They just keep making the Spartans more and more like super heroes, they ruined Halo. I dunno, I was always very underwhelmed with Master Chiefs powered armor in the Halo Universe. He seems like he's barely stronger than a pro body builder. In the future, I'd hope their powered armor could give a guy the ability to lift shit 30-40 times his weight. 
It's like that John Carter crap where one minute the guy can lift 10 tons like a toy, the next he's getting his ass kicked by people whose bodies are made for low gravity on Mars.

Quote HistoryQuoted:
The opening cinematic shows four badasses destroying a wall of enemies in less than 2 minutes... When the game starts, the lowest class enemy can kill you with three shots To be fair, watch the Halo 3 trailer. It shows the Chief absolutely slaughtering scores of Brutes, Jackals, and Grunts, when in the game you tend to stay the fuck away from Brutes.

Nathan Fillion is a human-shaped pile of barely-tapped potential. It's criminal that he's not getting bigger roles, especially in sci-fi or adventure films

Ya know, when you fall or jump like that you move in a predictable ballistic arc....easy to target. Not that a huge radar reflector like a spartan is hard to track anyway.

When the game starts, the lowest class enemy can kill you with three shots you guys must be playing on legendary or something. In almost every version of the game in normal mode you can literally run through masses of enemies. I made a game of it back in Halo CE considering how the level design supported it. If you compare high level players going at it on normal mode the game doesn't feel much less ridiculous than that cinematic. Now, I don't have an XBOX One and won't be getting Halo 5 I can resist the current gen of consoles. So maybe this version is different. |

Fuck Locke and his merry band of wannabe's.
John, Linda, Kelly and Fred are the OG crew. The Spartan II subjects were the very best, raised to enhance their natural abilities and later made even better through augmentation and technology. They are true warriors. The Spartan IV and V series were just jocks with high PT scores that were given budget enhancements and armor. They were never intended to be as valuable as the II series. They were purely made for quantity instead of quality. Add in the fact that Chief is now some genetically altered Proto-human and the IV and V series are a joke. Buck is the only tolerable Spartan V that I've seen. Also, Kilo-5 is still out there, and I want to know what they're doing. Er, I mean, Halo is gay. |

He still believes the UNSC to be allies, completely oblivious to the fact that Kilo-5 and ONI have been supplying weapons to the insurgency on his homeworld. The cutscenes also imply that he only knew they were tracking a Spartan, not specifically 117 until Locke told him face to hinge head. I figure he'll try to dissuade Locke from hunting Chief, giving him a false lead or outright giving aid to Chief. |

There is a theory out that the conflict we see in Halo between the UEG and the Covenant is actually an analogy of the Punic Wars between Rome and Carthage (264-146 B.C) Carthago delenda est, anyone?

Yes, though it's only a slightly new addition to the std game play mechanic. Call it how you like, but "Titanfall" upped the ante as far as FPS mechanics goes, & this seems to be a "me to" response to that. I'm just not wowed by what I'm seeing so far. If we could jump jet large distances around the MP map (& how about some MP space combat, like the small taste we got in "Reach", while we're at it?), that would be revolutionary. But this looks to me like a hybrid booster + jet pack, with a rather short distance boost. It's just not that much to me. This IP needs to shake itself up, IMO. Even the jump pack mechanic in "Battlefront" (you boost farther/higher) looks better than this (IMO). Just sayin'.

Meh... Still looks nothing like the Halo I fell in love with (1,2, sort of 3). I'm not a fan of all the gadgets and special moves, etc... Seems like game makers these days try to put all these flashy things in from other games to pull in more players, but in doing so they change around the way the game plays ruining it for the hardcore fans.
Don't have an Xbox One, and the way they've ruined Gears of War, Halo, and other games I like I doubt I ever will get one. |

