I never saw the big deal about Halo anyway because I'm an old man and by the time Halo came out I had played plenty of better FPSs on the PC. Halo was always for the younger set who had never experienced the glories of Quake or Unreal Tournament or Half Life or the dozen or so PC FPSs that beat it hands down.
The point is, I love Call of Duty. If Infinity Ward came to me about remaking the first in the series (and if I was a kick ass programmer), I would automatically think about what was just done in Black Ops and MW3 and try to figure out how we can make the remake better by incorporating some of the incredible advances in the 10 years or so since the original was released. Maybe that's just me...but I agree that this makes the prospects for Halo 4 a little more scary."

Probably the reason it won't happen."
One of my favorite MMOs ever made was Ultima Online. It came out at a time when the MMO was not even a real term yet. Because of that, they made it a completely real world. You couldnt kill another person in town, but other than that anything goes. Step outside of town and you might be killed by another person or by a creature. In town, you might get your pocket picked. In all too many games these days, like Rob so brilliantly analogizes it's more like a roller coaster than an actual adventure. Roller coasters can be fun but nothing beats braving a living breathing world and figuring out everything on your own.
Great article for a great game!"
