Replica soldiers were fucking cool. I don't think human enemies were more satisfying to fight in any other game. The way they look, their fluidity of movement, their guns, radio chatter etc. all made so badass.

I always thought un-hollowed Hollowed Soldiers from Dark Souls would look pretty cool, pretty aesthetic armor, would look a lot sicker without being terribly worn and battered.

IF the movie was anything like the book I would agree with you.
Nothing more aesthetic than power armour covered in nukes and firebombs with a flamethrower and machine gun on each arm.
That movie is genuinely great in its own right, but considering it's an ironic anti-war film essentially taking the piss out of the book, I have to say i'm sad their has never been a faithful film adaptation.

They looked shit. EU Shadowtroopers were always lame and creatively bankrupt, but Deathtroopers were just messy. The Clone-era commandos were storm/clone troopers "elited up" right, looking more imposing and thick set than a regular, but still having a recognizable streamlined silhouette and not having to resort to blacker=eliter hackery. Not to mention they got btfo, so all the pre-release hype was for nothing, much like Phasma.
It all just seemed like such shit, how we were going to see Imperial SEALs in action, but in the end they behave identically to every other stormtrooper and fare just as well, but these one had faulty radios. They should have shot Malbus like a bitch when he suicided but no, have to make them act like retards so the named character can kill a few and look heroic.

NEVER FORGET
Hobgoblins from Shadow of the Demon Lord.
Each hobgoblin is precisely 5'4.5" tall and weighs precisely 166 pounds. They're visually identical too, with paunches they sag to protect their thighs, jowls that hang to their shoulders, and long, pointy noses. All hobgoblins are hermaphrodites, too, so warfare hardly puts a dent in their population. They're excellent smithies as well as soldiers. They have a maximum lifespan of 33 years.
What separates hobgoblins is the frenzy. Whenever a hobgoblin enters combat it goes into an offensive frenzy with a bizarre effect. One hobgoblin might vomit on the nearest entity as it frenzies, while another might blast steam from its ears and nostrils. They consider the frenzy normal and older individuals can control it.

Doyalist: It ends the plot if you can kill the enemies with a button push.
Watsonian: Most of the missions you see in the show are exploration missions, not planned assaults or pure combat missions. The gate isn't left open to transmit the need for an airstrike and it can only be left open for 30mins anyway. Its entirely possible that when they do run proper combat missions they are using missiles more often

That would've been better, but honestly 3 was enough to completely experience both the story and the mechanics. After playing a good amount online in 2 and 3, the gameplay just stopped being interesting for me, and the "community" just stopped being fun or consistent.
Go on to any console shooter lobby in 2017 and nobody even talks anymore. Everyone just stays in private parties and talks to eachother while they all play different games instead of engaging with the people in the game they're currently playing.
And now there's so much story material from the successive campaigns that you just stop caring about the characters. Bungie should've fucked over Microsoft at the last second and cut out the epilogue scene in Halo 3 so that the Chief is dead and Microsoft can't milk the series anymore.
