Where they want wrong was with the models taking on a more solid look. Should have kept the transparency that allowed the models to not take in any environment lighting and just glow on their own.
By Wesleyshark Go To PostI would imagine that h5 Cortana will look more or less the same as h4 Cortana.
Um, did u finish h4 braj?
By Stinkles Go To PostUm, did u finish h4 braj?We already know she's coming back in some capacity (if only as a hallucination). GI let that cat out of the bag, remember? :P
Anyway: I like H4 Cortana the most, but that's at least partially because I really liked her story in that one. Otherwise... H4>H2>HCE>H2A>H3.
Is there anything H3 did right? No.
Also, don't you hate it when you study all night for a test the next day, only to find out that you do not, in fact, have a test at all?
Coulda been playing Halo...
By Stinkles Go To PostUm, did u finish h4 braj?
Yes haha. I should say Cortana's ghost in h5, mang :)

I remember when a group of my friends named cortana's model in halo 4 the "suburban mom bod"
Then I remembered that cortana is made to basically be a clone of halsey, then I thought about someone hitting on halsey with little 11 year old spartan II's and III's watching and them all freaking out yelling "moooooom".

Cortana is just another character in a long line of "was this really necessary", and god that ending was so awkward. If I was an AI trying to be a human I'd be constructing rad clothes for myself all of the time, not chillin' naked.

Roland is a douche. I didn't warm to him at all. Like Palmer, but more disappointing as AI should be cool.

Pretty sure Jen Taylor did the facial capture along with all of her dialogue, I would assume anyway.

Has the comic con panel been posted? I was reading somewhere that comic con was starting a VoD paid service and was worried they'd hold this back due to that. I hope we get access to it soon.

By Fata1moose Go To PostYeah Roland wasn't very likable at all, I find his voice grating.He had some good sarcastic lines related to button pushing in SpOps.

I completely agree with this. I personally like the overall look of H2 the best. I thoroughly enjoyed the more crisp visual of her in H4, and appreciated the more human mannerisms, but There were four things that kept H4 Cortana's design from really just knocking it out of the park for me.
1) Transparency (as listed above)
2) Body data flow (I don't recall it being there, or else it was much less prominent)
3) Hair (again, this is one of the big aspects of H2's Cortana I prefer)
4) Teeth (as mentioned a page or two back), seemed almost as if there were a gap in her teeth
Still, the character development of her was definitely pushed to new heights in H4, so props there...even if they (temporarily?) killed her off.
By daedalius Go To PostPretty sure Jen Taylor did the facial capture along with all of her dialogue, I would assume anyway.No - in Halo 4 Cortana was facial and motion captured by Mackenzie Mason. Jen Taylor did the voice acting obvs. It's possible that Jen did some facial capturing as well, but I think the bulk of it was Mackenzie.
I'm doing the legendary speed running achievements for MCC and the amount of times I have to replay missions because it doesn't register is pretty annoying. I re-played Silent Cartographer 4-5 times before it finally recongnized my par-time, Metropolis took me 3 tires and I just finished the Oracle and it didn't register my time. I'll give it a little while to see if it uploads, sometimes it takes a while, but I'm still baffled shit like this isn't fixed. Strange they were adding achievements when so much of the game didn't work.
By NOKYARD Go To PostHe had some good sarcastic lines related to button pushing in SpOps.The solo legendary run in Spartan Ops is making me hate everything about Spartan Ops, if only I got that achievement when it was glitched.
By NOKYARD Go To PostHe had some good sarcastic lines related to button pushing in SpOps.I know he did have some snarky dialogue but I can't remember any of it for the life of me.
Only actual memory I have of Roland his him getting toyed with by Halsey. Still, I can't say I dislike the guy. If nothing else his outfit is pretty great.
By Mix Go To Postlol how so? It would be interesting to see what you mean.The system they have set up really only works with the roles and positions they have now. I approached Chris to offer my services. Any Halo fan can see that what Chris is trying to do is a good thing for the community, it's just not being executed properly. So he gladly accepted (I was able to contact him because he made an excursion to Bungie.net and was met with zealous backlash).
Chris and Zach (heads of Halo Follower) were really passionate about what I was trying to do. I clearly explained to them that I know they have a system set up and I don't want to go in and disrupt that. Chris is a really cool guy; very nice. And Zach was the most ambitious. He said he would get me an entire team to accomplish what I had suggested. Which was to have content focused on story flow through me, so I could check the content/scripts for lore inconsistencies or errors.
Things were going great. I just needed to wait for Zach to go through with what he said in order to get properly incorporated into the work flow. Zach eventually went dark for whatever reason, and as I waited, Chris forgot who I was or what my role at Halo Follower was supposed to be. Zach came back online after a few months, so I messaged him back to ask about the status of my position/team
He never got back to me.
So I faded away from the team and was forgotten.
Sounds sort of depressing, but I don't mind. It's their loss really. I just wish Halo Follower could live up to its potential rather than being a monument to all our sins.

