Stuff *sp*
Posted By: Metalingus627 <mtracy627@yahoo.com>Date: 1/11/10 4:21 p.m.

In Response To: GI discussion (spoilers) (rolandk73)


With (relatively) small Spartan-IIIs, one Spartan-II, and Elites, I wonder if Multiplayer will include all three, only Spartans, or just Spartan-IIIs (the main characters). There could definitely be advantages and disadvantages to all three to make the use of them varied. IIIs could be faster and more nimble but aren't as resistant to damage, IIs handle pretty much like they have handled in the other games, and Elites are larger, more resistant to damage, but somewhat slower. I really hope we get to play as Elites in multiplayer again, but I wouldn't be too upset if we don't.

Most of Noble team is from Alpha Company, which makes them around 30+ years old, while Kat (as well as the Lone Wolf) are from Beta Company, putting them around 20+ years old. Barely old enough to drink and she's already been effed the hell up in battle. Ghost (I refuse to ever call him anything else) may be the scariest looking, but something tells me Kat is the toughest one of the lot.

Bottom left of pg. 59 appears to be a Brute, unless they changed the color of the Spartans' shields or that is a armor perk activating (overshields?).

Stuff seems to be a lot more "solid" in this game. I can't really describe what I mean in detail, but in Halo 3 characters and enemies seemed like action figure versions of their former selves. I don't get that feeling in these screens though.

Skirmishers look pretty cool, and a unique way to add new enemies into the game (introducing subspecies/variations of established enemies). Since we will likely be lacking the Flood and Sentinels in this game it will be a necessary way to break up the routine and pit us against different challenges. That being said, I hope and pray that we see those Hunters from the Duel in this game as a boss fight. :)
