His eye laser would have been mighty handy
Tbh they did that to both her and johnson
Staten was really opposed to it
staten was, because he's an actually good writer.
and marty? yeah man i love ya and your music but leave the writing to the people who know how to write, yeah?
@craggy sierra well that would be heartless
Rtas tried glassing it
That would kill Johnson
Man what is it with unsc captains putting themselves in the frontline
then got High Chrityed
Did he though?
You know
He did "Now prophet, your end has come"
The Keyes are pretty suicidal
brought the carrier over the building, and then got hit by high charity chunk
They both led assaults they really didn't need to
meh.
Talk about bad luck
they also both released the flood in a worse way
"Hey, let's go into this creepy building with dead covies, surely nothing bad here"
like i said, marty should have stuck to the music
Poor In Amber Clad. Awesome ship name and music associated with it.
Wait a minute why did Miranda go for the index by herself again!!!!
I thought Marty only did the music
He was part of Halo 3's writing group
I thought Marty only did the music
marty played a pivotal role for the story.
for some reason.
Poor In Amber Clad. Awesome ship name and music associated with it.
@gilded mason
Ha I bet it was feeling lucky
here's a fun question, what if the Covenant had found Genesis?
@gilded mason eh,there are hundreds of other unsc frigates
we still have the Shadow of Intent Ostral π
Yes, indeed
it's better
Hey ostral didn't you know about the IAC 2?
we don't need any blocky ship
Truth&Rec is Babe though
More like Parks&Rec, amiright?
Man the Marathons are great ship designs but Jesus the window is just one big shoot me sign
Park&Wreck works too
Spirit of fire
"We can rebuild this cruiser, make it better then before"
The SoF could stomp the IAC
HC could stomp everything
Spartan team with nova bomb stomps harder
tell that to Reach
Wish we knew more on those ships from Broken Circle
or better, got them in FleetBattles
The ones on the cover?
That people thought were frigates
I...don't recall anyone thinking that
They kinda did match the description a little
those ships on the cover though are 3400 years old
none of which match those vessels
Some of the ships in halo 5 are elites ships from before they made the covenant and there functioning pretty well
Do universal translators exist in halo
Im just trying to find out how elites learn to speak english with them having no lips and all
π
Why dont the unsc capture grunts
I feel the unsc could benefit from having grunts around
What benefit do grunts give
You look away for a second and they steal your food nipple
they're kamikaze units
Ah yes
The most important advantage
Scuicidal soldiers
Also the sidekick is massive in chiefs hands
So imagine how big it would be for a normal person
Yea
Also I think the new guns still have the siding issue
Grunts are used as slave labor whenever they are captured
Yea
Grunts always get the short end of the stick dont they
its not like they can reach the long end
@versed helm tell that to yapyap
Can anyone explain why or whats witthe usage of depleted uranium rounds for heavy weapons in the UNSC Arsenal. Was it because of the sharpness of the metal or something? Im really blanked when it comes into those
really dense material
Yea
where was blue team during halo 5?
they were in halo 5 with chief.
ODST is more of a standalone spinoff for halo 3, its not an entire series of games on its own.
because bungie wanted it to be that way and because like said, spinoff.
because the graphics would be expected to be better on a new console
why dos odst look so different from 2
thanks
why are the pods smalller
how tf is there a dayn night cycle on a ring?!!!!!
ODST looks different to Halo 2 because the graphics are better. Plus, they wanted to go for a neo noir style for the night time, hence all the neon signs and lights
how tf is there a dayn night cycle on a ring?!!!!!
