I really wish the franchise wasn't heading towards this direction. Being written better?
343 has butchered Halo. I don't even consider it canon.
By making a better story? Oh. Then let's get the writing staff from those guys who wrote Destiny to make it better amirite?
Making Cortana an annoying clingly cunt and Chief fucking running his mouth while being hunted is not a better story. 343 has turned Halo into a sappy space opera without the cool unique shit Bungie could add.
As opposed to the annoying Cortana shit in Halo 3? She was rampant in Halo 4, so she's like that for a reason and not just because "lol fuck it".
And Chief has always been more than a one-lining dudebro space soldier in the books. His portrayal in Halo 4 is far more similar to how he is in the books.
By the way, Halo has never been unique.
I get that's how he was suppose to be in the books, but in way the game's story was written wasn't even similar to the books at all.
Umm, what you just said makes no sense.
The way the story was written is more of an amateur fanfic than an actual story imo.
Halo 4? Even though it brings in and acknowledges Extended Universe canon?
It's objectively one of the better written stories in a Halo game for multiple reasons.
I kindly disagree, but, your opinion.
Hey, Halo 4 was pretty mediocre when compared to the other Halos but its story was better written for the most part. Halo 2 comes close but it was incomplete which is sad.
I still say for me, there are only 3 stories in the Halo universe that define Halo. Halo Combat Evolved, Halo The Fall of Reach, and Halo First Strike.
So Halo 2, 3, Wars and ODST never happened?
They did. It's just when I tend to think Halo, more of the original game comes to my mind than anything since I grew up with it. Still feels new to me to this day.
Like each time Halo is mentioned, I always have flashbacks of CE. For me, CE is the definitive experience. Halo 2, while I did like, along with 3 and ODST, the mechanics really changed. I'm not saying that's really a bad thing because it still was Halo, but it somewhat lost that feel that the first game had. I mean unless Halo 5 wins Game of the year, so far Halo CE is still the one holding up. It's the only game of the year title in the franchise, and yet it has so many flaws regardless but it's still considered amazing for everything it has.
ODST actually is the closest to Halo CE in some sense. The return of health packs, fall damage, the pistol scope, only difference is you're not a Spartan.
But I guess the reason why I like Halo CE more was because it was just that definitive experience when Halo was just establishing it's identity and wasn't exactly what it is today. When I read The Fall of Reach or heck even First Strike, if these books were games, I'd say they would have been created in the same engine as CE and it would still bring that charm in there. Halo The Flood is combat evolved in book format at least.
Anyway, all this talk about Halo CE makes me want to play Halo Custom Edition while listening to the Halo 1 Soundtrack.
My nostalgia glasses are on too tight today. I just can't get enough.
Well I never said that CE was bad...its the backbone of Halo so I would never say anything wrong with it. I just said that it had a good but simple story, that's all. Halo 2 was more complex bringing in the Covenant point of view and Halo 3 well...I liked it but it was straightforward. Halo now is embracing its lore, which I find it to be good.
I guess I can understand that since there is more of a story told now, but I just wish this wasn't what's going to happen instead, but alas. I can't tell the devs to change the story now.
It's just hard for me to find the current direction to be cannon. I'm sure some people actually felt the same way with 2 and 3 even though I thought they were done well.
I guess we all have that point where we feel like we want to change elements of the story if we don't like what we see with it. That's kind how I felt with 4 and 5.
Halo 5 is not even out, so I don't know how you can form an opinion of it just yet.
I'm from the future, where Halo 6 just got announced. <_<
It's just my educated guess with where Halo 5 is heading, a prediction if you will. I don't know Halo just hasn't felt the same for me in a very long time. Starting from Reach that is. That's why I play the older games instead.
Reach never happened. lol
See? I agree. Bungie really fucked Reach up storywise. I was expecting Blue team with the Chief from the book, but they kicked all of us in the teeth with Noble team.
I just dislike how they disregarded the Fall of Reach novel completely.

