::That was one of the first things I noticed when I watched the video: "war-thog...war-thog." I was annoyed too. I think 343i is getting too buck wild with the armor styles. The protagonist's armor doesn't look militaristic at all. And the bright colors don't make sense because he stands out way too much. I can understand if it's black or olive like you said. Or even a more subdued coloration. Not mp-like. It just seems unrealistic. I like the Kestrel but like Jugus said, its redundant. Its almost like what we said earlier about [[Talk:Type-29 Shadow#Shadow or Tug|343i copying old designs for new designs]]. They might have been better off putting the [[Quad Walker]] in the game instead as it's more unique (albeit ridiculous & impractical). The story sounds like plain-jane Forerunner non-sense w/ a splash of the past. I want to fight some insurrectionist for once. When is that day going to come? Oh, and based off the way they sidelined (& barbequed some of) the S-III's so far, I highly doubt 343i will make the protagonist a S-III from gamma company but more along the lines of a prototype of S-IV. Like everyone else I rather him/her be a S-III but who knows. Whatever the case, I might pick this title up. Be nice to have this game on my laptop since I have win 8.1 w/ touch screen.--'''''[[User:Killamin7|<span style="color:Black; font-family: Arial;">Killamin7</span>]]''''' <small>['''''[[User talk:Killamin7|<font color="Red">Comm</font>]]'''''|'''''[[Special:Contributions/Killamin7|<font color="Black">Files</font>]]''''']</small> 20:46, 16 October 2014 (EDT)

:::I think the bright colour might have been chosen specifically to make it stand out more on the small screen, not that I like it, but then, I'm not a huge fan of some of Noble's colourings, or Majestic running around in bright blue all the time. According to the game's official page; "You are a Spartan IV in this classified ONI simulation of New Mombasa set during the events of Halo 2. Lead UNSC troops through numerous missions and battle against your enemies to save Earth." So basically, we play as an S-IV the entire time but the prologue missions (or possibly all of them) will be done through a simulation. I'm hoping it's a case of the S-IV going into a simulation to experience a mission related to his present day assignment. If the whole story is a simulation I'll lose it.--[[User:Soul reaper|Soul reaper]] ([[User talk:Soul reaper|talk]]) 22:32, 16 October 2014 (EDT)

:I agree with the guys above who say the Kestrel is basically redundant, but my concern is that they're adopting the Mega Blox vehicles as canon. Not for any real canon-violating issues, or because it sets a precedent for anything, but because they contradict the aesthetic that the UNSC embodies in the series - military realism, to counterpoint the more esoteric designs of the Covenant and Forerunners. Wheeled vehicles, ballistic ammunition, chemical rockets versus anti-gravity, directed plasma and lasers. It makes you feel like the underdog, and makes victory more satisfying. The Kestrel is a hovercraft - one using ducted fans, yes, but still a hover craft - and the Quad Walker is a mini-Locust/Scarab. They feel inconsistent with the theme of their ostensible sandbox. -- [[User:Morhek|<b><font color=indigo>Qura 'Morhek</font></b>]] [[w:c:halofanon:user:Specops306|<u><i><font color=blue><sup>The Autocrat</sup></font></i></u>]] [[User talk:Specops306|<u><i><font color=purple><sup>of Morheka</sup></font></i></u>]] 03:05, 17 October 2014 (EDT)
