(This is the main reason Halo 4 doesn't feel like Halo.)

[BxSouljah]

Not Halo 3, Reach, or 4.

 

Pretty much sums it up.

[chaosTheory]

To me, the core of Halo is a game where the following sentences are true:

 

You spawn with a chance at all ranges.

If you died, you could have avoided it or traded.

WIth power comes difficulty.

There are no checkmate scenarios.

 

Yeah, it's 28 words but three of these four sentences say the same thing. GIVE THE PLAYER A CHANCE. The power of the weapon you spawn with is so important to what makes great halo. Dont JIP spawn me into longbow where everyone has camo snipe at top B  and someone is PVing for crouch walkers because there is literally nothing I can do if they are the least bit competent.  If you start with the right principles, the gameplay will follow - IT HAS TO. ELIMINATE. CHECKMATE. SCENARIOS. - By any means necessary.