There's someone as strong, as fast and as dangerous as the Master Chief himself going after him with orders given by ONI To be fair, Chief is actually a pretty average skilled Spartan. There's already others that are faster, stronger etc etc than him.
Still, the Chief is like one of a handful of Spartan-IIs left and seen as the best of them...because he stopped galactic genocide...twice. Locke is a Spartan, a more advanced Spartan, and seeing him going against the Chief seems pretty interesting.
If you ask me, even in the books, I find it beyond ridiculous how he always lives every situation. His luck just never runs out, it's fucking insane.
And as for the current story, what is Chief the villain now? In the past, Chief wanted to save many people as he can, that was his mission, even in Fall of Reach. He was always pushing himself to save his team and get them out alive, this was before he was paired with Cortana as well. Now after losing Cortana he decides to go rouge and will kill the very organization that trained him and has been on his side for years?
If that's the case let's bring the alternate cannon to light where Chief kills Captain Keys real early in the game causing Cortana to rat on you by getting invincible marines to pretty much kick your ass dead.
Of course Chief is not the villain, we still have Jul, ONI and the Flood running around. And no, he's not trying to kill the UNSC, he's looking for answers. Locke was sent by ONI, an already messed group with shady secrets and shady everything. Hell, if the UNSC proper found out the shit that ONI is hiding Lord Hood would send a contingent of Spartan-IVs to apprehend Osman.
And who's to say he's not with Blue Team? He left with them at the end of the Next 72 Hours after finally beating the Didact for a second time. Makes more sense why Locke has a team of IVs and the Arbiter helping him, they are going after the Chief AND Blue Team.
Okay. Here is what I really don't get. Why the fuck is the Arbiter helping Locke? In Halo 3, Arbiter is the Chief's Ally, what caused him to just turn the table on Chief all of a sudden?
And the fact that all this shit about ONI is now in the lore, causing ONI to be an enemy of the UNSC, that only makes the cannon even more problematic. I'll admit, I think ONI was a massive joke when it was written into the lore. I didn't even like it when it was mentioned in ODST.
Once again.... I hate the direction this is heading towards. I kinda wish it wasn't going there. The cannon could have used a better route.
Well Locke is just going to the Arbiter for advice since he knew the Chief better than anyone else (Johnson is dead and Halsey is well...missing). Arbiter doesn't even know why the Chief left and might be wanting to know why.
Now I know that ONI is a lot shit, but it at least gives the story some spice other than just aliens and rebels fighting the UNSC. Its like an internal problem, much harder to get rid of because they're like Edgar Hoover, they hold most of the cards.
What about The Flood? There are other Halo Rings left right? Forerunner Flood is the direction I would have taken.
Halo 4 already hinted on the bigger thread, the threat that made the Didact desperate and that was coming. And besides, this is just the beginning of the Reclaimer Saga, there's still a lot to be answered, right now Chief is looking for answers like we are. And from the looks of it, Mendicant Bias holds the answers or at least hints.
The Reclaimer Saga is what this is called? Well that explains why it feels really different from what to expect from Halo.
Too bad the mechanics get changed with it.
What's wrong with the Reclaimer Saga? 343 already said that the Original Trilogy's story ended, this is a new chapter. New story. The aftermath of the Human-Covenant War.
I think the problem is there was a massive gap between the original trilogy and the Reclaimer Saga, maybe that's why I have a hard time digesting the new games and trying to accept them in my mind as cannon.
There are times where I do wish I just had a memory wipe of the whole game, where I never played the first game, because my outlook on the new games isn't fresh. It's poisoned with nostalgia from the older games, even story wise. I try to enjoy it but it's just so damn hard to find acceptance for it.
I guess it's kinda like knowing a child for years and then missing that child growing up only to find them as an adult and he/she has completely changed, and your mind just can't register that because there is a gap that you missed.
Maybe that's why I feel this way with 4 and 5. There is a big gap that hasn't been filled.
Ah, I see. Well there will be a gap in between Star Wars Episode VI and VII, doesn't mean that Ep. VII is not canon or will be bad.

I am disappointed by your decision to press charges, but I am not surprised. My only hope is that the courts will see the matters differently than you have. You see; I never had the chance to serve in battle. Nor did fate provide me the opportunity to sacrifice myself for humanity as it did for so many others in the Great War. Someone extremely dear to me was lost very early in my life. My mind has always plagued me with the question: If the choice had been placed in my hands, could I have saved her? The memory of her has haunted me my entire life, and more so in these last few years than I could ever have imagined.
But, given the events of these past few weeks, I feel confident that had I been given the chance, I would have made those sacrifices myself... Had I only the chance. I know that you disagreed with my methods and that others will as well. This is beyond my control. However, I cannot imagine that any court would be able to convict me no matter how low their opinion of my actions might be. You must understand one basic fact for all this to make sense, my dear Chairman: These AI, they all come from somewhere. They are all based on a person. Our ALPHA was no exception.
And while the law has many penalties for the atrocities we inflict on others, there are no punishments for the terrors that we inflict on ourselves.
So you send your men. They won't find themselves a fight. They'll only find an old man. An old man tired, but satisfied he did his duty. An old man weary from a mind more filled with memory than it is with hope.
Sincerely yours,
the former Director of Project Freelancer,
Dr. Leonard Church.

