Subject: 343 is making Halo too...nerdy

Like in the original trilogy, it was humans vs. aliens, with some mysterious zombie alien wildcard. It was exciting and mysterious, and some aliens joining the humans was a great twist.

However, there's way too much...nerdy stuff in the new Halo trilogy. Ancient aliens creating the humans, all this ancient human and forerunner war, forerunners themselves are just nerdy, etc.

Anyone else agree.

On December 1st, 2012, I met Neil deGrasse Tyson. I shook the man's hand, and even made him laugh. Not much else to do with my life now.

I embrace nerd-dom.

Oh, you think darkness is your ally. You merely adopted the dark. I was born in it, molded by it. I didn’t see the light until I was already a man. By then, it was nothing to me but BLINDING!

In the way of part of the new Germany was Poland so Hitler and Stalin took it over so Germany could grow.

What.

Uh...it's called Science Fiction.

The ancient aliens creating humans thing was introduced in the original trilogy, in a subtle way

But what they've done is take a carboard cut out story and add significant depth to it, which can only ever be a good thing. Broadning the scope and making the player think is important to a sci-fi. Basically you're saying Halo's new story is too smart.

I hate MLP. It is cancerous and pretty stupid to see men watching a show for girls. They can deny the truth but the truth shall prevail!

They're actually making it incredibly mainstream with the CoD-ification of it all.

Halo used to be something different among sci-fi titles. Now it's turned into just another run-of-the-mill clusterf**k of super-ancient, super-powerful civilizations and the inevitable and highly convenient selection of super-weapons they left behind. To be fair, it's not just 343, Halo's been going this way ever since the novels decided to take an axe to the mystique around the Forerunners/Precursors/Flood.

So your telling me creating a story that starts at the end of a war which spanned 27 years, finding an ancient alien artifact who's care taker thinks your his master was a brain dead story?

Yes. A more generic and forgettable plot summary can scarcely be imagined.

Funny that was firmly established about 4 missions into CE.

The Forerunners were hinted at (it's called "showing not telling", a great literary device) and there was one weapon series created, the Halo array. Now we've got the Forerunners, the first lot of humans, the Precursors, the Flood, all of which have been completely fleshed out into the most generic sci-fi races possible, their auras of mystique thus completely destroyed, and the Composer which exists because 343 needed a cheap way of making the Didact into a threat. 0/10 on creativity.
