The cutscenes looked great, didn’t they? But they stole all of the fun parts and turned the game into a movie. These cutscenes robbed us of the best moments in the game that made you feel like a Spartan and they shortened the game considerably.
- From fireteam Osiris’ opening scene where they’re fighting down a mountain side and run from a crashing covanent cruiser. Imagine playing that one instead of watching. - Then they kill of Jul Mdama in the next cutscene. I would’ve love to handle that ourselves as he has been one of the bigger bosses they’ve had recently. - Blue Team’s opening would have been a blast to fly through space and avoid asteroids. Then shooting out the window just before entry. That would’ve made you feel like a badass. - Heck, I would’ve enjoyed searching for Cortana’s voice in the dark cave as you chase a faint blue light. - Then you have the forerunner volcano chase scene between Osiris and Blue Team. Imagine jumping from platform to platform as they fall and teleport you. That would be a rush with skill required. Meanwhile trying to stay close to blue team and then escaping after the fight. - Even fighting the Warden Eternal at the very end as he comes at you with 10+ copies of himself before Cortana stops him.I just think some of these awesome moments should have been experienced firsthand and would’ve made a good game have some more memorable moments.
