I want a cataclysm, ditch the shields in Halo, ditch cover mechanics in Gears, rip it all out. 343 and The Coalition are terrified of destroying what they hold. They cling on too fucking hard and it's sucking the life out of them. But do they have any other choice? do they have the expertise to build something new and better?
Halo came out a strange intersection when console shooters were exiting the Goldeneye and Perfect Dark era, Halo 3 managed to bring the glory of Halo 2 onwards, but Call of Duty 4, which also came out in 2007, successfully merged PC and console gameplay and shooters went in a different direction. Halo's multiplayer has struggled to update itself and feel fresh ever again. Gears started to feel worn after Gears of War 3.
We have played soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much Gears and Halo at this point. Hundreds and hundreds of hours. All with the same gameplay. It's tiresome.
We are facing a whole generation of trite gameplay from 2 legends that deserve better. Like God of War, like Breath of the Wild, they need to gut the old games and build something new. Destroy it all. But do they possess the will and drive to pull something like that off? it would take a lot longer development time, and the pressure to be a success would be 10 times higher. It would take massive balls and unwavering commitment.
