In Response To: Questions: a (sort of) review of Halo 4 (General Vagueness)


: - Why were the returning weapons changed in the ways they were?
: - related question: Why was the plasma rifle not good enough to come back?

Because Bungie designed them. Uck, yuck. Own Stamp. Artistic License. WIN!

: - What's the point of the Storm rifle?

To widen the skill gap of telling the weapons apart. Only pros can tell between the SR... I mean Storm Rifle and Carbine.

Also, overlapping initials increases the skill of typing about the game since you have to write out the whole name.

: - What's the point of Capt. Del Rio,

More cutscene time. Gameplay is boring. Frankly the only tactical mistake he made was not dropping every nuke they had on the planet before they left. Requiem is a hell-hole that Lasky is a fool for bringing the Infinity back to.

: - Who thought the new Spartan armor looked good, especially the helmets?

Don't you know? Detail is the new silhouette design.

: - Why do the Sentinels just teleport away instead of getting destroyed and
: dropping a Sentinel beam?

Too much awesome. Having so many Sentinel Beams on Requiem in such close proximity to one another causes a critical mass of awesome to build in the air. The death of a Sentinel Beam Carrying Sentinel causes a spark, opening a rift to another dimension, sucking the remains of the Sentinel and the weapon with it.

Just be glad we haven't met any Enforcers yet!

: - Why are so many gametypes and gametype options gone?

You don't need gametypes and options when you have Infinity Slayer. Customisation is for heathens who do not trust in 343i's wisdom.

: - Who thought this ordnance system was a good idea, or better than what we had
: before?

CoD has it.

: - Where's my manual?

Trying to save the planet bro. Ignore all the useless stuff they put in the LE.

: - Why are there Forerunner weapon racks all over Requiem?

Forerunners follow the Swiss ideal of having a gun in every closet. Just they forgot about the strict ammo control and ubiquitous training - which is why their civilisation fell to the Flood.

: - Who thought the HUD was good?

There is no such thing as clutter. Detail is next-gen.

: - I mentioned gametypes, but in particular, WTF is up with CTF?

What are you talking about? It's by far the most popular objective playlist, therefore it must be a huge success!

: - How is someone that hasn't been reading the books or HBO supposed to
: understand around a third of what's going on?

Skill gap.

: - Why does Spartan Ops have zero challenge the vast majority of the time?

Everyone plays it for the plot - like a TV show! No one wants to get hung up on 'challenge.'

: - Where's my campaign and Spartan Ops theater/saved film capability?

Nobody used that anyway. There was a poll of three whole people and everyone said campaign was for lamers.

: - Why is the Didact so mad?

You ever taken a really cold shower? Well, multiply that by 15 million times and thats close to how pissed off the Didact is for being in cryo sleep for the last 100,000 years. It's perfectly understandable to go on a genocidal rampage.

: - We save Earth? again? really?

What did you expect to do? 'Kick ass in outer space'? HA! So last decade. Earth is where it's at now. And in North America, specifically.
