I still don't understand how it's possible that they are premiering a trailer during a rerun of Fallon.
There's a reason why they look like that, they're not your normal covenant.- changing art and sound design: the covenant look plain wrong and their weapons lack the alien sound they always had. e.g. fuel rod gun sounds 'off'. if 343i wanted to leave their own mark on the covenant, they should've redesigned weapons, vehicles and equipment or added a new species to the covenant, not redesigned the morphology of our beloved sangheili and kig-yar.
I'm pretty pumped for Halo 4 and I'm very happy over some changes (such as sprint not being an armor ability any more, and the loadouts), but there's really been some baffling design decisions:
- Flag autopickup/no dropping/waypoint over carrier: especially the latter is a dealbreaker for me since I took delight in being a sneaky flag carrier. won't be playing ctf apart from one or two games just to check it out.
- removal of assault and other gametypes: why not at least leave them in for custom games? porting gametypes from reach isn't that difficult, is it?
- absence of several popular vehicles (chopper, revenant, falcon, hornet): we have less vehicles than in halo 3, I believe. shit's crazy.
- no hidden skulls: I personally don't care but I can see why people would be upset
- no option to disable the CoD-like clutter on the hud: I'm no expert but I can't imagine that this is hard to implement
- changing art and sound design: the covenant look plain wrong and their weapons lack the alien sound they always had. e.g. fuel rod gun sounds 'off'. if 343i wanted to leave their own mark on the covenant, they should've redesigned weapons, vehicles and equipment or added a new species to the covenant, not redesigned the morphology of our beloved sangheili and kig-yar.
- forge: human forge pieces only, built maps still look ugly, the forge canvases lack a proper large, flat area for building such as sandbox
- i'm sure i forgot a few
I hope 343i will reconsider
It's premièring on a rerun?
I saw no such floodsassination in there. You're going to have to post a time stamp.
CTF. Dislike the changes. Gameplay becomes very 1 dimensional. No more sneaky caps, no standoffs, no flag pulls to block a cap, no dropping flag if enemy gets a random spawn by you.
hurr durr
Supposedly the unggoy/kig-yar were genetically engineered, but how come the sangheili look different as well? The whole look is just way off.
Must've quoted before you edited
Because that's going to matter when you're fighting them. I think this is one of those problems that people have when they've only been looking at a game. The fact is that what most defines these enemy types is not their graphical detail, but how they behave during gameplay encounters.
The first point is fairly worrisome. Going through AA's, the only one who seem worthwhile, aka not useless would be PV, Camo, and Thruster. The mods will be heavily dependable on the playlist you/I enter, so it's a wash, but overall it does seem like those two are and will be the most popular.
... that's an incredibly clinical way of looking at it. The Universe has a pre-established art style, part of the "canon".
Blah, I think that is an overblown thing. If it was up to people, nothing would change. Complaining about gameplay changes, now that is something I can get behind.
Really? FUCK
