You know, I think I would really like hazop if its visor didn't make it look like a depressed Triclops. Remove the pointless third eye and make it less downward-curved, and it would be a pretty nice helmet. Guess EOD's close enough. I just liked the little slit-visor from Reach.
Is nobody else drawing attention to the visor that is [i]literally just a downward line?[/i] How the fuck are you supposed to [i]see[/i] out of that thing?

[QUOTE=G3rman;38216334]Have you given any thought to what you think is the visor is not the only way to project surroundings to the user?[/QUOTE] Yes, but I'd honestly prefer a visor over a set of cameras or whatever you'd need to see out of that. It just seems downright impractical.

Other universes have explored other possibilities, I don't see any reason why Halo can't at least add a few of their own.

So I was playing Halo wars because why the fuck not. I absolutely love the difficulty hike from Heroric to Legendary
[QUOTE=ROFLBURGER;38217350]So I was playing Halo wars because why the fuck not. I absolutely love the difficulty hike from Heroric to Legendary[/QUOTE] Of all the Halo games, I wish Halo Wars had gotten a PC port. I just can't play RTS games with a controller.
I always just assumed Hunters from 3 onwards always had an Stream/Projectile blast duo.
Uh, I just went to the Halo Wars article on Wikipedia and something very strange happened. A page about Halo 4 came up with possibly major spoilers. That kinda sucked.

Honestly I find something to like in all the armor. Actually, the one with the vertical visor was really neat when i first saw it. I dunno. I don't really think of impracticality, mainly because your vision isn't affected in-game anyways. I guess from a lore standpoint I see what you mean but other than that they mostly look cool to me. Of course there are a few I find just not good looking for one reason or another but personally, most of them are really cool. It could just be that I'm looking through these with my own type of imagination. I've been known to come up with things that are basically impractical but cool-looking nontheless. [editline]28th October 2012[/editline] Also, fuck yes, IE on Xbox with a keyboard is pretty fuckin awesome

It looks very predatory-bird like to me, so I could see it being an intentional design to strike fear into the enemies. I'd imagine the actual visual field would come from cameras.
Are there any brutes in Halo 4? There are gravity hammers, but I have yet to see their unique weapons such as the mauler, Spiker, and Brute shot. [editline]28th October 2012[/editline] Also one of the achievements for Halo 4 is named "Give Him the Stick" Could this be a reference to "Give her the dick?"

It's for killing a Hunter with a plasma grenade I think

[QUOTE=Jurikuer;38204744]Okay guys I'm watching Halo legends right now and I just finished the Episode with Spartan 1337. And what the flying fuck just happened!? Was that a serious episode? Should I take anything that happened there seriously? Because it felt like a rip off of dragonball z for crying out loud![/QUOTE] That's because it was produced by a few people who did Dragonball Z :v:

And no its already been mentioned hundreds of times its non-canon.

Casually walking not giving a fuck about all the needle rounds would have been equally as badass though.
You know what I don't get? The Halo that was shown off in Halo 4's new trailer has the same design as the ones from Halo 1-3 and Reach. Why doesn't it have the same design as the one from Halo: Anniversary?

Are there any pre-launch game reviews that contain no spoilers? [editline]28th October 2012[/editline] [url]http://www.se7ensins.com/forums/threads/halo-4-review-spoiler-safe.799119/[/url] [quote]IMO: Halo 2>Halo 3>Halo>Halo 4>Halo:ODST>Halo Wars>Viva Pinta>Halo:Reach[/quote] Discuss.
I liked Reach a lot. [editline]29th October 2012[/editline] It was different, but it was Halo, and I loved it.
