Why did the artwork for the comics become shit? I know it's by different people but for the first comic the artwork is gold but for your avatar it looks like babies first comic drawing.

Marvel did Graphic Novel, Bloodline, Helljumper and Uprising. All were well-recieved in the community.

Dark Horse did Initiation and Escalation. Both of those series have been generally considered pretty bad.

I'm unconvinced 343 didn't just use the "Pacing content" excuse as a way to weasel out of admitting that their game was, again, unfinished. This game shouldn't have been released until all of the staple features were properly implemented. Forge should've been in this game from day one, and the same goes for the rest of the custom game options. Their absence discouraged a lot of people from continuing to play the game, including myself.
It's kinda weird, but it has crossed my mind that maybe the game really is *that* unfinished.

But my main thinking here is that Microsoft is horrifically afraid of yet another situation where the player base dies off quickly and never recovers. Halo's their flagship game series, and that sort of situation has happened for two games now, H4 and MCC. A third failure is not only embarrassing, but could be seen as a damning sign that Halo is a dying series, and 343i will never repeat what Bungie did. Halo 5 dying off like its recent predecessors would be a pretty devastating failure.

It's already struggling to stay in the top 10 most played XBL titles. Last time I checked, the only games below it were CODAW and Fifa 15.
Ugh :[

Sad thing is that the art in the last few issues was actually pretty nice



Clearly it got a decent budget because the series was ending

Yeah, but story and art are inversely proportional

as one gets better, the other gets worse

Why did Dark Horse due such a shitty job with them? They did a lot of Star Wars comics which look nothing like the shit that was being drawn for Halo.

I don't know. The more recent issues have been pretty good from an art perspective. Just a shame the story turned shite in the trade-off.

I notice that AI has three different coloured "eyes."

We know blue shit for Forerunners was likely Builders.

Orange is military.

Suppose green would be Lifeworkers?

Colors don't represent the castes of Forerunners. They represent states of being/status for Forerunner devices.

IE, we associate green lights with functioning/activated electronics in our society, that doesn't mean green = electronics.

Not to mention the simple answer of the colors chosen are aesthetically pleasing. The blandness and grayness of Forerunner structures is not the status quo of their architecture. It's really only used for installations of a utilitarian nature [like military sites] because there's no reason to have them look appealing. Civilian structures used a larger variety of colors and aesthetic features than just grey/white metal. Most common of which is hardlight decorations.

(The Didact's home is a pretty good example; it was constructed out of bedrock with radioactive fossils interspersed throughout that glowed at night)

Maybe so. But the Forerunners seem pretty proud of their high level AI's. The one portrayed there is interesting if you start to look at it's design.

Look at the three colours on the eyes and take my colour theory into account. Notice how they're ringed and connected to each other. Forerunner society had three big powerhouse classes. The scientists, Lifeworkers, Military, Promethians, and Engineers, Builders.

So, if we take a look at that big interconnected ring, what does it encompass?

The symbol in the middle of the machines faceplate. And if I remember right, that's the symbol of the mantle, no?

See where I'm going here?

Builders
Miners
Lifeworkers
Warrior-Servants
Juridicals
Engineers

It's a theory many of us had back in 2012 when 343i introduced greater variety in their architecture.

The idea was that:

Blue = Lifeworker/Builder
Red/Orange = Warrior-Servant/Promethean
Green = Miner

However, 343i shot this theory down in early 2013 and gave the explanation I just gave you; that the colors are not indicative of a faction or rate, and serve a similar purpose that status lights do to us.

"flaming nipple chops"-Your host, the man they call Ghost.

To say, 'nothing is true', is to realize that the foundations of society are fragile, and that we must be the shepherds of our own civilization. To say, 'everything is permitted', is to understand that we are the architects of our actions, and that we must live with their consequences, whether glorious or tragic.
Since the lights don't mean anything, it would be nice if they made the different Forerunner factions' have their own distinct architectural design. Have they tried anything like that yet?

Misspoke, I meant that since the lights don't tell anything about what faction owns it. Anyway, you have anything down on what each color means?

Blue - Standard/Normal/Nominal
Orange - Aggressive/Unbound/Rampant
Green - Support/Diagnostical/Repair

Obviously, this isn't uniformly used. Some colors may be chosen for aesthetic reasons (MP) and this especially can go for Monitors, where 2401, 686, and 049 all had a red color scheme and weren't rampant.
