"Feasible" neural physics

versed helm Jan 31, 2020, 5:21 AM

#

I mean dude

#

since their concept of the soul is based around, well, higher-dimensional space permeating all that is, becoming so low in density to manifest the physical realm

#

it does have a scientific explanation

#

web

#

or at least, model

#

Use more understandable phrasing

#

I've got literally no idea what you just said

#

And it's unlikely to be that complex given the pseudo-scientific nature of the notion

#

What does density have to do with the soul

#

think of the "panpsychism" philosophy followed as a rule of thumb for the Precursors, The Forerunners and "The Domain", or even "The Force" from star wars

#

Right, following that.

#

That is the semi-"plausible" basis for neural physics

#

it denotes that the more purified, original state of consciousness for all beings is of a higher and higher frequency, before leading to non-physicality where all becomes essentially a homogeneous form of existence

#

an analogy could be, particles coming from solid, to liquid, to gas

#

getting higher and higher until it's not really perceivable to our physical senses (like a dog whistle)

#

there are many layers to this interpretation, but it can only make "sense" if there is a form of limitation, or "soul", for perception of the world around us

#

Well, when you put it like that, I guess it doesn't really matter.

#

and our physical tissue and DNA behaves as an energetic databank for consciousness, which can be expressed with certain latent abilities (which is where the "intuitive" feelings that John gets come from)

#

Y'know what

#

I think we've jumped the shark here

terse lava Jan 31, 2020, 5:29 AM

#

That was quite some time back

versed helm Jan 31, 2020, 5:29 AM

#

I mean I just came to the realization that considering that we have no idea what consciousness is IRL

gilded mason Jan 31, 2020, 5:29 AM

#

Heh

versed helm Jan 31, 2020, 5:29 AM

#

It doesn't really matter if Halo, like, has its own explanation for that

#

Yeah, well it's ought to get way overboard when you ask how souls interplay among it all

#

As long as it doesn't really effect the modern era in a tangible way

terse lava Jan 31, 2020, 5:30 AM

#

Not sure it would matter much

versed helm Jan 31, 2020, 5:30 AM

#

What it comes down to is that I don't really buy the notion that when an infection form burrows into a host and overcomes their nervous system

gilded mason Jan 31, 2020, 5:30 AM

#

Ghost Johnson is gonna save the day from the Created in Infinite.

versed helm Jan 31, 2020, 5:30 AM

#

It's doing some crazy neural physics stuff and subverting the host's very soul

#

It just seems a bit whacky for Halo

#

We have our whackiness

#

it's in the Greg Bear era

#

It should not extend too far out of that

#

because it's the easiest way of sublimating their minds, through physical touch

#

I feel like the Flood should be xenomorph-like with a hint of Cthulu

#

Not like

#

Full-Cthulu

#

If you pick up what I'm putting down

terse lava Jan 31, 2020, 5:31 AM

#

Either way that's what happens to an infected host

versed helm Jan 31, 2020, 5:32 AM

#

Predominately biological processes

#

Though much is made on this page about "neural structures"

#

https://www.halopedia.org/Neural_physics

#

I think their structure/heirachy of infection should progressively become more and more nonphysical, the more they advance from their "feral" stage

#

My understanding is that neural physics is essentially a deeper understanding of neurological processes

#

Which ultimately allows you to replicate life in unconventional forms, such as creating effectively a living structure

#

The human method of creating smart AIs effectively bypasses that understanding with an algorithmic replication of neural structures

#

Are you referring to multicellular organisms? Biosynthesis?

#

No

#

Just... matter that can retain a consciousness, I guess

#

how would you imagine that happening?

#

By replicating the neural systems of a conscious being

#

It's like

#

Hm, well that can only be done from understanding what consciousness is

#

Well, yeah.

#

And I think the most basic tenet of neural physics is understanding that

#

which can't be done by looking strictly at neurology

#

Well

#

The whole "neural" bit seems to disagree with you there

#

In the context of Halo

#

How so

#

Well, "neural physics". The name would seem to imply that it is a concept which relates to the physics of neurology.

#

Of course it's origin is revolved around the neural nature, but it's not so much like they are physically carrying around the neruons that the body produces and studying them

#

Which, at a guess, probably pertain to the quantum fundamentals of consciousness?

