What are you talking about, real Halo is the likes of Blood Gulch, Battle Creek, and Sidewinder...






...with crosshairs in the CENTER of the screen and non-regenerative health bars.

Blood gulch sucks, valhalla is so much better thought out and more interesting. I prefer lower crosshairs, I enjoy seeing more of the environment and it doesn't degrade the gameplay in any way.

Lower cross-hairs has no bearing on field of view whatsoever...and it makes me feel like I'm looking through a cardboard tube.

If your crosshair is lower, you see less of the ground, more of the sky.

To people keeping abreast of updates, has there been a call whether or not Elites are a playable race in any capacity within Multiplayer? I understand they're out of Matchmaking, but do we know if they're available or not for custom games?

im tempted to go into a full analysis of this in a bunch of different first person shooters. im curious now.

I believe they aren't available period. I think their reasoning was so they could do other things in its place, which is understandable. Still, I'll miss Invasion so much.

This. There is a reason why it was moved from center. Although I don't mind a centered crosshair, I don't mind it being lowered either. The gameplay is still quality regardless. I simply can't wait for this game because I haven't played a good Sci-Fi FPS since last year. I am also incredibly excited that Valhalla is back. So many memories on that map.

It was moved from the center so that the shots line up with the origins of the gun "more naturally." It has nothing to do with play and it makes aiming up for headshots feel like driving a car with a lowered rear suspension.

Fake E: Valhalla also doesn't play better than Sidewinder and Battlecreek did. Bloodgulch was more tongue in cheek because I know everybody hates that level, but if it wasn't fun then it wouldn't be popular. That's the same justification I know you all will give for Halos 2 through 4.

this always bugged the shit out of me. it makes the game feel really claustrophobic for me. i dont play much halo these days, but in any shooter, i tend to run around with my cursor at head level, especially when turning corners. i kinda wish it was toggle-able in a menu somewhere, especially since you still have hud elements on the bottom corners of the screen. a lot of screen estate at the top, but youre not doing much with it when youre shooting at someone and going for headshots.
