But GAME is dead....
Man I miss the Revenant
You can still find them. Click the stick when you're in the theater lobby selecting a film and select your history. For whatever reason the Select Film listing defaults to films you've hard saved to your storage device, not your temporary history or hell, the menu to select where you want to pull films from. It works like before, but it's just buried, like so many other things in the new UI.
All that hate's gonna burn you up, kid.
I hope you know how utterly alone you are in this sentiment.Man I miss the Revenant
Spartan Ops seems like such a missed opportunity. We've only seen one episode but so far it's been a bunch of missions in random locations with little to no connection to each other where you press a bunch of button and in the end you just teleport into a Pelican and you fly off to the next location. This would've all been fine if the missions were actually challenging, but the infinite respawns just completely take that away so it ends up feeling more like a grind than anything. Add to that the still existing input-lag and all I see is a waste of resources that the rest of the game could've really needed.
It was too glitchy. You could easily get flung into a cliffside at a million miles an hour, thrown up in the air with absolutely no chance of surviving because of the "return to battlefield" prompts, and a passenger with a sniper rifle would get instant headshots. But the biggest reason I dislike the Revenant is because it replaced one of the most beautiful vehicles Bungie ever made: The Chopper.
People's perceptions of Halo difficulty is surprisingly fluid. Personally I find Halo 2 Legendary hardest, followed by Reach (cheap bastard Elites), and then Halo CE and Halo 3 pretty even. Others think that Halo CE Legendary is the hardest. So far Halo 4 Heroic hasn't been too bad except when I strafe off a cliff.
There's certainly room for improvement, no doubt about it. I would absolutely love to see these missions have a limited life scenario, where you could gain lives by staying alive up to certain checkpoint. I'd also love to see scoring implemented and the difficulty scaled to the amount of players in the mission.
I was hoping (and I'm still hoping for) for missions that cater to a specific type of gameplay. Have a training course level, a sniper level, a stealth level, a race level, a firefight level, an air vehicle level, that kind of stuff. It's still possible to a certain extend but loadouts hinder this kind of stuff. The levels that we've seen so far don't bode that well for the future missions either because so far we've just been thrown into an area, had to kill some dudes, go to a waypoint, press a button, move to the next area and kill more dudes until a Pelican pick you up. Only variation being that there's vehicles thrown into the mix every now and then.
