@lethal comet
Half and hour

vague scroll Aug 17, 2020, 3:58 AM

lethal comet Aug 17, 2020, 3:58 AM

#

So are they catheterized in their tech suits

Cause you sure as hell can't catheterize someone in a matter of minutes

vague scroll Aug 17, 2020, 4:01 AM

sinful pollen Aug 17, 2020, 4:14 AM

But where does the waste go?

cedar surge Aug 17, 2020, 4:16 AM

You really want to know?

lethal comet Aug 17, 2020, 4:17 AM

#

The urine is most probably recycled for drinking

#

at the end of CE it shows johnson near the crash site of the autumn wrestling an elite, up to when the ship explodes, how is he still able to get off the ring?

Friendship

lethal comet Aug 17, 2020, 4:20 AM

#

@wispy wasp that ending is not canon

gilded mason Aug 17, 2020, 4:20 AM

#

That's just a non canon joke ending

wispy wasp Aug 17, 2020, 4:20 AM

#

oh, ok

lethal comet Aug 17, 2020, 4:20 AM

#

He was on a pelican

west silo Aug 17, 2020, 4:20 AM

#

Guilty spark flying away is though

lethal comet Aug 17, 2020, 4:20 AM

#

Read Halo First Strike

#

explains everything that happened after ce and fall of reach

west silo Aug 17, 2020, 4:22 AM

#

Chief went back to reach to turn the stove off

lethal comet Aug 17, 2020, 4:23 AM

#

He had an uber from the covenant

west silo Aug 17, 2020, 4:24 AM

#

Linda was taking a nap

lethal comet Aug 17, 2020, 4:31 AM

#

This time the covenant took the bomb on their own

#

And it won't explode till the next book

west silo Aug 17, 2020, 4:39 AM

#

Find out next on halo ring Z

hidden comet Aug 17, 2020, 4:44 AM

#

So if I wanted to get into more halo lore what will be a good place to go to?

west silo Aug 17, 2020, 4:48 AM

#

Books or halopedia or just watch halo canon

#

I recommend halo canon

lethal comet Aug 17, 2020, 4:53 AM

#

If you don't want to invest much in the books then

#

Halo mythos summarises the whole halo universe

#

From precursors to post war

#

really,that word i not allowed

#

Thats not even a swear word

versed helm Aug 17, 2020, 4:55 AM

#

what book do they kill the didact

#

after 4

west silo Aug 17, 2020, 4:58 AM

Primordium?

versed helm Aug 17, 2020, 4:59 AM

#

west silo Aug 17, 2020, 5:00 AM

#

Primordium is good but there's a lot of filler

#

Basically imagine able book for dora the explorer the book

versed helm Aug 17, 2020, 5:01 AM

Give the Gravemind a top hat and a handlebar mustache in Infinite

cedar surge Aug 17, 2020, 5:05 AM

#

west silo Aug 17, 2020, 5:06 AM

#

He comes back later to troll born

sinful pollen Aug 17, 2020, 5:06 AM

If he doesn't burst out in a Disney song then 0/10

cedar surge Aug 17, 2020, 5:06 AM

#

Where would he even get a top hat that big

#

Gravemind with a Spartan helmet though

versed helm Aug 17, 2020, 5:06 AM

#

captain keys was so cool in fall of reach

west silo Aug 17, 2020, 5:07 AM

#

And cole protocol

cedar surge Aug 17, 2020, 5:07 AM

#

Wonder if any covenant remnants made it their duty to become Spartan hunters

versed helm Aug 17, 2020, 5:07 AM

#

havnt read cole protocol

sinful pollen Aug 17, 2020, 5:07 AM

#

Don't they sell hats in the Domain? I thought it was a hat shop

cedar surge Aug 17, 2020, 5:07 AM

#

Like a group of elites deciding to hunt down spartans

#

Admiral Cole is cooler

west silo Aug 17, 2020, 5:08 AM

#

Hes also either dead or a deserter

sinful pollen Aug 17, 2020, 5:10 AM

#

The Didact only wanted to conduct music for his robot fans.

west silo Aug 17, 2020, 5:14 AM

#

Its funny that when cortana asked the gravemind why it spoke in poems it basically said because it can

versed helm Aug 17, 2020, 5:14 AM

#

poems are where its at

sinful pollen Aug 17, 2020, 5:15 AM

The fload actually infected William Shakespeare and Edger Alan Poe

west silo Aug 17, 2020, 5:17 AM

Its actually kinda cool that star roads are nothing more than giant shadows

versed helm Aug 17, 2020, 5:17 AM

#

why wasnt cortana on data hive in odst

west silo Aug 17, 2020, 5:17 AM

Isn't Halo Legends canon?