Halos are rotating and are normally in orbit around a planet that orbits a star
in orbit around a planet that orbits a star
An object orbiting around a sun has two sides, one light, one dark, for example, Earth, one side of the planet is in day time, the other, night. Add on the moon, Luna, which is orbiting Earth right now and there's always going to be a side that sees the sun while the other side doesn't
The same is true for the Halos and the planets they orbit
what
but its a circle
if one side has day its still gonna shine through the whole ring
idk
π π
i dont get it
r u saying like when it orbits and the ring is like facing the sum like
π
thats how theres a night?
theres supposed to be a sun under the ring
warden just doesnt like me
but how would there be a day
and a night at same time
You do understand the basic day/night cycle, right?
yes
Ok, now apply that to a Halo
is the halo ring that big for the sunlight to only get hlf
Odst used the same engine as 3
is the halo ring that big for the sunlight to only get hlf
Half the ring will be facing away and not get direct light from a star
Size isn't important
is the halo ring that big for the sunlight to only get hlf
you know how the earth has a day-night cycle? same thing here.
well, almost the same.
And yes, a Halo is a ring world opposed to a spherical world but the basic idea is the same
it'll be interesting to see if we actually experience the cycle as opposed to how it was in CE
i guess im just too smooth brain to understand
i think i get it now actually
π π
great.
halos orbit a planet or sun like any other planetary body.
but yes.
id honesty prefer if it were like in ringworld.
like slip said, its the same principal.
id honesty prefer if it were like in ringworld.
in ringworld its like, a Dyson sphere would completely encapsulate a star and the ringworld would be like a hula hoop around the star.
so there is no natural night cycle, since the sun is always directly overhead regardless of where or which side you are on. so the engineers placed a series of these large metallic square things which orbited the sun directly overhead of the ring.
That way they'd get artificial day/night cycles, but theres no setting sun, just a shadow getting closer and closer, and then instantly night as one of the squares passes directly overhead.
thats wrong
if rings are in the sun how is it alive
yeahh
i got you there
π
ringworlds are not in the sun.
..what
the ringworld would be like a hula hoop around the star.
ok then where are the primordials huh?
the "primordial" wont be on a ringworld, its a different universe.
the ringworlds are the inspiration for the halo rings.
bruh
its a book, read it.
i have read all the books
ringworld by Larry Niven
its even said in contact harvest
i have read all the books
and this, is not a halo book.
oh yeah?
yes, google it.
then how is mastercheif and al lthe animals dont float off
so they have to be in a sun
...what
think about it
i think youre a bit confused, what exactly do you think i was talking about?
the ring
what ring?
any of them
i was not taking about a halo ring.
i was talking about the novel, ringworld which happens to be the source of inspiration for halo rings.
yes, i explicitly stated that multiple times.
No

which is weird because unlike ringworlds, halo rings dont have a dyson sphere for energy/light.
no, halo rings orbit a planet or sun like any other planetary body
Contact Harvest isn't set on a Halo ring
what slip said
uhuh.
Which book is that the story was fire
the story was..fire?
yes, that is contact harvest.
contact harvest is a great book.
joe staten?
i dont know what joe you are talking about.
could you specify who this joe is?
Probably staten
i asked him if its staten and the guy's like "No", taham.
Joe mama
Where is joe
in reach...jorge?
No
Are you trolling us dude
probably.
Im not
Never mind
Ill just replay the games lateer
Why arnt the rings in halo reach?
....
was this solved?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bBuP039tzjQ
Wheres is warden eternal also
Because Halo Reach focused on the planet Reach?
Why arnt the rings in halo reach?
halo reach was about the fall of planet reach.
No not solved
No not solved
@versed helm F
Another unsolved mystery ii guess
alright start chipping in we'll get the answer or something
What
bribe the head honcho into spilling the facts
No
idk you got a better idea
Ye ess
bet
Solve it like a man would use use science
Duh
This discord i swearπ
Why didnt master cheif have mk 6 in ce
Solve it like a man would use use science
@versed helm there are people still trying to solve it but to no avail
Ok and?
Why didnt master cheif have mk 6 in ce
@versed helm probably still in development at the time
It was in reach
Why didnt master cheif have mk 6 in ce
Mark VI wasn't finished yet
Ok and?
@versed helm no progress in a long time
If master cheifs armour is sooooo expensive where was the armour abilities
uhhh
I havnt played halo in years π
rip
In my head canon armor abilities are prototypes of covenant armor modules but all of them were destroyed during fall of reach
^
Then why was it in ce?
