Thx, they were really close in visuals, and both were modified

#

Like, they were not the base armor

frank copper
#

Jun is one of the luckiest characters in the series

#

Dude survived Reach

#

last of his team

thin elk
#

Exactly

#

BTW, when the Primordial talks about humans, it is like it is Primordial's wish, or it is just telling some inevitable consequence of the forerunner-flood war?
Just place it here if anybody knows

heady void
#

who is the primordial? is that separate from the didact?

thin elk
#

who is the primordial? is that separate from the didact?
@heady void The Primordial is also named the Captive

#

From the Forerunner trilogy

heady void
#

did mass effect just rip off halo? ancient enemy that is a threat to all life is a threat once again? Reapers=flood? Bioware explain

thin elk
#

Don't think so, despite of some similarities and probably a bit of inspiration. Did you notice that the ship from Halo Anniversary looks like a reaper?

heady void
#

you look like a reaper

thin elk
#

Do I?

heady void
#

yea but u can "reap" my "galaxy" anyday

thin elk
#

Oh my forerunner(omg)

heady void
#

yo how many warnings do i get lmao

thin elk
#

IDK, I'm new here

heady void
#

u wanna get high and talk about the halo effect

thin elk
#

and still think that the ship from that terminal is the biggest mistery

heady void
#

which ship

thin elk
#

The one that crashed in installation 04 with no survivors

limpid kernel
#

What did i just read

heady void
#

poetry

thin elk
#

What did i just read
@limpid kernel I'm as confused as u

heady void
#

when does master chief die

limpid kernel
#

Right now.
Runs Chief into the water

frank copper
#

What are the Guardians, and why does The Warden look at Cortana as waifu

thin elk
#

What are the Guardians, and why does The Warden look at Cortana as waifu
@frank copper Guardians are as peace keepers as spartans acting against the human rebellion

heady void
#

is ur profile pic from halo legends

thin elk
#

Yes, it is

limpid kernel
#

Yeah, my pic is from legends

lethal comet
#

Actually, just noticed the Visual Guide says he wore a modified Mark IV. So ¯_(ツ)_/¯
called it

heady void
#

pepehands asking for a friend

limpid kernel
#

No, he's into arbiter

frank copper
#

I forget Chief has hair

#

I see him as a old white bald guy currently

heady void
#

I just dont even want to imagine Chiefs face, his helmet is iconic enough for me

limpid kernel
#

He has Nice wavy brown hair and a handsome face as seen in halo 2

heady void
#

so, in Halo 3, there are still flood coming to earth right? like the gravemind? how did that battle go as Chief was on the ark? Did the flood redirect their forces to the Ark?

cedar surge
#

Oh all the flood That was left(the elites made a blockade that destroyed most of the infected fleet, leaving only a ship and HC) on high charity went to the ark. The last ship they had was sent to earth and was glassed

heady void
#

so they werent much of a threat

fair hazel
#

@heady void Let's keep the questions appropriate.

heady void
#

it was, just those pesky naughty words making their way into normal speech! Ill improve sir!

#

.....Buzzkill

lethal comet
#

Probably just took HC straight into the portal like a meteorite

#

Since it came out over the ark with a high velocity

heady void
#

Lord Hood made it such a big deal that it was Earth's last stand doe

#

But i guess Chief inadvertently made the flood change plans from going to Earth to going to the Ark so they can get blown up by a Halo ring

fair hazel
#

High charity did not go to the portal.

#

It went near mars and used neural physics tech to travel to the ark

heady void
#

thx buzzkill

sturdy tangle
#

Lore on the banshee in my DMS pleas

limpid kernel
#

Huh

#

What lore on banshees and why in your dms

heady void
#

This is how ONI recruits kids into the Spartan program nowadays

limpid kernel
#

Incredible

lethal comet
#

It went near mars and used neural physics tech to travel to the ark
wasn't everthing using neural physics destroyed

stiff creek
#

Supposedly.

#

And while it was probably "tech" in some way, neural physics was a bit like magic in itself.

fair hazel
#

Ancient precursor knowledge

raw smelt
#

Precursors are bad juju

inner basin
#

@gilded mason I believe Jorge wore a modified Mk. IV[G], which was also the testbed for energy shielding (hence why he has the huge prototypical shield generator attached to his chestplate). As for the rest of Noble, they actually wore Mk. V variants with Six being the only one wearing Mk. V[B]. At least that’s how I’ve interpreted things

slow igloo
#

Anything out there in regards to Atriox's motives? Other than for powers sake? Like how and why is he on the Ark?

#

Seem to remember he arrived after the portal closed (Which is when the Created take control I think?)

inner basin
#

Well the Ark’s foundry creates Halo rings. Besides that, it’s the best place to gain power. We don’t really know his motives other than power atm

raw smelt
#

He wants to make copys of halo infinite

slow igloo
#

Would be nice to think he's actually trying to rebel against the Created.
But that still doesnt answer how he got there. The Ark is pretty much out of reach from "normal" slip space cores. I just dont see them being able to make that journey but also dont see who ever pulled the SoF to the Ark, pulling them there either.

#

So many questions left unanswered

leaden minnow
#

Did the unsc now they were living above the gateway to the ark or were they to oblivious to see what was right in front of them

clever fable
#

The ONI building you destroy as Mickey/Dutch in ODST was built above it to study the structure, as part of it had been discovered and ONI needed a front to keep the site secure.

#

They knew about it in some fashion.

#

Probably didn't know that it was a portal going to some unknown point in intergalactic space though.

versed helm
#

Wait, so that ONI building in ODST was actually on top of the ark?

clever fable
#

The portal isn't the ark. However the ONI building was above the structure, probably some outer portion of the rim. I don't know where New Mombasa is relative to the overall structure, but the ONI Building is in New Mombasa, above some portion of the portal structure.

#

In Halo 3: ODST's legendary ending, you actually get to see the prophet of Truth hover over the structure underneath the ground for a moment.

versed helm
#

My bad, I meant the ark portal lmao.

#

Wow I don't remember that at all. More reason to wait until ODST comes out and play it once again. Neat.

versed helm
#

two of the three prophets fall to the flood, right?