master cheif and 1337 doing hand to hand combat against atriox and the other guy

#

Isn't Halo Legends canon?```
The general plot for all *but* Odd One Out

#

Hence its name

vague scroll Aug 17, 2020, 5:26 AM

#

Odd One Out is the only one explicitly non canon and is done so with the mindset that it’s a Dragon Ball Z ripoff, designed by the anime studio that makes DBZ

sinful pollen Aug 17, 2020, 5:27 AM

#

So there's a chance he's canon grim

vague scroll Aug 17, 2020, 5:27 AM

#

No, your mind tricks shall not work here!! 😟 I refuse!

#

Jokes aside, Odd One Out is definitely not canon

sinful pollen Aug 17, 2020, 5:28 AM

#

Who's more powerful, Chief or Spartan 1337?

vague scroll Aug 17, 2020, 5:28 AM

No more nuke punch

sinful pollen Aug 17, 2020, 5:29 AM

#

I would loved if you're just exploring the ring in Infinite, then you enter a Scarab fight but see 1337 on the bird that carried him off crash into the scarab

versed helm Aug 17, 2020, 5:30 AM

#

ye

vague scroll Aug 17, 2020, 5:31 AM

#

From a fanfiction perspective, me and my buds over at Halopedia and Halo Fanon have been joking around with the idea that Odd one Out can be canon in-universe if it’s a kids tv show set within the halo universe

#

Kids in 2557 collecting Spartan-1337 action figures and pluton plushies

#

flood in halo infinite?

#

there are other 6 oracle aroud

#

yeah but 343 the coolest

sinful pollen Aug 17, 2020, 5:39 AM

#

T Rated flood

west silo Aug 17, 2020, 5:39 AM

#

That would only upset people off even more the reason we got here in the first place is because 343 couldn't stick to one plot line

versed helm Aug 17, 2020, 5:40 AM

#

on halo wars 1 there was flood and the infection was not erased

sinful pollen Aug 17, 2020, 5:40 AM

#

Just put the M rating back if we really are "going back to Halo's roots"

versed helm Aug 17, 2020, 5:40 AM

in halo 2 flood on the station are not erased so there are stilll flood around

SGT Johnson survived with Guilty Sparks but his body is in too bad of a shape so they make him into an AI for Chief.

he was too good at wargames so the other spartans kicked him out

Excluding time in cryo, he was most likely in his 40s

He looks really old

I guess the fate of the human race will do that to you

Halsey has to be up there in terms of age

Commander hood was born in 2490, so at the time of Infinite which is 2560, he's 70

#

Halsey was born in 2492 making her 2 years younger at 68

Margaret Parangosky is actually the oldest

she was 96 at the time of Halo 4

#

Serina you mean

sinful pollen Aug 17, 2020, 7:08 AM

#

yeah

west silo Aug 17, 2020, 7:09 AM

Serina died a year or so after wars

stable flower Aug 17, 2020, 7:09 AM

#

Oh I was like who the hell is Sophia lol

cedar surge Aug 17, 2020, 7:09 AM

#

Man now I feel bad for the SoF crew. Most of their families are probably gone

#

Or they were forgotten in the chaos in the war

stable flower Aug 17, 2020, 7:10 AM

#

How many troops does the SOF have left?

cedar surge Aug 17, 2020, 7:10 AM

#

Around half by halo wars 2

sinful pollen Aug 17, 2020, 7:10 AM

#

Imagine fighting a bunch of banished on the ring and you just see a Guardian teleport in being piloted by Anders

cedar surge Aug 17, 2020, 7:10 AM

#

That's what 5000 left?

