    A common Trope we see in the first person genre is that of the exploding barrel.. You know the type.. The unmistakable cylindrical design, the red or orange colaration or glowing module and the muscle memory that causes you to fire at it whenever enemies are near.Last week you all voted and the Fusion Coil came out on top so for this week’s mini-evolution (name still a work in progress) we will be taking a look at Halo’s popular exploding barrels.. The Evolution of the Fusion Coil.

  • @Nefnoj
    @Nefnoj Před 2 lety +47

    I have a non-specific recommendation that might fit in your mini evolution series. You've covered characters, items, but what about game mechanics?
    For example, Fire. It's appeared in nearly every game, but only Combat Evolved, 3, and the Halo Wars games capitalize on that, while it's just a prop elsewhere. Or how EMP effects exist in 3, was made an environmental hazard in 2: Anniversary, and evolved very specifically in Infinite. And then there are energy shields on their own merits.
    That's very much a rough generalization of examples, and unlike the others with information in lore, you might want to get information from the game engine's code and modding tools for interesting specifics and data, but it might be a good source of potential videos now that you've done the two main small objects that reoccur through Halo.

Eventually I graduated to making buildings… with the sole intent of rigging them with the aforementioned coils to explode. Thus began a fruitful forge career c:

The Forerunner one is a gorgeous piece of design, it’s so weird and alien looking, I wish 343 kept that design philosophy for all of H4/5’s Forerunner architecture.

    My favorite is Infinite’s coils, you can yeet them around, hold them in a car, and put them in the razorback! Before, you could push them off of a ledge or into a man cannon to send them across the map with a chance to kill some unlucky player, or you could get creative and make land mines for fast moving ground vehicles. Though the previous coils made you use your brain to make traps or ambushes, now you can just throw a coil at the nearest Spartan’s face, funny, yet simple to pull off.