#

truth kinda falls to the flood, in 3

lethal comet
#

Not really ig

#

Arbiter kill him before he was completely infected

versed helm
#

i remember chief kills one, in H2

#

was that mercy, or regret?

lethal comet
#

regret

#

He technically kills mercy as well

#

killing the infection pod killed mercy

versed helm
#

mercy had gotten absorbed by the gravemind in 2, right?

lethal comet
#

regret's body got absorbed and mercy's as well likely

versed helm
#

so what happened to mercy? i cant remember that

lethal comet
#

Chief killing mercy was a mercy killing ironically

#

Dying was better than becoming flood

#

so what happened to mercy? i cant remember that
@versed helm Truth left him to the flood after an infection pod got through his body guards

#

The great journey waits for no one, not even you

#

Truth could have saved Mercy but he was being kind of a ****

terse lava
#

Mercy was later absorbed by the flood anyay

versed helm
#

yeah

#

the people who wanted the great journey got it, alright

round comet
#

ayee im back on discord

#

how many incorrect opinions have been seen

#

on this fine day

versed helm
#

dont know, dont care

round comet
#

oH how many sprint arguements

feral perch
#

stop

carmine sleet
#

Just search the word "Sprint" and find out that way

feral perch
#

this is the wrong channel for sprint arguments

round comet
#

ooo boy the word had been mentioned for like a hundred times lol

thin elk
#

Oh all the flood That was left(the elites made a blockade that destroyed most of the infected fleet, leaving only a ship and HC) on high charity went to the ark. The last ship they had was sent to earth and was glassed
@cedar surge Is it in any book or comic? I'd like to see more details of this

round comet
#

i dont think there is

thin elk
#

Hey, does anyone here knows about the Primordial and Menticant Bias?

round comet
#

yes

#

ask away if you have questions

#

i have the 🍿 for theories

thin elk
#

What did the Primordial mean when saying that humanity would take the galaxy?

round comet
#

he meant that the humans will attain the mantle the way the precursors wanted them to

thin elk
#

It was like he wanted it or like he was just narrating the inevitable fate of the galaxy after the forerunner flood war?

round comet
#

i think he knew they will, and he wished to test them.

#

although i dont entirely believe that humans ever did attain the mantle, heck they didnt even know what "the mantle" is

thin elk
#

There are many things that the Primordial says that looks more like a psycho game than the naked truth

round comet
#

they werent aware of its existence, it was an idealogy that the forerunners based everything upon

#

There are many things that the Primordial says that looks more like a psycho game than the naked truth

yeah, you could say that.

thin elk
#

The mantle is a distorced version of the duty to mantain the galaxy as an ecosystem

round comet
#

the forerunners belief in the mantle was simply "the most advanced species has the right to hold stewardship over all other life"

thin elk
#

yeah, you could say that.
@round comet It makes no sense to wish that humanity rule just to consume humanity, unless it is meant only to shame forerunners

#

the forerunners belief in the mantle was simply "the most advanced species has the right to hold stewardship over all other life"
@round comet It gets a little close to what the precursors meant, but that right wasn't about being advanced

round comet
#

It makes no sense to wish that humanity rule just to consume humanity, unless it is meant only to shame forerunners

maybe he didnt want humanity to "rule", the precurors wanted to them to inherit the mantle from them and have the same idealogy as they do.

like take this, theres a dad who wants to give all his possessions to his son and use all that the right way, then we have the stubborn elder brother who got jealous, stole all the possessions and used them the wrong way but with good intent.

thats like the best analogy i can come up with rn lol

#

the ancient humanity is the younger brother, the forerunners are the elder brother and the precursors are the dad

#

yeah what am i saying superintendent here

thin elk
#

That is a really good analogy

#

Got it

#

But the flood would try to consume humanity anyways

round comet
#

the flood didnt exist at that time, when the forerunners killed the precursors

#

in many ways the flood was a revenge plot set by the precursors

thin elk
#

the flood didnt exist at that time, when the forerunners killed the precursors
@round comet Oh, sorry

round comet
#

wait you dont know exactly what the flood are?

thin elk
#

I was asking about Primordial being interrogated by menticant bias

#

The precursors were already corrupted in the flood there

round comet
#

you are asking what exactly?

thin elk
#

What the primordial wanted with humanity

#

If the primordial, after meeting menticant bias, wanted humanity to take humanity's role or just wanted to consume them.

#

Wanted the flood to cinsume them*

round comet
#

uhuhhhh hmmmm uhhhhhh

#

"It was long ago decided. Forerunners will never bear the Mantle."

#

"Through long study. The decision is final. Humans will replace you. Humans will be tested next."

thin elk
#

Thanks

round comet
#

so, the primordial's goal for humanity was to test them to determine if they deserve the mantle

#

and the whole MB plot was him trying to destroy the forerunners

thin elk
#

The test is trying to consume them, a nice one

#

I need to read the books again, I started more than 5 years ago

#

With this in my mind (again, after some years) I suppose that humanity's test is completly beating the flood

round comet
#

i doubt that

keen delta
#

10,000 usages of the word sprint

round comet
#

im not surprised

versed helm
#

humanity's test is to finally decide if sprint is good or bad

sturdy star
#

A question far greater then anything we've faced.

versed helm
#

one that's been dragging on longer than the forerunner-human conflict

thin elk
#

i doubt that
@round comet why?thinkingchief

#

humanity's test is to finally decide if sprint is good or bad
@versed helm It is it

versed helm
#

yeah, i think sprint is legit

thin elk
#

Hey, did the portal to ark close after Halo 3?

gilded mason
#

Yeah, the Ark getting heavily damaged forced it shut.

carmine sleet
#

It then got reopened in 2555, before being closed again in 2558

gilded mason
#

Yup

versed helm
#

2558 is HW2, right?

gilded mason
#

Nah

#

2559

carmine sleet
#

2559, Atriox had been at the Ark for a few months before the game began after arriving the long way since the portal was closed a month before his arrival

versed helm
#

ahh.

flat swift
#

What's the oldest mjonear armor in use?

versed helm
#

i guess it would be red team

flat swift
#

Dont they have mk4?

versed helm
#

idk. they went missing for 28 years

#

the S-IIs had just come out in HW1

#

so i think they have the oldest armour

#

but the best looking

carmine sleet
#

They use Mark IV in Halo Wars 1 and while they use it early on in HW2, they do start modifying their Mark IV with new components based off of gen 2 hardware

inner basin
#

To add to the above, they aren't using the basic Mk. IV, it's a prototype implemented with energy shielding tech (as I believe that their energy shielding in HW1 was canonised). Then in HW2 with the more modern tech they find at the Ark they modify their GEN1 armour, but the latter half of this message was already covered by Slip pretty well

versed helm
#

Do u think if they had the newest armout they couldve taken atriox on?