west silo Aug 17, 2020, 7:10 AM

#

20,000 original

cedar surge Aug 17, 2020, 7:11 AM

#

The ship can hold 11 thousand crew

west silo Aug 17, 2020, 7:11 AM

#

10,000 by wars 2

cedar surge Aug 17, 2020, 7:11 AM

#

Ten thousand alone on a ship to fight the banished

west silo Aug 17, 2020, 7:11 AM

#

Oh no I was thinking of the shadow of intent

cedar surge Aug 17, 2020, 7:11 AM

#

Hey you know this kinda reminds me of the guerrilla war on the ring in CE

sinful pollen Aug 17, 2020, 7:11 AM

#

Don't ask how the troop generating mechanics worked, lol

cedar surge Aug 17, 2020, 7:12 AM

#

Except this time the unsc has orbital superiority

stable flower Aug 17, 2020, 7:12 AM

#

I kinda wanna see ATN from the UNSC perspective

west silo Aug 17, 2020, 7:12 AM

#

And can't really use it

cedar surge Aug 17, 2020, 7:12 AM

#

With 3 Spartans,a few thousand marines

#

Why not

west silo Aug 17, 2020, 7:12 AM

#

The ark is gonna get mad

cedar surge Aug 17, 2020, 7:12 AM

#

The SoF destroyed the banished ships

#

Oh come on its not like unsc orbital bombardment will cause as much damage

sinful pollen Aug 17, 2020, 7:13 AM

#

I wonder, would anyone on the Infinity even know what the Spirit of Fire is?

west silo Aug 17, 2020, 7:13 AM

#

Remember the enduring conviction

#

They don't want to risk it

cedar surge Aug 17, 2020, 7:13 AM

#

They managed to launch archer missiles at the ark in the first mission remember?

#

For orbital bombarding the banished

#

Well they know the SoF went missing after the battle of Arcadia and were not able to find it partially hoods fault

west silo Aug 17, 2020, 7:15 AM

#

Surface damage isn't bad its when they get below the surface it becomes dangerous

cedar surge Aug 17, 2020, 7:15 AM

#

So no mac strikes then

sinful pollen Aug 17, 2020, 7:15 AM

#

I would imagine them salvaging a slip space drive from downed ships on the ark left over from Halo 3 to get out of there.

stable flower Aug 17, 2020, 7:15 AM

#

I wonder what they were doing when the Flood were released

west silo Aug 17, 2020, 7:15 AM

#

What downed ships

#

I doubt they can use covenant slip drives

sinful pollen Aug 17, 2020, 7:16 AM

#

I'm sure there's some downed UNSC ship on the Ark.

versed helm Aug 17, 2020, 7:16 AM

#

there are

stable flower Aug 17, 2020, 7:16 AM

#

And I'd like to see their reactions to seeing the Flood and learning about them

versed helm Aug 17, 2020, 7:16 AM

#

who's reaction?

cedar surge Aug 17, 2020, 7:16 AM

#

There are was what one unsc frigate at the battle for the ark?

stable flower Aug 17, 2020, 7:17 AM

#

There were only 2 UNSC ships that went to the Ark, right?

#

The SOF crew reactiin

#

Reaction*

west silo Aug 17, 2020, 7:17 AM

#

And there both gone

sinful pollen Aug 17, 2020, 7:17 AM

#

but with a slipspace drive powerful enough for the SOF? idk

cedar surge Aug 17, 2020, 7:17 AM

#

Plus you can't just slap a slipspace drive from a covenant ship onto a human ship

west silo Aug 17, 2020, 7:17 AM

#

They already met the flood

versed helm Aug 17, 2020, 7:17 AM

#

i mean i don't think they'd be super shocked, they've faced the flood many times

carmine sleet Aug 17, 2020, 7:17 AM

#

Plus you can't just slap a slipspace drive from a covenant ship onto a human ship
I mean, they kinda did do that in First Strike (With the help from some Engineers)

cedar surge Aug 17, 2020, 7:18 AM

#

Yea with help from engineers

stable flower Aug 17, 2020, 7:18 AM

#

I meant to say seeing the Flood again

cedar surge Aug 17, 2020, 7:18 AM

#

But not by themselves

west silo Aug 17, 2020, 7:18 AM

#

Engineers is the key word

versed helm Aug 17, 2020, 7:18 AM

#

as i said i don't think they'd be that shocked

cedar surge Aug 17, 2020, 7:18 AM

#

They would have to stop engineers from trying to kill them and somehow convince them to help them