It wasn't
In my head canon armor abilities are prototypes of covenant armor modules but all of them were destroyed during fall of reach
there's a good reason why thats just head canon.

Prove it
Noble team got mjolnir stuff before s-IIs
Would make sense that they got prototypes first
No
Mjolnir MkV i meant
Prove it
we know that what taham said isnt official and is just head canon.
i dont need to prove anything.
Some things are best left unaddressed
Wrong
Not everything needs to have a canon explanation
Noble team got mjolnir stuff before s-IIs
Would make sense that they got prototypes first
makes sense i guess, but i still dont see them having the armor abilities they did in 5.
Maybe they improved upon the abilities for gen 2
Science says otherwise
Lets just imagine armor abilities didnt exist in reach @round comet
im talking particularly about the ones in halo 5
You are starting to feel more and more like a troll @versed helm
yep.
Ill just do my own research i guess
nice.
Ew
halo 4 on PC will be dope
Gross
and i imagine it would be an easier game for 343 to port
Finally high resolution ma dude
because 1) it doesnt have spaghetti code, 2) they made the game
which could mean less porting bugs
yeah.
Last time i played halo 4 all my friends said it sucked and left
oh the multiplayer is by no means "good"
its pretty ok even if you get over the fact that it has killstreaks and stuff.
The speedrun is cool
which is fair.
right.
π
you arent allowed to say stuff like that.
Im not?
nope.
Sorry to hurt fealings i edited it
It has the best terminals as well
indeed.
But they shouldnt have changed forward unto dawns design
Nope
i dont see why halo fans dont like the main character of a narrative being an actual character, lol.

i mean even in the OG trilogy he did talk during cutscenes and had that subtle personality but...it wasnt enough.
stop using that emote.
Yes sir


Frank's best image is as Hamish Beamish
yeah lol.
Imma say thursday war
Nice
Most people disagree with me tho
mine is either cryptum or silentium.
Yeah silentelium pretty cool
Nice you didnt even acknowledge primordium
Why do people hate on kilo five triology so much
the precursor-forerunner era is my main area of interest in the halo universe so yeah.
Chief isnt in a lot of books
Why do people hate on kilo five triology so much
At its core is a good story to explore, but the perspective to do so is far too narrow.
I loved the Jul M'dama segments
Ok and?
They make you sympathize with him
Jul M'dama is like the shining jewel of the Kilo Five trilogy.
And thursday war did a great job of teasing h4
If it were just Mortal Dictata, where Karen was clearly telling the story she wanted to tell without and tie-in caveats, I'd be more positively inclined towards it.
Hmmm no
And @versed helm some of the best halo books dont feature chief
most dont.
Like what?
Broken circle is a frickin master piece
Chief is not required to tell a good Halo story
I know
So why are you saying Broken Circle is bad because Chief isn't in it?
Halo legendsHalo legendsHalo legendsHalo legendsHalo legendsHalo legendsHalo legendsHalo legendsHalo legends
The world doesnt revolve around chief
Most of Halo Legends is focused on characters other than Chief
Chief only appears in two of them
cryptum, primordium, silentium, broken circle, renegades, shadows of intent, ghosts of onyx
just to name a few.
Yea
(those are actually my top 7 lol)
No there not
(wait actually move primordium down to third)
When are we gonna actually talk about lore
Yes
So shield worlds have suns inside of them
Does that mean that they have shielding inside to stop the sun from burning everything?
The ring in CE was blown up by Chief detonating the Autumn's engines
I don't think the artificial suns are actual 'stars'
@cedar surge dyson spheres.
I think he meant worlds like etran harbourage @round comet
The dyson sphere stars are already one astronomical unit away from the surface
Whose opinion? Because Dyson Spheres, such as Onyx, are massive on the inside so that allows for a star to exist on the inside
@versed helm Are you good bud?
If youβre here to troll this isnβt really the place to do it
Because Dyson Spheres, such as Onyx, are massive on the inside so that allows for a star to exist on the inside
this.
