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.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] ninjakenzen I started getting that fantasy vibe when Chief met the Librarian. It was all, 'Did I just die and go to Heaven? eeewww whats that? Is that a flying female prophet? ' Then I evolved. I tapped the B button repeatedly to stop the evolution of my lvl 67 Chief but it did nothing. NOTHING. Well he did Armor Lock afterwards, I preceded to RAAAAGE in a false panic that they brought the AA back then I got confused again and continued playing Portal 2 with a hint of Star Wars.[/quote]lol so true!! [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] KaneXX12 [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Sliding Ghost 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.[/quote] Sounds a little to Mario style. And elites are super-strong with shields and diamond hard armor. Don't you think that it should be kept at 2 at least, even for a Minor?[/quote]:/ I guess you have a point. But you have to remember that both Chief and Mario are known for their jumps, not just their power. Chief really lacks jumping capabilities in Halo 4. I can understand Spartan IVs jumping low but it doesn't make sense with Chief. And I disagree. Early on in Halo 4, I think they were going to be made out to be total pushovers (instead of what they are now, making a prominent appearance next to the Knights). Remember that cutscene I've been mentioning about the red Knight tossing the Elite like a ragdoll? That's ample evidence for me.
