i don't think he's being picky, that looks bad. really bad. and it's noticeable in the trailer no-less. are we ignoring things that look blatantly bad now?
Don't worry people will still buy it regardless of aesthetic quality and regardless that its just a generic BTB map. (Which I doubt will have any gimmick or awesome/unique gameplay flow just random map pieces randomly placed.)
I think if the image has to be blown up several times before it becomes apparent then yes, it is being picky Also, I know when I'm in the middle of a match I like to just sit and stare at the textures and contemplate my existence while being killed and t-bagged
that crate is probably the size of a warthog..., the engines even larger for a game that supposedly prides itself in graphic superiority, that sure seems shoddy.
The crate is big, the engines are big, the places that look shoddy are much smaller, made all the more poignant by the fact that you had to blow up each image and circle the areas to pay attention to. I'm not seeing the point in showing it other then for laughs. Yes, it is a graphical oversight. Unless that graphical oversight will distract you every time you play or is impactful in any meaningful way then why should anyone care? Other then for a lol, that's funny moment, it hardly is any reason to harbor any negative feelings toward anything.
All I'm saying is that's quite a visceral reaction to something that shouldn't matter. There's a pelican fused with the ground in Valhalla and I didn't hear any complaints toward that.
because the pelican was crashed, and there were scorch marks/piles of dirt around it to make it believable. here, it just looks like a rock phased into a crate, without so much as a scratch. It is also obvious that it is not supposed to be there.
I'm with SJ on this one. It's right in the middle of the map and it's pretty big. I think it's safe to assume that they didn't film that trailer on the final build though.
C'mon Pac, it looks like ****...just like those maps. No need to defend Halo 4, it's doing fine on its own.
I think the maps are rather generic looking and I'm not "defending" Halo 4. There's a difference in being unimpressed and feeling slighted by the developers because 3 textures seem off. The latter indicating the person pointing it out is angry over other things and is pointing out something that is fairly minor just as a "and look what else I don't like" move. I guess what I'm saying is that if I pointed it out, it would have been more of a "ha, look how stupid this looks" in a humorous way, not in a "I ****ing hate these developers, they are ****, and this shows that they are ****" way since one of those is quite far on the spectrum of understandable reactions
If I bought the LE, do I get all of the map packs for free? I can't remember if they removed that or not.
I enjoy looking at maps :\ those kind of things bother me a lot. also, yes, you should get those with the LE, but who knows?
Fair enough. According to the code everyone who bought LE entered in all the map packs should come free
Actually crappy textures take me out of the immersion while playing. Has to be blown up because of size of image to fit in forum, In game the blown up size is closer to 1:1 scale. It looks crap and its a AAA million dollar game there is no excuse for "Place rock, Place block, oh it looks crap meh it will do" Keeps bringing me back to the question, Why? Why? make this DLC? nothing special about the DLC has dodgy texturing and generic maps(If we had a forgeworld wouldn't even need the DLC for new maps). Why? make Halo 4? there is nothing special about it. Its like there just making stuff for the sake of making it. (Not like Halo 1: OMG lets make this awesome universe,Halo 2: Lets Improve aspect of the game drastically, Halo 3: Lets add forge theater xbox 360, Reach: Lets Add AWESOME! forge that can make maps from scratch, AA's, Loadouts(awesome for customs) improved coding and bunch of stuff.) Halo 4: Lets change some stuff, add some new weapons and stuff bit while simultaneously removing just as much.... awesome game idea.... But we can add generic poor quality DLC later so its all good..... (Why? only thing comes to my head is money.)