#

To use that slipspace drive

#

Plus what's the point

stable flower Aug 17, 2020, 7:19 AM

#

Isabel will probably fill them in offscreen like she did about Forerunners

cedar surge Aug 17, 2020, 7:19 AM

#

They can't let the banished take over the ark

versed helm Aug 17, 2020, 7:19 AM

#

about what? they know about the flood

west silo Aug 17, 2020, 7:19 AM

#

And banished engineers are kinda sadistic

stable flower Aug 17, 2020, 7:19 AM

#

They know them, but not by name

cedar surge Aug 17, 2020, 7:20 AM

#

Plus the ark is probably already buildinh a replacement for zeta halo

carmine sleet Aug 17, 2020, 7:20 AM

#

They would have to stop engineers from trying to kill them and somehow convince them to help them
Engineers are peaceful, they don't try killing anything

cedar surge Aug 17, 2020, 7:20 AM

#

You havnt met banished engineers

carmine sleet Aug 17, 2020, 7:20 AM

Zeta's damaged, not destroyed

west silo Aug 17, 2020, 7:20 AM

#

Voridus engineers does

stable flower Aug 17, 2020, 7:20 AM

#

Infused Engineers are known to act out

#

Or something like that

cedar surge Aug 17, 2020, 7:20 AM

#

Yea the banished did messed up things to engineers

#

These engineers are not peaceful

west silo Aug 17, 2020, 7:21 AM

#

Even sabotaging there weopeans

versed helm Aug 17, 2020, 7:21 AM

#

well the banished are... uhm... messed up

carmine sleet Aug 17, 2020, 7:21 AM

#

Those are a specific group of Engineers within the Banished, not all of the Banished Engineers

cedar surge Aug 17, 2020, 7:21 AM

#

How do you know?

#

I think engineers are treated worse in the banished than in the covenant

west silo Aug 17, 2020, 7:22 AM

#

Well it does say the normal engineers avoid voridus engineers

versed helm Aug 17, 2020, 7:22 AM

#

the huragok weren't made to be violent

stable flower Aug 17, 2020, 7:22 AM

Anyway they know what the Flood are, they just don't know that they're 'called' the Flood.

cedar surge Aug 17, 2020, 7:22 AM

A unsc AI is not in virgil

stable flower Aug 17, 2020, 7:24 AM

#

I have. No one said the name 'Flood' in that. Not even the shield world AI, who calls them a "high order infection" instead. Have YOU not played Halo Wars 1? And if you did, have you not listened to the dialogue?

cedar surge Aug 17, 2020, 7:24 AM

#

There was a AI on that shield world?

carmine sleet Aug 17, 2020, 7:24 AM

Virgil gets their name from the AI subroutine it merged with when it was trying to fix the Superintendent of New Mombasa during ODST

stable flower Aug 17, 2020, 7:25 AM

Didn't the SoF get scattered marines and personnel on the ark

#

The ones that survived the banished

stable flower Aug 17, 2020, 7:28 AM

They have to have at least 2000 troops left due to the Flood

Are you referring to the ones that Alice-130 saved? They were from the SoF and just got captured by the Banished

#

They have to have at least 2000 troops left due to the Flood
Where are you pulling this number from?

stable flower Aug 17, 2020, 7:31 AM

#

I'm assuming. You fight quite a lot of infected Marines and UNSC vehicles in ATN

west silo Aug 17, 2020, 7:32 AM

#

Theres only one unsc enemy in ATN an I was a recon team

carmine sleet Aug 17, 2020, 7:32 AM

#

Better not to assume. The Flood only got out during Awakening the Nightmare because of the actions of Voridus, the UNSC didn't go inside the quarantine zone around the wreckage of High Charity

stable flower Aug 17, 2020, 7:38 AM

Halopedia says they have 5,500 crew members, 2,000 of them ground troops. Dunno if that's accurate.

Also, I think 1/3 of their troops are on the new Halo judging by the large number of units you get in Last Stand.

west silo Aug 17, 2020, 7:40 AM

Funny you mention monkeys because in Tagalog, their word for monkey is "Unggoy"

But I'd say while there are similarities between the Grunts and rabbits in terms of how fast they reproduce, there isn't really any single species that lives on Earth they can be compared to

SPI didn't have shielding

an actual SPI variant in the game would not function like it did in the books so it would already break that aspect

humble yacht Aug 18, 2020, 12:43 AM

not sure if non-spartans can fully utilize SPI

MJOLNIR was only compatible with Spartans because non spartans would rip themselves apart in it

SPI was only semi powered but still powered

would probably injure a non spartan to use it

From the cinematics in spartan ops it seems that or current Gen 2 armor that it takes roughly 5-7 minutes to equip and take off their armor with assistance from the armor stations

(I need to pick up a copy of The Flood when I have the money)

Ah

leaden cobalt Aug 18, 2020, 1:37 AM

#

That's why I like the sleek look of Mk IV/4 mjolnir armor in Halo Wars that Red Team wears since it gives off a good impression that it wouldn't take as long as Mk V mjolnir which might be due to the lack shielding technology since its not as bulky as well

What is the mantle of responsibility?

fair hazel Aug 18, 2020, 4:30 AM

Guardianship for all living things lies with those whose evolution is most complete. The Mantle of Responsibility shelters all.

