Well, same logic. If you want old halo feel or ideas go play halo 2.

And this is supposed to be the future, the grapple hook makes sense. As dose super soldiers who defy physics and space ships that move faster than light .

Side note original doom is nothing like doom eternal yet everyone loves it. Why can't halo try new things too.

Except that Doom Eternal and Destiny 2 are the latest games in their franchises, while Halo 2 is sixteen years old. So, not the same logic. It's absurd to take what I said to mean that nothing can be new in Halo either, when my complaint was that Halo wasn't itself anymore, based on what we have seen of Infinite.

Doom Eternal is very similar to Doom...? You face demons in levels and arenas. There's new, but it doesn't change what Doom is. It's not like Doom Eternal is suddenly open-world/semi-open-world, (as Infinite now is, based on the world premiere)...

bro I swear to God one new feature gets added to halo and everyone goes ballistic its actually stupid and besides its literally gonna be equipment in multiplayer lmao

Apologies for wanting to play a new Halo game, rather than a game that seems to want to be anything but, based on what we have actually seen.

But its literally a halo game? like dude what are you on about I mean id totally get if you were pissed if the grapple hook was a spartan ability but no its literally going to be just like h3 equipment that you have to fight for it literally does not make it any less halo.

Everything shown thus far isn't classic Halo, enhanced movement and kill-focused weapons are only the start and the grapple hook just seems to be a pointless addition that no one really wanted or asked for, I suspect competitive playlists in Infinite will disable it completely ( especially if you can cheese map design by pulling a power weapon to yourself 2 seconds off spawn )

Sprinting isn't enhanced mobility. I don't know what you mean by 'kill-focused weapons' but I'm going to assume that you mean every weapon is made to kill rather then CE where the plasma rifle is only made to drain shields. We've only seen like 5 weapons out of a whole sandbox so you can't say that yet as for all we know, there could be a bunch of non kill focused weapons. That grapple hook looks like it will add to the sandbox and create new ways to interact with objects around you. Also, again, we dont know how it will work in multiplayer. If they only added stuff that people asked for then it would be boring as there wouldn't be new things that the developers had thought of and usually the gameplay is built around another component of the game or it is built around the gameplay so it would probably be awful if they only added things that we asked for. Also some people liked the idea of a grapple hook and were asking for it. Also you mentioned like 3 things that werent halo when saying the whole game doesn't look like halo. It's on a ring, the art style is much more classic, the maps are huge and open, the banished is acting as a new covenant, using the sandbox. Tell me more examples of it not being halo from what we've seen and I might change my mind.

Easy. Because it was shown through Doom (2016) and Doom Eternal development that they actually understood what made Doom and Doom 2 the cult classics they are and they showed great care in getting that same feeling, mood, lore and enemy types into the game. You can even say they took more care in terms of character writing than 343 did even though the Doom marine doesn't speak a word. There's not even a contest between the two franchises and how they were handled.

• Sprinting IS enhanced mobility
• every new weapon 343 has added since H4 has been kill-focused
• grapplehook is just chasing Doom's meathook
• until they show MP then we must assume the worst because 343 has a bad track record
• changing things for no reason is what kills franchises
• Nobody was asking for a grapple hook, nobody
• gameplay > graphics and art style and the gameplay is a let down

I don’t see what the problem is, it’s already been confirmed it’s not something you will spawn with in multiplayer it will probably be more like an equipment pick up like we had in Halo 3 and I believe most people agree that the equipment in Halo 3 was a good add on. For campaign it’s also something that will probably be customizable, with it being open world and all I’m sure it will have its moments and other times you won’t use it at all. The grappling hook is something new and I’m down for it. I won’t complain until I personally play with it and see problems. Plus for those who say it’s unrealistic like come on it’s all based 500 + years from now they have explosions in space just enjoy the game and use your imagination.
