Sweet, one more complaint thread.

What was 343 thinking with the cover of Halo 4? Master Chief is holding his weapon with only one hand and slightly behind him. Come on humanity’s hero, hold that thing at the ready! The whole human race is at stake here!

That’s all, oh yeah, ummmn boltshot

he also looks like he’s getting up off the ground after falling onto the forerunner planet.

kind of hard to do with both hands on your gun trying to look cool for the consumers

or you’re just trolling

I thought it gave the impression that he had just landed from somewhere high or was crouching and about to sprint off.

But hey, better then the completely bland cover they had before.

I’ll follow on: WHY ON EARTH DOES HE ALWAYS HOLD THE ASSAULT RIFLE?

Drives me insane, clearly. Also, if I can change my pose, and my primary weapon, I should definitely be able to change what he holds.

I’m sick to death of seeing the AR in my hands since I never put it there myself.

Not trolling, just poking fun at how ridiculous the “Halo 4 Hate Camp” has become.

In the Halo books it is said that Master Chief prefers Automatics to precision weapons.

Hence why on every Halo game cover we see him on, he wields a Automatic of some kind (With exception given to Halo: CEA)

Halo: CE = Assault Rifle
Halo 2 = Dual SMG’s
Halo 3 = Assault Rifle
Halo 4 = Assault Rifle

The assault rifle is Master Chief’s favorite weapon.

Which does make total sense, for one, it takes a total BA like Master Cheif to use the AR in Halo 3 effectively, and the Cheif doesn’t strike me as the type to use active cammo and DMRing Covi’s across the map.
