anyone else think the campaign sucked?

yeah.avi

Not at all. I thought a few improvements could have been made with the AI (commanding them for the love of god Jun stop shooting I'm trying to stealth), but otherwise I was satisfied. They really made the Elites fun enemies again, they're goddamned ferocious, way better than Brutes. Although I still wish the AutoMag was in the game, that was an amazing pistol.

I also really like how they made the SPARTAN-III's out, so they're not unstoppable killing machines like the SPARTAN-II's, and they're less invincible (albeit Noble 6 [SPARTAN-B312]'s record is hilarious, a lot of it is redacted. "Hyper-lethal... Only one other Spartan has ever reached that rank..." was said by Halsey, referring the John-117; Noble 6 is just as dangerous as John). Health system is excellent too.

I especially loved the camera work in this game, absolutely fantastic.

Ghost Rider. Night Rider is David Hasslehoff.

I'm a Halo-Nerd.
Also I hate how people refer to the Master Chief as a puppet or a dumb brute, when he really isn't. The games seem like it because he doesn't talk much, but remember: He's been in service for over 30 years, and a lot of his time has been spent watching his comrades die around him. All of his Spartan friends are dead, he's seen cities vaporized and Reach glassed. His silence is probably due to the hardening process of war. Even disregarding that, he has training in more things than you will ever learn, including quantum physics, slipspace travel, bomb defusing, space flight and alien weapons systems. Even THEN, he's always been a combat prodigy, at 14 years old he killed two hardened ODST soldiers in a boxing match and left two others severely injured (he fought all of them at the same time), and he can even see in slow-motion (brain thinks and reacts twice as fast as a normal human. Saying its all a result of the augmentations is only half-right, because as a child he was renown for combat prowess; which is why Halsey personally chose him.

Halo is so rich in fiction, it's wonderful.

They could still throw in an in-game line or two, like acknowledging the orders he's being given.

I sometimes dream about being kidnapped in the night and conscripted into a Super Soldier Project. :v

Don't forget flying Giant alien space pickles into Covenant cruisers.

Me too

He does, typically. Not in-game for whatever reason, but he's definitely not mute.

Oh and not to mention "HURR DURR HE FOLLOWS ORDERS PUPPET" is stupid in any case. He's in the loving military, if you divert from orders in the military you get court martialed and incarcerated. It should be more impressive that he does occasionally change his directive, but he gets away with it because he's always correct in doing so and because he's such a high loving rank.

[Qwepir]

I've only seen him talk in cutscenes.
wops misread

Yeah I know he's not mute, but he never says anything while you're controlling him, that's what I'm talking about.

Neither does Gordon Freeman, Link, The Saint (SR), or plenty of other games. It's really not an issue when most of his lines only have to do with the cinematic anyway.

Also doesn't he converse with Cortana on the escape from the flood-infected Covenant ship in Halo 3?

I want to learn about Halo. Where did you learn this.

I don't like those games except SR, which I've never played.

I think it was in a cutscene and that was it.

[yuki]

I want to learn about Halo. Where did you learn this.

Mostly from the books (excellent books by the way; The Flood, First Strike, Ghosts of Onyx, The Fall of Reach, with Contact: Harvest being my favorite), but also reading Halopedia.

[Acid]

the books are pretty good.
