You all know what im talking about >:)remember the monsters cutscene from halo wars and you got to see some spartan’s kick elite booty? hope you did because it was awesome. They should take that to the next level in halo 4 i want to see master chief at some point just go all out H.A.A.M in a cutscene on some covies or something. What do you guys n gals think? IMO it would be amazing.
That would be cool. With the inclusion of QTEs however, I fear that awesome cut scenes will be ruined by a
“PRESS X ETCETERA ETCETERA”
on the screen.
I want emotional cutscenes.
> I want emotional cutscenes.
i do too but i would like to see at least one action cutscene were chief goes bad -Yoink- and obliterates whoever messed with him. who knows it could be tied in with an emotional cutscene think about it something happens that makes chief snap and go insane.

Franky said they would appear every now and then, i just hope there’s an option to switch that feature off. Otherwise come release there be quite a few fans who aren’t happy at 343.

Ya, those ruin cut scenes, the whole point of them is to lay back and enjoy, not hitting X and then having your character to an action you can’t even control. Completely dumb. Not to mention what if I’m enjoying the cut scene and not paying attention then “die” in the middle of a cut scene because i didn’t grab my controller and mash a button really quickly.
No.
-I don’t want another massive tease like TotS’s opening.
-I don’t want to see main character doing things that aren’t consistent with gameplay.
-I don’t want to see Chief plow through a bunch of Elites. I should be doing that.
H2 did it right. I got to fight the bosses, I got to fight the Cairo bomb room Elites.
Likewise CE gave me more action time.
H3 was annoying (but not as bad as Reach). I wanted to explore and get a look at things but the cutscenes took that from me.
Reach, Reach overused first person cutscenes and over-glorified Noble Team while they were -Yoink- in gameplay.
As for quick time events, those should be limited or they’ll do the same thing first person cutscenes do. First person cutscenes were great at first when introduced in ODST but it gets old doing the same thing every time.
I want cutsenses like in Halo 2. kick -Yoink- dialogue ftw.

There’ll probably be a divide between actual cutscenes and QTEs. As in cutscenes have no QTEs, and QTEs are in gameplay only, so you don’t need to worry about not paying attention during cutscenes.
To OP: I think no one has a problem agreeing that seeing these kinds of cutscenes in Halo 4 would be good. The problem is how they are implemented, and how necessary they are.
Not to mention how much it would fit with Halo. If MC pulled out dual Assault Rifles and flew around with his jetpack shooting up the room it would be kind of surprising, but still okay. If MC Sparta-kicked a Hunter and the Hunter flew 50 meters that would be pushing the line. And if MC pulled something like “The Duel” from Halo Legends (pulling out dual Energy Swords and ripping through an entire Covenant army who somehow manage to miss every single shot), it would be absolutely ridiculous.
EDIT: Oh yeah, regarding the poll options - “Sounds Awesome” and “I can live without them” are NOT mutually exclusive. I chose the “sounds awesome” option, because it DOES, but I can also live without them - I wouldn’t be extremely upset if Halo 4 didn’t have that kind of cutscenes, for example.
I want some really bad -Yoink- first person cut scenes in there. Like what Kat was seeing in the REACH Deliver Hope trailer. That turns to gameplay. I want to witness a huge battle starting to unfold in front of me and then go join the fight. UGH YES!! HALO 444444444444!! lol

Lets just think that button mashing wont be in cutscenes. At least i hope so.
Action cutscenes generally do nothing to carry forward the plot of the game. Cutscenes in games are best used when not used for something completely possible in gameplay, but to drive forward the spot. I personally would not like to see action cutscenes as regardless of how cool they may look, they don’t really have much to offer other than some potentially nice choreography. Like Sliding Ghost said, I too am rather the star of the scene than a spectator.