Requiemβs sun was a fake sun
What about the one in halo wars?
Wellbthe spirit of fire was like near inside the star at one point
O I guess its fake too
Actually where did forge go with the bomb?
in halo wars also we had a type of micro dyson sphere
Not really a dyson sphere
and it was an artificial sun
Kind of like the sun on the ark
Not really a dyson sphere
it was a dyson sphere
Iirc etran harborage did not have a slipspace event inside leading to another system like onyx did
I slashed that
I was about to say the same thing
Like they went into this sorta Forerunner tunnel that was under the βplanetβsβ surface
Whereas Requiemβs initial surface is just all metallic but where the gravity well is, was the entrance to it
Theyβre kinda similar but also kinda different in how they have different layers and how to access them
Maybe requiem had different security measures since it was a military installation
Etran harbourage was like a ship storage, requiem was promethean hq
Promethean HQ π
Cant find a better word for that
My bad
@versed helm You need some sleep my man
You think spartan IIs ever took organic chem?
Maybe one of the washouts that wasn't later brought into active duty?
I mean, whatβs the highest level education equivalent spartan IIs reached?
Did they get the equivalent of a high school education? College?
Why is the G79H pelican called a mobile armory
Well, we know that they were taught at least some history, given that we've seen Deja teaching them about various historical battles
Why is the G79H pelican called a mobile armory
Guns. Lots of guns
Like, that thing had weapon compartments on the side that you could use in Shutdown (Not that I use them these days given that most the level can be skipped completely)
They probably have the equivalent of a college graduate
Why
They don't even get a seat belt
And don't get any protection
Who designed this
A lot of halo vehicles are poorly designed
A scorpion tank would be a sitting duck in a modern battlefield for example
Too high of a profile and crew of only one
Not to mention having a rather weak 90 mm main cannon
What about the grizzly
Thats even worse of a design
Two main guns is horribly impractical
Not to mention all the other problems that comes with the scorpion
Most of the time, designs are following the rule of cool opposed to anything actually practical
Mammoth stomps tho
Mac gun and turrets
Plus it could just run you over
Mobile command center
They should fit the scorpions with gauss guns
Thery have
They already did it with the Hannibal variants
I hope the Hannibal variants become the main versions someday
Because they are better
Ah I love it
The XM820B4. Such a long technical name
Its nice but i like the classic design of the old scorpion
Makes me smile
Ok, but the Hannibal Mantis though. That thing is a work of art
Theres lots of chassis for the M808 xD I seriously dont know what one I prefer
Have you guys seen how marines sit on the jump seat on the hornet
I think the Wars 2's M808S is probably my favorite variant of the 808 family.
Though I'd be lying if I said I didn't want to see the 808B2 Sun Devil in one of the FPS games at some point.
I hope 343 actually does something with t hem like putting them into production and not leave them in development hell
Or worse
They can sit on it without seat belts while it is going at like 50 kmph and ignoring the recoil of firing a sniper or rocket launcher
Magnets so strong that they can handle recoil from the fuel rod
And the acceleration of the hornet
Gotta say
The rhino is my least favorite unsc ground vehicle
Its a scorpion body with extra tracks
Also why does the mantis get shielding but the tanks can't?
Agree
Also why does the mantis get shielding but the tanks can't?
Less area to cover
And you cant shield the tank tracks
Iβm only now realizing that thing is basically just a Falcon cockpit on legs.
A shade turret that can be deployed from orbit
Doesnt look practical
When do you guys think the elite brute war will end
It has mostly
I'm interested in seeing that war
Just minor skirmishes here and there
Elites and brutes mainly fought over what remained of the covenant and basic resources
So the dust was settling before the created came and shot everyone in the back
Was emiles kukri issued or did he get it himself
Unknown
Unsc biological weapons?
Thinking not
Probably donβt know enough about the covenant biology to make a weapon targeted for biological weapons
ONI tried but it didnβt pan out
Hereβs a question, if Jun didnβt go with Halsey, how would he have died? Anybody have a alternate universe prediction?
