: Your point about the human population and how many the Didact killed: If the
: population is that low, wouldn't ANY amount of human deaths be a really
: bad thing? And what does it matter where he wanted to fire? He's in a
: pretty much unstoppable Forerunner ship so he can just blast away at his
: leisure.

Good point. Too bad the Infinity is just fine with sending science team after science team and soldier after soldier to its death during Spartan Ops. You'd think they'd learn the first 100000 times that if they leave people down there without Spartan guard, odds are they're dead. Also, yes, theoretically the thought of the Didact being in a basically unstoppable Forerunner ship does seem problematic, but our incompetent friend the Didactpire can't just crush Chief with his mind or throw him off immediately or even utterly mash him during his first meeting and is instead content to get beaten by light, space magic, a grenade, and let his ship get nuked. The writing of the game made it so that the big ship and the big Composer were never truly a threat, especially considering the ease with which they were destroyed.

: You said in your responses to Melee that you didn't want to sound hostile.
: You were just reacting to what you consider to be 343's terrible plot. I
: think I'm the same way. I'm reacting to everybody else, as I'm unable to
: see why everyone has such a problem with the campaign. So, like you and
: Melee said, no hostility intended.

Haha I don't see anything you're saying as hostile. I'm definitely pretty hostile toward H4's story because I can't believe how awful the writing is. You enjoy it, and MANY MANY people enjoy it. I'm not going to pretend like people don't, but at the same time I can't pretend like 343 Industries did anything close to a good job with the campaign's story. :P
