Bought it, read through it. Interesting stuff... Looks like it'll all be tied up in Issue #6. No Spirit of Fire yet...

  • Thanks a lot for the effort, mate! Apparently when you post the summary, I can redirect the same to a host of different communities who get to read and rant over all the ways 343i screwed up the story.

  • What? You're sharing my summaries to show everyone how bad 343i is?

  • Yea. The response has been good so far. Everybody equally hates what 343i is doing in the comic

  • You are severely misappropriating the the intended use of my summaries. You realize that I sit at the computer screen for an hour or two, going through every single line and frame in the comic book to ensure nothing critical is left out. For -blam!-'s sake. I'm literally giving everyone the damn Issue so no one misses out on the lore, and all you're doing is using it to spread hate? Just screw me...

  • Holy shit you are misinterpreting me here!! I don't use it to 'spread h8'. I only keep others informed of the latest happenings in the Halo EU. Most of them like me can't immediately buy the issues, because of some reasons. We are in a way thanking you for your efforts in spreading the story content. No one is criticising the way you have written the summary. The only problem is with the story itself and the way it is being presented. There are people beyond Bnet and Waypoint who have keenly read most of the media content 343i has published and are greatly upset at the way Schlerf and Co are manhandling simple things in the universe. Also we mostly criticise the general imcompetence and lack of military knowledge 343i is consistently showing in their post Halo 4 media releases. Dont you ever think this is your fault in any way. People don't hate Halo for the sake of it. They are just very very upset about the irresponsible way they are treating the EU.

[quote]Also we mostly criticise the general imcompetence and lack of military knowledge 343i is consistently showing in their post Halo 4 media releases.[/quote]You mean exactly like Bungie in Halo 3 and Reach? The military side of both of those campaigns make no sense whatsoever. I truly feel like people only nitpick at Halo at this level now because it's not Bungie.

  • [quote]Like what?[/quote] Personally speaking, I don't have any major issues with Schlerf's credibility as a writer. But the lack of proper military context serves a bad taste in a well written story. Just because its a comic doesn't mean you disregard important points of military Ops. I'd give some examples. On the first three issues why was there any damn need to have your most important VIPs literally with minimum bodyguard protection end up debating 'goodwill policies and course of actions' on a planet which is unforgiving for comms. Why weren't special intel provided on what might happen if the initial mission goes FUBAR. Why couldn't all three parties choose a more safer approach and meet up on a planet where your backup will arrive within minutes if things go down the drain? - What happened to the contingent of ODSTs aboard Infinity? Why was there no mention of them being deployed on the ground immediately after Lasky patched into the Infinity's comms? - why weren't HOOD and Lasky wearing enough protective clothing to ward off small caliber attacks? - Why was Scruggs when facing off against Palmer portrayed as an imcompetent moron when it comes to fighting a H2H combat as a Spartan? After personally offing Two Elite bodyguards, Two Brute bodyguards, two DAMN Spartan IVs in a matter of minutes or seconds, he just falls so meekly to Palmer? He was an ODST as well!! - Why was the Mjolnir pierced by just a thrown knife? It didn't even look to hit unarmored parts rather it pierced through the gauntlet of the armor. That's a very poor showing for the Gen 2 Mjolnir durability and this stuff happens to be canon now.

  • Again don't misinterpret my gesture as spreading of blatant hate. [quote]You mean exactly like Bungie in Halo 3 and Reach? The military side of both of those campaigns make no sense whatsoever. I truly feel like people only nitpick at Halo at this level now because it's not Bungie.[/quote] It's not that they haven't taken apart Halo 3 and Reach's campaign. Just look up Aratech's review of Halo Reach' on the SpaceBattles forum. He gives in a detailed description of why Bungie was being so inept in constructing a military themed scifi shooter and having tactics worse than what a team of 12 year old can come up with. Yeah he chips in some abuses and swear words in between though. Normally, the forums I post your summaries in, don't differentiate on what or who produced the visual content or games. We mostly fret about how the situation could've been handled better. Like say Palmer acting like a competent officer for once. If she was so tired of hearing Miller's voice, why didn't she assign someone else, someone more proficient to do the job. Again shutting off comms was a very bad move on her part. What if there was an incident and most of the Majestic were killed instantly because they couldn't get vital info being provided by the Infinity? And generally it looks bad on a respected Navy/Military Officer's CV to perhaps have your designated team turn up KIA due to personal preferences getting in the way of a high risk covert Ops.

  • I was doing it in humor. I didn't know you would react negatively to that. Sorry, mate! Also it's 2 am here and I'm kinda buzzed to be dead serious about stuff.

  • It's alright. I'm just extremely bothered when my work ends up fostering hate towards a group of people.

  • You misinterpret irritability for hate. We are irritated that there in no consistent canon showing of things. Or how vaguely things are being shown up and then window dressed to make it seem good. No one is saying 'I aint gon buy Halo'. It's more like 'I'm just tired of this shit by 343i, why don't they stop acting like morons with their EU?'
