In Response To: Re: My Thursday morning BBQ (just add flames) *lon (Cabanaguy25)
Jesus this is the longest thing ever, I gave up reading 1/4th of the way in.
But, I must agree with everything I've read so far. The story had nothing to do with the books, and quite frankly, nothing to do with anything. Sure, some could say "Well I haven't read the books! I would have been lost!" But weren't we all lost at the begining of Halo 1? And the remaining SPARTANS, where are they? Again someone could say "Well it doesn't fit with the 'Lone SPARTAN' feeling", but why would it have been written (by close watch from M$ I presume), if they didn't want to follow it onto the next game? I don't remember ads even saying "You're Earth's only hope, the last of your kind", although I do remember reading it on the back of Halo 1, ironically.
And with the New Mombassa fiasco. I read everywhere that "it was just a preview of the game's content" and they never promised anything. But to show someone actually play through the level, actually shooting the enemys, makes anyone and everyone assume that's where they'll start when they pop the disk into their Xbox, even if it wasn't intended. Same with the ATV. They shouldn't have put final copy renders of the vehicle, and shown sketches of it being used, if they hadn't planned on using it (one of the biggest disappointments IMO, it seemed to work fine on the LE disk).
Someone also mentioned in this thread, that the emotion they felt when Cortana left the MC was more of a-fine, bitch, than a; man, I miss that kooky construct-feeling you got from Halo 1. Although it doesn't seem like much, it does ruin the thought of the MC and Cortana being a team.
As for playing for an Elite; I looked forward to it being a multiplayer feature, and a multiplayer feature alone. Playing as him, and ending the game as him, made it feel the game has lost the idea of "Save man kind" to a "Save man kind, and join up with everything that initally hated you uncontrollably, and now likes you because a green plant told them to."
XBOX LIVE was a big flaw, as someone mentioned. The game has obviously turned to a LIVE based game, leaving the Campaign in the dust. Those of us without XBOX LIVE are... in essence... screwed. Sure, its fun (I've played it at a friends) but its not SO great that they should have trashed the story.
Finally, people have mentioned the difficulty of Legendary, and how the marines took more damage than the MC could. Well, what did you expect? Just about everyone who has Halo 1 has beaten it on Legendary, and that isn't what the mode is intended for. It's for the hardest of core gamers to attempt. Of course the snipers are annoying, doing a one-hit kill on ya, and the flyin buggers are a bitch, but you must realize, this isn't intended on being a two-day playthrough. It's hard, and could have been harder.
There's probably more things I'd say, but the chance of this getting read is slim to none, so I'll end it now.
