I looked at this yesterday. I can't express my disappointment.
I KNOW they can do better then that. I want to ask them a simple "why?"
And I have your answer: profitability. I have and will continue to maintain that 343i, as a subsidiary of Microsoft (whom I assume are the people behind this), exists for the purpose of making Microsoft money only, and has only cursory interest in the lore. They will do whatever they can to get that money, to the extent of alienating a few viewers so they can hire a little-known actor with only a bit of experience so as to pay him less for the role.
Boycott it if it happens, my friends. That's my advice.Isn't this basically what Bungie did with Halo 2, 3, ODST, and Reach? Halo 2 and 3 basically made it so new players can stand against seasoned players. Nothing wrong with that, but it did take away from Halo CE gameplay and thus, throughout all the changes, they still cater to a more average audience.
Again, I'm glad they did, but I still remember al lthe threads from Halo 2 and Halo 3 about how it's been "noobified" and catered toward casuals.You see, I still don't understand this. I actually found it harder to get kill in Halo 2 than CE.
