Is halo in danger of losing it's traditional humor of the series.

I'm new to the forums. So sorry if this is a repeat post.

 

I loved in halo 3 how the grunts would scream funny things, or just do things to make you laugh. Halo 1-3 had a lot of funny moments, and it got to the point where comedy was expected, and Bungie did a really good job creating it in easter eggs and stuff.

 

I am afraid that in halo 4, almost everybody has said that it is going to be more serious, and have a darker tone with Cortana, and Rampancy. Plus the transition from bungie to 343. (I know 343 is made up of die-hard halo fans) but there is still a possibility that the humor of the halo universe has been lost there.

 

Also I was reading in Xbox magazine that grunts will no longer have face masks, but tubes going to their nose. The said that this was because "They wanted you to see their mouth, and they emphasized about it was mostly the teeth that they wanted you to see. He said that it is hard to be scared of a little creature with a shrill voice, yelling that was my friend! and running in circles when you shot its buddy.

 

I pesonally liked that kind of humor in the games and I'm afraid it's not going to e in these new games.

Humor is gonna be a part of it hopefully. Having a mixture of moments in a game is good. Being to serious or trying to hard to be funny can ruin it. I think they will find a good mixture of both.

Hopefully, won't feel the same without a tad of humour.

Tbf, halo had to take a dark and serious side eventually, and, this may be a good chance for it, don't get me wrong, no humor would kill the game, but a dark side will make it better.

I'm sure the marines will keep us entertained. Did you see the conan interview?

 

Im also excited for halo to get dark because the darker it is at the beggining the brighter it will be at the end of the tunnel.

[Mr. Bashful Brute]

I agree. Seems too dark, and serious.

[P-1609]

I seriously hope they're not dead serious.

 

They have said that Grunts will be saying funny quotes in English (Or in Spanish, for me, as I am Mexican, therefore I will by the game here, where It'll be dubbed :C ) And Conan will have an Easter Egg in the Infinity, and he is HILARIOUS!

 

I think 343 is doing an awesome work on Halo 4, and since its made of Die-hard halo fans, as you said, I don't think they will let the funny moments die. Funny moments make Halo up

Dark Comedy, anyone?

 

*duh duh chmm*

I'd prefer a more serious game, I see no need for humor. I get enough of that from the multiplayer!

Bungie pulled a M*A*S*H on us, I'm quite curious if 343i could do the same.