#

Or do a decent number on him

delicate notch
#

Atriox had a similar kind of armor to the Spartans without their shield(Or am I wrong?). And since brutes have 3x the body weight of a Spartan Id say they have a pretty even 1v1 win-ratio. Spartans are better in CQC and brutes are more tanky in hand2hand.

versed helm
#

all the banished important people have skunkworked armour. atriox, decomius, pavium, voridus

terse lava
#

Decimus had a full blown mech suit

versed helm

decimus was the brute version of johnson's green machine

Any status on installation 09 or we’ll find out next year

True and could the halo array fire if one of the seven rings are missing/destroyed

cedar surge
#

So what was the unsc plan in halo 3 odst when the odsts actually manage to land on the thing. Don't those things have millions of covenant

#

That had to be less than 100 odsts dropping

humble yacht
#

The plan wasn’t to land on the ship

#

Alpha Nine had a different set of orders

#

Dare just didn’t tell them about that until the last minute

thin elk
#

True and could the halo array fire if one of the seven rings are missing/destroyed
@versed helm It didn't happen after installation 04 got punched by chief

lethal comet
#

Alpha Nine had a different set of orders
I think he's talking about the other squads landing on solemn penance

#

So what was the unsc plan in halo 3 odst when the odsts actually manage to land on the thing. Don't those things have millions of covenant
@cedar surge They were going after regret

cedar surge
#

Oh so they were just going to grab regret and get out

thin elk
#

Oh so they were just going to grab regret and get out
@cedar surge probably

cedar surge
#

But still you would have to fight through a lot of covenant to get to him

#

And I'm assuming most of the odsts sent died in the in atmo slipspace jump

that is also true

#

the banshee is like the covie version of the hornet, right?

cedar surge
#

Well yea I guess

#

But the banished can shoot down aircraft way larger than itself like the longsword and pelican

versed helm
#

they do believe in tinkering

light kiln
#

Could be that we're viewing the Banshees in Spartan Time. So they seem slow.

cedar surge
#

That's a explanation I hear a bunch

versed helm
#

ghosts still seem pretty quick, even with the whole spartan time thing

spiral jewel
#

For Fireteam Crimson, would it be farfetched to guess/hypothesize/assume that they're either stationed on the Infinity, or dealing with Created Shenanigans between the events of Halo 5 and Infinite? (Autumn 2558- Spring 2560-61)

versed helm
#

i...am not too sure about that

light kiln
#

Fireteam Crimson is probably dead, honestly.

#

They'd likely be on Infinity like Majestic. I highly doubt that they'd be dealing with the Created though.

unique rune
#

Reading through more of Battle Born... kinda interesting seeing some of the tech in it.
Stuff like the implication that Halo 5’s kinetic bolt weapon attachment seems to be something CDS degeloped?

spiral jewel
#

@light kiln there's probably cases to make cases for both sides of the story

light kiln
#

Which sides?

spiral jewel
#

@light kiln Crimson being either dead or pacing around on the Infinity waiting for orders

light kiln
#

Them being dead is a reference to the Halo Infinite trailer where the Infinity game over'd itself and a bunch of its crew.

cedar surge
#

The infinity is not destroyed

#

Those were personal tags saying deceased

gilded mason
#

Or rather, not confirmed

light kiln
#

^^

cedar surge
#

Who would think destroying the most important warship in humanity offscreen would be a good idea

spiral jewel
#

@cedar surge not to mention none of the tags shown were Spartan tags, they were either ONI, ODST, or UNSC navy

light kiln
#

With a field full of debris and dead people floating around, it's safe to presume that something happens that involves the ship.

#

Not its destruction-
Or the ring blew up and ejected people.

#

Random thought.

#

How do you know that about the tags?

unique rune
#

Their affiliations are shown before they switch to reading as deceased.

light kiln
#

Ah. Makes more sense.

#

Then they're probably alive.
I'm still not too sure about dealing with Created shenanigans though. Last I heard, the Infinity was constantly making slipspace jumps to not be found.
Though there are Spartan Teams (A whole stations worth) currently doing their own thing. So, of they were I'd guess that.

#

Y’know, the gravity hammer has a volume of more than 0.06 cubic meters. For it the be a measly 40 kilograms would require it to have the density of wood and float around — a hammer. Official numbers are so stupid

#

That’s the top end only, also a lowball

#

The blade supposedly made of tungsten, which easily makes the thinnest and smallest part of the weapon to exceed the official weight

#

Even the smallest shown hammer, such as the ones in Halo Wars 2, should be twice of what is stated for the Fist of Rukt at least

#

well, they hare gravity hammers

#

breaking physics is what they do

#

I want the Interplanetary War to be explored more.

#

Who would think destroying the most important warship in humanity offscreen would be a good idea
@cedar surge Probably the same person who suggested MC visiting a Halo ring and killing the Didact off in a comic was a good idea.

#

Hwy guys did you know in halo 3 there was a unifected dead odst. Either meaning he died on impact when the IAC crashed or he survived high charity and died
@cedar surge There's an uninfected regular marine by the Pelican too.

inner basin
#

That Pelican that Arby and Chief escaped in likely was dispatched there by the UNSC after HC arrived and an ODST (or maybe a few) and a Marine went to investigate. Then they subsequently died, but maybe weren’t infected because perhaps they were all mangled and the Flood couldn’t make good use of their bodies? I don’t know. That’s the only reason I can think of for why they haven’t been infected

#

If the universe is 13 billion+ years old, what happened before 200,000 BCE in the halo universe; for context in 150,000 BCE the forerunners destroy their homeworld in a stellar engineering accident.

lethal comet
#

The precursors roamed from galaxy to galaxy seeding life everywhere

mild kestrel
#

Ik, but did the life they seed become as advanced as ancient humans and forerunners

lethal comet
#

The universe doesn't expand on things outside the galaxy

#

And the forerunners took a long long time to evolve

mild kestrel
#

Wasn't sure so thought I would ask more knowledgeable lore people than I

lethal comet
#

The closest we got to things outside the milky way was in the forerunner triology

#

When the flood retreated out of the galaxy and the primitive forerunners in path kethona

mild kestrel
#

I have read the forerunner saga, wish there were more book like those

lethal comet
#

I only liked silentium

#

Primordium is not really engaging

mild kestrel
#

It was a bit slow, but still an interesting read

lethal comet
#

Cryptum felt like an introduction to the main characters and setting the stage for the Ecumene's collapse

#

Primordium was the start of the end

#

And silentium was the forerunners last stand

@lethal comet yup, and as being said, I’m newbie to halo lore. Sorry for scrubbing around

I don’t think he can be a Headhunter because during the War, Headhunters were inserted as Binary Teams (exclusively) as far as we can tell from their lore. The whole Lone Wolf thing was post-war after the reformation of the program.

about headhunter

they are the most secretive and elite types of spartans right?

I went to the outpost discovery in Florida last year but I didn't get to experience anything because the lines were so long when I got there.

#

Fun fact about Outpost Discovery. It actually has a canonical explanation in universe, and Hazel along with another Spartan-III, Owen-B096 were there at the event in canon. I don’t know if they had someone in an outfit acting as these Spartans present at the actual Outpost event because I live in Europe and never got to experience it unfortunately

If they do Halo Outpost again, it might be help if they have maybe 2 or 3 of the same attraction so it could let more people experience the stuff.

