Those things are called Man Cannons for a reason.

That poor Marine didn't know what hit him.

Finished the campaign. In lieu of more detailed thoughts, here's an update on what's coming to the game: https://stevivor.com/features/interviews/halo-infinite-campaign-level-select-replay-missions/

I'm stuck at the excavation site. I was locked in a room with an angry Brute and a hammer, and he's kicking my ass from one end of the room to the other. I must have died twenty times in a row, and it's not the first boss battle to do this to me, just the worst. And yet, it was never...

I'd say that the problem with that line is 100% in the execution of Palmer's character. The alpha build of Halo 4 had a different introduction to Palmer, and it works so much better. She jet-packs into the forest with a squad of Spartan IVs to fight the Prometheans, loses her helmet in the...

Most of the writing seems to have been done by a writer that 343i hired out of Marvel's back bench.

I know that at least some of 343i's creative leads are leftists, but that doesn't track here. The rise of woke trash is largely due to corporations deciding to make more of X (Where X is Terminator, Star Wars, some children's cartoon from the eighties, or any other media franchise with a proven...

Yeah. 343i likes to pass off art changes as 'additional, not replacements'. In other words, the Jackals you love and the old model of Warthog are still there, still canon, but these variants also exist. In practice, new art replaces old art, especially when the artstyles are so radically...

Huh. I had an idea for a Warthog variant called the "Razorback", but it was a 6x6 extended chassis. This is something else. It just looks like a beefier Warthog. I'm kind of disappointed. In one of the updates, 343i said that they were looking at something that fits between the Warthog and the...

Someone took the battle rifle sounds from the article and ported them into Halo 5. The result is pure sex for the ears.

I'm late to the party here, but burlap sacks really, really don't look good on Elites. Aside from that... not much. Good to see that the next novel from Troy Denning is going to focus on Castor, Veta, and the Ferrets, because that's what he seems to enjoy writing the most. Also, that's clearly a...

Still haven't opened Renegades yet. I've been busy. =P Strangely enough, I find myself worried the most about the gunplay in Infinite. The weapon sandbox of Halo has always been important to me, ever since I sunk hundreds of hours into playing Halo PC. There was something quintessential about...

Sigh. This means I've got ten days to get Renegades read. In other news, I read Shadows of Reach a few months back and it was... there. It wasn't good, it wasn't bad, it was just there. It was the most there novel in the Halo lineup since The Cole Protocol. If there's one thing that Troy...

Well, that's a disappointment. Understandable though. Between the Wuhan flu and... whatever development problems that Infinite is going through, it needs an extension.

Nope. It's not said when the First Immolation happened, but it happened far enough in the past for another large war to have taken place in the aftermath. The Brutes rediscovered rocketry and radio by the time that the Covenant discovered them. Lol. If that's true, then all it takes for Atriox...

For the first thing, The Brutes had been discovered by the Covenant for less than a generation when Atriox was born. He could have witnessed the changing of Brute society for himself, and not liked the results. He would have had plenty of influences that predated the Covenant. For another...

Huh. The gameplay trailer is greatly improved by a second watch. The pilot isn't quite so grating, and Escharum's speech isn't so cringeworthy. Granted, neither are good, but the demo as a whole is not as bad as I thought. I have my reservations, but I also see some potential.

"I wish that 343i would go back to the old artstyle. They don't have to slavishly copy everything, I just want to see the old stuff return." "It's not enough for the old stuff to return, the art direction has to shift so that everything is less busy, more visually distinct." "Hey, while we're at...
