I'll grant the other two, though cost is something that needs to be broken down and analyzed; it's not as simple as it seems.
Anybody else getting major cheese vibes from Forward Unto Dawn?
True, but having to engineer around every console not having a hard drive has led to things like Blam!'s near super-fast/instant level loading. It's just that not everyone puts in the effort to make an engine with long term goals in mind. It's why something like Unreal has gotten so profitable despite having glaring problems.
As for Forward Unto Dawn, it'll all depend on how good the director is. The student-soldiers are going to be hilariously bad (that's a casting AND writing problem). Visually it will probably be good as long as the director figured out how to frame armored faceless people.

I'm actually more worried about the sets, lighting, and generally poor cinematography. Until very recently, European television has had some shoddy production values versus the stuff that came out of Canada and the USA. Not that FUD is European, but the kind of crappy lighting and plastic sets used in shows like Doctor Who is what I'm afraid of (as much as I love Doctor Who).
Starship Troopers, which is deliberately a cheese-fest, looks like it has better qualities based on what we've seen of FUD.

^This. When I first heard about it and saw that they were using the shitty armour from Halo Legends : The Package, I instantly knew that I would be disappointed with this.
Re: Halo 4, now on your xmom 360
I can't get past the fact that they're wearing fucking SPANDEX under the armor plates... WHERE in ANY of the previous games do you see that shit? Yet in almost every video they preach about getting it to feel just like Halo, about getting all of the pieces right.
E: Also Chief's neck is too long. I could look past everything else about him if he didn't look like an Ostrich craning over a bush.

It looks more like the Crysis nanosuit under there than spandex, which is awesome. Just saying.
Re: Halo 4, now on your xmom 360
Sorry, let me clarify. I meant the regular UNSC soldiers in FuD, not Chief.
Re: Halo 4, now on your xmom 360
Oh, I haven't looked into that yet, so yeah...

Then you've got a problem with real life. The cyborg model starting all the way back with Halo 1 was horribly distorted from normal human proportions. This, and most of what you see with the Startan IVs from 343i are what it'd take to be able to move around in armor normally.
