| Re: Wait. Did they just un-retcon TFoR? | |

In Response To: Re: Wait. Did they just un-retcon TFoR? (General Battuta) : I'm not sure I place the same premium on continuity as you folks, but it does : strike me as odd that Reach's lead writer didn't seem very familiar with : the Halo universe or its texture. Halsey was done quite well, though, and : came away with some of the game's better dialogue. I think Bungie wanted Reach to have its own texture - 'down in the mud with the troops' is written all over it - and I don't mean necessarily in just the writing. Watch the cinematography, for example, on the opening of Nightfall. After Six steps over a rock in his way, the camera tracking behind him ALSO steps over the rock. It's a documentary-style device, which seemed to be the style Reach wanted to apply everywhere. And no other Halo, save for ODST's Vergil-perspective shots, has ever done this approach. So it felt unusual to us fans. To me, the writers were definitely familiar with the universe they've/they're creating and are immersed in 100% of their day, but wanted to view that universe from a different perspective, which makes it SEEM like a completely different kind of world to some players. It did to me, as well, upon initial playthroughs, but my opinion has evolved since then. :)
