Remember guys, this is just a THEORY. I have NO idea whether ANY of this is true.
Anyway, in this thread, I brought up how Halo 4’s combat is somewhat similar to Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow’s Soul System. Offensive souls, support souls, and passive souls.
Thus, after thinking about this some more, I think I’m getting a picture of what 343 wants to do. As we all know, Halo follows the Golden Pyramid of Weapons, Grenades, and Melee for its foundation of its combat. What if 343 is putting that triangle inside another triangle that is built with offense, support, and passive with the golden triangle making up the offensive side?
Here is a rather crude mockup I made in Paint for visual purposes as to how I envision this whole things works.
But then again, I could be totally wrong and be talking complete insanity. In any case, I wanna hear what you guys have to say about this.
