I like the cinematic physics of the teeny jet-packs working like a charm with little work, but the explosions behind him (which would require air) aren't forcing him into the vacuum of space.
also, am I the only one who could envision that AI he picked up yelling "HEY, LISTEN" repeatedly?

It's a shame you didn't give ODST a try because I think it's one of the best Halo games, after the first one anyway. It tells a more human story in a more human location and there are more layers to the narative than people (including me) initially realise.daemon37 said:
As for the samey locations... it kind of comes with the territory really. It's a game about aliens trying to destroy the universe... so yeah, you'll be shooting aliens in alien structures. I always thought the locations were quite varied and memorable (except for Halo 2) but that's my opinion.
You're right about Halo 2 though, it really didn't add anything and no one would have missed much if they just went straight to playing Halo 3 as far as the story goes. REach was ok... just nothing that hadn't been done before really. It was what we'd come to expect but polished to a fine sheen. The story seemed to lack some of the gusto that it should have had and being part of a group of 6 spartans didn't seem to really feel any more epic than simply being the chief.
I'll be playing Halo 4 but I won't be expecting too much. 343 are esentially just copying a formula by now and I'll be genuinely surprised if they actually come up with anything new. I'm more interested in Bungie's new IP since that is where the real talent is now.
Also, does anyone know if Robert Atkin-Downes and Jen Taylor are reprising their roles? I couldn't really tell from the trailer.
Haha wow, easy to tell you're new here. I'm well aware that it isn't a plot hole, mistake or a matter of myself being more observant than anyone else.Mister Linton said:

Exploring an alien temple or space-ship isn't what bothers me. Its that all the rooms in them look identical, and it is therefore very easy to get lost. This is a mistake committed by many video games and movies. An easy fix this problem is adding in some clutter to make it seem like people actually use these rooms for purposes other than gunfights. I would assume most aliens eat, sleep, play games, etc. For example:Proverbial Jon said:
1) Hallways - benches, posters/tapestries and maybe some sculptures (Aliens need to sit down and have a break sometimes.)
2) Control rooms - MONITOR SCREENS!, keyboards, chairs, coffee cups (How do they control such advanced tech with such minimalistic controls?)
3) Barracks - beds, weapons, closets (I would assume aliens need to sleep sometimes...)
4) Mess hall - food, food prep equipment (They probably eat too...)
5) Recreation rooms - balls, scoreboards, couches, etc. (Everyone likes to play with balls from time to time.)
and most importantly...
6) CRAP ON THE FLOOR/WALLS! - signs, papers, panels, hatches, rocks, wires, etc.
Since they're alien rooms I would expect these objects would look... well alien. But they should be somewhat recognizable and stand out from the background. In summary, aliens have needs too.
That was actually my mistake, I quoted the wrong post, I meant to only quote SD.Vanguard_Ex said:
Bear in mind the people on a message board can't hear you, so the voice in your head that sounds really sarcastic, is thankfully absent for us when we read your posts. You new here or somethin'?
You're actually now trying to be snide with me even after you made the mistake yourself? Wow, well done. That's dedication to arrogance.Mister Linton said:
Yeah, I'm new. 3 years new. Not a scratch on your 3 months.

Hah, I'll admit that was a nice try to flip my exact phrasing back at me. Except, y'know, it doesn't really work since the whole thing started due to your stupid mistake, so...Mister Linton said:
