Not looking for things to pick apart? What? Like Rasq said, separation of story and gameplay. Besides, humanity had a lot of experimental tech at Reach. It was their prime research base.

There's only so many times you can forgive Bungie for making wrong turns.

Making wrong turns? Maybe they just want their game to be fun for as many people as they can. To most people, space jets blowing shit up is fun. About the AA cannon: not all Covenant weapons/Vehicles were all smooth. Needler much?

Also, considering the gameplay is not at all affected by the aesthetic appearance of vehicles and units, I'm really not sure what sort of balance they would have to work out here.

They want to make the game look nice?

I mean, I liked the beta, a lot even, but maybe I just want a better final product?

Well, it's gone gold, you're fucked, suck it up.


I find it ironic you have a frigate from Halo in your avatar, yet bash the series at every turn. :/

I'd like to point out that jetpacks, known as T-Packs in the Halo-verse, were used both in the FoR novel and GoO novel. So Noc, has a point here.

A lot of the things he is pointing out has to do with the plot mostly...

Fun =/= good story
The Needler was still aesthetically similar to other covenant tech, because of it's bulbous form.

becasue so far he's only really bashed the games, not the universe.