They’re all canon. In the Package Halsey is approximately 25 years younger than she is in Reach, and in Reach she is 6 years younger than she is in 5. Why did you think only one is canon? It’s natural ageing

sinful pollen

Reach Halsey is younger because Reach is a prequel

I understand that the story of Halo Legends is canon but the appearance of Halsey in Halo Legends was canon? That's confusing

gilded mason
#

but the appearance of Halsey in Halo Legends was canon?
It is not, as far as I know.

humble yacht
#

Halsey's depiction in The Package is too young

inner basin
#

"The Package" is 8 years before reach
I made a mistake. I was thinking of something else

glacial gulch
#

guys is there any book

inner basin
#

It was 2544

glacial gulch
#

that contain the biology of halo

#

like irican

#

Fall of Reach was before the events of the Package b/c that was the Spartan 2 origin stories.

humble yacht
#

the fall of reach novel takes place across a long period of time

sinful pollen
#

And Halsey had black hair in there

inner basin
#

Things can change. Have you heard of hair dye?

It's best to just think of it as anime being anime.

By the way... hair dye exists

gilded mason
#

Beast beat you to that.

#

I wouldn't be surprised if a handful of Spartans ( 2's 3s and 4's) post HCW use hair dye ( though, I'm sure that the 2's probably wouldn't know how to use it, aside from Maria probably)

gilded mason
#

They're fast learners, if they didn't already know how, they'd figure it out fairly quickly.

spiral jewel
#

Good point

craggy sierra
#

Halsey doesn’t strike me as someone who’d dye her hair

gilded mason
#

Yeah.

humble yacht
#

she'd obviously dye her hair blue

#

not black

inner basin
#

Blue hair? Funky

fair hazel

Ah. I got beat.

#

▪︎how did the flood survive from the events of halo 3?

#

▪︎Is sanghelios also subjugated by the guardian?

#

▪︎and also please explain the ending of halo wars 2

stable flower
#

Halo 3's ending is made more tragic by ATN.

prisma root
#

I want to know these answers

stable flower
#

We destroy High Charity, only for ATN to show most of it still intact. We activate Alpha Halo B to destroy the Flood, only for ATN to once again show that they survived. So everything we did at the end of Halo 3 was for nothing.

prisma root
#

so halo 3 was a lie?

#

**▪︎how did the flood survive from the events of halo 3?
▪︎Is sanghelios also subjugated by the guardian?
▪︎and also please explain the ending of halo wars 2 **

#

I need answers please..

autumn quiver
#

hiddenxperia probably has videos for each of those

versed helm
#

sanghelios is subjected to the guardian's sonic burst

#

we see that in H5

#

at the end of H5, we see cortana near an unidentified halo

prisma root
#

ohh right

versed helm
#

in HW2, anders sees a guardian

prisma root
#

yes

#

what does that mean?

versed helm
#

its meant to show that both the storylines are finally coming together

prisma root
#

WAIT

versed helm
#

the halo cortana reaches is the one anders was on

prisma root
#

so the halo ring we saw in 5

versed helm
#

installation 09

#

yeah

#

was from HW2

prisma root
#

is the one Anders is on?

versed helm
#

aye

prisma root
#

wow

#

I didnt know

versed helm
#

i was legit nuts when i connected the dots

obsidian thistle
#

Oh?

prisma root
#

and halo 3 was a lie?

obsidian thistle
#

No it wasnt

versed helm
#

i dont think it was a lie. the flood was also on the ark

prisma root
#

yea

versed helm
#

like, high charity crashes into it

prisma root
#

flood on high charity, ark, and installation 08 was supposed to be cleansed

feral perch
#

The Halo ring at the end of HW2 is Installation 09. The ring seen in the Legendary ending for Halo 5: Guardians is an unknown ring, and the ring in Halo Infinite is Installation 07.

obsidian thistle
#

Side note: We dont know the ring in Halo 5 yet.

#

It could be I07 or I09.

prisma root
#

y'all confusing me TwT

versed helm
#

07 has a hole in it

feral perch
#

It could be any of the surviving Installations imo.

versed helm
#

besides the obvious one

#

its 09

feral perch
#

Not necessarily.

obsidian thistle
#

@versed helm we dont know when that hole was caused.

#

It could of happened after the Halo 5 ending.

prisma root
#

what was his name again?

#

halo infinites villain

feral perch
#

Escharum

prisma root
#

esharum

feral perch
#

Pronounced “Eh-sure-um”

#

Escharum

prisma root
#

yeaa

#

so we were told about atriox in hw2

versed helm
#

this is 07, zeta halo. one of the original 12. it got shrunk down cause it had to hoop a planet, but the gravitational flux messed up the ring

#

09 was made by anders

prisma root
#

who is escharum then?

obsidian thistle
#

Erm

#

I09 was not made by Anders

#

It was automated by the Ark after I08 was destroyed.

feral perch
#

Escharum is the leader of the Banished in the Milky Way galaxy.

versed helm
#

it was, in an attempt to get close to UNSC space. it had the firing mechanism disabled

obsidian thistle
#

Anders only tweeked parts of it.

versed helm
#

but cortana finds it

obsidian thistle
#

That isnt making the ring ;)

prisma root
#

Escharum is the leader of the Banished in the Milky Way galaxy.
@feral perch is atriox under escharum?

carmine sleet
#

Atriox is the leader of the Banished

obsidian thistle
#

He is one of Atrioxs Warlords.

#

A General if you will in a sense

prisma root
#

installation 09 is replacement of 08 which in turn is a replacement of 04 right?

versed helm
#

yep

obsidian thistle
#

Yup

prisma root
#

ok

feral perch
#

is atriox under escharum?
@prisma root

No. By 2560, Atriox’s fate is unknown.

versed helm
#

last we see him, he's looking at the corpse of a proto-gravemind

prisma root
#

so atriox holds higher power than escharum right?

versed helm
#

on the ark

#

atriox leads the banished

#

escharum is part of it

prisma root
#

ok i get it now

#

and r'tas vadum

#

where is he currently?

obsidian thistle
#

I'll get ya a source cause thats complex

craggy sierra
#

Last we saw he was leaving off on a mission to find the rest if the prophets race to broker peace with those un-involved in the covenant.

#

...I think?

obsidian thistle
#

Cause we know a lil beyond the above

prisma root
#

lol

craggy sierra
#

That was all before the created stuff happened too

versed helm
#

didnt he blow up along with the other elites when that engineer accidentally activated a nova bomb?

prisma root
#

what

versed helm
#

on the carrier?

#

yeah

prisma root
#

really?!

versed helm
#

im not too sure about that

obsidian thistle
#

That has the status of the Shadow of Intent circa March 3 2558

#

Love those catalog posts

carmine sleet
#

didnt he blow up along with the other elites when that engineer accidentally activated a nova bomb?
Half Jaw isn't dead, and definitely not because of a NOVA

obsidian thistle
#

Yea he aint dead

prisma root
#

i understand

#

i guess

#

wait

#

he went in search of the san shyuum species

versed helm
#

some super famous elite did due to an accidental nova bomb though, right? like, he was a very devout believer, the prophets exiled him cause they were scared of him

#

after the schism, he came back and tried to re-make the covenant?

