you really wanna do THIS
I have a bone to pick with you about snapchat.

This seems like the place to do it.
Okay, let's do it like this.
Halo 4 = SnapChat
Chief = You
Cortana = Me
Is the problem you have with Cortana and Halo 4 the fact that Cortana didn't send enough... "Suggestive" material to Chief?
I think Cortana has 'suggested' plenty. Trust me...PLENTY.
It's just that Halo 4 doesn't have much replay value, once the Chief has seen it, there's not enough to come back to. We, errrr, Cortana and Chief...need some time apart.
Well you like DMR and active camo so opinion invalid discussion over I win
Am I doing right or should I work in a ce pistol reference?
The underlying issue with Spartan Ops from the character standpoint is you're playing as your own Spartan, but the plot is revolving around *another* group of Spartans. You're essentially going through the equivalent of Halo 2's bifurcated storyline except with a far larger cast with less to say.
SOps would have been stronger if they had just made you Majestic or cut Majestic from the plot entirely. As it was, Crimson was doing all the work while Majestic usually seemed extraneous except for maybe two instances (the final escape from Requiem and grabbing the Didact's Gift.)
The prerendered cutscenes were amazing, but I'd have taken in-game cutscenes if it meant we had a more cohesive experience. How awesome was it when you got to break free and assassinate the Elite right at the beginning of Episode 6? I felt like having everything prerendered meant we missed out on stuff like that, and forced more of the story into movies and out of the missions.
I appreciated Roland a lot as well, especially when they sort of hung a lantern on the issues with Season 1.0.

Careful now.. You don't want to be the first irrelevænt scumbag on my highly exclusive ignore list.
This took me out of the experience and would've worked better if we saw our Spartan in cutscenes.

Ohh, I wonder what he will say.
Is that guy that was the original creative director for H4, but left due to creative differences?

My guess is it'll be shown on June 10th, 2013.

Was he Creative Director? I know that was the reason he left but I didn't know he had that high of a position. Or maybe I'm forgetting.

If I recall correctly.
Fake edit: Upon some searches for articles about his departure, some of them refer to him "creative director" and other refer to him as "narrative director".
So, not really sure.
thank you Axis Animation for the wonderful CGI

I know this was posted already but more people need to watch this at 5:23 (IGN's Most Anticipated Games of 2014 - Game Scoop) when they talk about Halo 4. McCaffrey is out of touch with the Halo fanbase.
Flood the comments!
EDIT: Interestingly enough, Halo 5 ranked well for most anticipated game when we don't have any information on it. Halo is not fully dead yet, it's just missing in action.

It looks like one of the American Olympic gymnasts. That McKayla Maroney chick. I swear I've seen a couple of them recently. Don't know why, she must've become legal or something.
Edit: and there's even an off topic thread on it LOL. I'm not the only one who noticed them.
You know what else better be missing in action, goddamn CoD elements in my Halo.

Yup. Best Vaulter in the world, so dominant, landed her routine flawlessly only to fall in the final when it mattered and got silver.
The only reason they put her on team was because she was a 99.9% lock to win the Gold in Vault.

lol no. The only Halo gaffers on my ignore list are a pair of negative nancies that annoyed me beyond belief in my short stint of playing Halo/Battlefield with them. They're both nice guys for sure but ugh.
That definitely could have been a cool idea. I do think that Chief's reuniting with the Infinity should have been handled differently. Palmer trying to act tough was semi-expected I suppose, but with how much Chief did for humanity I feel that there should have been a much bigger reaction from a host of characters. 343 could have even had just one background technician losing his shit in the back of the bridge or something for all I care.
We barely saw any reactions at all, and from what we did see it was just "Oh hey Chief. Nice to see you. General Grievous, you're shorter than I expected" bullshit.
She was on an episode of Bones recently. Acted decently. I thought she was cute during the Olympics but not so much now.
And if we're talking about Olympic gymnasts none are better than my girl Alicia Sacramone:

Awww that's cute I like the CE pistol and painting near me and funkown do you have a avatar size of the stormtrooper? I'd like to use it if you would be alright with me doing so.
What happens in the warher level
Chief's interaction with the UNSC were as if he had been there the whole time the was missing nobody was shocked by him turning up at the ship.

He first was a Creative Director and than Narrative Designer for Halo 4 before he left 343.

That sounds about right.
It is a shame that they didn't chose marvel again for the new comics.

Oh wow. I really need to get a copy of those comics. Are all the Halo comics by Marvel this good?

Bloodlines was good. The art was great, as you can see, and the story was pretty good. Interesting characters with good build up, action, and execution. Highly recommend.
Helljumper was okay. The art was not as good as Bloodlines but still pretty good. The story was pretty average. I was never confused reading it but had to stop every once in a while and ask why. It just did not seem to have a point sometimes. Still recommend.
Uprising was a mess in the art department and the story wasn't good enough to make up for it. I was really disappointed with it and I guess I recommend it because it shows what Chief did between Halo 2 and Halo 3 but it has a bunch of other stuff crammed into it that amounts to literally nothing.
The Halo Graphic Novel has a bunch of short stories with different artists and writers. I can think of two of the stories that were fantastic (one about Sergeant Johnson, the other about some Elites battling the Flood) but can't recall the rest. It has a bunch of really cool art by a ton of different people in the back too. Recommended as well.
I think that's all the Marvel Halo books. I have them all back at my parents' house so hopefully I remembered them all correctly.
Too bad Black Team isn't an interesting group of characters. The Spartan love affair was cringe-worthy.
Shame the story was ass
In reference to the art in the back it was very good
This one was done by Lorraine Mcless who was an art director at bungie
But the story as a whole wasn't that bad i liked the inclusion of the magiont line that was quite a cool piece of forerunner technology.
