Iunno about the game itself but that short promotional live-action series on youtube is pretty well made.
anybody watch foreward unto dawn?
I think it was called something like that.
Prob cause that IS what it is called.
I agree with you. the universe could do a miniseries very well. I liked it. the end was cool with the helmets coming off. also girl dying was really predictable. chief killing hunter with grenade was awesome.
Finished the campaign. Was excellent. love the suppressor weapon. The emotional impact from the game was very good. I liked the ending a lot, even if it made me sad. the music was not up to par with the previous titles. but the sound fx were absolutely amazing. the pacing was decent. the game play I think was good? I am undecided about parts of it. I am not sure if it lacked diversity or not. I felt like i was using the same strategy for most of the game. lightrifle the floating sentinel-like things, use suppressor on crawlers and knights. Mixed it up a little bit, but mostly felt the exact same. I played on normal, so I look forward to going back and upping the difficulty and seeing what changed. If I hadn't read the books, I would have no idea what the covenant were doing in this game. there is really no in-game explanation for them being on requiem at all. I miss johnson a lot.
While the narrative and slow cracking of john as the silent protagonist worked beautifully, there was very little development of any secondary characters. Lasky and Palmer barely had any development at all, so hoping that changes with spartan ops. I was also hoping for more of an "OH ****E its the chief" moment when he met up with the rest of the humans. I like the new uniforms/armor of the UNSC. I think. undecided. also the mammoth. that was stupid. I understand the point of a spotter, but what is the point of not being able to aim and shoot by yourself without one, when you can clearly see the object you are want to shoot, and can probably read it on sensors or something. and why did the flying covenant scarab not finish off the mammoth after slagging its tires? that didn't make sense to me. while I'm on the subject of other ploty things. mantis. why. and what. imo a mech does not fit in line with the halo verse. its a bigger target. put shields on a tank. it was fun, but kinda ridiculous. lastly the death star trenchrun. what. it made sense, but was dumb. I dont get why the master chief is now a master pilot.
I managed to find three terminals on my first playthrough.
In order, as near as I can make of it:
Palmer has a grand total of fifteen minutes of actual screen time (if that) and barely more than that in mission giving your orders. She really doesn't have time to be developed as a character. Lasky got the lion's share of his character development in the live action Forward Unto Dawn webseries.
The Lich didn't slag the tires, it disabled the gun, and the Mammoth backed the **** up to avoid getting toasted ther est of the way. Or possibly the Lich couldn't destroy the Mammoth, just disable it. Think Plasma Pistol, but "**** you" size.
I personally liked the Mantis. It's Mjolnir armor XXXL size.
John is good at everything related to combat. Seriously, that's why he exists. He can drive scorpions, warthogs, mongeese, ghosts, wraiths, specters, choppers, prowlers, revenants, and can pilot falcons, hornets, banshees, longswords (end of Halo:CE), and obviously Broadswords.

will have to replay the mission with the lich. What I thought happened was it shot the mammoth, and then floated off to drop off ground troops rather than deliver the killing blow. Still doesn't make sense with the mammoth not being able to shoot what it can see/probably read on sensors or something. the mantis was cool, i just don't feel like it fits in with the halo universe. I get your point about him being the master of everything war related. and the tag for the original halo was "build for combat. bred for war. master of any weapon. DRIVER of ANY vehicle." if I remember right. it just seems weird to me to have him be so good at everything. in our military now, i don't think you'd have somebody driving a tank be able to fly a plane and specialize in both. (said without first person knowledge of military). I agree the knights were not aggressive enough. they pretty much let me pick off the floaty ones, then the crawlers with ease before i engaged the knights. gameplay could have been better. the art, visuals, (THE COLOr!) was superb. the use of lighting was pretty cool too.
I hope to see more interaction between chief and the spartan 4s. I wonder what kilo-5 and lord Hood are up to at this point.
Also there was plenty of character development in forward unto dawn. But there wasn't much in the game itself.
Oh, and uh...
Cortana's death scene made me want to cry like a little *****. :( I mean I think she's going to be space-magicked back to life at some point, but still.

She'll most likely return with the Didact at some point. ;)
