Halo |OT14| They call it Halo

Why are the Spartans amazed by the Elite's camo technology?
AN ENERGY SWORD? WOOOOOOWWWWW BRO.

Yeah, I didn't find that piece particularly convincing as in Universe piece. 20+ years of war, Spartan 4s, the new best of the best, with the most expensive tech on the most expensive ship, and they're blown away by common Covie tech?

At the very least, it breaks my/the players connection with the characters as this is nothing new for us.

--------------------------
On a related note, the expressions on their faces strike me as so ridiculous, it's almost as if 343I are giving us a wink and a nod.

Yeah overshield seems to come up constantly even at 90 seconds, I can't imagine 60 seconds. It makes for pretty good flow though since you have to rush to overshield so often.

I think if you put ramps to inner ring from sniper door it would be pretty neat too

Almost like Sanctuary? Yea I can see that working. I don't necessarily think it's an issue though.

Well UNSC camo has been around since Reach and my SPOPS Spartan certainly has a camo loadout...

I'm not one to complain about canon (S3s on REACH!?!?!?), but the camo incident stuck out like Heckfu at a waxing parlor.


EDIT: Double post. Why don't you nerds post faster!?

Curious - was the Camo AA in Reach built off of Covenant tech?

Make a Camo AA avatar and we should all wear it with a big fat caution sign over it. It'll be like a HaloGAF protest lol

We must unite!

I'll meet you halfway.

It is an awful scene. I do not understand how such a scene could get into the CGI episode. They try to sell the new Spartan IVs as super solider. But this scene showcases them as incompetence. What's the point of War games simulation? I like Spartan IVs but the characters 343i created are awful. Palmer, Team Majestic, Team Switchback. They do feel all incompetence. A huge missed opportunity. Sadly. Maybe they can change track with fiction or a second season... (And yes. I wish a second season of SpOps if it is like the Second half of season one.)

The Spartan Ops stuff? A mechanic to have them find Halsey.

Sorry, I thought you were talking about the stuff from this weeks SpOps Episodes and Chapters.

I'm saying it's how they're going to end up meeting Halsey again, given that they have no other leads.
Yes. The map clearly shows the position of Jul on Requiem. But I look forward what (Episode 9 spoiler)
those maps are about, the Librarian shows Halsey.

Fixed.

Halo 4 needed more cut-scenes and ambient conversation.
Well there was more Chief and Cortana banter than ever before. I thought some of the cutscenes were sort of stupid in that they could have been done in game (unless there were some odd tech reasons.)

EDIT lol at gaming side Durango rumors. "I'm never buying it" based on unsubstantiated rumors? Good gravy, I thought HaloGAF overreacts but we usually have better reasons than this :)

Camo needs to be changed into an ordnance drop with the same weighted percentage as Incinerator Cannon, Sniper, and Rockets.

This crouching camo bullshit is insane.

The ChiefxCortana parts were the strongest parts of the story. Aside from her weird sendoff, Halo 4 did well in this regard.

If they could have it so he fades out as if he's putting on camo...

That was something we noted last night actually. People switching to camo half way through the match in Infinity Doubles. No sign of PV though.

Played Doubles Pro with Fufis last night and it was good. It just made me miss Team Slayer Pro that much more, though.
