No, I am towing the line here. I am not going to do a Lord Snakie and drag this puerile confrontation on any further. Glasslands has nothing to do with me disliking the core premise of Halo 4, and my reasons are my own. Suffice to say, choosing to focus solely on the Master Chief was a death sentence to the new trilogy.


Then explain why you won't getting Halo 4 or Glasslands. I would love to hear your reasons.

Also, I don't think that Master Chief is death sentence to new trilogy as long they don't include UNSC/Covenant and keep Forerunners and Precursor in, then it would be very interesting trilogy.

I'm starting to think glasslands chapter 1 has made him nerd-rage so much that he's turning into a troll.

The more I read your posts the more ironic this sentence becomes. I am not entirely sure what annoys me the most, 343 Industries' lack of originality or the slowness of this community. Probably both are contributing to my severly jaded attitude towards this franchise as of late.

You already know my reasons for disliking Glasslands. The very backbone of the plot is horrible - Giving the same old Elites and their pathetic views even more point of view, having ONI initiate a secret war with the Sangheili, having the Sangheili still, for some reason I don't know of, still treat Humans as completely inferior, still have anything more than a splinter group of fanatics still believe in the Forerunners. If this is the backbone, the novel's very foundations, then how bad are the particulars?

Moving on to Halo 4: The Master Chief failed as a character. I no longer care about him (I never did to be honest). They can tack on whatever they like in this trilogy to make it look not quite so bad, but it is just spurious attempts to patch up a sinking ship.

The unlikeliness of the UNSC, or anything that roots us to the familiarity of what we know Halo to be just now, appearing in the new trilogy will make the plot feel trivial. You can throw around the words "Threat to the entire universe" all you want but without a solid emotional impact it will be completely underwhelming. Who cares what happens to aliens that you have never seen before and have no prior resonance with, or to inanimate planets and stars? How is Master Chief supposed to know what he is fighting for if there is no reminders of that anywhere near him? And then there is all the unfinished tales from the old trilogy which I listed near to the end of Grey's thread. Reading about it in a novel is all very well and good, but not when you have been wondering what the scenario looks like after 4 years. We don't want to read it, we kinda want to see it.

Actually, I tell a lie. It is probably more to do with the morons in this community, or this forum, putting me off it all. The idea that the UNSC/Sangheili will not be appearing in Halo 4 is by no means a guarantee, yet it is thrown around by people here as if it is some scriptural law or some -blam!- like that. So, you don't want UNSC/whatever in Halo 4, then enjoy your slice of the mediocrity cake.

What? That is a complete non-sequitur. And the very reasons you state is the reason why it is going to feel so underwhelming. Why should I care whether John succeeds or fails if that is truly the case?

Welcome to bungie, you have no rights. play nice!
CLICK!

You haven't even read it Anton. You're a troll.
If these were the halo waypoint forums, I'd chase you out.
You pretend you know way more than us. You make it seem so. I just can't express the words to whatever you.
Just get out.

Only trolls accuse others of trolling.

But never mind the fact that you're a sycophantic idiot, but you're also a fool who doesn't understand that the Halo franchise has been slipping in quality and good part of that is evident in its fans who just eat their crap up.

No you would not. You would sit typing, in front of a PC, some words into a post thinking that it means anything to me at all. I doubt you are gifted in the arts of subliminal messaging so this makes you look quite pathetic really.

What the hell am I reading? "To whatever me"? What does "To whatever me" mean?

The sum total of your posts to this forum (And even on Waypoint) that I have been able to discern over the past few months amounts to nothing more than stating the obvious, and of course jumping down the throat of anyone who criticizes 343i in any way whatsoever.

And thank you for proving my point about the sheer dumbness in the quality of this userbase when the only thing, the only response, you have is "You're a troll". I probably do know more than you then, because you failed to say anything other than "You're a troll". I wish argumentation really was as easy as that:

"I'm sorry gentlemen, but the theory of Relativity disproves absolute time and motion"

"YOU'RE WRONG BECAUSE YOU'RE A TROLL!!!"

While I disagree with anton about Halo 4 (although not Glasslands), he is only stating his opinion about what we can discern from the Glasslands we have available, and the current status of the community. He's saying that if what Glasslands is what it seems to be, it'll be wholly unoriginal and of a particularly low quality.

Also, issuing threats of "running someone out of the forums" about video games is hilariously juvenile.