Still, the Chief is like one of a handful of Spartan-IIs left and seen as the best of them...because he stopped galactic genocide...twice. Locke is a Spartan, a more advanced Spartan, and seeing him going against the Chief seems pretty interesting.
If you ask me, even in the books, I find it beyond ridiculous how he always lives every situation. His luck just never runs out, it's fucking insane.
And as for the current story, what is Chief the villain now? In the past, Chief wanted to save many people as he can, that was his mission, even in Fall of Reach. He was always pushing himself to save his team and get them out alive, this was before he was paired with Cortana as well. Now after losing Cortana he decides to go rouge and will kill the very organization that trained him and has been on his side for years?
If that's the case let's bring the alternate cannon to light where Chief kills Captain Keys real early in the game causing Cortana to rat on you by getting invincible marines to pretty much kick your ass dead.
Of course Chief is not the villain, we still have Jul, ONI and the Flood running around. And no, he's not trying to kill the UNSC, he's looking for answers. Locke was sent by ONI, an already messed group with shady secrets and shady everything. Hell, if the UNSC proper found out the shit that ONI is hiding Lord Hood would send a contingent of Spartan-IVs to apprehend Osman.
And who's to say he's not with Blue Team? He left with them at the end of the Next 72 Hours after finally beating the Didact for a second time. Makes more sense why Locke has a team of IVs and the Arbiter helping him, they are going after the Chief AND Blue Team.
Okay. Here is what I really don't get. Why the fuck is the Arbiter helping Locke? In Halo 3, Arbiter is the Chief's Ally, what caused him to just turn the table on Chief all of a sudden?
And the fact that all this shit about ONI is now in the lore, causing ONI to be an enemy of the UNSC, that only makes the cannon even more problematic. I'll admit, I think ONI was a massive joke when it was written into the lore. I didn't even like it when it was mentioned in ODST.
Once again.... I hate the direction this is heading towards. I kinda wish it wasn't going there. The cannon could have used a better route.
Well Locke is just going to the Arbiter for advice since he knew the Chief better than anyone else (Johnson is dead and Halsey is well...missing). Arbiter doesn't even know why the Chief left and might be wanting to know why. Now I know that ONI is a lot shit, but it at least gives the story some spice other than just aliens and rebels fighting the UNSC. Its like an internal problem, much harder to get rid of because they're like Edgar Hoover, they hold most of the cards.

I really wish the franchise wasn't heading towards this direction. Being written better?
343 has butchered Halo. I don't even consider it canon.
By making a better story? Oh. Then let's get the writing staff from those guys who wrote Destiny to make it better amirite?
Making Cortana an annoying clingly cunt and Chief fucking running his mouth while being hunted is not a better story. 343 has turned Halo into a sappy space opera without the cool unique shit Bungie could add.
As opposed to the annoying Cortana shit in Halo 3? She was rampant in Halo 4, so she's like that for a reason and not just because "lol fuck it".
And Chief has always been more than a one-lining dudebro space soldier in the books. His portrayal in Halo 4 is far more similar to how he is in the books.
By the way, Halo has never been unique.
I get that's how he was suppose to be in the books, but in way the game's story was written wasn't even similar to the books at all.
Umm, what you just said makes no sense.
The way the story was written is more of an amateur fanfic than an actual story imo.
Halo 4? Even though it brings in and acknowledges Extended Universe canon?
It's objectively one of the better written stories in a Halo game for multiple reasons.
I kindly disagree, but, your opinion.
Hey, Halo 4 was pretty mediocre when compared to the other Halos but its story was better written for the most part. Halo 2 comes close but it was incomplete which is sad.
I still say for me, there are only 3 stories in the Halo universe that define Halo. Halo Combat Evolved, Halo The Fall of Reach, and Halo First Strike.
So Halo 2, 3, Wars and ODST never happened?

