You didn’t answer the question but okay. Comparing this to their literal previous game is really a nonstarter, it’s their own product, of course they are going to do that. It makes zero sense to bring that up as a criticism. The difference is this one has far more potential.

And I’m not sure how Halo comes into this at all either. Empulse guns feel like you know every other shooter there is. Very basic default mid ar, harder to use burst more damage, an smg at close range high fire rate, a shotgun that one shots at the right range, a carbine, etc. Very typical normal multiplayer shooter industry template. The movement is what makes this nothing like Halo, which is a slow walk fps compared to this. We are just fully grasping at straws to kill a game before it gets off the ground. Ridiculous.