#

in a way, sure

#

you can interpret it as that, why not

#

Like you'd have to get down to the real nitty gritty and explain the quantum phenomena of how inert matter can... chain itself to this nonlinear "observer" entity to create a conscious being

#

And that's at the core of what neural physics appears to be

#

Think of this: if the universe is infinite, then it's beyond the boundaries of what we call "time", "this", "that", ect. You would need something as a motivator to give such things definition

#

the nature of what's the motivator for neurons to travel around the brain in the first place is needed to understand, not the biological vehicle itself

#

hence "neural physics"

#

I think a major aspect of accepting neural physics would be viewing neurology as not fundamentally tied with biology.

#

mmhm

#

I might leave it at that lol, I don't want to blow a fuse XD

#

Oh, I did just get what you meant with that last one though

#

As in, neural entities provide a frame for the universe to exist in a comprehensible way.

#

Mm. The Forerunner monastery shed a little light to this concept in Retribution, how time was becoming far less understandable as Ash's experience was feeling more and more.. ubiquitous?

#

feeling more at one with everything around him

#

The end result here

#

For the soldier on the ground with an MA5

#

Is that there is brain stuff

#

And when the Flood get ahold of brain stuff, they get smarter

#

When a Halo ring fires it kills brain stuff

#

And when the Flood get enough brain stuff weird things begin to happen

#

And Precursors can also do weird things with brain stuff

#

But luckily they're gone

#

One of the things they can do is make buildings out of brain stuff

#

Well, yeah - as I put it before, the physical can provide a databank for their neural physics

#

Also

#

If the Flood get ahold of your brain stuff

#

Things gon' get freaky

#

And nobody can really un-frag your situation unless someone blows you out of existence or fires a Halo at you

#

or the synchronicity

#

lol

#

before that happens..

#

I suppose that's why the flood preferred to infect living entities over corpses - they harnessed an extra "mind" over simply taking a physical vessel

#

I've long held that the Flood's primary resource is "mind"

#

It stands to reason that as long as it has access to energy, the FSC could self-replicate

#

But what the FSC cannot replicate is "mind", which the Flood needs to get smarter, which it needs to do to spread effectively

#

Well.. then there are the pure forms

#

how they quadruple their physical mass in mere seconds

#

they have to be grasping a non-physical energy source, there isn't really another way

#

it's similar to a real-world physical analogue of firewood: you can gather the charcoal from a 2 pound block of wood, and the remains will be much lighter than what would be expected in a purely solid-gas exchange

#

For instance burning half a pound of wood to charcoal residue, there isn't going to be half a pound of soot, would there? I mean, that would fill up the entire room just for one block, which doesn't happen obviously

terse lava Jan 31, 2020, 6:09 AM

#

Pretty interesting topic

versed helm Jan 31, 2020, 6:10 AM

#

My assumption would be that pure forms appear to alter their mass, but are actually changing density

#

so, chemical transmutation?

#

or just stretching their bodies outwards, which sounds a little strange for making a tank form

#

Seems to be the most grounded conclusion.

#

heh.. ground

#

It could seem a little strange

#

But those ranger forms are tough

#

And resilience is not necessarily a property of density

#

Perhaps FSC can be rendered into a kind of... storage state

#

not always

#

Waiting to be used

#

yes, energy storage

#

like the forerunner DNA templates

#

you're understanding what I'm saying without realising lol

#

Well, I was more thinking that it's not the energy being stored but just the actual FSC. The FSC can take many forms - muscle, rigid plating, goo - and I felt as if one of those forms could be a substance which is designed to squeeze the most mass into the smallest possible surface area.

#

But your idea is probably more sensible.

#

Yes, well that would just raise the density

#

brb

terse lava Jan 31, 2020, 6:25 AM

#

Why cant we have topics like this more often

versed helm Jan 31, 2020, 6:34 AM

#

I haven't been here for a while, so I don't know what's been the heat of the news

#

I think that's a phrase

#

So I just decided to talk about the most mind-melting topic possible XD

#

@terse lava The thought just came to mind: What do you think.. of a Sangheili..

#

Wizard..?

