Didn't like anything I saw, including the engine. Hopefully this won't be shit, but I'm not getting my hopes up. At least there's always Mass Effect 2.

Why didn't you like the engine? I mean, disregarding the grayish color cast, it finally has AA, nice depth of field, high res textures, and what looks like a nice drawing distance. What isn't there to like?
YES! :v:Quote:

A lot of the shoulder armor looks weird. Like they took car parts and hydraulic motors and bolted them onto the arms.
This is what I mean with all these permutations killing the iconography of the MJOLNIR armor. It's all a mish-mash of mediocre, instead of a crafted, specific look that is tweaked until it's damn near perfect.
Of course, all of this goes out the window if this is indeed the SIIIs. Since they aren't trained from childhood, they could have had the artifical limbs either before or after attending the augmentations.Quote:

If they are SIIIs, they wouldn't be rocking the same armor as the SIIs of course.
Like I said earlier, I highly doubt bungie would be making TFOR into a game. They don't do those sorts of things. They'll do books/games which expand upon existing media, but they won't reinvent the wheel. You should all consider this before you go off naysaying everything with assumptions.
The SIIIs were meant to be mass produced like ammunition. Thus, they weren't developing armor for a specific set of soldiers who were hand picked from child hood. Instead, they would be using whatever resources (who knows, the SIIIs may even build their own) to build their armor, especially on a huge military planet such as Reach. Hell, all of their armor may be various prototypes for specific SIII subject matter experts (could be hinted at the fact that the LT is a 'lone-wolf').Quote:
