In Response To: Re: Yet more Halo 4 thoughts *SP* *long* *IMG* (Arithmomaniac) : I'm not good enough to play above Normal. Really. (When I play a Halo game on : Heroic, it takes me 3-4 tries to clear out every room after the first : couple of levels in the game.) Heh, I have plenty of friends that are the same way. I used to only play on Normal, but I think H3 was the last game where I frequently played on Normal. Now I just default to Heroic. : I'm a boarder on a budget. I'm lucky my hosts have a TV at all. That sucks. At least you got something, though =) : I've read all of the novels, save for TTW (which I'm rougly caught up on via : Halopedia and lurking here.) : My problem is not the expectation of reading previous fiction, but how Halo : 4's plot didn't leverage it to set up a trilogy. Halo 1 had a clean : ending, but you could see an invasion of Earth and a struggle over the : Halos over the horizon (though hindsight is 20-20, so maybe not.) With the : Didact (at least mostly) dead and the Composer destroyed, we have nothing : on which to hang a sketch of the upcoming conflict, and the big : possibility from the novels (Precursors) isn't alluded to in the campaign. : I don't think we needed a cliff-hanger, but we shouldn't need to rely on : SpOps to fill in the basic trajectory of the Reclaimer Saga. That's a good point. With the direction SpOps is going, I think we'll have a better idea by the end of this season. : Another plus to her being gone: if Cortana had any more "graphical : fidelity", the game would be AO... : Agreed. I think their heart is in the right place, and the SpOps cutscenes : (As I have no internet, I can't actually play the episodes) keep looking : better. That's a shame. At least you can keep caught up through the cutscenes, though. : To be clear, as a non-MP person, loadouts don't bother me at all. Nor do I : have any opinion on CoD - the last non-Halo game I beat was KOTOR II. It : just seemed too good to pass up. Nice. I haven't played KoTOR II in ages. It just recently came to Steam so I may need to give it another play soon!
