@Shadow1980:
Armor: There's some (weak) explanation right at the beginning. To be honest, the changes didn't hurt me at all. I think the new design was better. :-x
The Dawn: That was a miss. They used the wrong model.
Grunts: If there's an actual miss it is the breathing mask. I know people have been discussing the position of the toes as well as other things.
Jackals: Yes, the head changed. Though the body basically remained the same. Halo Reach already had som alterations, explaining that with subspecies and i think afterwards the Halo 4 jackals wher declared as a subspecies as well.
Last time i played Halo/Halo 2:
Halo Anniversary: last year
Halo CE: four years ago (just to be honest)
Halo 2 Anniversary: a bit over a month ago
Halo 2: last year
Halo CE had a decent story for it's time. THough being honest it wasn't that much of a story. Most of the time it left the player wondering what it's all about and experiencing. The latter one isn't a bad thing though. Many games tend to do to much with cinematics today instead of interactive experience when it comes to the story.
At that point Bungies storytelling was more or less like the industry standards, no offense.
Halo 2 well, i like it's basic storyline. Fanatism, a religious civil war breaking out and a lot of other things. At the same time it basically started to fall flat of the Halo lore. Could have told about the UN having become a militaristic regime which it is in Halo. And lots of other things. Other companies already managed to tell lesser stories in a better way.
At the same time Bungie already had moved from an experience to a told story.
Basically no other Bungie Halo had that Halo CE approach. All relied more on cutscenes and cinematics.
Finally QTE: I think that QTE are a bad design as a whole. But some are just terrible like that Resident Evil stuff, while others aren't hurting me much. The latter ones being of the Halo 4 kind.
I clearly understand that there is a fraction that doesn't like what 343 did at all. I just don't share that position.
