I'm fine with it now, I just am gonna miss that classic Halo zoom is all. its iconic.

: medals for everything - this already happened in Reach and more so in Halo 4,
: they're just continuing it-- I don't have a problem with it except for a
: generic kill medal in the game itself and not knowing what any of the new
: ones are

Next were gonna have a walking medal, I mean thats all thats left really. why the need for all these medals?

: dudebro spartans - what, because of the pose at the end? someone commented
: elsewhere about them high-fiving like it was an affront to everything good
: about Halo; I don't get this attitude

I think its just because we've been used to have S2 and S3's act that these S4's feel like copycats its been an issue since Halo 4 but now that they are starting to be given sports personalities the issue is rearing its head even more, these are just bros in suits not spartans.

: I'm not crazy about how it looks either, but at the end of the day I care
: more about how it plays, and I don't really have any suggestions that
: aren't "make it look how it used to", which a) sounds backward,
: b) isn't a lot to go on, and c) probably won't happen. I will say though
: that while I think the pistol being black worked in Halo 2 and ODST it
: doesn't look so good here, and the iron sight or whatever it is on the BR
: looks dumb and they could change it a lot of ways without going to an
: older look and I'd like it better.

If the regular sword is gone, give this thing a blue tint and I'll be good though its just gonna look like a blue potato instead of an orange one. I just care if I can kill with it like always and that its not that cheap (lets not go back to H2's super sword here).

--------------------------------------------

: I really appreciate the announcements because I have a bad memory, but yeah,
: once is enough, I can keep an eye on the game time after that, having a
: bunch just clutters up the audio.

Yeah glad I'm not alone in this, I can hear just fine I don't want to hear the same thing 3 more times unless I can give a spartan callback that tells the spartans "I GET THE FUCKING POINT SHUTUP!!"

: that might be because health is present and visible again

:\. I think even in Reach when health was a factor too the shields didn't go down this fast, it could be that gameplay just needs tweaking I just hope it isn't present in the final I don't want to be solely reliant on health and have the shields be some quick 2 second thing you have every once in a while.
