fuckin lol
Spoilerapparently the blue team missions are something like 2-3 times as long as the osiris missions. meaning it kinda evens out. you can see this in the missions already released. seems as if the Osiris missions will be around 20 min long segments while those focusing on the chiefs perspective will be longer 40-50 min play-throughs

It's understandable that they want their mark on the series, but it's frustrating nonetheless.

It's understandable that they want their mark on the series, but it's frustrating nonetheless.The whole point of the game is it's a mystery. We know as much about what Blue Team are doing as anyone else. The point is we're supposd to figure out what is going on as Osiris is, not just get bored while watching Osiris do whatever because we already know the answer.A murder mystery from the POV of the murderer isn't a mystery. Same thing here.
And thus I'm not reading it

So? I don't see the problem with that.
Quote from: citrus snek on October 19, 2015, 11:59:11 AMSo? I don't see the problem with that.Not everyone will. My problem is that for (however many books and games have been released so far that my lazy ass doesn't want to count), we have been told that they are the best of the best. And now, we're being told (allegedly) this new team is apparently better, since they have to finish off the enemy that the originals cannot.It's clear that 343 wants their team (While the original team is Bungie's) to have a stronger role, and most likely take the lead in future games. That's fine, but until I see how they are storywise, I reserve judgements that I dislike it.(Trying to keep this as vague as possible in case Bacon stumbles in)

What sort of issue would Blue run into that they couldn't handle that Osiris suddenly could? Unless, it's just a case of numbers adding up to help even the odds.

But right now, I don't like it. Simple as that.
