I don't really get the hate for H4's story. I like they're tying it into the larger fiction. Even though it does contradict some stuff, it's not like Bungie was any better. I prefer the new cannon they are establishing rather than Bungie's, "Make shit up as we go along and retcon everything after every game."
You realize, that in making "new cannon", they have to retcon shit themselves, right? And SPOPs is being made up as they go along...Quote:

Also, in FoR grunts are described as sounding like dogs and being untranslatable. While in FoR it may have been acceptable to have blarg-blarg-blarg speaking aliens, H4 takes place after all the other games where the UNSC had translation software and they still don't sound like fucking dogs. In fact, they sound like fucking shit. Staten wasn't the only guy who did voices for the grunts, it's not like they couldn't keep that ball rolling.
Ah yes, but clearly, just like all the assault rifles and magnums between Halo: CE and Halo 2, the UNSC's shit seems to randomly disappear. Same as Cortana's face, the Chief's armor, and Johnson's 'stache (EDIT: Everything post Halo 2). I suppose this means that all translation software just got up and left too.
:v:
343i is trying to retcon this with their ultra shitty garbage collection configurationQuote:

Finally, Bungie did say that Halo was never intended to be a series. It was a one-off that was so popular that Microsoft demanded a sequel.
So I tried out the grifball playlist
and for a few seconds I was wondering why the fuck it sounded so quiet, and then I realized it was because they made the brute hammer sound like a littly blippy thing
then I scored
AND NOBODY EXPLODED :(
343i why
halo 4 grifball feels...neutered
One of the gameplay animators posted a reel of some of the stuff he did. I asked him how much was mo-capped compared to hand keyframed and he said that all of it was hand animated. He's still on board for Halo 5 and 6 as well. It's truly awesome, I can't wait to see what he does in Halo 5 on a new console where his animations can really shine with a higher FPS and graphical fidelity.

I now have a favorite digital artist.
I wish this game had save films, because I just did the broadsword run on legendary without dying while boosting nearly the entire way though. I let off the throttle maybe 4 or 5 times for less than a second each. How I wish I had a capture card....
In b4 someone starts hatin' again.Quote:

At the same time, THIS GONE GET GOOD.