#

but went super-nova?

obsidian thistle
#

May I suggest reading Halo: Ghosts of Onyx ;)

prisma root
#

i dont have the book sigh

obsidian thistle
#

Cause thats where that story happens

prisma root
#

how long have you been following halo?

versed helm
#

man, i REALLY need to re-lore

i've been in it for 4-5 years now

i had halo 5

i got it with the bundle

i watched the gameplay of the ones i dont have

I was released the same year as Marathon Durundal

1995? @craggy sierra

Yep

or 1996?

A part of me wishes Halo kept the Marathon themed weapon names the early builds Bungie/Ex-Bungie emps showed had.

craggy sierra
#

I mean Marathon had a plasma pistol or something. That counts right?

prisma root
#

are mods people working for 343?

craggy sierra

I really don’t like Marathon. My last attempt to play it ended in motion sickness.

versed helm

and now i want to play marathon

Enjoy getting lost in labyrinthine hallways that all look the same for hours on end with a game locked at 30 that only reads mouse inputs as mild suggestions.

No we're not

What is Marathon, is it still playable, and where can I play it.

humble yacht

Check Apple store, I have it on my phone

Bungie hosts free downloads for it on PC

Run from it, dread it, the Halo event still arrives

Anyone remember Oni?

craggy sierra

Nope

frank copper
#

Office of Naval Intelligence?

obsidian thistle
#

Ah ONI. I have the PS2 version. That team apparently saved Halo CE.

craggy sierra
#

What a weird game that is

obsidian thistle
#

Shame there is no (or its very obscure) reference to it in Halo lore like Marathon has.

craggy sierra
#

I mean it also wasn’t that great either

#

neither was Marathon but hey, people on Mac wanted DOOM and Bungie delivered

stable flower
#

It's an anime-like game where you fight criminals of different types who have a hierarchy, then you go rogue and fight your former co-workers on the useless police force you worked for.

frank copper
#

Interesting

#

And Bungie made it?

craggy sierra
#

Yeah

#

I think it was PS2 exclusive also

stable flower
#

The Syndicate are basically human versions of the Covenant, and the TCTF are a police version of the UNSC.

craggy sierra
#

And the game is basically a mediocre third person beat em up with some shooter stuff.

The main character is a purple-haired hot chick

Nice

Sounds like Ghost In The Shell

I really hate oni when they tried to framed chief for shooting up the peace treaty

It's on PC as well. It shares some sound effects from Halo 1.

oni the game did have ghost in the shell inspirations

I played it when I was much younger and impressionable, my one freind says it kinda sucks

Halo legends the prototype is good. Doesn't Johnson wear it in HW2

The ONI comics are funnily enough one factor in how the Halo Graphic Novel came about.

#

Halo legends the prototype is good. Doesn't Johnson wear it in HW2
@cedar surge he wears the "J" variant of that suit.

cedar surge
#

So since Johnson is dead is that variant canon? And I thought that the plans for the suit were destroyed following Cole protocol

Oh

On one hand the suit is cool

#

On the other I don't like jack of all trades suits

inner basin
#

Well technically base Mjolnir variants are like jack of all trades suits

obsidian thistle
#

Tbf we dont know if the J suit got used. Or if its in some facility getting dust.

cedar surge
#

It has shielding,mingun,grenade launcher, sticky grenades, motors, rocket launchers

#

Oh yea it also has nuclear detonation

#

Spartan armor has nothing on this

obsidian thistle
#

The Prototype suit only got used due to Ghost making use of it. It was gonna be destroyed otherwise.

feral perch
#

which suit?

cedar surge
#

I liked the battle in the episode between marines and covenant

inner basin
#

I still get chills whenever he does a super hero-esque landing in front of those two marines

Johnson's HW2 mech suit is canon? weird.

@feral perch

#

Ah thank you.

cedar surge

If you put in you say run it really fits

Halo works well with anime

obsidian thistle

Just wait till I tell you lot Cryo troopers are canon

cedar surge

Wait what

inner basin

Halo works well with anime
Well unless it involves giving Kelly heel boots and a breastplate

obsidian thistle

You mean all of serinas troops are canon

#

Oh yea I Remeber that

feral perch
#

Exellent. I want a cryogun in Halo Infinite.

obsidian thistle
#

Well

cedar surge
#

You mean that in the war the covenant were actually getting iced

obsidian thistle
#

The "only" Cryo Unit outside the prototype cryo bomb (which isnt a unit) is Cryo Troopers and even thats experimental on the Spirit of Fire.

cedar surge
#

So cryo troopers were a experimental unit only stationed on the SOF

obsidian thistle
#

At this current time yes.

cedar surge
#

Wow a lot of HW units sure would have been useful in the main story

obsidian thistle
#

For all we know only 1 squad was trained.

Halopedia

Blizzard Squad is a United Nations Space Command Marine Corps squad present on the UNSC Spirit of Fire. The squad consists at least 2 Cryo Troopers a Marine, and one squad leader. This squad was formed during the Second Ark Conflict in 2559 against the Banished, implementing e...

Scarabs,no problem here's a vulture

inner basin
#

A lot of SoF forces are/have experimental weaponry and armaments

cedar surge
#

Need to take down covenant air support? Here's some wolverines

#

Isn't most base vehicles in the campaign in use

obsidian thistle
#

That units the craziest it gets tbh in what the SoF actually using.

feral perch
#

Warthogs with rocket pods are decent AA.

cedar surge
#

Wolverines though

#

I wish HW vehicles got used more outside of the RTS gamss

feral perch
#

At least it's better than the laughably bad AA Wraith. Fuel Rods are the worst anti-air munition.

inner basin
#

Those ice units aren’t really impressive anymore though. We got electric stun/shock grenades in Infinite from the trailer and a potential electric gun if we’re going to go off the MegaBlox sets (which is just speculation)

feral perch
#

Lightning gun would be amazeballs

cedar surge
#

Would hellbringers be more useful than cryo troopers?

west silo
#

Depends on range

feral perch
#

You can figure that out by picking up a Flamethrower in Halo 3/ODST

obsidian thistle
#

I guess it depends on the implementation

cedar surge
#

@feral perch gameplay does not equal canon. And I think flames are better

feral perch
#

you really didn't have to tell me that.

#

I know the first rule of lore.

cedar surge
#

Misinterpreted

#

Sorry

west silo
#

Flip tank

feral perch
#

It's okay.

