Do you think Halo 4 was too much "fantasy"?(SPOILERS)
I feel like Halo 4 felt so different compared to all the previous Halo games was because it wasn't scientifically grounded AT ALL.
Last time Chief flung himself toward a planet, his armor recieved VISUAL damage. Now he just shrugged it off like a punch.
The manipulation of the hardlight technology was a bit TOO far fetched IMO. Light can NEVER be solid, and then later to be able to be manipulated into manacles was just dumb, its only explination was "space magic". And don't get me started on how Cortana was keeping the shield up around MC when the WHOLE SHIP BECAME DEBREE!
Cortana at the point had no power to keep the shield up, NONE. Chief should've thrown the nuke and lept into atmospher like in Halo 3. The impact of the nuke would've detonated it, cause he could punch it and activate it. And it would've made sense.
Everything seen before in Halo made [i]some[/i] scientific sense before, now a lot of it is explained by "space magic". I could not be immersed into this story like I did before, and I'm upset that 343i could reach the bar that Bungie met.

When John first meets Palmer in [i]Infinity[/i], he is only slightly taller than her.

(Pictures for reference: [url=http://i3.minus.com/ibzlkP1kGR2Z5r.jpg]3[/url] & [url=http://i4.minus.com/ipFL9OMJcx2wB.jpg]4[/url]) Palmer is, [url=http://www.halowaypoint.com/en-US/halo4guide]according to 343i's interactive guide[/url], 6'9 feet tall. John is, with armour, 7'2. By the end of Halo 4, he looks like he's grown to about 8 feet.[/quote]Hopefully this will mean the Elites will be pipsqueaks now. The Elite punishment in Halo 4 is not nearly as bad as in Halo 2 (1 hit kill melee, long firing durations) or Reach (dual wielders!) but it's still hell annoying that I lose a chunk of my shield on EASY difficulty from a single melee and get tossed around like a piece of paper by the concussion rifle. It's time for Chief to rise up and be a man. That means running into marines should send them flying, meleeing an Elite minor should instantly kill him, and jumping on a Grunt should crush it.
