Probably be around $50 up here.

Is anyone else bugged by the colorful nebulae they added?


I'm more than happy with them fixing Chief's helmet, but this stuff needs to go as well.  It will look odd after watching the final cutscene in Reach and then starting where you left off and seeing this blue and purple crap everywhere. 

I am too, now that you mention it.

People seem to forget that secondary characters have had plenty of exposure in the Halo Universe.

Of the 12 games and books, Chief only features as the main character in 6 of them and thats including the novel 'The Flood' which is just a rehash of CE. People seem to overlook this because Chief is hands down the most memorable character, and in the games at least the new characters are bland stereotypes.

And again, that's in the books, which most people (myself included) have not read. I want to see the games, the primary storytelling medium of this franchise, go in new directions.

Chief - 1,2,3

Everyone else - Reach, ODST, Wars

Chief isn't necessary for a good halo game, Cortana is.

Really? ODST didn't have her, and that was my favorite game ever. She wasn't in Wars either, and I liked that game. And she didn't even have any lines in Reach, which I also really liked.

By the way, welcome to the site!

Sup.
Firstly ODST was shiiit, not even cortana coulda saved that,
Halo Wars was a novelty,
and don't even get me started on Reach.

Just think back to Halo 3, campaign seemed empty till chief busted in and rescued his woman.
Shes a well developed character and shes smokin' mmmm.

[Nightmare Asylum]

She is well developed, and one of my favorite characters, but she's not necessary in every single game.

And ODST...How divisions not like it? That was without a doubt my favorite in the series.

Firefight had no lasting appeal.
The Campaign lacked a decent mid-range headshot weapon.
The plot was boring.
The characters where stereotypes.
And it was just too easy.

[Nightmare Asylum]

I loved the story in ODST, and found the characters to be cool as well.

And that music

Granted the music was the only redeeming feature

Okay... Not really sure what you're trying to tell me, other than Chief has been in 3 of the games... (4 if you count the Reach cameo.)

The games aren't all about Chief.

Three games have gone in different directions, one even into a different game style.

Three games that make me die a little inside

So you basically only like the ones with Chief/Cortana?

The other three do a great job at expanding on the universe and venturing out into new gameplay styles.
