      It's odd when people say this when they know this is part of a series known for this style of gameplay. So what about Zelda, Final Fantasy or God of War?

      It really doesn't, but it does look like a Halo game. Which it is. What are you expecting?

      If they make something new, it will be a new IP, and not Halo. As far as innovative is concerned, Bungie is still miles ahead of the competition in creating stable, balanced, and enduring multiplayer FPS gameplay, so I'm not sure what the complaint is.

            Maybe they didn't realize the major sales drop on the last Halo Title....

      I want to like Halo MP, but for some reason the gameplay just comes up short every time compared to games like the CoD and Battlefield series. The Halo weapons are just not as much fun as the "real" weapons in the other series. They are not even as fun as the weapons in a game like Quake 1, 2, or 3. Plus I hate how slow the movement is.

        The game isn't anything NEW. It's another FPS game using a popular world with an updated engine each time.

        I want something NEW Bungie. Be a bit more creative than updating an engine, creating new game modes, and adding new weapons. I'm assuming you can think of something with a bit more substance.
