Not compared to anything, I'm just not seeing anything that's exciting. What they've shown so far is just shoot and jump, shoot and jump, that's it. It makes for a very boring trailer. I remember the E3 demo was pretty much the same, the shooting mechanics looked bland and didn't seem to bring anything new or at least exciting to the table.
Again new and exciting as compared to what? I just want a frame of reference as to which fps games you find looks more exciting from the trailer. Battlefield 4, cod ghosts? You can't really say it looks boring unless you actually make a comparison to another game you find not boring and honestly, I think bungie knows what they are doing and it will be fantastic. I have never hidden the fact that I am a huge fan of bungie and their work though.
They showed new stuff...melee powerups, powering up a weapon using some power as well using some energy field generates by the character.
Until they allow it on PC, its just going to sit there on the radar as a minor blip...
Ok...so what? You PC guys will make another worthless petition to get a PC version. I can see the tears now.
I think you have your blinders on. There are plenty of FPS out there with alien races that don't look like Halo. This isn't one of them. But I mean it makes sense, it's by the guys who did Halo....
No I just think you are inherently bias. If this was only on PC I bet you'd have a different attitude toward it. I don't see anything aside from aliens, fps mechanics, and the crosshairs that even resemble halo in a cursory way. There is especially nothing in this particular trailer that says "hey guys we made halo if you liked that then you'll like this spiritual successor".
As I said above they even showed energy field powerups for melee combat and using the energy to power up a weapon as well. Something that wasn't in any halo game.
