In Response To: Of Facts and Figurines (Hawki) : Apologies if these two sets of info are old news, but at the least, the : Covenant faction reveal definately seems to be new. Either way, it's not : something I often do, but when you combine the need to vent your spleen : and procrastinate...well, here's the result. : So...looking at the figurines for starters. Not much to say, as I've never : been a collector of figurines of any series. But...ugh. You know, seeing : the Jackal's in-game render was bad enough, but somehow its figurine has : gone even further from the core aesthetic. You know, I could at least see : the in-game image shown ages ago as being on the same evolutionary tree, : but this thing? What, did kig-yar evolution go from bird to reptile? Also : the sangheili seems a bit too reminiscent of the pfhor for my liking. I : mean, I admittedly like the aesthetic itself, but there were enough : similarities between 'Halo' and 'Marathon' before-I don't need 343 to hit : me over the head with it. : Looking at the reveal article...so, the Covie faction is "the : Storm." Not "Storm of Faith" or "Storm of the : Prophets" or "Storm of (insert term here) but...the Storm. As : in, the name of a 'Halo 3' level if I remember correctly. What, were the : Servants of Abiding Truth too mouthy a faction for an in-game appearence? *Facedesk* Well, yes, of course there's going to be factions like that hanging around, though if they're still following the Prophets, I'd expect the Brutes to outnumber the Elites. But honestly, we've fought these guys before. Bringing the Covenant back as they were for 3/5 Halo games verges on creative bankruptcy.
