It’s nothing like Halo, it’s an extraction pvp gsme. More like a Battle Royale than anything Halo.
Its like people are not understanding this part. Its no more a 'halo killer' than destiny was. how many IPs will bungie have to make before people realise bungie are no longer chasing that ghost. We live in an era where COD is the overlord of FPS in terms of sales.....fortnight is a thing...battle royal is the most popular type of pvp shooter.
We dont even know the player count...could be 6V6, like destiny. bungie was never into the massive multi player counts, so im not expecting triple digit players on the map. Im expecting a tight, small team based PVP game. they speak of world lore but without a story mode im not sure whos gonna be paying attention. I like overwatch but have no idea what is going on in that world.
Im curious to see how they intend to build lore in a competitive enviroment where you spend most of your time trying not to die. i wont be opening terminals mid match for the sake of giving an opposing team an easy kill... so how will they deliver the lore/story. maybe all we get is apex/fortnight/overwatch style CGI cutscenes, that really only serve as teasers, that will beg for a single player mode to tell the story properly. OG marathon had a story mode. jus sayin...
I like the design/art style though. visually its not breaking any new ground but as usually with bungie games they know how to really create some pretty worlds that make you stop and take in the details. I can deffo see that from what they have shown so far. but what will it play like and will it hold peoples attention? I kind of tuned out of destiny due to just feeling fatigued with the game after years of playing it and never missing a season. they build their games quite robust so i know ill be into it. I just hope they dont bring over the practice of weapon grinding. made destiny start to feel like a chore or repetition. the raid are fun if you got a full party but the seasonal stuff was just rinse wash and repeat. I hope they have a better 'loop' in mind for this game.
