Nah I just re-watched it, the MC maybe ducks but the dude in white on the left just stands there and the sword goes right through his leg. Whoops.

That's Frederic. And nah, watch it at 0.25 speed it kinda goes between him an MC, the perspective just makes it look a bit odd. Why nitpick though that cinematic was awesome, so cool to see and hear Fred, Kelly and Linda finally in one of the games, and way more Halo-y than the Osiris intro.

Yeah I said myself it was nitpicking and the Osiris team one I actually dislike where this one is pretty good, just a tiny bit awkward. But this is SA and nerds gonna nitpick, damnit!

yeah I guess the elite sword does miss his leg and its just the camera angle, but that's a bad camera angle then because it makes the perspective confusing. And yeah, the elites are doing exactly what the spartans need them to do, its kinda dumb. They charge towards the hull breach like they've never been in space before, and the one guy just swings his sword in a huge arc that wouldn't hit either of the spartans, just kinda between them. I guess its a windup for the swing on the chief which he ducks, but ... yeah. Its extremely scripted, but oh well. Nothing too bad for sure.

Good feedback.

May thine bonuses be plentiful and thy stock options be bountiful in their spectacularity, as they are as always and as they will be again.

But yeah, that sword swing was awful and the secondary motion on the boots-grip-floor bit was bad.

Were you in a rush that day? Is most of your creative energy going to your moonlight gig for that Taiwanese news channel?

Ah, I shouldn't complain. I'm sure it can and will be patched.

You're putting more thought into it than 343, which is a mistake. The direction with the Blue team intro is obviously "we saw that scene in the new star trek and thought it was sick", replace Star Trek with The Avengers for the Osiris intro and that's all you need to know.

I saw that too, I figured (assuming it's not just a graphical glitch or whatever) that either it's because chief is so hosed up by cortana's death etc that they're shaking, or it's just heat haze from something/vibration from the ship. I dunno.

Probably flutter from the dynamic resolution pushing the game up from 792p up to the dizzying height of 900p and back as soon as there is a shiny bit that needs to get tucked into the ESram.

It's more like Halo blasting Goodbye Horses and admiring itself in the mirror sporting a freshly stitched suit crudely cobbled together from the skin of every other FPS from the last five years. Would you pre-order me? I'd pre-order me. I'd pre-order me so hard.

Hey, man, I distinctly remember this being an episode of Spongebob. :colbert:

I watched Giantbomb's footage (which I assume is very similar, if not identical, to what other news outlets have) and the first half, with Blue Team fighting covenant using classic Halo weaponry and ordering your AI buddies around like in Republic Commando made me go from lukewarm to positively excited.

Then they switched to fighting promethians with promethians weapons and my frown was cartoonish.
