Re: Something else I don't like about "Halo 2.0"

In Response To: Re: Something else I don't like about "Halo 2.0" (SonGoharotto)


: Hence, it should be a colony ship. Gather resources, rescue refugees, reclaim
: lost territory, keep the peace. There is so much good you could do with
: the Infinity. It's the "culmination of human achievement," after
: all.

Agreed. It would also be a great way to highlight how devastating the war was.

: Interesting possibilities that we'll never get to explore because 343i thinks
: we should still be shooting at them, damn all else.

"See, it's alright to shoot them. They look like animals, they grunt and mutter like animals, and they're fanatics!"

: I perceive that to be a failure of the writing. If the Prometheans are so
: dumb and boring, why is that what we ended up with?

"Drones made from the enslaved souls of Humans".

That there is the whole idea behind Promethean Knights. Can't say that I like it, but it must have sounded good during development.
What makes them dumb and boring is they are frustrating to fight and have no character. Sentinels are at least somewhat interesting, but even Bungie didn't make us fight several levels full of them.

: Oh, don't get me started. I'm already debating whether it would be worth a
: full write-up of what I would have done with Halo 4. I'm not convinced
: anybody around here would actually be interested in reading it. My efforts
: to contribute something meaningful to this community in the past have
: consistently fallen flat.

Do it.