#

We don't know how either the flamethrower or cryocanon behaves in canon.

obsidian thistle
#

Its not really a "rule". Just a "thing to consider when discussing the games." ;)

west silo
#

Like a Spartan surviving a orbital drop and dying from a 10 meter fall

#

Gameplay is fun

cedar surge
#

Or how the AR can only shoot 20 yards

inner basin
#

Or how the AR can only shoot 20 yards
And how the spread of it in-game is crazy

Stop using in game science and just search it up and stop getting false information

west silo

Bruh

feral perch
#

MattPat really did a great job on that energy sword lore video /s

cedar surge
#

Watched a video full of false information about the flaws of the unsc marines

#

For example that the AR is too big and bulky

#

Or that unsc guns were ineffective against the covenant

inner basin
#

The UNSC won most battles on the ground lol

cedar surge
#

Or that the marines might as well not wear armor since plasma is so effective

west silo
#

For example that the AR is too big and bulky
@cedar surge
Was it installation 00

cedar surge
#

No it was generation tech

#

The best bit is you know what flaw they gave the marines?

#

Driving

west silo
#

The UNSC won most battles on the ground lol
@inner basin
Mostly due to superior tactics and Spartans

inner basin
#

Doesn’t change the fact

feral perch
#

GenerationTech does mostly Star Wars doesn't he?

cedar surge
#

The guy actually said driving was the marines weakness

#

Yes

obsidian thistle
#

@inner basin if I recall the UNSC winning ground engagements were mostly those that involved Spartans.

feral perch
#

That would explain the rookie lore mistakes.

cedar surge
#

He used gameplay to prove his point

#

That was the worst researched video on his channel

#

I think even 40k got more respect

feral perch
#

Actually not wearing a lot of armor because of the effectiveness of plasma is a good point.

cedar surge
#

The last thing is

west silo
#

The best bit is you know what flaw they gave the marines?
@cedar surge
Eww weren't he the guy who tried to make a better version of the scorpion and ended up making a worst one

cedar surge
#

He said a weakness of the marines is that the navy loses

feral perch
#

The Warthog, for example, isn't a heavily armored vehicle (no doors) and it has no need to be because plasma melts metal and turns it into a burning slag.

obsidian thistle
#

Well... if you want. There is no real rules to canon. Most places just try to follow what 343i say as canon to the best of their ability.

cedar surge
#

What how is that their fault

west silo
#

He said a weakness of the marines is that the navy loses
@cedar surge
What

cedar surge
#

Yes

#

He actually says that the navy losing is the marines flaw

#

They are two different branches

inner basin
#

It just hurts my brain trying to understand his thought process behind that

west silo
#

How can U blame the lost of space forces on the ground infantry

cedar surge
#

He even said that unsc guns were ineffective against the covenant

inner basin
#

You already said that earlier

cedar surge
#

That marines struggled with anything past grunts

west silo
#

He even said that unsc guns were ineffective against the covenant
@cedar surge
Well some

feral perch

That much is true.

Jackal shield phalanxes, Elites, and Brutes were all powerful foes.

Try killing a hunter with a magnum

Ballistic guns
@cedar surge
I hate the its tha future they should use lazea weopeans argument

He actually said lack of air support

@cedar surge
Looks at the ships in orbit yaaa

Does he not even know the air force exist

He said the marines lacked true air support and depended on the navy

Longswords,shortswords,broadsword,baselard,nanados

Probably never even seen wars

Some warthogs have doors

You know its kinds funny when people refer to projectile weapons as primitive when we haunt even passed ballistic weapons

Ballistic weapons are still in use

Why does he call them primitive

Does he expect to see laser guns in a couple of years

west silo

Some warthogs have doors
@versed helm
All warthogs had doors they were removed for some reason explained in contact harvest

Yea

For like air or somethin easier to breathe

Somthin like that

Is the AR even that heavy?

Prob

Does he expect to see laser guns in a couple of years
@cedar surge
The unsc had laser weopeans before encountering the covenant

cedar surge

In talking about right now

Because I think its funny when people say projectile weapons are primitive while we are still using them

Compared to the covenant yea

Because I think its funny when people say projectile weapons are primitive while we are still using them

And a lot of logistical problems
Come with laser weopeans

Didn't the covenant turn a entire planet into a plasma storm for ammo for their weapons

Well he used driving as a argument so no

Yeah not everythings gonna be pitch perfect to lore
@versed helm
Lets make Johnson white

But can it kill a fully shielding Spartan in one overcharged shot?

Whered u get that @west silo

#

It shouldnt kill a spartan if it has sheilds

cedar surge

He said that a fully charged plasma pistol could take down a Spartan in one shot

west silo

Whered u get that @west silo
@versed helm
Its just a harmless joke about what u said😋

versed helm
#

Oh i was wondering if there was anything connected lol

cedar surge
#

Oh he just said reverse engineering covenant tech to make our own energy weapons like its that easy

west silo
#

He said that a fully charged plasma pistol could take down a Spartan in one shot
@cedar surge
Um no sam died because his suit got breached

versed helm
#

Well no if it was easy theyd have lasee weapons

west silo
#

Oh i was wondering if there was anything connected lol
@versed helm
But keyes is black now?

versed helm
#

But they only managed sheilds

cedar surge
#

They got shields from reverse engineering jackal shields

#

First off how is the unsc gonna get ammo for energy weapons

west silo
#

But they only managed sheilds
@versed helm
Plus overcharged shots have an emp effect that can shutdown vehicles

@Spartan 117 yes and master cheuf is now a female and according to netflix lgbt

True tru

@Spartan 117 yes and master cheuf is now a female and according to netflix lgbt

Second off how is the unsc gonna reverse engineer energy weapons like that so easily

Who knows

He actually said that the unsc could have done it easily

Second off how is the unsc gonna reverse engineer energy weapons like that so easily
@cedar surge
It took them decades to finally understand the needler and they still don't fully get it

@versed helm
I know that pain

versed helm
#

In lore what happend to armour abilities?

cedar surge
#

He looked at all the good sides of the covenant energy weapons and looked at all the bad sides of projectile weapons

#

There is a bias here

west silo
#

Did he note the pitiful amount of ammo covies weapons hold

versed helm
#

Halo 1 plasma pistol op

#

Plamsa in lore is too op

#

Makes sense tho

cedar surge
#

He did for the unsc (using gameplay and not canon) and said that energy guns fire way longer

west silo
#

Halo 1 plasma pistol op
@versed helm
Halo 5 ce pistol is too

cedar surge

He said the unsc marines could barely hold ammo

Yes

Only for h4

He said the unsc marines could barely hold ammo
@cedar surge

Before they turned into zombie dusts of course

No he kept on saying marines had ammo problems but didn't even address that for the covenant

He barely spoke negatively about energy weapons

@feral perch
The beam rifle is best boi

He says that firearms have the problem of having to get bigger to be more powerful. Doesn't the same go for energy weapons

Sorta

Well yeah

He says that firearms have the problem of having to get bigger to be more powerful. Doesn't the same go for energy weapons
@cedar surge
Pretty much unless it's the plasma pistol

Halo ce pistol

Yea I don't get what he was going for. Energy weapons pretty much do the exact same

versed helm
#

That thing can take the hat off an elite at 100 yards lol

cedar surge
#

Having to get bigger to do more damage

#

The guy who did the flaws on the covenant had a much better video

versed helm
#

Like the wraith

cedar surge
#

Using lore and not gameplay

versed helm
#

Wraith is poopoo

feral perch
#

uh is he the one who said the Wraith was bad for not having a guidance system for its mortars?

cedar surge

The guy who did the unsc video or the one who did the covenant video

#

If covenant then no

Not GenerationTech, someone else.

