Haters are going to hate.
Praisers are going to praise.
The Bungie Forums are what keeps my mind sharp and my fingers active, between writing my own movie scripts, drawing, and studying industrial design. At the moment I'm working on miniatures for a short movie that I'll hopefully be able to film once I've saved up for a camera... That's me, with the mug, trying to have a conversation with Konoko.
Just wanted to add my voice to the choir, saying that Halo 4 looked bland at best, great graphics, but still...
Halo has taken inspiration from various fictions in the past, but always managed to refine and make them its own. Whatever it was MS showed at E3 was not refined. It hurts me when I look at something that's supposed to be Halo, and all I see is Crysis (foremost 2) and some other sci-fi stereotypes.
And ontop of that we have the cinematography, script and direction, everything feels off. Are those aspects of the game that is in need of renewal? Are they really that stale and old?
Cortana screaming in the end for instance, who directed that mess? Poor Jen...
I know 343i has said that they're making Halo their own, in that case they should at least have the courtesy of calling it "343i's Halo 4", just like Peter Jackson did with King Kong.
Furthermore: as a friend pointed out, Chief Made a fantastic choice when directly rushing forth, just after having seen an elite being disintegrated within a second, by a single beam. Good move Chief, good move.
