I'll be honest, a significant factor in my purchase was the fact that I hate seeing "???" in the moves lists for characters with classic fatalities. Makes me feel like I'm missing something.
@AuthenticM: the book was actually edited so that the canon of the game and the book fit together.
What, so they republished the book? That's a little weird; retconning a book.
At least they are trying to make a cohesive universe. As much as a hate retconning, I like it better than pretending there are no logical inconsistencies. @TomA said:
The halo 1 pistol is there. Doesn't mean it's as awesome though. Also, he slapped something on the end of it, attachments??? Hopefully not. But I want the arbiter and Sarge to be in the game, so i hope it's just a few months after the third one.
I think the gun came apart when fired, and he was just reattaching the nose. Kind of weird to have a pistol segmented in that way, but that's what it looked like to me. As for bring in old characters, I actually hope they don't do that. The proper Halo arc got it's trilogy, I want to see new stuff. I'm kind of pissed they are even calling it Halo 4 because it implies so much that I think it would be better to leave alone at this point. I doubt they will go that direction, but the positioning creates weird expeditions, and I suspect that there will be a fair amount of uninformed backlash because of it. @Gamer_152 said:
The massive nerd in me is kind of really annoyed that the Mark VI MJOLNIR apparently has rocket boosters now but whatever. As DarkFury said that planet is almost certainly a Shield World, and quite possibly the planet from the end of Halo 3 which fans did hypothesise was a Shield World at the time. This is all speculation but it may be possible that the Shield World is Onyx and that entering it will reunite the Chief with Halsey and the other Spartans who were trapped in the Micro Dyson Sphere in the centre of the planet at the end of Halo: Ghosts of Onyx.
If you play attention you can see other elements of the armor that changed as well, from a visual standpoint at least. Probably the easiest one to notice, other than the new jet pack thing of course, are the shoulder pads. Not a big deal by any means, but annoying considering that there is no real reason for that. Same thing happened between Halo 2 and 3 though, so I guess it's just one of those things you have to put up with.
Frankie O'Connor implied pretty clearly that the planet was the one from the end of Halo 3 (and why wouldn't it be?). The Dyson Sphere seems like a pretty solid theory at this point. It's at least the most obvious way to go. Also, it was nice to see Frankie again.
"Klassic Skins Pack #1" Guess we know where this is going then. Wonder if they will do this for every character eventually. I want backwards hat Styker.