Sounds like you don't know anything about making a character feel real. Bungie added shit, Halo 3 while my favorite Halo had a pretty simple story. Halo 2 was fantastic, it introduced a lot of shit. Halo 1 was simple, like bare bones simple but good regardless. Halo 4 had an amazing story that ACKNOWLEDGED the canon beyond the games rather than just ignore it like Bungie did.
I see nothing wrong with the Chief talking, what's wrong with him actually interacting verbally with others when he needs to? The only person he constantly talks to is Cortana, he only speaks to others when he needs like superior officers and the like. Cortana clingy? She was going insane and then going to die. Cortana had emotions too, so my guess is that she didn't want to die and leave the only being she cares about. Sounds pretty good to me since it too gave Chief some freaking character, a PERSONAL goal.
And all of this being hunted and stuff? Its interesting. There's someone as strong, as fast and as dangerous as the Master Chief himself going after him with orders given by ONI, all behind the UNSC's back MEANWHILE there's an alien civil war occurring and the Arbiter is going out of his way to aid Locke to HUNT his former friend, Its not that black and white anymore, there is deeper shit going on. Deeper shit that the Forerunners basically created 100,000 years prior. Its not about big green guy shoots aliens on a giant ringworld anymore, the story is evolving for the better. Something Bungie never had the spine to do because they denied the larger canon every single time.
Nothing wrong with the Chief talking. I just don't like the direction the story itself is headed. Oh and the art assets don't look right.
I can understand the art, I have problems with it myself but what's wrong with the story? What would've you prefer? We finally got an enemy that could fight the Chief more than evenly, an enemy that could've destroyed humanity in one shot. An enemy that saw the Chief like a rat but grew to see him as a worthy opponent. The Didact is the most complex enemy Halo has ever had aside from the Gravemind, although most of his character comes from the Terminals and the Forerunner Saga which is still great, but...yeah should've been in the game through flashbacks like the Librarian's explanation of the Composer. Now we have another adversary that can go against the Chief in a fight, someone as powerful as him. And the Chief is AWOL in a mission, a personal one. Not because somebody ordered him, but because he finally began to think for himself to bring back a loved one. There, Chief has more character that he has ever had in the Original Trilogy, and as much as he has in the books.

Chinese buffets, these places don't have quality food, nor are the pricey, however they won't set you back like the more authentic restaurants.
Most Chinese buffets I've eaten in are quality incarnated in my honest WHITE opinion.
So I can't trust your opinion can I?

For the foreseeable future I don't think I'll be able to part with all of the meatbag components just yet.
You have to take these opportunities as and when they present themselves too, plus there is the whole deal where lots of minor surgeries isn't as risky as a straight up brain transplant <_<
Aaaaaand most unfortunate of all is the robophobia most meatbags have (In recognition of their inferiority) so it might make being a shrink rather difficult if I don't have a human face. So it might have to be subtle augmetics for a while there, unless they can do a synthetic version of 'leatherface' which could either be great and nobody would no the difference or would end up with me being sectioned <_<
Personally I would never see myself going full robot. Like the furthest I would go to is the cybernetic enhancement, kinda like Android 18. Imma go beat me some monkeys.
If by beat some monkeys you mean get eaten by a big down syndrome bug man and later spat out and now said monkeys are 10x stronger than you.
Also the best you can get is a bald midget so you settle for him.
You suck.
Hey, you compared yourself to 18. Not me.

Can you blame him? Why would you want to be a meatbag with an expiry date? I'd rather be a rust bucket that can get new parts to fight atrophy.
Well no, but I prefer having some humanity than being a cold automaton. That's why I prefer the cyborg way instead of going full robot.
well why not become a synthetic? Have soft warm tissue on the outside and all the hardware underneath. Like a more human version of the geth.
No, it wouldn't be me. At least with the cyborg I still have my true human side while still having kickass augmentations.
what do you mean it wouldn't be you? Are we personified by our physical attributes or who we are spiritually and mentally? I like to think of our bodies as a vessel for us to be in, like avatars so it wouldn't bother me at all.
It is a vessel, but its MY vessel and I would like to keep it or at least parts of it. And also because of the reasons placed in the edit of my previous post.
i guess. If I got to choose how I appeared as a synthetic I'd feel as much ownership over myself as I do now. I don't think I'd feel like I've been displaced. Have you ever played a game and made your character how you wanted and felt an attachment to it? That's kinda how I'd feel about it. I don't see why you couldn't reproduce with someone else you felt romantically attached to btw. The whole process might be different but the outcome of having an offspring that different and yet the alike to you would still be there.
Where's the fun in that?
