[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] MadroKurgan The whole point is to make the game more fun and less frustrated for the skilled player. To rely on precision, instead of the roll of dice. [/quote]The point is for Bungie to find out who the most important people to please are. A very vocal minority who may or may not be professional or the average Joe who really does want to have fun in another time and place. Perhaps these "skilled" players who seek changes are a bigger percentage of the population than I would guess. If that is the case they will either get what they want or Halo 3 will wither away. [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] MadroKurgan Halo 1 MP was the perfect example of this. It wasn't nearly as polished as Halo 3, but was more fun and less frustrating - When i died, it was due to my failure instead of the games fault.[/quote]Never played the multiplayer much. I started with Halo 2 so downgrading seemed unfathomable. What I've seen was too boring to look at. The textures, colour, lighting and contrast were difficult to bother with. I would have loved it and then dropped it when Halo 2 came out, that's a certainty.
