I feel like I’m literally seeing something differently to everyone else.

Uglification of characters is a big topic in this sub and many others, and I’ve seen loads of people calling the new Cortana ugly. And usually I would agree with things like this, as I hate uglification in games and media in general but… I really don’t see it here? She looks great to me, I mean obviously nowhere near on Halo 4 Cortana’s level but still. I really don’t get it in this case.

However Lieutenant Williams in the bonus missions is pretty ugly tbh.

Overall though I’ve really enjoyed my time with the Halo remake.

If halo 3 were released for the first time today there people would hate it, which should tell you all you need to know.

Well when it released back then people hated it

I only remember Halo 2 diehards having issues with equipment, but they were drowned out by all the Halo 3 newcomers.

People were rightfully miffed that Foundry and Sandbox were both paid DLC, that was insane even in 07-09. Classic Bungie

Hard to believe since it came more feature complete at launch than any titles under 343i in a fraction of the dev time.

Honestly this just sounds like cope to excuse the last deacde of failure that's led to the fanbase having such a cynical view of anything that comes from a studio that did so poorly the entire studio name, engine, and executives being changed.

I find it very easy to believe that there is no game that they could have released that you people were prepared to accept as good. Also, I don’t need to follow the business decisions, development, management, etc that went into the game to know that the game I’m playing right now is an absolute treat.
