In Response To: Re: CEA PoA Gameplay (Stay away if you're going da (Stephen L. (SoundEffect))


: Having seen the video, I'm still reserving judgment over the Autumn. There
: are a few things I don't want to see changed, but I'm thinking it will. As
: said above, I don't think it's an update that necessarily long-term fans
: will enjoy, but rather fans who weren't fanatically observant maybe (I
: fall into a select group they really can't accommodate I'm guessing). I
: see a lot of changes. I'll be far more forgiving in areas like the Halo
: ring...the physical environment like the hills, rocks and trees I can see
: more of an upgrade happening.

: Even something as simple as the beam towers though...the updated look looks
: awesome, but something meaningful has been lost from 'this looks to be a
: single simple structure' to 'now it has a bunch of moving parts so it
: makes sense how it works now'. I hope some of the original design hasn't
: been lost in intent, not just in look.

: Still looking forward to Anniversary more than ever. I'm just staying wary of
: the changes. :)

The biggest change between Halo CE and Halo 2 for me was the shiny surfaces. In CE the Chief has this really cool reflections-without-actually-reflecting-geometry thing going on that I really dug, and so did the simple surfaces of the Forerunner metals. That went away in the later games. I kind of agree that part of the reason I liked the design was that it was so clean and simple; I would have rather they just added greater subtle surface detail (more geometric designs inscribed in other ones, etc.) rather than adding "more", especially for exteriors.
