Rex Reiden X Posted June 29, 2012 Report Share Posted June 29, 2012 Ok in the Halo 4 - E3 Gameplay Demo ( ) from 02:15 - 02:20 why does Chief takes soo long to react to somethiong moving behind him? He is a Spartan he is not supposed to react this slow, at least a few miliseconds but not 3 FULL SECONDS. You might think I am over reacting but I want this game to be perfect, I don't want to be let down since all of us are GREAT Halo fans. So this is not how a Spartan would have reacted, especially with "a pindrop in a sandstorm" kind of system. Would someone care to explain?

Drizzy_Dan Posted June 29, 2012 Report Share Posted June 29, 2012 Interesting point you bring up here. I think they made it this way to either show how stealthy the monitor really is, to show how Chief's reaction time has worn over the years, to show that Cortana is not helping his reflexes since she has worn over the years, or for theatrical effect. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SatanicBagels Posted June 29, 2012 Report Share Posted June 29, 2012 Its for theatrical effect. It needed to be dramatic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam91 Posted June 29, 2012 Report Share Posted June 29, 2012 well the cryptum was invisible for the first 2 of those 3 seconds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Did4ct Posted June 29, 2012 Report Share Posted June 29, 2012 And he has probably already had contact with this 'Cryptum' because Cortana calls it a "he" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGoodTomakazi Posted June 29, 2012 Report Share Posted June 29, 2012 Hes been cryo sleeping for a bit. Maybe hes just sleepy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bighungry2x Posted June 29, 2012 Report Share Posted June 29, 2012 Good point, but as said before, it might be just because the "monitor" is stealthy. It is pretty cool that you noticed this though, I never really thought about it until now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaloGamer 7 Posted June 29, 2012 Report Share Posted June 29, 2012 Hmm I just thought about it...maybe its for a little dramatic effect like what Sweatybagels said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorB77 Posted June 29, 2012 Report Share Posted June 29, 2012 The thing us the surface of the thing is hot. He should have felt the heat on his back. Definetly theatrical effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Predalian5 Posted June 30, 2012 Report Share Posted June 30, 2012 Let's see you come out of a 4 Year coma and act like nothing happened, Chief's awesome. But he's still only human. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baby Boo Posted June 30, 2012 Report Share Posted June 30, 2012 Like others said, I think it is just for 'dramatic' effect. You know, the classic slow turn to something that could possibly be about to kick your *** sort of thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VivaLebowski Posted June 30, 2012 Report Share Posted June 30, 2012 All Chief needs is a bottle o' jack and some crystal meth and he'll be right as rain. Or not. I think it was for dramatic effect, as Drizzy said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was for dramatic effect, as Drizzy said. I can see his point of this. If they wanted a dramatic effect what they could have done was this. (In terms of him reacting fast as a Spartan) Screen moves to a side view of chief. He hears something at the back of him and slightly turns head. screen goes to an upper left side view of chief as he swiftly turns and has his gun out. His head slowly looks up as a huge shadow over casts him. Then screen moves to a back view of chief and the huge orb thing before him.

realitykid Posted June 30, 2012 Report Share Posted June 30, 2012 Not exactly.. At his core, he is still human. Sure he has been enhanced and is now a cyborg, but he is still human. That's part of the point to the new trilogy, exploring the Chief's humanity. At least, I think that's what 343 was talking about in one of their videos.

Spectrum Posted June 30, 2012 Report Share Posted June 30, 2012 I think it was probably a combination of being distracted by the very high possibility of being rescued for once, the stealth of the monitor, and the cunning of the chief, so that he could take his enemy by surprise when he thought he didn't detect them.
