Halo 3 'Feels' Like Halo 1

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the master-chief-reporting-in dept.

1up reports on comments from Bungie, who has come out to say that their next title Halo 3 will 'feel' like the first Halo: Combat Evolved. From the article: "'I have been playing through Campaign mode purely for kicks. Exploring, in fact,' [Frank O'Connor] says. 'There's lots of the feel of the original Halo, where you'll find yourself in a huge (dangerous) and intrinsically fascinating environment and just want to go tool around and check things out.' At the same time, O'Connor is quick to dismiss that Bungie's developing a sandbox, Grand Theft Auto-inspired shooter."

    What does a halo feel like? Is it rubbery? Slippery? Does it maybe feel like glass or is it more like taffy? Perhaps like a feather? Oh wait... uh.. wrong forum...

      I have seen RMS's halo live, and I can tell you, it's round, and heavy, and kind of metallic.
      I suppose it must feel like an old HDD platter.

      Dunno, but I'll check it out. There's one hanging from the corner of my girlfriend's bed. I'll see if I can borrow it for the weekend, maybe.

      It feels floaty.

      Honestly, that was always my favorite part of Halo 1, the sense that everything was operating under reduced-gravity, with a bouncy shroud around it. I called it "squishy physics." Made the Banshee a helluva lot of fun to fly.

      Did you meet her at the dog show? And did the shriners loan you cars?

    All I want to know is, did they make the pistol suck less than it does in Halo 2? Because that was a bit disappointing.

    Grab the jeep, run around shooting crap randomly, get the local authorities pissed off, then duck into the nearest Covenant camp for a Deathrace 2000-inspired mowing festival. Presto, new color for the jeep!

    Besides if you ever get lost, just keep drivin, you'll come back around in a while ;)