#

hahaha

terse lava Jan 31, 2020, 6:43 AM

#

What do I think of the sangheili?

gilded mason Jan 31, 2020, 6:44 AM

#

No. Of a Sangheili wizard

terse lava Jan 31, 2020, 6:45 AM

#

...."your wizard Ostral"

gilded mason Jan 31, 2020, 6:47 AM

#

~~I'm a what?~~ Sweet. Time to do some magic.

versed helm Jan 31, 2020, 6:48 AM

#

I think it just fits their aesthetics well

#

it would look cool as hell

terse lava Jan 31, 2020, 6:48 AM

#

See them as more a knight and the grunts as wizards

gilded mason Jan 31, 2020, 6:49 AM

#

Grunts as wizards? I don't see it. Though I do see Sangheili more as maybe Fighters.

terse lava Jan 31, 2020, 6:50 AM

#

Ok fine

#

Grunts get to be bards

gilded mason Jan 31, 2020, 6:50 AM

#

"And he bravely ran away. When danger rears its ugly head, he bravely turned and fled.."

versed helm Jan 31, 2020, 6:52 AM

#

Grunts could work as Dwarves or something like it

#

maybe

gilded mason Jan 31, 2020, 6:53 AM

#

"And he bravely ran away. When danger rears its ugly head, he bravely turned and fled.."```
Truly a song that exemplifies Orta.

versed helm Jan 31, 2020, 6:53 AM

#

they're pretty savy, too

#

Brutes are already Uruk-Hai, so no tinkering needed for that

#

But there being somewhat of a specialist Sangheili with robes and a sceptre, would look pretty cool

#

they would also breath fire

terse lava Jan 31, 2020, 6:56 AM

has the UNSC Airforce logo/emblem ever been shown?

jade axle Jan 31, 2020, 10:46 AM

#

I don't think so. Most of the ones on the internet are fan-made ones rather than actual canon. There are ones for the space corps and the army, but not the air force.

wicked rampart Jan 31, 2020, 11:38 AM

Are Spartans infertile from all of the augmentations?

true shadow Jan 31, 2020, 11:44 AM

#

I don’t know if they’re infertile but I do know that their sexdrives are heavily repressed due to augmentations

#

Spartan IIs and possibly IIIs that is

meager owl Jan 31, 2020, 11:47 AM

#

but still, can we explain the child kidnapping thing the unsc used to do?

true shadow Jan 31, 2020, 11:50 AM

#

It was ONI who kidnaped the spartan IIs. Halsey had found that for the augmentation process to have the fullest and most desirable effect that the Spartans needed to be selected from a younger age pool due most likely to prepubescents and how it alters the body as humans get older

#

At least that’s what I’ve learnt and been told countless times

carmine sleet Jan 31, 2020, 11:55 AM

#

@wicked rampart They are not infertile. Randal had a daughter in Halo Nightfall

meager owl Jan 31, 2020, 1:05 PM

#

ok

wait, that's ilegal

#

tell me more about armor

Yeah I think the suit has a renal filtration system, so they don’t even need to use the restroom - if I remember correctly

true shadow Jan 31, 2020, 1:58 PM

#

Mjolnir Mk.VII uses a catheter in the words of Naomi 010 I think

#

It can be assumed the same goes for the previous iterations of Mjolnir but there’s no saying really

Spartans are fertile, but they have no desire to start a family, well except for Maria 062.

#

There’s no “space corps” huswil

For now

quiet umbra Jan 31, 2020, 5:19 PM

#

Mjolnir 7 feels like a writing oversight

#

only 1 character in the entire canon wears it

fair hazel Jan 31, 2020, 5:20 PM

#

Only one that we know of. I didn’t see the logic in calling it a writing oversight.

quiet umbra Jan 31, 2020, 5:21 PM

fair hazel Jan 31, 2020, 5:21 PM

#

It does.

quiet umbra Jan 31, 2020, 5:21 PM

#

then why is that the only time we hear about it and it looks almost identical to MK.VB

#

it should be a big deal but it's not

fair hazel Jan 31, 2020, 5:22 PM

#

It’s not. It’s mentioned in halo 5 and even the spartan field manual

#

The decimator armour is based on it.

