@DecepticonCobra Bungie flew by the seat of their pants with every single Halo game and it shows lol

@VincentGat It’s the same coin in a way with 343. Bungie rushes forward without thinking and 343 is sometimes too cautious about their direct and second guesses. Let’s get some middle ground.

@DecepticonCobra At least I can say the Bungie Halo games were complete sound experiences storywise

@SoullyWholly Excepting, of course, how you need TFoR as a primer for the whole conflict going on in CE.

@DecepticonCobra But then 343 also does shit like "akshually, ALL Spartans are hyper-lethal :)"

@RustyQuarterss I’d says that is a very minor crime than, say, rewriting the entirety of the battle of Reach.

@DecepticonCobra @haruspis I definitely appreciate 343’s take. It just makes the games better.

@DecepticonCobra Reach had me thinking in circles in bungie Era. Thanks 343, it really helped.

@DecepticonCobra It works if you see at FOR as being influences by ONI propaganda. What’s more heroic? A bunch of Spartans giving their lives to try and save the planet? Or Kat getting sniped because she wasn’t wearing her helmet? And the S-IIIs were still heavily redacted at the time of FOR.

@DecepticonCobra Maybe because 343i actually likes the extended lore and thinks of it as cannon.

@DecepticonCobra Thanks 343

@DecepticonCobra Let’s not forget bridging the gaps between CE and Halo 2 and explaining it with “It’s classified” in Halo 2. Or Chief jumping from the Dreadnaught at the start of Halo 3 with zero explanation why after we saw him on it ready to fight his way to Truth in Halo 2’s ending.

@DecepticonCobra Yeah I often think about this. Bungie, why? 😅😂

@DecepticonCobra The one that got to me back in the day was Bungie: ‘the games are our only canon,’ Me: how did Johnson and chief get to earth in H2?,’ Bungie: ‘here’s a book called first strike...,’

@DecepticonCobra @haruspis ...okay so did the PoA have the 20+ S-IIs in the PoA when it was docked at the shipyard waiting for Noble Team? Did they pick them up later? Was them being docked at the shipyards come before or after they left to do RED FLAG? Like... whats going on there.

@DecepticonCobra Once 343 embraced the expanded universe, it made everything more simple. I do enjoy Bungie's way of putting as much lore content into the game as possible through dialogue, reverences, and terminals, but I like that when 343 got on board they're all "yeah that stuff is canon now"

@DecepticonCobra Let's play as Chief again! -surprised Pikachu-

@DecepticonCobra @haruspis Not gonna lie overall. I prefer 343 over bungie
