@Pyrosa: I just remember how innovative Halo 2 was and how they were the first to do a bunch of great things (matchmaking comes to mind) now it just feels like they steal every idea from COD and put a Halo skin on it and call it "new"
Hopefully it's more like Halo 2 and less like Call of Duty. Great multiplayer, great ranking system, no loadouts, no killcams, no XP, every game was tracked and could be looked at online, more classic Halo and less COD
@buzznugget: I think there are tons of people who play this in their mid to late 30's who have a some disposable income who, because of job and family, don't have a ton of time to learn the ins and outs of a new game who find COD's still fun because you know what you are getting, can pick up and play it every year and still know what you are getting. I know Call of Duty gets a lot of crap for being almost the same game every year but maybe that's what people who play it are looking for.
I like that they moved the scoreboard. I only play defense in CHEL and a lot of the time the scoreboard would get in the way when I would play back trying to cover a cherry picker it would always cover up the play if it was up by the net, even though it dimmed it was still annoying and the only way to fix it was to turn off the scoreboard completely which then you couldn't see the clock.
@shadowwarrior4: it has the same guy but it's a new version built for the newer consoles, if you liked the one on the SNES you will like this one, it's the same game with better graphics and updated rosters. I really liked it and all these years later still play it now and again
