So as of right now Halo MCC is being streamed on Twitch. And luckily I found one streamer who was in forge. And come to find out as he went through the different vehicles there was absolutely no Spectre vehicle. Now I am severely disappointed and shocked. I am a BTB forger and it doesn’t matter to me if the spectre was not as good as the warthog or was a weak vehicle, it would have added a much needed diversity to the covenant vehicle set and it was a fundamental vehicle to Halo 2’s sandbox.
And I can honestly say that I would rather have the spectre over the gungoose, you shouldn’t add new vehicles in when you don’t even have the complete original set. C’mon 343
Some of you may argue well that’s not possible because it will obviously be in the campaign. Well if you look at the Campaign weapons and vehicles versus the multiplayer weapons and vehicles they have different looks, and sometimes outright different designs!
Here is an example of the two smg’s:
Halo 2A Multiplayer SMG: http://www.gizorama.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/halo.jpg
Halo 2A Campaign SMG: http://fc08.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2014/160/1/2/halo_2_anniversary_smg_by_aryck_the_one-d7lqup4.png
Another example is the snipers as well, and I just finished watching the streams and that is in fact their final look, not placeholders. So it is very plausible that 343 may have a model for the campaign spectre, but that they have absolutely no model for the Halo 2A Matchmaking/Custom Games/Forge spectre. This is a very big letdown since Matchmaking, Custom Games, and Forge is arguably 3/4 of the Halo 2A package that will contain no spectre at all.
Now before people start saying, stop whining and appreciate what your getting blah blah… I want to set the record straight and say I am very excited for everything else, the terrain pieces for forge are incredible and im sure minigame forgers will have a ball with the new scripting elements. And I am a fan of new warthog model and Heretic Banshee, but it doesn’t excuse leaving out a core vehicle in of Halo 2. The spectre in the Beautiful Halo 2 Anniversary multiplayer was something that I was really, wholeheartedly looking forward to and now I’m left confused as to why 343 would make such a braindead decision.
