In Response To: Something else I don't like about "Halo 2.0" (SonGoharotto) : For almost 30 years, humanity was fighting a losing war. Countless defeats, : countless setbacks, our colonies glassed, our population nearly : exterminated. Seems to me that both resources and public support ought to : be in short supply. : Where is the UNSC getting the means for this push back?

How would you foster good will amongst the various races? : Yes, the Covenant are fun to fight. We've been fighting them for the past
The nature of the Prometheans forces them to be dumb. Just what would a composed cave man say? Dumb enemies aren't as much fun and is a waste of the potential of the Halo combat dialogue system. : We could even have kept the Covie weapon set in the new trilogy as a sign of
