|It doesnt matter what reasons you come up with for why a game has to change or why it isnt like the previous games but it all comes down to one thing-
Will people play the game, will it be seen as a classic like some of the previous games?
For me, im struggleing to keep playing, i just dont enjoy the game, i played Halo one for over 5 years because it had 5+ awesome maps, Gulch, sidewinder, hangemhigh, ice fields, danger canyon, infinity, Halo 4 hasnt got ONE map that is HALF as good as any of those.
also, CTF is my gametype, its all i play, and by this point it has been so watered down for the noobs its rediculous, if the team gets the flag past half way you might as well let them cap for the only reason they can die and respawn and keep edging the flag untill they cap, and past half the map they have less travel time than you. This wouldnt be a problem if i could play custom settings via a custom lobby, but they didnt think to include that in the game, im stuck with matchmaking and default map settings.
In halo 1 very good players would miss with the sniper rifle from time to time, in this they made it so easy- average players seem to never miss.
They can make it like COD or any other game for all i care, as long as the game is fun to play.
But like i said, when all is said and done i probably wont play this for more than another few weeks while i played Halo one for well over 5 years.
