codename: Halo Zero 3D (Halo: The Elite Force) final engine test Review
By Narcissus on

Pros: Ultimate 3-D. This games looks very legit upon looking at it. Shows potential. Graphics look polished.
Cons: Several flaws. After you play it, it seems very unprofessional. Unfinished, even as an engine
Looks good, not fun.
Upon playing it I thought this: "Yes! I wanted a good Halo game!!!". It looked legit so I was happy. My computer sucks, so I went upstairs to my good computer, downloaded the plugin... then I played it... the Assault rifles animation has 3 ammo things... 1 green, 1 blue, and 1 other one I forget(this is an engine, so I guess this'll be improved upon the final version). The enemies are 1 shot kills(again, its an engine, it'll probably be fixed), but they seemed waaay too weak. The controls were good, but felt very influent to me, not sure if its a personal thing, or if it happens to everyone. Shooting enemies was way to easy, you're crosshair didn't even need to be on them, I remember firing directly at the ceiling. If its Ultimate 3-D you should make it so the bullets need to hit it to die. But then again, I saw no bullets. When you got hurt, you never got a notifier, a reddish screen, nor an 'ouch' sound to show you got hurt. And when you die, it kicks you out of the game so you need to reload it!
Graphics looked legit though. Looked decent. I was hoping for a jump option since it was ultimate 3-D, but I thought: "Nah, its not really necessary...". If the enemies were more unique, this game would be more fun.
All in all: This is a good START. I really hope this isn't your "Final" engine like you say... because no offence, but its not fun. If you improve this though, it would definately be fun. Good work so far, but put some more effort into it.
My overall rating is 2/4 stars, for the ENGINE, its a half done engine, double the work you put into this and it'll be 4/4. This concludes my review.
