Re: A question for you (and Levi if he's around)

In Response To: Re: A question for you (and Levi if he's around) (Leviathan)


: When it first came out, it felt too different from Bungie's style for me. As
: time went on, with more and more non-Bungie Halo stuff coming out, it's
: actually became one of the more Halo-spirited entries in the EU to me.

: One of my big complaints is towards the end of production, they decided to
: color-code the UNSC and Covenant. The earlier screenshots showed faithful
: color designs, but by shipping they had made UNSC all-green and Covenant
: all-pink. This takes me out of the universe when I play.

I remember this. I understand why they did it for MP, but I didn't like that it carried over into the campaign. Though I have to admit in MP, all black covie units look so bad ass, unsc too.

: I'm also not a huge fan of their Mark IV design. Instead of going backwards
: or taking cues from the Mark V (see Reach), they took cues from the Mark
: VI and actually made the Mark IV look MORE advanced than its future
: iterations. The helmet would be an exception, though.

I don't like the overall look of it, but I felt the opposite. To me it definitely felt earlier than the CE Mk V, like it was overly detailed and the Mk V was more smooth and refined. That's the main problem I have with the Halo 4 armor is that it's complicated and detailed for the sake of being complicated and detailed. Idk. For me, simple is sexy. Halo 3 armory all the way.

: Other than those two things, I pretty much like everything. The Spirit of
: Fire is a pretty ship, and the Gremlin, Grizzly, Hawk, Locust, Vulture,
: Wolverine, and other vehicle designs are all very cool and Halo-ey. I
: would have loved to have seen them in a FPS Halo game. How cool would it
: be to see a Vulture launching missiles off in the background while you're
: fighting in New Alexandria? I guess this could still happen in the future.

I wondered if you got any cues with your forerunner sketches from Halo Wars at all. If I had a capture card I'd go though and get some of the large structures from campaign and the MP maps but I feel like Ensemble nailed my expectation of other Forerunner stuff.

Totally feel the same way with the units in an FPS, even just a cameo. Part of me really hoped that on Tip of the Spear you'd see a bunch of locust's with the scarabs (like in the novel, though they weren't named at the time) or some of the other UNSC stuff in the charge.

I would LOVE to get a locust in fps MP :D

My 405th build
