trying to come to grips with the idea of ppl being nostalgic about halo 3 and thinking it was good instead of the hosed up death of a good series

Halo 4 where they abandoned 4 games worth of iteration and perfection to make a call of duty reskin is arguably the death of the series. It is also the first game to run out of players in less than 3 months

bungie never knew how to perfect the series in the first place. most of the best apects of 2 are happy accidents, and with halo 3 they got their actual design vision across and made it obvious that its a really bad one

What were the changes from 2 to 3. 3 was the first 360 one right?

yeah. mostly a whole lot of mechanical tweaks that make a much much worse whole. like lower gun accuracy across the board for everything but the sniper, so half or more of the weapons were closerange spray. or bump-mapping every surface in order to be next-gen, which made grenades bounced on walls sometimes fly off in random directions or just stop and fall to the ground

also for some reason they were really dedicated to trying to be glitch-less, even though glitches added a ton of depth to the previous game and were fun to do

no one should care about console shooters this much

most of my first three years of college were spent with people who constantly had 8 to 16 person halo 2 lans at apartments.