Stabbed by his own knfiexwhebn falling from a high place
He lays in position waiting for the perfect shot for too long and dies of natural causes
He hides in a cave and chokes to death on is ghillie bib
Ends up in an eternal game of cat and mouse with a H2 kig-yar sniper
jun vs linda vs H2 jackal sniper in a sniper battle
Linda, easy
Yeah Linda will win
Itβll be a close battle if anything
Linda is by far a better sniper than Jun
Wonder if he will put on his armor again to fight the banished
I cant see jun in the new armor
Wonder if he will put on his armor again to fight the banished
I cant see jun in the new armor
I mean. It's heavily implied that the VIGILIANT-class armor was designed at his request, and it's pretty much a straightforward upgrade of his custom Scout armor to GEN2 standards, so... he'd basically be going into combat in new armor, if the need arises.
Why do people still spell Jun like June. I donβt understand
Itβs in the game. There is not really any excuse
Sometimes autocorrect adds the E and people are too lazy to correct or donβt notice
Hmm. I guess thatβs fair. Doesnβt happen to me that often but thatβs probably because my keyboard has gotten used to me typing Jun so much
If Jun wears new armor or old it has to have ghillie from concept
Hm?
Basically, a Grunt lost its nerves and shot at some humans in Harvest which Kickstarted the HCW
June should have similar armour
June is da best
but there is not a lot of lore
Jun gets autocorrected to other things like Jim and June and. Jin and Him and jun.
I don't know why but a spartan called jim is funny
also its called the hydra system
Nah
Explain what?
Why I donβt want Joe in Halo Infinite. I mean it is self explanatory just by typing this out
I get that most people dont like him but cmon hes funny
who is joe
Joe mama!ππ€£π
You read the books
Hes in a couple of em
Hes pretty infamous
I donβt think thereβs a Joe in a couple of the books
I think there is
Do you mind telling us which ones?
What a coincidence. You have to look them up
If youβre so confident heβs in the books, then you should know if the tip of your head which ones
Letβs stop the , trolling now, or whatever it is @versed helm
Im not
Then answer my question
I wanted to see how long I could drag this out, but youβre bailing when I call you out on it
Enough.
so the grunt that stared the HCW
where did he go
He died.
Somewhere on Harvest.
Donβt bypass word filter.
Frik
But the first covenant species member to have killed a human was a huragok ironically enough
He took a, was it fire extinguisher? No thatβs the captain
He had like a type of rock was it? Then flung it at the captain that attacked the poor brave grunt.
He flung a rock the grunt had taight him game
They dont like.violence but his grunt friend was getting beat
I believe so
was to a rock
August 30, 2552
The Covenant, despite suffering heavy losses, win one with a landslide victory at the Fall of Reach. Many of the remaining SPARTAN-IIs are killed. Billions of lives are lost in the largest genocide in human history
Yesterday was the fall of reach day
happy... anniversery?
π₯³
π
5 centuries and 32 year early anniversary
Nope
celebrating the -532nd anniversary of the Fall of Reach
Yes its eventually recolonized
fall of veniza when
By the 2600s New Alexandria is rebuilt
Yeah. It happens a lot later than where the current timeline is
How come some brutes are hairy some arnt
like in 40 years
Because they shave
well brutes do come all over from a planet
why donβt all humans look the same?
I guess
What about H3/ODST Brutes?
You can shoot their helmets off
And toes
What about HW2 Brutes then?
But they prob look shaved without it
I dont really like en
But i do like there role
Design is alright with me
They look buff and tough
The Reach Brutes are thicker and tougher looking than Halo 3 Brutes
They look malnourished
Youu csn see like every bome in the face
Nah
He made it using parts from the Executionerβs energy sword. Itβs a mace btw, not a hammer
Is mace not a type of hammer?
Not as far as I know.
they're both blunt weapons but they are different
Yea
maces don't have a "face" and can be swung in any direction
hammers need to be swung in a particular way to be most effective
so the unsc knew about the banishedd during the war right?