#

A new generation of Armour came out.

carmine sleet Jan 31, 2020, 5:24 PM

#

Sometimes gear is used in a very limited capacity. Just look at the XBR55, that has only been used in Contact Harvest yet it doesn't feel like an odd choice

fair hazel Jan 31, 2020, 5:25 PM

#

And that feeling you’re having seems to be a personal one.

quiet umbra Jan 31, 2020, 5:28 PM

#

just feels like if they had a new mjolnir model they would've upgraded more than one character that we know of to it

#

what? Cairo station had Mark VI armor laying around for Chief to upgrade to but not Mark VII?

humble yacht Jan 31, 2020, 5:29 PM

#

Mark vii wasn’t around during halo 2

#

Chief’s Mark vi armor was brought to Cairo specifically for Chief

quiet umbra Jan 31, 2020, 5:29 PM

#

it was a prototype but so was 6 at that point

carmine sleet Jan 31, 2020, 5:33 PM

#

The Mark VI wasn't a prototype

#

If I recall, all of the members of Blue Team that made it back to Earth were given Mark VI

#

Plus, we already know what prototype Mark VI was, it was Mjolnir BLACK, which was used exclusively by Black Team (Unless there was someone else who used Mjolnir BLACK)

quiet umbra Jan 31, 2020, 5:40 PM

#

isn't it cited as prototype in Reach

carmine sleet Jan 31, 2020, 5:41 PM

#

The helmet seen in Reach is a prototype, not the suit Chief wears in Halo 2 to Halo 4

versed helm Jan 31, 2020, 5:47 PM

#

is the Mark VI in reach Mjolnir BLACK?

quiet umbra Jan 31, 2020, 5:53 PM

#

possibly but I don't think it even existed when Reach was made

#

post hoc lore maybe

carmine sleet Jan 31, 2020, 5:58 PM

#

Mjolnir BLACK was used from at least the summer of 2552. Halo Reach takes place in August to September of 2552

versed helm Jan 31, 2020, 6:27 PM

#

July as well

versed helm Jan 31, 2020, 7:15 PM

#

I mean you know how it is

#

You're fielding testing Mark V

#

Might as well simultaneously test Mark VI

#

Honestly, the only thing you can say for sure about MJOLNIR is that it's contrived

#

That's what you should tell people when they ask about it

#

The development of MJOLNIR is canonically convoluted, contrived and complicated.

#

Mark IV only became a title because ONI got sick of Halsey's nonsense and tried to reign in it. But it didn't help.

quiet umbra Jan 31, 2020, 9:26 PM

#

Sounds like Halsey just created a bunch of designs of varying quality and durability at the outset and their nomenclatures were mostly retroactive

#

like Mark V, VI, and perhaps even VII were all more or less created simultaneously

#

their numbered naming structure coming later

carmine sleet Jan 31, 2020, 9:35 PM

#

Mark V, VI and VII weren't all created simultaneously

#

"feedback from this version will be factored into the final design" or something like that

#

it's in armor customization just boot up Reach

hasty locust Jan 31, 2020, 10:54 PM

#

I can confirm this as truth juice

carmine sleet Jan 31, 2020, 10:54 PM

#

It's specifically referring to the helmet shown in Reach, not all Mark VI armour that we see

quiet umbra Jan 31, 2020, 10:55 PM

#

I said the Mark VI helmet is stated to be a prototype in Reach

#

maybe there is a final version already existing I mean there sonly like 3 months between Reach and Halo 2

#

but the one Noble 6 can wear is only a prototype thats rigged to run with his Mark V armor

#

shrugs

#

I've never heard that one way or another

#

I mean half the helmets in Reach are Mark IV variants (grenadier, CQC)

#

so uhh yeah maybe

#

Grenadier is 100% stated to be a MK.IV variant in the aforemention armor descriptions

#

and CQB was designed as an evolution of CQC for Mark V

#

which kinda indirectly implied CQC was designed prior to Mark V

#

because MK.V circa Halo Reach is like, pretty brand-new

versed helm Jan 31, 2020, 11:00 PM

#

Closer to the end of its lifecycle than the beginning, actually.

quiet umbra Jan 31, 2020, 11:00 PM

#

and also they only specify that it was designed for MK.V as a feature for the updated CQB

versed helm Jan 31, 2020, 11:00 PM

#

It got issued first in 2551

quiet umbra Jan 31, 2020, 11:02 PM

#

https://halo.fandom.com/wiki/Mjolnir_Powered_Assault_Armor/Mark_IV this also says EVA was a Mark IV. variant

