Caveat
Posted By: InnerRayg	Date: 9/15/08 4:40 p.m.
In Response To: Re: As I remember... (deadguy71) : So the Marine Armor is based on Halo 3 Spartan permutation armor design, and : the commander is Senator Palpatine. I Miss the Halo Marines armor where it : seemed like plates riveted onto tshirts and jeans.. I was hoping the art : direction was going to head back that way, rather than use what almost : looks like Quake 4 (or Doom3?) marines mixed with Halo 2 Marines. : I hate it when "prequels" take stuff from later events.. I wish : these hadn't "leaked", they'd look much better in a passing : cutscene than on display like this. There's still no way I'd miss the : Palpatine lookalike though, that's not "similar" that's him. : Brute armor is more advanced than it appeared in Halo 3. : However, I'm sure it won't stop me from enjoying the cutscenes, etc. I just : wonder what's going to happen to the storyline. : I wish Bungie had provided the characters... : Oh well. : Guess my hearts not totally set on this being particularly faithful to Halo. : If it holds it's own, I'll be pleased enough, just starting to wish it : wasn't using the Halo IP. When you say particularly faithful to Halo, you mean your own personal definition of it. Just remember that-it's not how you would have done it, but that does not also exclude it from being accurate or realistic to the series. If you can't tell, I'm a fan of the designs. We know ODST-esque armor is prevalent during this time, so it makes sense to me that the H1 marine armor is not exactly standard issue-it was a little light, and when you consider the implications of trying to protect people from harm it makes more sense to have something like this being worn-something closer to the very effective MJOLNIR which was out at this time. The Marines on the Pillar of Autumn were really not meant for hard ground-they were to sit tight while the Spartans captured a Covenant ship. This likewise explains why weapons normally seen commonly like the Battle Rifle would be sparse here-lots of close quarters and vehicular destruction negates the need for long range weaponry. As for the Brutes? Well, Frankly I'm to the point where I'd rather consider this and H3 armor canon and the H2 lack thereof completely out of tune with the series-or rather due to the Brutes being on their "home" ship and not outfitted for war. Contact Harvest shows them with armor, and as long as it has weaker shielding it still fits the canon. Even the lack of headress can make sense in the canon-this was a time when Brutes had zero respect, and thus no need for ornate headpieces that commanded respect like that of the Elites. Also the prodigious hair-in H3 apparently it became taboo to have long hair, as all Brutes are clean shaven, but before then, especially with Tarturus, we see lots of hair as a sign of elderly wisdom and the like. As for Emperor Palpatine and Cortana/Serina? Well, it's just how it is. Lots of people look similiar, and I like the more realistic look of the AI.
