Youtube recently pushed this guy onto my homepage, his channel was called tavelgoose or something similar, only two videos both about halo, generic video essay if being honest; I remember somewhat agreeing with what he said in both videos, but I couldn't help but laugh at how he overanalyzed certain minor aspects of ce, things like jumping being floaty, strafing sideways, its momentum and acceleration, and how the slow melee animation for the halo magnum were some kind of genious masterful important and meticulously planned mechanics or some crap like that, I don't doubt that there were people at Bungie who cared about this shit, but I don't think these detail were really anyone's priority while the game was in development.
There were other subjective statements about Halo 2 and Bungie's design philosophy i'm not entirely sure about:
like halo being lightmood and parodic in its tone as a whole, halo art style being minimalistic at its core (It is, but there are exceptions) when he claimed the arbiter being a character with a more defined personality and opposing interests to mc was against halo's plot formula (he even argued it was a good thing said character never fights humans in-game nor there were any mention on his previous actions on humanity to avoid outraging the player blah, blah...).
Halo fans are sometimes quite autistic about "Bungie's laws and vision" but bungie itself often ignored those (golden triangle, silent self insert main character, slow enemy projectiles, predictable and easily readable enemies...) and they often subverted them with no explanatiin whatsoever (dual wuelding, halo 3 odst characters speaking in game, post halo 2 sandbox, halo ce combat forms faking their deaths...).
