An entire alien language. Not just warblgarlblarrgh or reversed English. * Music that breaks away entirely from the heroic, ancient and galaxy-saving superhuman theme; and much more focussed on the death and loss on a dying planet in a lost war.[/quote]-they were only despised in MP I believe -I hated those and yet they didn't occur as often as they do in Halo 4 -Was so stale -The Package was mercifully short compared to that wretched ONI Base -it was a good start. Much better than Halo 4's space battle -it's too bad Noble Team didn't make any remark at all about the Spec Ops Elite who drops one... -too bad there was no skipping it -I guess it was amusing to be killed by a stuck Moa. But the Guta was abomination. Not nearly as interesting as it should have been. I'm not even sure if Halo 4 still has that manta ray creature seen in the E3 demo -I wasn't afraid of anything besides Grunts, Jackals, Elite Minors, Majors, and dual wielding Elites. Reach really made the mooks dangerous while making dual wielders extremely cheap and annoying -IIRC 343 said that the H4 Covies would sound similar to English but now they, particularly the Elites, sound closer to Japanese... -at least there weren't any lyrics or looping music. Halo 4 has both. Music often sounds unfitting in that game [Edited on 12.02.2012 8:12 AM PST]
