the old competitive game play. And for crying out loud, make some decent maps...everything is too big. Its a freaking camp fest so far. end/rant