Ah I see and I'm supposing humans were supposed to have it or some

oh heck, he hasnt even read the flood

cedar surge Aug 18, 2020, 5:24 AM

The mantle is flawed in itself

All it would do is cause conflict

gilded mason Aug 18, 2020, 5:25 AM

#

Ye

sinful pollen Aug 18, 2020, 5:26 AM

#

I mean, the only races to ever hold it have been the Precursors, Forerunners, and Created

gilded mason Aug 18, 2020, 5:26 AM

#

It's an inherently racist ideology

cedar surge Aug 18, 2020, 5:27 AM

#

The created deluded themselves into believing they deserve the mantle

#

Yea it lets one race think they are better than all others

#

Even the created are being arrogant thinking they could properly hold the mantle because they are AI

#

Can the mantle even be dropped? Its a ideology right? Doesn't that mean any race can just say they have the mantle of responsibility?

gilded mason Aug 18, 2020, 5:32 AM

#

Doesn't that mean any race can just say they have the mantle of responsibility?
Just as easily as somebody declaring, "Okay, we're kings of the galaxy now. Follow us or face the consequences!"

sinful pollen Aug 18, 2020, 5:32 AM

#

Has the Mantle ever been shown to be something Physical that is held by a Race or is it just an idea?

gilded mason Aug 18, 2020, 5:32 AM

#

The latter

west silo Aug 18, 2020, 5:34 AM

#

Basically once u control the galaxy u control the mantle

cedar surge Aug 18, 2020, 5:35 AM

#

No I think a person could just say they hold the mantle of responsibility

west silo Aug 18, 2020, 5:35 AM

#

Or that's the forerunners interpretation at least

#

One person can't hold the mantle it has to be an entire species or race

cedar surge Aug 18, 2020, 5:37 AM

#

Also I hope humanity abandons the mantle because I would say "humanity superior,alien inferior" are not that interesting,and two they realise that holding the mantle will probably make other races and factions go after them

#

I'm not actually sure why we were destined for the mantle in the first place

gilded mason Aug 18, 2020, 5:38 AM

#

Also I hope humanity abandons the mantle
I think John outright calling it a terrible thing bodes well for that.

If anything the engineers did the least bad things

im pretty sure i heard that wrong

but can someone please clarify that part?

lethal comet Aug 18, 2020, 6:52 AM

#

We still don't know what the auditorium is

#

There's no mention of it in primordium and silentium

#

Could be referring to mendicant's old housing

#

Cause he could control the whole ring from there

knotty mesa Aug 18, 2020, 8:17 AM

#

Given the library houses the index maybe the auditorium is a different control suite

#

Maybe for the sentinels or something

lethal comet Aug 18, 2020, 8:21 AM

Don't forget that zeta is different from other installations

In lone wolf we find a lot of unknown dead spartans in mjolnir mk5

One of them had the team and they had to make a random slip space jump to avoid the covenant and ended up at a undisturbed ring

lethal comet Aug 18, 2020, 12:05 PM

I want to know where abject testament was the whole time

nimble crest Aug 18, 2020, 12:11 PM

#

The covenant followed through the same slip space jump and the frigate crashed behind the big mountain in forge world that has a face, but enough supplies were able to be saved and the ground forces were met with a monitor, that was able to teleport most supplies to the area titled coliseum in the map, and spent a week repairing equipment, and nursing injured personnel. The covenant spent that week believing the crash was completely dead, but they were just hiding. The frigate held a large sum of troopers and equipment, along with one of the components of the slip space being intact.

#

This installation had two monitors, one to construct and repair, and one to manage

So in Broken Circle it’s said that the way to Sanghelios has been lost, wiped or whatever. But Halo 5 you are fighting on the surface. Is this an error?

The way to Sanghelios was lost to the Ussans when the Refuge was dismantled, not to everyone in the Covenant

Do you mean in general as that’s because of their augmentations, but if you mean in battle well in most cases they either sacrificed themselves or were overwhelmed by opposing forces

Well, Spartan 4s will never be the same as spartan 2s or 3s because of the immense and immoral training. The Spartan 2s and 3s are also more likely to be sociopaths, which increases their effectiveness in combat.

Spartan IVs exist because a former spartan II realized the importance of Spartans to the safety of humanity
