343i's rendition of Forerunners?

i was wondering what people who were major bungie fans, and know like every piece of knowledge about the halo universe think about 343i rendition of the Forerunners/Prometheans. i think they look cool but once again. i havent read too many of the book or went on adventures through the interwebz to find out all there is to know about halo... im not sure how close they are to how they are supposed to be. so whats your guys thoughts on them?

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] BubbaBishop021 [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] flamedude I was expecting something.... more. They are so massive I was expecting a rare opponent that is a true challenge for a Spartan, something akin to a Scarab but in the form of a 12 foot warrior.[/quote] Wanted to say that while ya, that is a way of seeing it, maybe that is the role War Sphinxes will play later on, with them being a large heavy hitting vehicle that nukes objects with ridiculous firepower and having mobility and armor to back it up. And yes, according to canon, your War Sphinx does have to power to nuke a continent (well actually, It's probably something more elegant than a nuke, but it has similar destruction capabilities), but it will be dumbed down if put in the games. EG: Scarabs are supposed to be able to destroy an entire city with minimal effort, but I can kill the one on the Ark with a chopper and a sticky. And the dual Scarabs I killed with a Scorpion and two stickies. not exactly city stopping power when a guy in armor that doesn't protect him from small arms can take you down easy. [/quote] It will be dumbed down for gameplay, if the Sphinxes are in, but the canonical abilities of the weapon will still stand with gameplay not being canon. Like how small arms actually [i]are[/i] useless against MJLONIR, but in game they aren't.