Jen Taylor originally wasn't going to be 343's Cortana voice. She was only brought in near the end of development when they realised changing the main character's unique and identifiable voices was a huge mistake.
Just imagine the hubris of changing both Cortana and the Chief's voices in the games.

By Poodlestrike Go To PostOnly actual memory I have of Roland his him getting toyed with by Halsey. Still, I can't say I dislike the guy. If nothing else his outfit is pretty great.Roland is a very near likeness of Wing Commander Roland Beaumont as he was in WW2.

That would have been really jarring, indeed. I'm glad they didn't- Jen Taylor is irreplaceable.

By Storm Go To PostRoland is a very near likeness of Wing Commander Roland Beaumont as he was in WW2.Yeah, I can see it.
I think 343 went overboard with the whole "owning Halo" by changing every single asset. That's the same reason why Steitzer's voice has been drastically changed, all medals replaced, sound effects for everything redone. Nevermind all the silly stuff with Chief's appearance and the various Covenant alien re-designs - the backpedalling of (shown in the comics) which hasn't gone far enough since we are stuck with the terrible H4 designs in H5 again.
Heck, Steitzer has been removed from a significant portion of multiplayer now thanks to Warzone.

Poor Cortana, thanks for the mammories. Chief might have said that to her once.

That would've been amomgst the highest levels of bullshit imaginable if true. What's the point in "owning" it if everyone hates it? I'm just happy they seem to be on the right track towards fixing their mistakes.

Tired request/argument time:
Now bring back the original Grunts and Jackals please. You can keep the new ones but have them fight alongside each other ffs. If you want to expand the universe with a larger variety of sub species then you need to show them with each other, otherwise you're just effectively replacing things from the perspective of the player.
By YouNoMeDawg Go To PostIs this true?
First I'm hearing of it, but 343 was so ass backwards with 4, I also wouldn't be surprised.
We just got through something with Admiral proving that we have the original grunts. They're just higher fidelity now.
By Tsumiya Go To PostDid many not like Rolland? I Thought he was well done.He just didn't have much presence in general, honestly. I liked what was there, though.
I think it's that for some people, association with Spartan Ops taints him permanently. Fortunately, I was clever enough to skip all the gameplay bits and just watch the (excellent) cutscenes, so my impressions were more positive.

That is understandable. For me spartan ops gave a little more story after halo 4 and more halo lore always interests me so I guess going through it wasnt as bad for me since I was so eager to know where things would go with the story.
By GringoSuave89 Go To PostFirst I'm hearing of it, but 343 was so ass backwards with 4, I also wouldn't be surprised.
There's an IGN podcast interview with Steve Downes where he says they were considering not bringing them back, and then another Gamezone interview later where he elaborates on the why of it.
Short story shorter: he implies that some people working on the game were apparently not convinced that the actors could tackle the changes/expansions to their characterizations. Having played the game, I think it was some of the writing that missed the mark, though. Steve and Jen seemed fine.
By -Ryn Go To PostTired request/argument time:The h5 grunts are the exact same as the hce grunts, save for their gas masks being through their nostrils only instead of their nostrils and mouths. Same grunts, higher level of detail.

Same grunts, higher level of detail.We got through a debate proving that their skin was originally tough instead of an exoskeleton. That does not change the fact that their proportions and body structure are much different. The Grunts ass being one of the most obvious examples.
