Thats so wierd, I just discovered him earlier today and watched all his Halo Recap videos and wondered when the 4th one was coming out.
His Halo Recaps are the best.
This video makes me so sad because it reminds me of how much Halo lore and mythos got fucking butchered in such a short campaign. It wasnt even the plot points so much, as it was the little things. The Marines with current-day molle vests (this isnt fucking CoD, where are my Marines with bulky plastic-alloy armor and eye pieces?), master chief going from 7 feet high to fucking 10 feet high in the final cutscene, his armor changing from a badass looking combat suit to something more like a walking gundam, the terribly forced death/emotional scenes, the over-used pre-rendered cutscenes, no references to anything from the previous games (im talking the Arbiter, stuff like that), it was just bad...
Halo ended with 3 in my opinion.
I'm starting to think I'm the only man alive that actually like the Halo 4 campaign :v:
You are.
Halo 4 could've been so much more about the Chief exploring this new alien installation ala Halo CE instead of some weak boss with a shit motive "rawr im a bad guy for no fuckin' reason lol". At least the soundtrack tried something new and succeeded, unlike the entirety of the rest of the fucking game.
Dude, stop staring at me.

The boss existed for literally no reason, and [sp]The game literally ends with a "press X to beat the game" sort of move, no boss battle AT ALL.[/sp]
I just feel a need to bring this up every time we talk about halo 4.
But they butchered the pelican too.
It went from a masculine, durable, and iconic dropship.

To this ugly mix of a hind and a jet fighter. Not to mention they give it these curves to make it look sleek compared to durable.

That pissed me off so much. When I first saw pictures of it, I thought it was a placeholder or a joke or something. I couldn't believe nor accept the change in appearance. The pelican was the sexiest thing ever and I always wanted to physically walk into the cockpit, enter the pilot seat, and fly the thing. Halo 4 let you fly one, but it wasn't the same. That [i]thing[/i] is not a pelican at all; that thing is an abomination straight out of some mech-themed anime. 343n took a steaming wet shit all over its original design. Hell, they took a steaming wet shit all over the entire original artstyle. Everything in Halo 4 looked so un-Halo. They should bring back the old artsyle, if nothing else.
I really want Halo 1-3 to come to pc. Whenever games get handed off to a new team it's just not the same.
The last time this happened I took forever to get over it.

While I almost always agree on the aesthetic points people bring up about Halo 4, this one seems really nit picky.
I mean, sure they made it a bit curvier and whatnot, but it still [I]looks[/I] like a Pelican. I barely noticed the difference in my playthrough.
And I know everyone will butcher me for this but I, for one, liked the new marine armor. It was mostly the color though, I thought white looked good on them.
However, what they did to the Spartan armors can [B]never[/B] be forgiven. Those things are abominations.

It's not just the Pelican they ruined. It's pretty much everything about the UNSC designs:

The marines are the worst. They are extremely generic now. They changed all the designs of things, and none of them are better. Before the UNSC was about straight, flat sections and sharp corners but now it's curved parts and rounded everything for no reason. It makes the stuff they didn't change look completely out of place, even the colours are different. All the retcons and changes 343 made were stupid, i don't think they did anything right with Halo 4 at all.
The Spartan 4's and the fact that they retconned Chief's armour and the armour of all other SPARTAN 2s, to look how Chief does in Halo 4 all along is just as annoying.
Those last couple seconds my god.
Thank you for introducing me to this guy
The chief talks in halo 4 more than he did in halo 1/2/3 combined.

Hey guys, remember Forward Unto Dawn? The Charon Class Frigate? Man Charons were such awesome looking ships!

Look at that sexy mother fucker!
I wonder what 343 will make them look like in Ha-

Oh...
i can't help but think that they entirely missed the point of the UNSC's design. the point is that they're all flat and pointy, and the Covenant are smooth and rounded - that's the central design aspect to literally the entire fucking series, and they totally disregarded it for the sake of anamorphic lens flares. they just went "we need to make everything sleek and iPodish" but they didn't notice that there was already an entire freaking faction that you spent 80% of the game fighting that had that exact bloody aesthetic and aaaaaaahhhhhhh
whoever did these designs was literally retarded

I wouldn't mind the new Forward Unto Dawn design if it was a new class of ship that was made 10 years after the war and not the Forward unto Dawn
Good halo games ended at reach

That new design looks like a gun, its even got a scope and everything
I enjoyed Halo 4. The "Boss" was bullshit, but I enjoyed the game. Heck even 343 admitted they fucked up and have said they hope to redeem themselves with Halo 5.

It looks like a ship version of the fucking railgun with some tacked on stuff

Although I do like the gas cans on the back of the new warthog... a little more color here and there is always nice.
The warthog is near untouched, looks pretty good
The spartans look fucking retarded though, they are so cluttered and weird, its like every piece of skin on their body needed its own separate armour plate, the end result just looks like a man in a black rubber suit fell in a cupboard of pots and pans

But then they stopped fighting the Covies and the Humans were allowed to catch their collective breathe and with the help of Elites I'm sure the Humans could've jumped their weapon and ship technology up a notch.

They could have. But I doubt they would have the ships they have now in 4 years. Honestly most of the UNSC tech felt like it should be around 20 years after Halo 3 not 4.
