Halo: Reach is a great example of what they could do. It's a small amount of space where a lot happens. I didn't mind the current space combat except for two things; 1 its not mmo, you can never play it with another person. 2 The higher level missions are the same mission but now the fighters have shields and the enemies do more damage. Both these problems would be fixed if they let us fly around in the exact same mission space. 1 multiplayer because you go one way and your friend goes another. 2 you can change up the order in which you do the objectives. And the quote about rpg players not understanding 3d gameplay is just silly. Is the ability to turn around really that devastating to us? Have some faith in your player base