I hate that people always forget that the wealth isn't a tank its a mobile artillery

He redesigned the scorpion and wraith

@cedar surge l also hate that one

Somebody even claimed the scorpion redesigned to be more halo

He redesigned the scorpion and wraith```
He the guy who redesigned the wraith to have wheels?

I think so but its been a while

Yep

Question about the infinity

cedar surge
#

I don't really like the redesign

It feels like a generic tank design

Now the wraiths greatest enemy is a muddy road

Its said to be the pride of joy of the unsc but how big is it compared to the autumn

cedar surge
#

The autumn class or the ship

versed helm
#

Auttum hyclon class i beileive

feral perch

Bruh the UNSC Infinity is 6 kilometers long. It completely dwarfs the Pillar of Autumn.

west silo

Its said to be the pride of joy of the unsc but how big is it compared to the autumn
@versed helm
Its 5km big and the Autumn is like 1.2km

gilded mason
versed helm
#

So it it fitts like 4 times in

#

But correct me of im wrong

gilded mason
#

Pillar of Autumn on the bottom left (I think?)

versed helm
#

But even during the war the autumn was like 1 third as small as the big ships

feral perch
#

sure?

#

What is that human vessel that approaches the Infinity in size?

versed helm
#

Idk classes

cedar surge
#

The wrath redesign looks like a apc with a wrath turret on it

#

Though his scorpion redesign looks better

What is that human vessel that approaches the Infinity in size?
Punic-class supercarrier

Thanks

cedar surge
#

Yea that beast

#

It could also hold frigates and destroyers I think

#

So did the old ships just get replaced or are they still off somewhere

versed helm
#

Shipyards

cedar surge
#

The old ships are defending shipyards?

unique rune
#

No

No

#

They getting dismantled for material

It probably just varies from ship to ship

Some might be decommissioned and scrapped, others may still be in service

We dont have a story that goes into explicit detail on when Johnson got his augs.

Use code Hiddenxperia for the ICONIC free audiobook. Kappa

They mention it. I don’t think it’s actually gone over in real time ever.

Johnson is till alive, he's a time traveling alien

versed helm
#

I always thought a huragock could have grabbed Johnson and for him to safety while repairing him...if they really wanted to bring him back 🤷🏻‍♂️

#

The smaller green ones are made to repair bio organically

cedar surge
#

Grabbed Johnson? Why would a engineer be there

versed helm
#

On the Ark? Why not???

#

Why are the flood still alive there? A lot of dumb stuff can happen there it seems lol

unique rune
#

I mean.
More specifically.

What would a Lifeworker Huragok be doing inside the self-destructing control room of a newly constructed Halo ring?

versed helm
#

Followed them there. Curiosity.

#

Can make tons of reasons if the books are anything to go off of

unique rune
#

Followed them with... absolutely no one taking notice.

versed helm
#

Sure. They use secret passageways all the time 🤷🏻‍♂️

#

I’m not saying I’d like it for the record

unique rune
#

And even if there was a Lifeworker Huragok there to get to Johnson in time... there’d be no way for them to get off the ring in time.

versed helm
#

The place blew up like 2 seconds later

#

Either way johnson wouldve died when he hit the floor

#

Of the pit

cedar surge
#

Mow that I think about it why does the SoF have a bunch of experimental stuff

terse lava
#

whats going on here?

nimble crest
#

I mean, who would like bringing him back honestly? 343 couldn’t do Johnson.

slow igloo
#

Was thinking about that earlier. Like why bring back Spark? He literally betrays and kills Johnson. Why would 343 want to bring him back and have next to no consequences for his actions. (I just know he's back with a new body and little about his motives but still)

#

Not saying I want Johnson back, but Id be lying if I said I wouldn't be happy to see him again. Him being a DLC in HW2 was brilliant

#

Would be awesome to have a ODST style spin-off that features Johnson. Itd have to be a prequal but Id buy it

versed helm
#

Contact harvest game would be lit

cedar surge
#

Well there might be a entire repeat of the halo reach situation with the game demolishing the lore

#

Though 343 seems more careful in that regard

west silo
#

Contact harvest game would be lit
@versed helm
The first half would be similar to a COD campaign

nimble crest
#

Id love to see the first contact

craggy sierra
#

I mean I don’t know what the initial reasoning was for bringing him back was but Renegades does some amazing stuff with Spark’s character

#

He spends his time running scrap salvage with his new bff now

#

I also find it hard to blame spark when Bungie just felt the need to ham fist arbitrary character deaths into Halo 3

#

The way Johnson and Miranda go in that game doesn’t feel emotional because of how it comes across. It reads like someone looked at their watch at decided “it’s drama-o-clock”

cedar surge
#

So spark is a salvaged now?

craggy sierra
#

Salvager

#

Yeah he’s BFF’s with Rion Forge running salvage missions now.

#

He also got swole

cedar surge

How does a robot get swole

@west silo Because you're fighting humans? Why does everyone do that?

craggy sierra
#

Just fighting humans wouldn’t bode well for Halo gameplay

#

You’d just 1-tap everything in the head. It’d just be fighting skinnier grunts.

west silo
#

I didn't mean it in a negative way infact ahalo game where u fight against humans would be fun

stable flower
#

Some could wear protective helmets/armor. It worked for Brutes.

west silo
#

Just look at infinite warfare

craggy sierra
#

Pretty sure that’d be the complete opposite

#

It did not work for brutes

next delta
#

what spartans wore mark 5

#

besides chief

stable flower
#

It protected Halo 2 Brutes from headshots. Halo Reach ones too.

craggy sierra
#

The only thing that worked for brutes in Halo 2 was the fact their head hitbox sucked

west silo

@craggy sierra
Dude gameplay and canon are two different things

craggy sierra
#

Well his idea is to spend half a game fighting humans. I don’t care what the canonical reasoning is. That wouldn’t make for a good game.

west silo

Plus you'd be playing as a non supersoldier

I seem to recall having to put more than a few rounds into them

@craggy sierra
Try playing cod veteran difficulty

craggy sierra
#

I’m pretty sure Halo’s low end is also higher than CoD’s ttk.

#

Also having nothing use shields would kinda delete the purpose of Halo’s weapon sandbox as well.

#

Hell without covenant there’d only be half a sandbox anyways.

west silo

I’m pretty sure Halo’s low end is also higher than CoD’s ttk.

