I made plenty of suggestions, like making Dawn play out differently on Heroic and Legendary. Dawn gives you the same QTEs (Elite ambush, open door) and forces you to stay in that cryo tube. CE PoA has no Elite waiting in the dark room and you don't need to punch a door open to progress. And it goes right to cutscene after the opening cutscene.
Agreed.
Forcing the door open should have been like the first time you played CE, where you had to break the door open with a standard melee, no need for an animation.
Dodging scene was okay I guess, though I wish there would have been an option for it to be a cutscene.
Elite melee QTE should have been an actual Elite roaming around the area (speaking of which, what the -blam!- ever happened to roaming? So much more believable in CE).
etc.yeah what's up with Chief doing all this pulling and shoving when he could just punch? Like in the Proto-Gravemind cutscene.
It'd have been more convincing if Chief didn't look in the direction you were supposed to go.
Agreed. Then we could use it's sword or save it for later. Stalking's still in Halo 4 but it never happens by default. I enjoyed CE's encounters because I had plenty of opportunities to get the jump on the enemy. Now it seems like they're always expecting you or a bunch of marines are alerting them. So many fights in Reach would play out much better if Noble Team weren't around.
What I find most frustrating about the Covenant in Halo 4 is that under the Fuel Rod spamming, there's actually some decent AI. For example, on Easy mode I've seen the AI actually look at the grenade's arch like they would in CE (and only CE), but on all other difficulties the AI just immediately snaps its head towards you and fires its weapon.Yeah on Easy, they show a lot of promise. Halo 4 is probably the only Halo game where I can die on Easy from standard enemy resistance (whereas in the other games, I had to collect a whole bunch of them or limit myself).
But on Normal and higher, it's standard bs (high damage, health increase, super awareness, grenade spam, power weapon spam). There's very little opportunity to discern and admire the actual intelligence because they feel so cheap.
