Pros/Cons from the gameplay reveal

PROS

  • Classic art style - Equipment - Toned down movement - Flow of combat - HUD - Music - Elites doing the ‘‘Aaargh!’’ again - Leg shots to destabilize enemies - Throwable fusion coilsCONS

  • The yellow hexagon damage indicators - Hairless brutes - Would like to see some with fur to add a little variety. - Pantless Grunts - Edit: Grunts never wore pants. It just looked off with their bright skin color. - Bad lighting and textures - This is most likely going to be improved before release. - Generic/boring designs for new UNSC weapons - No dual-wielding - Might be one of those ‘‘upgrades’’ but I wouldn’t hold my breath. - No blood decals - Phantom animation - Hitmarkers - Too much of those Minecraft blocks/pillars thingies - I know there’s a lore reason behind it, but it ruins the look of the environment.

Agreed.

Someone mentioned how the Phantom looks like it’s on a guide wire and now I can’t unsee that. How hard is it to make a realistic flight path?

The lighting and textures should be fixed though. They already look better in the 1 minute trailer.

This “Minecraft” like pillars definitely destroyed the authentic look and made it seem off… like a forge build. :confused:
