Hi 343i, Its beyond expectation!
Hi, if you could add at least one thing out of all the things that I’ll ask it would be to had a U-turn Button using the ‘‘Back’’ button by tapping it instead of holding it because it would not show the menus but instead make you do a fast U-turn, with unlimited use, imagine the potential of that simple feature, please put it in there!
First I wanted to say how Awesome Halo 4 is, its beyond my expectations, and it makes me so excited to play that game, from the graphic to the sound to the gameplay to the vehicles to the weapons & AAs, wooooow 343i you made Halo be awesome again.
For the Graphics, Epic as usual, the environment is amazing and the scale of it is superb & beyond my expectations, the sandbox is sweeeeeet, and going from the HUD which is perfectly the way I envision it in my wildest dream, now for the not so great part, after your past the initial suprise of that weird crack open Promethean orange skull face you find them not so tough or menacing and specially with that shell on their back it make them look kind of ridiculous, so please beef them up and it would be nice also to see some details to their mid section ‘‘abs’’ area. And how sweeet it would be to see them be able to kick you quite often when you get too close kind alike the hunters would try to tackle you and beat you to death when you get too close, and it would be freaking awesome if the Prometheans could do assassinations too, that would blow my mind!
One thing I wanted to point out is that the medals in Halo 4 looks sooooooooo Childish like its a bunch of toys medals so please revert back to the Reach Medal logos cause it looks much more better for professionnal & competitive gaming instead of ‘‘Mario Land’’ gameplay or at least make new ones that are more shiny, lethal & dirty because its Halo 4 not Pacman!
On another note, the Elites look super ugly, at least in their facial area, the body is awesome except for the fact that they have darker spots everywhere on their bodies which is not authentic at all and their hands are too thin & disproportionate which means a little too long, the Reach hands were perfect. To go back to Elite Faces, it is too ugly, out of proportions which means too big compared to the rest of the body and too much like a cone, and the eyes are way too close to the jaws, as if they don’t watch out they could eat their own eyes kind of close, they don’t have a face, they have a forehead and weird splited jaws that goes all the way behind their eyes where their ears are which is weird and they don’t have any form of ears which is even weirder, their face should be more like the Reach face and proportions but in the shape of the Arbiter and his Wife face in the ‘‘Halo Legend the Dual’’, that would be a perfect and authentic Elite Face with the retractable hook style tooth at each split jaw end.
And speaking of jaw line, I love what you did with their mouth, its much more authentic with actual teeth that not only look real but stylish and menacing for the male Elites, and I specially love that you seperated the frontal incicives from the other teeth in the split jaws of the upper jaw line and that you had molar teeth to the back end of each split jaw, this is extremely awesome & authentic but all the teeth without exception should have been facing up & down vertically instead of horizontally so that all the teeth & jaw lines could be fonctionnal, I’m talking about the teeth on the splited jaw except of course the retractable hook like tooth at each front end of each split jaw that should remain horizontal, but of course I highly appreciate those levels of details that you put into the game, so keep doing what you do best Kenneth Scott and his team cause its super awesome!
The Grunt are awesome but I just don’t like that huge and out of proportion neck that they have and their head it too big and out of proportion and I super specially love their eyes & Iris with that confuse look that they have kind alike Homer Simpson and their mouth with the ‘‘I wanna bite your head off’’ kind of look, both of them are so authentic and epic. And the Jackals are spot on in every details, wooooow!
Now for the Sound, it is by far the best sounding Halo Game to date, I mean everything sound so authentic & awesome its spectacular. I super love the sound of the Battle Riffle cause its sooo authentic & epic, In my opinion thats exactly how the AR should sound and feel, and the Storm Riffle is trully epic, The Warthog is trully unbeliveable and sound like a real engine that is driving at you to kill you, but I would like a little more sound on that lower register on the same style that it has just to beef it up a little, just like it had a huge modified exhaust, please Tajeen.
And I’m loving the sound of the explosions but I would like a little more reverb of each explosion so that they could last a little longer with a more apparent sounds of particles and dust falling few moments later for a few seconds and I specially love the sound of the turrents its so much more realistic but I would like a little more lethal blast to it and trigger sound kind alike the shot at exactly 24 sec. in the video ‘‘Halo 4 Field Audio Recording’’ and a little like the machine gun at 20 sec. and also please make the Magnum sound more lethal and much less muffled kind alike a beef up Desert Eagle with a lot of low end frequencies and please make the Sniper riffle sound like in the Halo CEA. And one ore thing I love too much the original annoucement of Jeff Steitzer all the way from Halo 3 to see them go so please Tajeen keep them or at least make a mix of them with the new take so that at least I could hear all the original announcements of all the way back to Halo 3 because I cannot forget my ‘’ DDDouble Kill, Trrriple Kill OOOver Kill, Killlltacular, Killing Spreeee and so on’’ its a classic. Keep doing what you do because its amazing Tajeen and his team.
Thanks 343i for reviving Halo!=D
In game history, whenever you kill a vehicle in campaign or firefight, it ALWAYS shows up as a banshee on waypoint game links, whereas on bungie games it was specific per vehicle. Is there any way you can fix this?
