I've never really liked Keyes' new look. I dunno, seems off to me.

UGH. What the f**k did they do to those Forerunner interiors!? Half of them look Covenant (seriously, one of my favorite shots from the game, when Chief does the rock kick down the deep, dark, anchient pit, will look like he's kicking it into a Covenant fuel refinery now), and they lose all of the atmosphere that made them great. The lighting is just... godawful. It's like 343 just thought that adding as much grooves to the blanker spaces were good. Um. No. It ruins what we know as Forerunner.

When they start ruining the original vibes, then that's where I become a Nazi.

I have those reservations as well, along with the following:
The new look of the Halo ring, completely unnecessary lighting crap around it
Altered POA cutscene (it's supposed to fade into the Halo ring, then pan up to the POA)
The flamboyant green/purple nebulae plastered all over the starfields
The facial animations in the cutscenes (this is where they should have integrated the Reach engine, but they didn't)
WAY off-tone chanting in the remastered soundtrack


But I can't help it.  The remastered textures look so beautiful, and I'll still enjoy the hell out of this game.


And here's some non-recorded footage of POA gameplay:

Another featurette showcasing more new footage:

Don't watch these if you don't want to be spoiled any further.

I know exactly what you mean. Some of the updates, they look fine, but others... It's like they completely forgot what made the Forerunner architecture different from Covenant.

Like Rich pointed out, the Halo ring especially pisses me off.

I have my problems with some of the changes, but hell if that's going to stop me from buying this :laugh:
I just wish it wasn't 2 player only Live Co-op.

I'm certain it's still split-screen as well.
Would be dumb of 343 to take that out.

Yeah, can't say I'm to happy about the new look either. The new look is too busy, while the old one felt more creepy and ancient.

They apparently forgot what distinguished the Forerunners from the Covenant.

Confirmed my fears there, that new music is horrible.
And all these changes to the forerunner architecture are really reminding me of how it looked in the Halo wars cinematics.

At least the new music is optional.

Oh my f**king god, what the f**k did they do to the interior space?!

I just scrolled to Sweeps' post, and I can't believe that I want to rage! He's right! This alone is making me reconsider even getting it.

I haven't heard how the new music sounds, but this is good to read.

To put it simply, I think they got carried away in a few areas.
