I know this whole thing has been beat to death but this was a bummer for me. It seemed to me that the slow stream of info for this game started out with "Hey we are bringing back the Halo you all have wanted! BR, hitscan, movement more akin to Halo 2/3." I was super excited for the possibility of Halo returning to the type of game that I loved playing night in and night out. Now it seems more like "We might have a classic playlist but the direction we are taking the Halo franchise isn't the Halo you know." We don't know the details and maybe things will shake out differently but I feel like I got the bait and switch. Justified or not at this point that is how I feel.
Yeah this. Ultimately though I get the feeling the plan is that classic mode will be amazing to please the traditional fans, if classic mode is that damn good then I will be happy. I just worry that classic mode will be playing second place to the new stuff and so wont have the time and care it needs.
I also don't know how I could possibly get excited about a game where I know I will be sticking to a neutered classic mode. I would only be looking forward to increased netcode, for sure it wont live up to actually playing classic Halo unless its the meat and bones of the game, which it wont be.
