In Response To: My campiagn gripes *SP* (NartFOpc)


: This is just some stuff I wrote down after my initial playthrough last night.
: Let me know if you agree/disagree with anything. I still enjoyed the
: campaign immensely other than the Mammoth level, and I'll be finishing up
: my legendary run tomorrow. Also I have had a blast with multiplayer so
: far, big props to 343 on that.

: h4gripes.txt

: Fighting prometheans is boring.
Boring on normal/heroic, pain in the ass on legendary. I have found myself saying "clever girl" several times. See how they do on legendary for ya.

: Everything about the Mammoth mission sucks,
I wanted to like this one more but it didn't really grab me. It reminded me of a reverse of the scarab take down in Halo 2, like if you switched sides. Would have liked that more actually, repelling covie boarders.

: Many spots in the game where I felt under-equipped/ran out of ammo. Maybe
Didn't happen to me. Ammo and guns everywhere, though the forerunner caches are hard to spot sometimes.

: BR sounds bad. Shots and reload.
Never liked the BR. Whenever I found a dmr, I'd switch everytime.

: Cortana's face looks wierd.
Meh.

: What the fuck is wrong with the plasma pistol sounds?
Yeah and the ghost too. That one bugs me so much. I want them to sound like CE, I want that creepy whine, not the sounds of a space vibrator

: Lip-syncing.
didn't see any issues. Not like CEA

: Weapon names. Still don't know what the new grenades are called.
you dumb

: Captain Del Rio or whatever is a fucking dumbass.
thought he was kinda cliched myself. And when I saw Lasky I laughed my ass off because he didn't look anything like what I thought because of forward unto dawn haha. Leave it to beav man.

: Knight charge attack is dumb
It's raped me a couple of times.

: Nothing else with Halsey besides the opening?
meh

: Needs more warthog/mongoose.
NO THANK YOU. Unless they put a v6 (at least!) in that hog I'll stay out of it. Turret sounds good though imo

: AI fragments --> Spooky hardlight ghosts?
: Very little of the soundtrack really grabbed me.
ditto. The end was pretty good. The rest of the game I couldn't hear it.

: No quotes jumped out at me as memorable.
: Covenant voices are dumb.
disagree
: Elite colors not vibrant enough.
disagree, not sure why they went with the Reach variants though.

: Whole campaign actually takes place over like 6-7 hours (I mean actually
: in-universe)?
This is too subjective. It felt "right" to me. Not too long, not short.

: Chief strolling down the light bridge while humans are getting cooked below.
: Promethean grenades are useless pieces of trash.
YES. FUCKING HATE THEM. Maybe I'm using them wrong, but I can't kill anything with them. Plasma grenades also do not have a huge blast radius anymore, AND they have a slight bounce to them when they land, I don't like that, they never used to do that. Are they like that in MP too?

: Hunter melee attack is comically fast. Looks silly.
didn't notice I think I only fought em twice?
: The Didact sucks.

I've got a few of my own but I'm waiting until done with legendary. Overall, there is a good balance of things that I didn't like and things that I did. Right now, I give it a "B" (campaign)
