Subject: I'm not sure i want CEA after seeing the demo video

The graphics are great, it looks like it plays just like CE.


but... grunts...

i hated that in reach grunts all looked different, and in cea the ranks are just like halo reach ranks, i dont like that.

i want normal grunts all colored different, and the occasional curlback...

Wrong forum.

It's not camping, it's holding the designated location.

How is this the wrong forum, he is talking about CE in the CE forum, and yes it does play like the original, because that was the entire point in remaking it.

The grunts just like the chief in the first teaser video are probable just place holders. The first look at the AR was reach's AR then in the preorder video it had more of a Halo CE look

They are probably placeholders. What's more important is that the Zealots stay the same, because the Zealot in the trailer had white armor.

Normally, I would be thinking, it's a placeholder. But why white? And then the idea instantly came to my head:

Zealots replaced by Ultra Elites

Horrrifyyinnng!!!!! But that's not the worst part.

What if the Shipmaster also has white armor? Canon break! Major canon break!!!!

Of all the things that could pester you about this game, you just had to pick one of the most insipid, unimportant, and predominantly superfluous things. There is nothing even wrong with the Grunts in the canon, so there is little to no reason to changed the Grunts at THE VERY LAST MINUTE, especially if the only reason to support their alteration is one man's personal preference.

Besides, they were probably just placeholders.

Blargh.

By the power of truth, I, while living, have conquered the universe.

Placeholders! All of it, placeholders!

Dan states that the demo is the build they used at E3, the very unfinished but stable build. None of what you saw was set in stone for the final build of the game.

Theoretically, they're placeholder models.

No, literally they are placeholder models. The demo shown is from when CEA was in the pre-Alpha stage.

I'm 23, I have a house, dog, girlfriend, job and I have no interest in any fanboyism so if you're thinking about sending me a childish PM, don't be surprised when I don't call back.

Indeed, 343 have addressed all of this.

the demo that they showed was not the final build of the game. and they even said that in the demo!or atleast that 1 guy did that was talking. but its not the final build! they have videos on youtube of the final build, and ther are trailers from 343 that they made, and it now looks exactly like the original(besides the new graphics)

Reach grunts looked good.

i want curlbacks

  • 08.07.2011 2:36 AM PDT

if i stand correct wouldnt halo reach and HALO CEA have the same ranks online?

  • 08.08.2011 1:12 PM PDT

Levels of Intelligence(from highest to lowest)
Spartans>Elites>Grif>Brutes>Jackals>Grunts> Kat driving

1 graphics don't mean anything, solo is the same thing in a shiny (very shiny, by the way) new package.
2 don't like=don't buy=don't complain

I make a living of selling my body, and I don't mean sex.

I can't believe that's your reason for not buying this game...
