"Halo 4: I Get a Woman!" - Sgt. Mjr. A.J. Johnson, RIP

It uses Forerunner-Human hybrid technology. Your arguments are invalid. - 343i.

[Tnnaas]

343 you gave that ship 4 fucking MAC cannons and you decided to make a cutscene where it just rams a battlecruiser.

Drive me closer, I want to hit it with the Chief.

[Sanctus]

Well personally, if I were a creative director at 343 and I got a mandate from Microsoft to make a new Halo trilogy continuing directly after the end of H3, I would try and come up with an entirely new enemy and threat in a brand-new kind of setting. I would try my hardest to keep away from the Covenant and the Flood, and look toward other elements of the fiction to find new styles of environments to explore outside of the standard Covenant purples, Halo greens, and Forerunner greys that so widely populated the original games. I would try and pick out the most basic elements that make Halo's combat unique - a carefully crafted set of conventional and exotic weaponry, each with a specifically designed function; the seamless integration of vehicular elements; a variety of enemy types, some intelligent, some not, each requiring different strategies to effectively combat; etc. - and find a way to take those elements and rework them into something new and original.

But that's just me.

E: oh and I'd also release it on PC the same day as the 360 version with a full-fledged editing kit and no GFWL, but again, that's just me

Fucking called it didn't you? +rep

[Warsaw]

Except, Halo 4 doesn't have a carefully crafted set of conventional and exotic weaponry, each with a specifically designated function. 343i also didn't stay away from the Covenant, and they are still using the same traditional Halo settings. All they did was add in a new enemy type while keeping most of the old ones...kind of like every Halo game before, no?

By far the most interesting environment I've seen is that volcanic area in the Spartan Ops trailer.

[Sanctus]

Ok so he didn't exactly called it, but it was in the ballpark. I just pre-ordered a few minutes ago so now all there is to do is wait.

[Tnnaas]

Oh god. Renaming the thread had me in tears.

While we're on technicalities, a battle cruise that close to a slipspace gateway should have been shredded to all hell by the gravitation eddies being spewed out by that thing anyway.

I was thinking the same thing, but why is it then that ODST drop pods didn't get completely fucked when Regret's ship went into slipspace above New Mombasa? New Mombasa definitely got fucked up, but as we can see, it wasn't incinerated to oblivion as we saw in ODST despite its proximity to the Covenant ship. Then again, as Jcap pointed out, the Halo games don't follow their own lore. A perfect example of this is the ODST version of New Mombasa looks significantly different than the Halo 2 version. Pieces of the Halo 2 version that were untouched by the slipspace rupture were completely gone in the ODST version which makes it seem as though the Scarab boarding encounter never occurred.

Because the ship has.....Infinity health.

Slipspace fields may only cause gravatational shenanagins within the volume of space they occupy. Outside of that volume, incliment weather may occur. Gravity fuck-ups may not.

I'm thinking that it would be something similar to time travel in the Terminator movies.

Oh god that gave me a laugh.

FOR A BRICK, HE FLEW PRETTY GOOD.
