Re: Questions: a (sort of) review of Halo 4

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


: - Why don't the Chief or Cortana say anything when the player finds logs from
: Halsey?

More to the point: why were they there? To our knowledge Halsey never stepped on board her daughter's ship. Or is there some untold story in the works?

: - Who thought the HUD was good? I saw a comparison here on the forum a little
: while back and it did improve from what we saw at E3 last year, but why
: stop there? Why not eliminate the pointless lines, the illegible text, and
: the blocked-off areas?

Frankie loved the Halo 3 HUD and Halo 4 is a successor to Halo 3. I don't like it myself and would like the option for a less cluttered HUD in Halo 5.

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

How was anyone who HAD read the books and shit supposed to follow it?

The only way you could have followed the story the first time through would have been to have watched the Waypoint Terminals first. Previous released content is not enough.

: - What ever happened to there being a fictional, in-game reason the
: Chief's armor is different ?

I was going to say that they realized that the attempt was doomed to fail so they pulled it. But I suspect that there never was such a thing.

: - Why is the Didact so mad? Why is the version of the Didact in the game
: inconsistent with the Halo 3 terminals, the Halo 4 terminals except the
: last one or two, and apparently the books?

Which is why having seen all the previous supplementary material is not enough.

: What do you guys (HBO) think about all this? Are you wondering about anything
: in particular that Halo 4 brought to mind?

Why were Halsey's logs on board the FUD?

Why was the portal network a mystery in SpOps, the Chief knew 'all' about them. Was he debriefed? Are we to believe that ONI covered it up? ;-)

I've pretty much forgotten any other questions that may have occurred to me since November.
