Aww, thanks! Hats off to Hopper! (8? :P)
After seeing the M1A1 textures, there's a lot more variations of the same texture than I thought there'd be. Might explain how we don't see a Grendel every other texture, since they're not defined, as you said.
I found it amusing that the… Whatever-it-is Monster made it into the Hunter collection. Perhaps the placement of the Hunter collection as we know it is a nod to its spiritual predecessor? Also, Hunters stood in for these guys in M1A1. They use the same/similar sounds, after all. Is that foot actually a projectile?
Funny how the HUD in the beta leaves more space than in the full version/demo.
And that is one wide landscape.
Really, this is great. I love having access to stuff like this. Unfortunately, Bungie was rather tight-fisted as far as hidden content goes (a la M2 Preview). :\
Thanks for posting this up!
