Re: Official box art 'apparently'!
Posted By: Vandle Valsher <vandlevalsher@yahoo.com>Date: 6/6/11 6:21 p.m.

In Response To: Re: Official box art 'apparently'! (Frankie)


: The look of the new Chief will be explained in-story and in good time. The
: "key art" images are not box art. They're simply images
: evocative of the new game. We do this every time.

That's all I needed to hear. :)

Having had time to think it over, I think there are things I like about the new armor and things I don't like.

I don't like the look.

I do like the fact that it looks more practical. It looks like the Chief has a lot more flexibility and range of motion.

But that range of motion comes at the price of attractiveness (much like how the Scorpion is pretty, but doesn't look very practical. Real-life tanks are ugly, but are much more practical). I can respect that sort of change and it feels natural and realistic within the confines of the universe.

I hope you can see what I am coming from.

Regardless of everything I just said; just knowing that this change was made solemnly and with respect to canon and reason and that it will not simply be ignored with everyone pretending that nothing happened puts me at ease.
