Look, someone fucked with the thread titles! Hey, don't look at me, I haven't had mod powers in years.

yep, it was freeprancer

not ready, how?

(I mean, 343i is doing all this other shit. it's not a Bungie Halo)

It's just that every weapon in Halo is meant to be balanced in regards to a certain niche it's meant to filled, and every weapon is meant to be useful in its own place and time. (Whether this was done correctly or not is a different matter). Every weapon is supposed to be balanced with the rest of the weapons, and everybody knows the role of each weapon. Adding weapon attachments could potentially unbalance something to the point where it's too powerful and becomes the one weapon people go to in all situations (Halo 3 BR anyone?).

I dunno, creating a nice balance in a Halo game with attachments would be almost impossible, and people definitely wouldn't be starting roughly equally anymore. The way they seem to be doing it with Halo 4 at the moment implies that as you level up, you get more options, not necessarily better ones, just different. Having unlockable attachments gives you better options as you rank up, giving an advantage to those that have played longer, which goes against the whole soul of Halo. Not to mention that the fanbase would rage about it.

But they're about as right as the last Reich.

two dalek avatars..

Daleks reign supreme.
All hail the Daleks!

[Hotrod]

Two Dalek avatars is too little, isn't it? We need to convert more people to Dalekism! Exterminate! Exterminate!

No! Boo new Elites, boo new Grunts, boo new Cortana!

Microsoft makes me go all :maddowns:

Multiplayer looks slightly promising though. From the images, there isn't any player customization, but we're several months off from that.

[Hotrod]

It says in the article that player customization is in, no need to get worried.

And what's wrong with the Elites, Grunts and Cortana looking different? Grunts have stayed pretty much the same, but Elites and Cortana have changed after every game. In plus, 343 Industries should put their own spin on things rather than just copy Bungie.

[Tnnaas]

It isn't so much Cortana being different which there is never two of the same but it just seems like the stark contrast jump from Halo: CE to Halo 2 for me. The Elites however are looking more like Jackals and their heads are shrinking. Also, the Grunts don't have that crab-like feel that they've had for the past ten years. They seem more reptilian than they should.
