Halo Recruit

This quick demo starts off showing the capabilities of VR. The 3D covenant in VR look great! Excited to play then it's a bitterly disappointing 2D shooting gallery in a 3D world!!?? Wtf!? Then I remember I paid $5 for it so not a total wash. Even master chief looks good in VR eventhough he's a midget. Then the warthog comes in, looks great, makes me get really excited to jump in the gunners spot & it ends! ******! This entire thing would've been so much better with 3D VR covenant running back in forth to shoot at. I will say though that if this game comes out in full VR with the covenant & warthog looking like they did in 3D (not in the shooting gallery) I'd definitely be willing to download a game the size of a couple terabytes & pay whatever it costs to play. Seriously so much potential it gives me hope for the near future.

You're facing in one direction for 90% of the experience. No interactivity besides shooting targets on a flat screen. Hand models are badly placed relative to the controllers. 343 would have been better off just making the warthog-gunner tease at the end into an actual game, rather than ending the experience before the player has a chance to use it. It would have been an ideal use of VR since those guns can rotate 360 degrees. Oh well.

Seriously it's duck hunt in VR. You're stuck facing one direction (not even your defined center direction) 90% of the game, I still had to get up to pick up my guns despite defining that my environment is seated only. Then it's just 5 mins of shooting stuff on a large screen in a VR environment, until you get teased by Master Chief who comes on for 20 seconds to say you're now the gunner and fades to black. At least it's free not like Ghostbusters.

When Master Chief shows up and the end of the "training" and says I'm on the gun - I got so pumped up, only to find out that was the end of the game!!! NOOOOOOO!!! Please make a true Halo VR
