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

In Response To: Re: Wait. Did they just un-retcon TFoR? (Leviathan) : 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. This is all great, I love this stuff and have no issue with it. It was one of my favorite parts of Reach. : To me, the writers were definitely familiar with the universe they've/they're
I can't agree with this, though. There's all sorts of generic SF lingo tossed in (impulse drives, for instance) as well as poorly understood military jargon. It's like Halo fanfic. Contrast the game's storywriting with the beautiful radio transmissions we've transcribed - that material captures the texture of the universe.
