I was about to agree with you and then I realized you were being sarcastic...

Well this is awkward.

That's because at least our little part in the community expects a good-quality standard, especially with all the stuff 343i has been spewing out of their mouths. The moment something falls under the minimum, we have the reserved right to voice our opinions until they fix it. The designers seem that they are more interested in stuffing the game with useless content (Kinect, Analyze) rather than listening to the opinions of millions of fans. The only reason we have anything that looks as though it improved is because the 343i boys looking over Saber Interactive’s shoulder said “Fix it.”

Nah, he still looks like crap to me, but it's hidden a bit due to the lack of closeups, the low resolution, and apparently how non-cinematic bipeds use the old mouth animations so the bass-mouth/Steven Tyler effect isn't as apparent.

Are we talking about Sarge's mustache again? Cool.

See, H1 Sarge has so much machismo that he shaves with a trench knife and the bile of his enemies. As one can imagine, this makes it difficult to accomplish the fine lip grooming that would be required to maintain the Hitler/John Waters hybrid that he appeared to have in older games. Due to this, the Halo 1 Sarge would have left that whole area alone and let it grow out naturally, because fuck it.

Halo 2/3 Sarge, however, probably has half of his personal effects dedicated to lady's BIC razors, so he would have no such difficulty.

I think it's safe to say that Halo Combat Evolved/Custom Edition are really what brought most of us together. The countless hours of tinkering with the engine, countless hours making the perfect forerunner texture for a floor, the countless hours that went in to making the worst map just to learn how things went together, and the hours that went in to creating a forerunner structure that would fit the Halo Universe like a glove. And I think on top of that, it gets annoying to watch a company start butchering a classic, just so that they can make an extra dollar and roll in the new crowd. I think it's also a matter of 343i not being Bungie. And as much as they want to stay true to the Halo Universe, they have their own team with their own art style.

I for one am looking forward to playing it, but it won't ever replace what Combat Evolved and Custom Edition were to me.

I think it's also fair to say that Bungie mailed it in when it came to human faces until they finally decided to update their production pipeline for Reach. So, it is kind of silly to be attached to things they did badly.

Is anyone going to walk up to Nathan Fillion or Tricia Helfer and ask them why they don't look all fucked up like they did in ODST? And they were trying their damnedest to make those characters look right. They iterated like crazy on them. The ODST team must have been so jealous of the Reach team and their fancy ZBrush-ed head sculpts.

ah ha! they brought back that grunt death sound effect that was in the standard assets for the original game, but had a permutation setting of 0 or something so it never played.

E: lol just read back a bit, and my above comment seems pretty ridiculous. but for you newer members, the fact that i know something like that off of the top of my head should tell you how dear this game is to me. i think i can say the same thing for most other members too. its not being "nerdy", its just working so closely with an engine and its assets that you pick up stuff like that and respect it.

If Modacity had a feature that allowed users to filter out content on the basis of "nerdiness", you'd get a blank page as a result.

The issue only comes in when people complain about complaining, thus the people who complained in the first place have to justify their complaints to the critic critics.

It's all intensely idiotic, paying customers have every right to complain about the products people are selling them. If nobody ever complains, nothing gets changed. If you want to suck the dicks of game publishers and buy up every half baked turd they throw your way, fine. The rest of us will continue to analyze and criticize our entertainment.

You know, like people do with absolutely anything else.