#

I didn't know that one but makes sense

#

one of the first things you'd want to perfect in a war against the covenant is space combat design

gilded mason Jan 31, 2020, 11:03 PM

#

And Blue Team was wearing MK V during that
Nah

quiet umbra Jan 31, 2020, 11:03 PM

#

I'd imagine EVA was one of the very first helmets actually

#

Summa deep space incident was probably toward the beginning of the war

#

Security armor is weird imo because why would you even want a spartan team to run security

#

maybe it was an upscaling of an existing design

#

I mean I know it's a marathon reference

#

but in-canon why tho

I think he means with the introduction of geas

versed helm Feb 1, 2020, 1:11 AM

#

It's possible that countless races got screwed over by the Forerunners other than humanity and the san'shyuum

hasty locust Feb 1, 2020, 1:11 AM

#

Like didn’t the precursors create for example, humans, not apes that became humans

terse lava Feb 1, 2020, 1:12 AM

#

Well we know many were wipes out before the war with humanity

#

It seems to be implies that precursors either uplifted existing races, or crafted them and let them so their own thing

versed helm Feb 1, 2020, 1:13 AM

#

So did the Precursors create the Covenant races as well?

terse lava Feb 1, 2020, 1:14 AM

#

Assumed they made all races in the galaxy

#

But maybe not

hasty locust Feb 1, 2020, 1:15 AM

#

Probably did

versed helm Feb 1, 2020, 1:16 AM

Which makes me wonder,how do the Precursors test which races are worthy of the Mantle?,like what is the criteria?

terse lava Feb 1, 2020, 1:16 AM

Who knows

All good

#

So what other Forerunners cared around humanity other than the Librarian and Bornstellar?

terse lava Feb 1, 2020, 1:21 AM

Lifeworkers

Warrior servants directly after the war with humanity. Felt wiping them out too severe

So that wolf-faced planet that we see in Primordium,will we ever visit it again?

Doubt it

Where in the galaxy is that planet?

What about that planetoid that Yprin and her team discovered the Primordial?

Nope, no reason for that

Charrum Hakkor would be more likly to pop up

Wait,who even placed the Primoridial in that planetoid?

Likely ancient forerunners

What is the difference between primordials and precursors

hasty locust Feb 1, 2020, 1:41 AM

Primordial is one singular dood I thought

He was

hasty locust Feb 1, 2020, 1:41 AM

#

Yeah wasn’t he like the last one or something

terse lava Feb 1, 2020, 1:41 AM

#

Primordial was just one of two names forerunners and ancient humans gave the being, the other being Timless One

hasty locust Feb 1, 2020, 1:42 AM

#

Yes

tawdry nexus Feb 1, 2020, 1:42 AM

#

Ah I see

hasty locust Feb 1, 2020, 1:42 AM

#

Didn’t the primordial brain stuff become the gravemind?

terse lava Feb 1, 2020, 1:42 AM

#

His mind was transferred to the largest gravemind yes

hasty locust Feb 1, 2020, 1:43 AM

#

And all the graveminds have the same memory and brain stuff, right?

terse lava Feb 1, 2020, 1:43 AM

#

Yes

hasty locust Feb 1, 2020, 1:43 AM

#

So the gravemind in 3 is sort of the primordial in a sense

terse lava Feb 1, 2020, 1:43 AM

#

It is the primordial

tawdry nexus Feb 1, 2020, 1:43 AM

#

So was the primordial killed with the firing of the halo rings

hasty locust Feb 1, 2020, 1:43 AM

#

Nope

terse lava Feb 1, 2020, 1:43 AM

#

No only the body

The mind survived

tawdry nexus Feb 1, 2020, 1:44 AM

You can’t kill his mind

I am simply saying hidden wouldn't be able to add much detail on the precursor forerunner war

terse lava Feb 1, 2020, 2:26 AM

#

Wonder if the covenant encountered other races who worshipped the forerunners

noble fjord Feb 1, 2020, 4:21 AM

#

Today someone asked me a question that... I have no real idea how to answer so I'll extend it to you guys

#

"Do you think a Spartan-II could pilot a Jaeger from Pacific Rim solo?"