@craggy sierra
What defines halo

craggy sierra
#

Like none of the gameplay in Halo is suited to just taking on normal dudes.

west silo
#

Do u Like halo 5 gameplay I love It and I think that definws halo

craggy sierra
#

In the single player it’s usually defined by a large enemy roster with unique behaviours tied to every unit with differing health, aggression, tactics, and optimal strategies for beating it along with a weapon sandbox that offers optimal solutions depenidng on what unique threat you’re facing in the moment.

#

Just fighting normal dudes throws all that out the window

#

Halo’s enemy concept is that of old 90s shooters where each one had a specific role to fill in a combat encounter. Like DOOM.

versed helm
#

I sorta agree

craggy sierra
#

The extent if what you can do with humans as the only enemy, especially during the insurrection conflicts is, put a helmet on a dude.

#

That’s not gonna carry a Halo campaign.

west silo
#

Just fighting normal dudes throws all that out the window
@craggy sierra
The normal dudes can easily have. Different unique traits
Flamers
Normal troops
Dudes with heavy armor
Dudes who are high on rumble drugs

versed helm
#

Yeah i don't think cod gameplay is as bad as ur putting it

craggy sierra
#

Every single one of those you could probably one tap with a DMR besides the heavy armour dude.

versed helm
#

Yeah

stable flower
#

Have a guy like the Bulldozer from Payday

@craggy sierra
U know most enemies can be killed with a br right

craggy sierra

They can but grunts are the only ones that go down with no strings attached.

Or a guy like the juggernaut from cod

Jackles?

Jackals you gotta stun first

Who cares its 2 shotts for them

craggy sierra

They also really really like overcharging plasma pistols

Jackals you gotta stun first
@craggy sierra
Drones?

craggy sierra
#

They also fulfill a sniper role a larger range

#

@craggy sierra
Drones?
@west silo flying enemies that come in swarms, invalidate cover, and are hard to hit.

versed helm

They would destroy a marine mega quick too without cover

@west silo flying enemies that come in swarms, invalidate cover, and are hard to hit.
@craggy sierra
Br decimate them

versed helm
#

Idk the idea sounds good

#

Im sure theres a good way to make the gameplay fun

#

Without being directly cod

craggy sierra
#

It might decimate them but the gimmick to drones is the fact that there’s so many of them, they come in high numbers, can flank you from above, and can decimate you in under a second if you don’t act carefully.

versed helm
#

Its like a half of the game too

west silo
#

U gotta give something a chance before imediently shooting it down thats how good things are made
Look at halo 2

versed helm
#

Yes sir

#

But lets get to THE REAL QUESTIONS

west silo

But lets get to THE REAL QUESTIONS
@versed helm
Is chipps an precursor

craggy sierra
#

I do give a lot of things a chance. I do believe that a lot of the changed in H5 were for the better. But I also understand and have long made peace with the fact that Humans would not make for a compelling Halo enemy.

versed helm
#

Yes how is that a question course he is

craggy sierra
#

Regardless of what happens in lore, we’re probably not gonna see it in a game.

Its an idea

@craggy sierra
Noo I don't want a complex enemies I just meant that in the book johnson fought humans then the covenant so I was saying it should start like that thats all

#

And u guys were talking about a game version of contact harvest sooo

craggy sierra
#

That’s still like half a game spent fighting humans.

stable flower
#

The rebels could use robots. There were rebel robots in the concept art of Halo 5.

west silo
#

Thats what's the book said unless 343 wants to retcon events and upset lore fans like what bungie did with reach

#

The rebels could use robots. There were rebel robots in the concept art of Halo 5.
@stable flower
Or drones

versed helm
#

So lore wise with the games it would go halo war one, reach, CEA, halo 2, ODST, halo 3,4 spartan assault/strike halo 5 halo wars 2

lethal comet
#

pretty much yeah

slow igloo
#

lol love that I sparked a big convo. But I was thinking making a story/game of the time frames that we dont know where/what Johnson is doing. This way it "shouldn't" retcon any pre-exsiting lore and we also to get to walk in the boots of one of the UNSC's meanest, greenest, SOB that isnt an OP Super Solider...

#

AM I RIGHT, MARINES?!

#

"Men, here is where we show those split-chin, squid-head, sons of b****** that they could not have picked a worse enemy than the human race. We are going to blow the hell out of those dumb bugs until we don't have anything left to shoot 'em with! And then, we are going to strangle them with their own living guts! Am I right, Marines?"

terse lava
#

eh not my style, but may be amusing

cedar surge
#

Or you could be a different soldier fighting on harvest or be a Spartan during the retaking of harvest

terse lava
#

also technically, calling Johnson the"greenest" wouldn't that imply you are saying he's a greenhorn? 😛

#

well he's saying a halo game with a non-spartan player

cedar surge
#

Oh then a odst or marine during the harvest campaign

slow igloo
#

haha I see what you mean there. I just remember him saying "Then they must love the smell of green." To Arby after he advises them to leave sense the brutes have their scent.

cedar surge
#

A lot of things happened at harvest

paper hedge
#

Want to unlock Kat’s ❤️voiceline in Reach

slow igloo
#

Just thought itd be a cool idea to play as him. Id also love Arby to be playable again

paper hedge
#

HW should add Kat and Sarah Palmer as commanders

#

Which is your fav Halo book?

terse lava
#

why would Kat be a commander?

paper hedge
#

Because she’s badass?

slow igloo
#

cant deny with both Kat and Palmer being badasses but idk if Kat is commander material. Carter was the squad leader after all. And Palmer might be one of Halo's most unlikable characters yet so idk. Unfortunately I just dont think 343 did a good job writing her. But my favorite book is probably Halo: Evolutions. Stomping on the Hills of a Fuss was awesome. But Brutes are also my fav so I might be alittle biased. Does Rise of Atriox count? lol

terse lava
#

Kat was more the techie of the team, and none of them were really commander material for an army

next delta
#

how many spartans used mark 5 and 6

cedar surge
#

Kat was n9t really a leader. Palmer definantly could fit in

#

The didact and his prometheans would be a cool faction

slow igloo
#

Didact would be cool. Felt like he thrown away super fast. Same with Jul. 343 did not handle them well imo and thats such a shame. I liked them both
And Palmer was Commander Officer of the Spartans on Infinity. Still dont really care for her character tho.

cedar surge
#

Having the d idact trying to raise his prometheans army while also scavenging for leftover forerunner warships would have been cool

#

All the while foghting other factions

#

3 way war between prometheans,banished, and unsc/SoS

One character that deserves the spotlight is PFC Jenkins

cedar surge

Chips dubbo?

Dubbo is a running joke

Jenkins has the saddest backstory imo

frank copper

Why Jenkins

lethal comet

Seems like an interesting character that wasn't used much

He was with Johnson from 2525 till 2552

Yea Keyes is also apart of the flood hive mind right now

That's sad. Nearly everyone in CE dies to the flood or covenant
