[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] GrandmasterNinja 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] You honestly cannot say "at all" for the two situations you provided simply because [b]you[/b] didn't understand Them. Chiefs armor was messed up from his time on the dreadnought in which he was attack by six hunter pairs and a brute captain. Which were the causes from all the visual armor damage that we saw not his fall. NOBLE 6 didn't receive any visual damage from free fall and he didn't have anything shielding him like chief did (the forerunner door). Excuse me, did i miss the part where humanity was advanced enough to determine what can and cannot happen? Just because we don't have the current science to do it does not mean it can not or has not be done before. nearly everything we have to day was said to be "impossible" in the past. Bungie was not perfect with halo and i wish people would stop riding them as if they were. The messed up by saying the covenant used plasma and then said it was some "arcane plasma" which pretty much translation into what you call "space magic". They have repeatedly messed up with the colony numbers and populations, humanity's poor weaponry,the PoA's quick arrival at 04,changing the covenant's fighting style specifically for humanity, not to mention the poor story plots for halo 3 and reach. Obviously you have been "immersed in this story" since you are just now complaining about trivial things yet i have not seen you in here once before about what i have said above or anything else.
