feenicks.bsky.social @feenicks.bsky.social · 03/09/2026There's a bunch of reasons I feel I should play more pre-2000 FPSes, but one of them is to figure out if Halo's 2-weapon/weapon replacement thing was the way the genre was trending in before the big shift happened 100
feenicks.bsky.social @feenicks.bsky.social · 03/09/2026Gathering a big stock of ammo and then drawing down during big encounters is a very dungeon crawlery mode of operation, and from 2026 it's easy to see a path from that to "hey, what if the weapons themselves are what's being swapped out and replenished?" I just wander what the actual path taken was 100

Halo's basically on its own for "here's a pile of guns, you only get 2" until we start hitting the mixed "rogue -like/-lite" types of games. 000