He made it using parts from the Executionerβs energy sword. Itβs a mace btw, not a hammer
Can't find any sources saying that
all it says is he made it out of a gravity hammer
It has red blades and he took the red-bladed energy sword from the Executioner
I think i saw that somewhere too
thats not a lot of evidence
I didnβt say he made Chainbreaker entirely from the sword.
But itβs clear he used parts of it.
i'm just saying there is no source saying he specifically used the executioner blade in its construction
Itβs a pretty obvious deduction
did the arbiter take tarturus hammer after killing him?
I dont play halo wars but i think i remember somthin like that
did the arbiter take tarturus hammer after killing him?
probably not
Nobody knows what happened to the Fist of Rukt
well aint it the first hammer
Fist of Rukt was the symbol for the Chieftain for all Brutes
passed down from leader to leader
(or taken by force)
Thatβs speculation. Not a confirmed canon stone bric
Itβs so obvious
not really
Yes really
Wrinkly brain
there is a entire group of elites who also use red swords
Thatβs irrelevant
yes it is relevant
just because the blade is red does not mean its the exacutioners blade
Atriox literally took the red energy sword of his Executioner and was later seen with red-bladed Chainbreaker.
It has red blades and he took the red-bladed energy sword from the Executioner
@feral perch
He didnβt encounter the Silent Shadow until after he made Chainbreaker.

still im hoping that infinite that there will be HW2 banished unit and not just more covenant rank units
well...
We beat the covenant twice
the banished have elites and brutes
I know
with the brutes in the lead
π
but yea
prometheans were a attempt to get out of the covenants shadow
which did not go well
Not all Elites are going to agree, they aren't a hivemind, some Elites are still going to want to fight against humanity
Ye
no other faction can shape up to the amount of depth the cvenant have
Are there any flat planets in halo
i tink a forerunner structure

i hope we will see the inside of a firebase in infinite
Nah
Hopedully id be cool
I hope ai in forge
Custom games would be sick
I hope grunts will be free
Story wose
I still wanna foght them
grunts are already free
the whole race aint enslaved
they are apart of every major faction
the unsc made a embassy to interact with them
Oh
The Unggoy have been subjugated by Cortana, and theyβve been pressed into service by the Banished. Theyβre not, as a people, free.
Grunts always being pressed into stuff
so cortana is just enslaving everyone
Yeah
Iβm pretty sure the relationship between the unggoy and the created is better than that...
yea i think for some reason the created gave them supplies
the grunts on Bahalo bowed to her, but not all of them
for instance the Grunts in the Banished did not
the grnts are going to be working for everyone by the time halo is over
probably not too dissimilar to modern justice systems in western culture
Who was the tallest spartan ?
i think kurt
8β2β
I heard Douglas is considered tall compared to other II's as well.
Heβs 7β4β
does veniza have a defense fleet?
Probably a tiny one.
and not that well organized
ripe for raiding then
Probably not
They might not have a defense fleet but theyβre not defenseless
ODPs?
They donβt have those
But unless you have a massive fleet, you canβt just roll up and take whatever you want
Any faction with the power to do that isnβt going to be interested in raiding Venezia
Thereβs a big black market there and so thereβs lots of dangerous things that can be used to defend the surface
the people of venezia are very possessive
vicious thieves?
Teen master chief vs random ODSTs
better get the biofoam ready
Thereβs humans, Jackals, Brutes, and probably Grunts co-existing on Venezia.
why didnt jul attack then
He killed one of them right?
he had forces large enough to threaten the SoS
actually where did jul get his fleets
its not like you can hide a warship as big as those
And a a lot of them were from Hesduros
they didnt hide them
they thought the ships didnt work
they had a junkyard which had those ships
actually where did jul get his fleets
Through various means, such as black markets, shipyards and sometimes just straight up stealing stuff
why would yo not break the ships down
just in case you need them
thats asking for thr ships to be yoinked
which they did
Heck, it's believed the Harvester seen in Halo 4 was acquired from a black market sale in Renegades, if it's meant to be the same Harvester anyway
which led to jul's wife getting rekt
why would yo not break the ships down
Breaking down ships takes time, you need to make sure nothing valuable is in them, such as fuel and other resources that could be salvaged, not to mention the aforementioned reason from Forthencho
i was not expecting that many known human colonies on halopedia
it must be around 200
Are their demonyms for colonies? Like Harvest > Harvester? Reach > Reacher? Meridian > Meridianan?
