This is getting to be too much *Rant-ish*
Posted By: SnowJP 360 <gamerkoshi@mac.com>Date: 12/5/09 7:08 p.m.

In Response To: Re: Holy Freaking Crap. (Hedgemony)


First off, since when do spartans wear customized armor, or even armor with identification markings on it? The only way to tell a spartan's RANK is by their FoF tag (As seen in GoO), and it is repeatedly said that only the spartans themselves and Dr. Halsey could tell them apart in their armor.

Second, human shielding pre-Mark V? I know that the technology needed to be tested, but if they could put it on these booster frames, why don't we see longswords with shields? SURELY they would have more power available to use on shields than a rocket bike would. Even if the shields on these things only last for the 10 minutes of the mission, imagine how much better longswords would fare with 10 minutes worth of shields.

Third, a LAAG that can take down Seraphs? Really?

Also, BIG PROBLEM. Kelly's armor's chestplate was.... bumpier than the other spartans :/ I know it's anime, but please, that's just... wrong.

I don't consider Legends canon (puts up flame shield). there are too many contradictions with KNOWN FACTS about the Halo universe. The stories, while very "cool", just don't fit with the canon. They contradict the games, the books, even THEMSELVES (Cal, as far as I remember, didn't have any identifying marks on her armor, and she also didn't have an altered chestplate.)

When writing about a fictional universe, I would say it is better to think "What happened in this universe that I can write about" rather than "What story should I write". If you think of the universe as being real, and that these events ACTUALLY HAPPENED, you end up with a much better story, because it fits together. On the other hand, if you think of the canon as something that can be changed to make way for a cooler story, the story becomes weaker overall because the "facts" are always changing.

PLEASE don't continue this kind of thinking as 343 takes up the Halo story. I was optimistic when you hired Vociferous and Cocopjojo, hoping that they would be able to restrain the rest of the story team from doing anything too absurd.

I REALLY hope that Legends is just a shaky start to Microsoft's full control of the Halo franchise.