A similar event happened in Star Wars with the Yuuzhan Vong. They invaded the Galaxy and had humans and other species side with them and form the "Peace Brigade". It was lead by Thrackan Sal-Solo; Han Solo's first cousin. In the end, the usual fate that happens to all collaborators happened. They got killed. With the Indies in Halo, they were Human Colonies wanting independence from the UEG. The war with the Covenant drove those issues to the wayside and humanity united against a common threat. Extinction through eradication. But once that ended... the UEG cracked down on them again. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: The story of Halo has gotten retarded and gay, that's what I mean. I know most people don't care and it's all about multiplayer these days, story telling has really gone downhill in recent years for gaming all across the board. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Quoted: They just keep making the Spartans more and more like super heroes, they ruined Halo. Not really sure what you mean, but they were already Gary Stu characters when it was just Master Chief as one of the sole Spartan II's that survived. Sgt. Johnson was the last Spartan 1. The Spartan III program was disposable soldiers, and the IV program is where they figured they could modify adults without killing them. So 1/2 the cost of a Spartan II with 3/4 of the performance, but with the knowledgebase of a trained and experienced soldier already. Quoted: Spartan Buck. Fuck yes. Damn it, I'll have to get a current-gen console now  They are doing big deals on Xbox one consoles right now. Heck, Gamestop was doing $150 credit for turning in a 360 towards a One. They are also dropping the 'Elite' version of the system in a couple of weeks. 1tb hybrid drive instead of the 500gb sata, and the new Pro controller that is freaking awesome (and $150 on it's own) We already have a big Destiny clan, and I anticipate a lot of us rocking Halo in the little free time Fallout 4 will allow. All hail Fallout 4. The story of Halo has gotten retarded and gay, that's what I mean.

For example, the UNSC wins the war, but loses over half of it's territory and population. The Sangheli aren't wiped out, but their economy immediately collapses, and Sanghelios is plunged into a devastating civil war. The UNSC starts out a as a federal republic, but is now well on it's way to becoming a fascist autocracy. John wins all his battles, but continuously loses friends and loved ones along the way. |

Either that, or he's going to be starting his one man war against ONI, the KGB of Halo. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Well, the UNSC and UEG is pretty much the Alliance from Firefly. Sucks that Mal would fight for the UNSC instead of an Indie faction. I think in this game we are going to see John potentially switch sides from the UEG/UNSC to the one of the Indie factions.

Quote HistoryQuoted:
John would never fight against the UEG/UNSC. He was brainwashed as a kid to strictly follow orders and die for the UEG/UNSC. I could see him fight what he deems to be rouge elements of the UEG/UNSC and especially ONI. But he might do that simply because if Blue Team and Dr. Halsey have been arrested by ONI (which they were last i checked, been a while since i read the books) for reasons that ONI got confused since they don't know the whole picture like Dr. Halsey and John do with regards to the Forerunners. I don't see John siding with the Indies. Not one bit. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Blue Team is with John when last I read the Escalation comics. My beef with ONI is that they knew of the Covenant way before they took out Harvest, and yet did nothing to warn the UNSC/UEG. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Your thinking of something like Game of Thrones. Halo has more of a bittersweet, epic tale feel to it. For example, the UNSC wins the war, but loses over half of it's territory and population. The Sangheli aren't wiped out, but their economy immediately collapses, and Sanghelios is plunged into a devastating civil war. The UNSC starts out a as a federal republic, but is now well on it's way to becoming a fascist autocracy. John wins all his battles, but continuously loses friends and loved ones along the way.

The UNSC didn't lose half of it's population, I think Humanity was down to a few million by the end of the War. Also the majority of the colonies were lost and major segments of Earth herself were destroyed by being Glassed from Orbit. |

Only the Souther part of Africa got the glassing treatment, and that was due to the Flood overrunning Keyna. I think the 'few million number you are seeing is due to the vast majority of Earth's population being evacuated to Venus. Human-Covenant War |

That's because in Star Wars, the Rebels are a bunch of Religious Nut Jobs that want to bring back a form of government in which a cult is given secret police powers. The Empire was pro business, pro gun ownership, and pretty much was getting ready for the Vong invasion.
Also the snazzy uniforms helped. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Also the snazzy uniforms helped. I mostly had problems with the Republic's socialist policies. Also, hippie peaceniks like Vader's wife didn't do a damn thing to help at all. Also what irks me is that the Republic had no concept of national defense until the very end of it's life. For the Force's sake, it's supposed to be based on the highly militarized Roman Republic! And they end up outsourcing the job to a cult of emotionally-stiffened weirdos in robes who kidnap children? |

The Jedi Order was and is a religious theocratic quasi armed force. They stole property, siphoned government funds (tax payer money), randomly killed citizens, started wars, interjected themselves into private business disputed and acted as official government agents when they weren't appointed or elected into power. Empire -Uses a volunteer army -Hires well vetted Private Military Contractors -Takes a hard stand against radical fundamentalist terrorism and piracy -Conducts peacekeeping operations throughout the universe that respect sovereignty but don't tolerate tribal warfare Rebellion(and Jedi Council) -Uses child soldiers -Hard line religious fundamentalists -Buys Soviet made military equipment and hides out in third world worlds -Makes deals with criminals -Tries to reinstall a space caliphate with their monarch in exile. |
