I think they put often in the demo just for the "wow" factor, I doubt that it will pop up as often as you say. But I guess I see your point, the game should be mostly about shooting and stuff rather than constant scripted moments. However, I trust 343 Industries won't overuse them, but we shall see.
It's just more clutter. It dosent need to be there. Just becuase it didnt show in non-gameplay sections here dosent mean it wont in others.
It doesn't, you're right, but chances are that they won't be. I don't want to sound rude, but use common sense for a bit.
They are destroying the mystery that has encased the Forerunners since day 1. They started with the books (the forerunner books), then the terminals in Halo 1, and now they are probably going to rape even more in this new trilogy. In the books they changed lore which will probably effect whats going on in this game. Overall theyve explained so much with the Forerunners that its literally become an extremely old topic and most people who are deeply involved with the story have heard it a million times.
The Forerunners have been a mystery for ten years now, it's about time we learn more about them. A mystery gets really old after a while, to the point where nobody really cares anymore. I mean, it was all nice and dandy at first, but people wanted to know more about the Forerunners, and now we finally got it. What kind of lore did they change in the books? That Forerunners =/= humans? Forerunners being humans was never something that was confirmed, only hinted at. And even then, only by a 100 000 year old rampant AI, not a very reliable source. I know a fair amount of people disagree with me on this one, but a lot of people are happy about the books and other Forerunner history, myself included.
It's a game. Half of the things in Halo are not logical and dont need to be. If its a different gun give its own unique design so the player can distincly remeber it by, for example one guy could be like that *insert cool name here* gun is awesome, instead of *forerunner shotgun*. Like you just said, functionality does not equal design. So theres no reason the Forerunner weaponry cannot be different and unique in its own style.
That's true, but that's not the route they opted to go for. In the end, we still have awesome-looking guns that also happen to look functionally possible. Keep in mind that we've only seen two weapons thus far, there are bound to be several more Forerunner weapons that may or may not look different. I still say that they look as different from human weapons are the Covenant ones do, but I don't think either of us are going to change our minds here.
Because I have a right called "freedom of speech" and its also a community forum where people come to say what they think. Sel does a perfectly good job over in the debate section doing that.
True enough. I'm sorry for lashing out in that last part, you are as entitled to your opinion as everybody else and have the right to discuss it. It was wrong of me to try to say otherwise.
If you dont like what I think then I really could give less a damn about it. Same goes with your opinion, no reason I need to care about yours either.
Oh of course not, and I don't intend to try to change your mind. I'm just giving counter-arguments to what you're saying and giving my own point of view, that's all.