#

In case you didn't watch Pacific Rim. The Jaeger's use a two pilot control system since one pilot cannot handle the neural load that the Jaeger's system puts on the brain

versed helm Feb 1, 2020, 4:24 AM

#

There's no way to answer that.

terse lava Feb 1, 2020, 4:26 AM

#

A rather odd question

noble fjord Feb 1, 2020, 4:29 AM

#

I have rather odd friends

versed helm Feb 1, 2020, 4:32 AM

#

I guess if you wanted to make it so they could

#

You could say that their neural interfaces are sufficiently advanced to bypass the technicalities of the Pacific Rim universe

terse lava Feb 1, 2020, 4:33 AM

#

That's really the best I can think too

noble fjord Feb 1, 2020, 4:33 AM

#

same but honestly I don't even get how the Pacific rim universe has that tech -

terse lava Feb 1, 2020, 4:33 AM

#

A forerunner warrior servant easily could, but someone like the chief? I don't know

noble fjord Feb 1, 2020, 4:34 AM

#

What are the limits of the human mind is the question basically.

Since it's been shown solo piloting a Jaeger is only possible for short times without permanent damage or death

terse lava Feb 1, 2020, 4:41 AM

#

Cant really answer that here with the two different universes. One had humans needing partners for a mech, the other has a race that has god-like powers

rigid current Feb 1, 2020, 5:24 AM

So is

Halsey supposed to be a bad guy in Spartan Ops? Because I found myself agreeing with her. They didn't tell her jackshit and still expected her to fix whatever was going on

Halsey supposed to be a bad guy in Spartan Ops?
Not really

I really want to see him and Chief become more friendly. It looked like they were getting a bit of camaraderie before Chief was taken and when he rescued them

lavish vapor Feb 1, 2020, 12:24 PM

#

Late but, honestly all of Osiris team could be killed of screen and I’d only be upset that bucks not alive anymore but let’s be honest, buck died with the line “I figure if god can hear how afraid I am so can everyone else”

carmine sleet Feb 1, 2020, 12:25 PM

#

How does that line "kill" Buck?

lavish vapor Feb 1, 2020, 12:36 PM

#

It’s nonsensical, stupid, and completely destroys any illusion that this is the smooth ODST we survived new Mombasa with.

#

It may be Castles voice and face but thats not my helljumper

#

It’s like someone wanted to have buck say “I’m not afraid of anything” but had to try and sound badass and it just fell on its face

carmine sleet Feb 1, 2020, 12:39 PM

#

He didn't exactly seem to be the "smoothest" in ODST. Not to mention, quite a few years had passed between ODST and 5. People change over the years, he had one of his closest friends betray him, lost another and two more retired between ODST and 5

lavish vapor Feb 1, 2020, 12:39 PM

#

And that made his dialogue clunky and dumb?

#

Not the character change I’d expect.

carmine sleet Feb 1, 2020, 12:40 PM

#

The line he said doesn't imply he isn't afraid of anything, it's him saying that he does have worries internally, but he isn't externalising them as they would get in the way of completing the mission

lavish vapor Feb 1, 2020, 12:41 PM

#

That’s the exact opposite of what he said. If god knows his level of fear (which an omnipotent being would), and so can everyone else, that means he is in fact externalizing it, because everyone else “can hear it”

#

The implication being that since he doesn’t say it for them to hear, he isn’t.

carmine sleet Feb 1, 2020, 12:43 PM

#

You're missing the fact he used the words "if" and "so can everyone". If a god could hear his fear, that would mean everyone else could too. Clearly, they can't as he doesn't come off as scared in how he delivers the line

lavish vapor Feb 1, 2020, 12:43 PM

#

.... Exactly?

#

What am I missing?

carmine sleet Feb 1, 2020, 12:46 PM

#

He's internalising his fear, which, like what I said earlier, if he externalising it, could get in the way of completing the mission they were on. Going after a VIP like Halsey isn't like a standard Spartan Op. She quite literally next to Jul 'Mdama, the head of a Covenant splinter group that had caused allot of issues for the UNSC. Messing up an op like that would be far worse than other ops

lavish vapor Feb 1, 2020, 12:48 PM

#

No. He is not internalizing it. The word “If” does not change the fact that Buck has put everyones knowledge of how scared he is on par with a being that knows everything. The team knows if he is scared, which as you stated he is not displaying any signs of. He is literally saying, “I’m not hiding how I feel from everyone”

#

Do you see this? The fact that I have to explain the line at all is exactly why it’s moronic.

