A “Cosplay of the Wild” D

I really liked the show. It explores the chief and the world of halo that we do not experience in the games. The idea of chief discovering his humanity and compassion after it being stripped away from him to turn him into an emotionless killing machine is really interesting to me. It's nice to see the other aspects of the halo universe only explored in the books like the insurectionist factions and rebels and tyrants. The political constraints and complexities of the unsc is all very similar to what is explored in the books. I really really really like the design of the elites armor. That being said I only have two gripes The Spartans armors still look like cumbersome cosplay to me instead of functional mjolnir. They look difficult to move in and when using a rifle it breaks the illusion for me that they are what they are portrayed to be. The Spartans are pretty over powered when they should have weaker shields than the covenant. They absolutely mow down any opposition and have no real danger of harm. I would like if the Spartans use a combination of tactics and equipment utilizing cover and concealment, flash bangs, shield trainers, flares, smoke grenades etc to get the job done. Let their spartan training shine rather than jumping around and brawling.

I found this game pretty frustrating. You literally have little time to learn patterns and your margin of error for survivability due to a mistake in your movements is extremely small. I found myself wanting to throw this game in the trash than wanting to play it ever again and I love metroid. Edit: I really wanted to enjoy this game but dying 30 times in a row in a boss fight is not fun. I don't like the high amount of damage done when you get hit so you have to make as little mistakes as you can which is dumb. I don't like being forced into quick time events either. Returning this game TODAY.
