Demons vs Furies?

Games Other Halo

I hate to be a downer, I hate to poke at the petty stuff when there are alot of other things Halo 4 has presented that scare me, and I hate to pull the ‘no change’ card after strongly supporting Reach… But I need to express how I feel about what you - 343 are doing with the teams in Halo 4; and I hope I get some form of positive agreement/back up on this…

Team Emblems: This would be cool if you guys bring back(/use it in/for) the Halo 2 clan system and all that- but a generalized Red and Blue Team emblem?

  1. another unnecessary change (meaning you are not fixing something that is broken, just arbitrarily throwing more ‘new/different’ at us)
  2. Not very wise choice in said decision… (Wolves vs Unicorns…? Where dose THAT make sense? Can we at least get something more cool, logical or just generally more HALO)
    3.Halo 2 had a sorta unofficial set of emblems for Red and Blue Team if anyone recalls/noticed. Red bases had Cobra banners whilst Blue had Hawk/Eagle banners… I’d be cool with that making an official return as the team emblems- otherwise you should scrap the dances with Furries and Ponies theme.

Team Names: Red Vs Blue- now Demons vs Furies? Again a seemingly wtf/arbitrary change. Look, no matter how you try to spin it, it’s going to be “I’m on Red Team” Or “Oh crap two Blues on my X”. Now if we are talking race/Species focus (Cog vs Locust, Spartan vs Elites) THEN we will most likely start to ignore our colors over what the hell we are in-game. I appreciate Demons as a little Halo hint-hint-nudge-nudge at what the covenant refereed spartans as, but Furies? Frankly I think most would agree calling Reds Demons is a little cheesy, let alone how just random/not-Halo team Furies sounds…
Again, in the end we are still Red vs Blue in team matches… Don’t try to complicate it with your weird names that have no sensible meaning towards eachother or Halo… Keep it simple, keep it safe- and keep it clean.

I am pretty sure they said the names and all that were placeholders.
I really hope that this is a hint to the Halo 2 clan system.

I wish there were an extra “R” in Furies…the Furries would go ape shiv.

Srsly though, I feel like one team having a Wolf symbol and the other being called Furies is WAY to coincidental. I feel like they are super hinting at Furries on both ends. lol

I see where you’re coming from. I cant see, however, why it’s cool that H2 has generalized emblems and in H4 it’s not (according to you).

Besides, I’m pretty sure it’s some sort of placeholder or something since it was an early build at the time.

Well the thing was it wasn’t really an official thing in H2, it was sorta vaugley suggested (hell it could have been a hint/Easter egg from another game). All I said was IF they had to pick emblems I’d rather it be the suggested ones from H2 since they were both cooler and both made sense to one another. (Bird of prey/aka snake eater vs Venomous Serpent/aka worthy advisary)
