In Response To: Re: My H4 review - Campaign (Gameplay and Story) (RC Master) : Ok, can we have a toggle option then? : I seriously want you to answer that question. As someone else pointed out, it's unlikely that this is in the game for aesthetic reasons alone. 343 has used this animation to cover loading mechanics - to change the layout of the game around us without having to show us baddies popping into place. Could they have come up with another technique that was less disruptive to the gameplay flow but still gave them a chance to throw new situations at us? Certainly. Would it have been more work to do so? ALMOST DEFINITELY. Everything's a tradeoff. This is one they made. I haven't talked to anyone involved about it, but I'd bet real money on the fact that its potential to be annoying was discussed, and ACCEPTED, in light of what it offered the developers in other areas. You can certainly dislike that choice - but I'm guessing your unhappiness was already factored in.
