In Response To: More Halo discussion from The Escapist (General Vagueness)


: The guy that does their movie reviews got a web show thing for his general
: rantings and the first episode is this
:
: http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/the-big-picture/2428-Combat-Evolved
: I could say something about it but I typed up a novella on it on their forum
: in the comments thread for it (page 6)

So...
The UNSC is a fascist unilateral organization waging war on the forces of multiculturalism?
Thank you, Bob. You've made me love Halo even more. And thank you, Bungie, for not giving me the faceless, goose-stepping mooks to slaughter that everyone else seems content with (CoD, MoH, CoH, I'm looking at you).
Not only does that make the enemy more interesting and worth learning about, but if I play another WWII game that has the Red Army heroically taking Berlin or conquering the Reichstag, and then conveniently cuts out before the Rape of Berlin, I'm going to scream.

Ugh, why does he have to use Spartan pictures from Halo Wars?

Next person I run into joking about how "Halo has no story" or "Nobody plays Halo for the context," I'm going to smack them. They ought to thank Bungie for giving them an excuse to indulge in their faux elitism and whine about stuff they only half-understand... Kind of like being an Ayn Rand fan, without the stigma of being an Ayn Rand fan.

And with him calling out Halo for being anti-multicultural is where I bug out. Like people accusing StarCraft of promoting racism, this is political correctness gone too far.

That was Bob.
And that was the narrow-minded picture.

Where's your Paper now? WHERE IS IT?
