Got H2 Wednesday. Finally got to play it T-day. Man was I UN-impressed.
Maybe without all the hype, it would have been at least acceptable.
I didn't like how the story was expanded,... coming from both sides of
the coin. Good way to leave the door cracked for H3. In that one I see
us and the Covenant as allies (well at least with their rebel side), and
the intro of a third/forth yet unseen antagonist,
What I didn't like is how they muddied the waters when it came to
weapons. Great, there's a better assortment, but I wished they hadn't
backed off of the kill level associated with the side arm. Man that .45
proved very handy in close quarters with the flood in H1. It feels like
they backed off with the shotgun too. Just doesn't seem to have the same
kill potential in Legendary as it did in H1. IN the real world, a
shotgun may not penitrate all God has to offer, but it sure will knock
your ass down. And what's up with this boost thing on the Ghost? Where's
my cannon fire. Did I miss it or is it gone?
I gathered from the bonus DVD that they still had a rush on. Maybe
that's why to me is feels more like a quilt rather than a comforter.
But still, I'm glad it here. I did enjoy it, expecially the graphics and
the added interaction with comrads, enimy and surroundings. But I got
this strange feeling that I'll be popping H1 in from time to time, if
nothing more than to stay in touch with the good ole days!
Am I alone in this judgement?
