Yet again, learn to crouch walk. It's not my fault you're painfully obvious when using it.

Also, 100 feet is complete hyperbole.

Yes and no. I wasn't expecting that much from it, and it lived up to my standards. However, most people were expecting a lot more out of it then I was. So, I guess it'll be a no in my opinion.
I just want you to please note that any knowledge I show throughout NS is based off of a 3rd grade education. All this means is that I probably know absolutely nothing about any subject I post about.

Umm? What? Both happened during a cut scenes, not gameplay. Granted they did add fall damage to Reach, that doesn't mean it's a bad game.

gameplay or not, it's inconsistent, and i take storyline and gameplay into one.

also, i found the entire halo series unimpressive, save for the mounting on vehicles

So when you play a game that doesn't let you jump, but then your character jumps over something during a cut scene, does that automatically mean it's a poor game? Because you said inconsistency =poor game.

As for the second part, I don't really care. It's a personal opinion, I'm not gonna sit here and debate with you for hours whether it's a good game.

You have to admit, it'd be retarded. You'd just feel like the game designer or even the character is messing with you ("WHY WON'T YOU JUMP FOR ME???!!! :( :( :( "). Admittedly, Berzerker was fucking fun to play and it had very little story (and I think Berzerker had the most characters, making it the one with the most story. :palm: ).

However, the Halo franchise is just another sci-fi money factory. It's not going anywhere new or exciting or worthy, that's for damn sure.

It doesn't need to go anywhere new or exciting. You can tell from the games and ViDocs that Bungie put a lot of effort into the franchise, and they're all very passionate about it. In my eyes, that's what counts most ;)
