First impressions, (not a rant) & questions

The game is… there is something about it, not sure, it may be the voice acting. It seems different, almost awkward. I’m not completely sure, but Cortana seems really loud and obnoxious and embarrassing at times. I can totally hear the Cheif saying, “Cortana, just I would be deeply appreciative if you would refrain from speaking. I’m getting too damn old for this -Yoink-.” -_-

Anyway, next is the grunts, have a look at the panicked running animation, I thought the old one was better. And in the campaign, at one point you are driving a supercharged ghost, and there are like 100 grunts all in a single file line, running in panic… I just don’t see -Yoink- like that happening, halo isn’t supposed to be like collecting coins in sonic.

Also in campaign, on the last level, when you man-cannon across to the different buildings to let Cortana split her personalities. A large platform just materializes out of thin air to catch you. I don’t remember anything like this happening in any other halo game. please let me know if you remember large solid objects just appearing out of thin air, (not un-cloaking) in the previous games.

I am also confused about the disintegration that sometimes happens. It always happens with a knight. But sometimes if I shoot a grunt with a forerunner weapon, they also disintegrate. So is it the forerunner weapons that cause the disintegration? But that cant be true because if I kill a knight with any weapon, it also happens… Maybe the knights have a self-destruct when they die… but the disintegration happens from the spot they get shot so that makes me think the weapon is causing it… Anybody know?

Also can I kill sentinels? When I shoot them they don’t seem to explode, they just disappear in a silent puff of white stuff… But later when they were finished fighting the hunters, they disappeared with that same silent puff of white gas all by themselves, which makes me think they are teleporting away. So when I shoot them they must just be teleporting way before they take too much damage, which means I cant kill them :c

I noticed this too…

I just assumed that 343 was beating us over the head with plot points…

KNIGHTS self destruct form last point shot with ANY gun. Certain Forerunner guns cause didintegration on certain enemies. example:
I disintegrated and elite with a scatershot (frunner shotgun0 and a grunt with the frunner pulse grendade.
I all depends on the gun and enemies.