#

The line was meant to instill a sense of confidence about him and his team, exemplified by how in the following cutscene him and Osiris cut through an entire army of Jul and Promethean forces like a hot knife through butter, it was effortless for them.

wicked rampart Feb 1, 2020, 2:12 PM

#

Idk i kinda liked Locke

#

I hope they don’t just write off that whole story line. He waxed Jul ‘Mdama in like a second, dude is a beast

lavish vapor Feb 1, 2020, 2:13 PM

#

I enjoyed him in nightfall, as convoluted as it was.

wicked rampart Feb 1, 2020, 2:13 PM

#

Plus Mike Colter is just a cool dude

lavish vapor Feb 1, 2020, 2:15 PM

#

Jul dying in a second really just upsets me, like this guy is the new big bad of the covenant, and he died in a poorly choreographed cutscene. Imagine if instead of 100 identical boss battles we got one unique one thrown in where we take down Jul.

#

Poor Sangheili, it’s unfortunate that someone tied invisible weights to all their limbs.

wicked rampart Feb 1, 2020, 2:27 PM

#

Or because Locke is epic gamer guy

lavish vapor Feb 1, 2020, 2:52 PM

#

Why did they turn elites into brutes 2.0? I miss the sleek agile sangheili.

carmine sleet Feb 1, 2020, 2:54 PM

#

The Elites aren't Brutes

lavish vapor Feb 1, 2020, 3:07 PM

#

They’re bulky* and awkward, have deeper voices than most brutes, and don’t seem nearly as honor bound in the 343 lore. Sangheili were distinct from the jiralhane in that they were an agile, more graceful, regal even counterpart to the savage literal brutishness of the brutes. Now the elites are just reptilian brutes.

#

With less eating their allies.

terse lava Feb 1, 2020, 3:20 PM

#

A main reason I would say is that

Not all sangheili are properly honor bound. We see this with Ripa in halo wars 1.
A good chunk of Jul's guys were from a backwater colony that had been out of contact for a year.

unique rune Feb 1, 2020, 3:20 PM

#

I don’t recall any particular examples of Bungie lore that depicted Sangheili as especially honor-bound... There was a bit about Thel in The Cole Protocol but other than that I don’t think anything sticks out since Bungie material generally didn’t seem to go in depth on Sangheili.

carmine sleet Feb 1, 2020, 3:21 PM

#

Maybe with how Rtas behaves in Halo 2 when it comes to his troops but even then, that's just him caring about those under his command

unique rune Feb 1, 2020, 3:22 PM

#

343 lore has been covering a wider variety of Sangheili... in a more flexible post-War environment where they don’t necessarily adhere to tradition.

carmine sleet Feb 1, 2020, 3:23 PM

#

Aye, indeed. Honestly, seems like people forget that the Elites aren't a hivemind and are all sentient beings

versed helm Feb 1, 2020, 3:24 PM

#

I'm still pissed on how Halo 5 did Jul dirty like that

terse lava Feb 1, 2020, 3:25 PM

Was unfortunate

deep pewter Feb 1, 2020, 3:28 PM

The “Elites are just brutes!” nonsense that perpetuates a lot of 343i complaints is just annoying and the furthest from the truth

Especially highlighted in h5 campaign cutscenes.

if 343 wanted to make the elites so much like brutes, why didnt they just include both elites and brutes in their respective styles

if 343 has done anything right, its graphics

they looked better in 4 to me

lasky's face had such high detail

Something I have wondered since the forerunner trilogy and books since then. Forerunner cities could last millions of years. Forerunners were capable of crafting robotic bodies to put either artificial or organic minds in. Their armor kept them alive indefinitely as far we know. Didntn they pretty much have biological immortality already?

hasty locust Feb 2, 2020, 2:51 AM

#

Sounded like it

versed helm Feb 2, 2020, 2:54 AM

What was the human Life span during the ancient era?

#

Well, wasn't the whole thing about transferring consciousness ultimately a failure?

#

Like, they couldn't put their organic minds into an artificial body while retaining the identity of the individual.

#

Or at least they couldn't compose an individual and return them to a biological state.

#

Oh, that's right, Spark.

#

I guess it's just bio --> composed --> bio that was the no-go.

Yea, or at the very least forerunners sought immortality

versed helm Feb 2, 2020, 2:58 AM

Ghosts of Onyx is YA?