No, Reach residents are canonically known as "Reavians"
reachling has a nice ring to it, tho
maybe, Reachers is tacky but in the same vein
reavers
Earthling.
Gao>Gaon
Ringer
eridanus>eridanusite
Could a grunt rip the arm off a elite?
no
No. I normal human? Yes, an Elite? Not a chance, even if it was unconscious. Think Yap Yap in the Halo book, The Flood. It took several of them to drag that Elite back to the drop ship.
Well you say that but the strength of the Covenant's forces is varied.
If Grunts were allowed to actually live long enough and be educated, what are the chances that some could learn advance military tactics in lieu of being officers?
iirc, Grunts are rather smart but the ones we see in games are basically child soldiers
Stolt is an example of a very strong Unggoy, he even outranks some of the crew on Rtas' ship.
Heβs the leader of a group of Sangheili Rangers iirc
Yes, he is.
Grunts only live like 30 or so years though, I think
So if there's a BR75, I wonder if there's a BR65.
Most likely there was.
Does anyone other than the Spartans actually like Halsey?
Keyes did.
Hood also likes her. And I assume Mendez did outside of Kilo-5.
And according to Parangosky in GoO, she had a lot of admirers in either ONI or the UNSC brass in general.
I have a suspicion that Johnson liked her
Between her intellect and those in higher up command positions, she would otherwise have been killed years ago
Idk, it just seems like the media I've seen her in so far she's just catty
I guess we do usually see her in stressful situations
Woman spent very little time trying to be nice. On the plus side, you almost always knew where she stood
"Yes, ma'am."
"And for God's sake," she said, narrowing her eyes to slits, "Catherine Halsey must never know. Her bleeding-heart sympathies for the Spartans have won her too many admirers at CENTCOM.```
lol, her sympathy is because she robbed them of normal lives and turned them into living weapons
it's not even sympathy, it's more guilt
Yeah, she actually felt bad for the horror she put people through.
She spent more time with those children than her own daughter, they were her kids
Which, I guess, is alien to Parangosky. π
She spent more time with those children than her own daughter, they were her kids
She only started acting motherly after a bunch died
it took there only being a handful left before she was like "you know, maybe they deserve to live"
Yea, but she tried to not see them as kids at first, didn't want to think what she was doing to them as a bad thing, obviously failed
Pretty sure she almost always thought that.
well she didn't act on it until Reach
Yeah.
She did insist they get the right training to ensure they survived
and actions are what matters
Well, I guess its hard to see what you're going to lose until its too late
you don't know what you got, til its gone
And she would have made sure the augments wouldn't have killed anyone if it wasn't for ONI threatening to remove her from the project.
Was she purposefully trying to distance herself from the Spartans during training?
In fear of attachment or something?
So the deaths were really because ONI rushed things?
Yeah, they wanted to see returns faster than Halsey wanted.
After the ORION project I can kinda see where they were coming from
I guarantee Halsey would have blown a gasket if she had known what enhancements the SIII Gamma squad had received
They probably thought "We winged it with Johnson so maybe we can do it again but get him X10 stronger"
Johnson, and his group were limited by the technology and science of that era
True true
Could you imagine Johnson as a Spartan? Would have made the MC look weak
He is a Spartan, part of Project ORION.
if johnson had been made a S-II, he would have lacked all the best things about the character
I could see him being a Spartan 4, if he lived to see that program anyway.
yeah. but inb4 "spartan 4's aren't real spartans"
pretty sure that person meant spartan 2s
a Spartan II johnson would not know what the ladies like
Much of what makes a spartan was not given to them, due to their advanced age, and mortal dictata
Yeah, but the problem as you said earlier is that it would strip his humanity, wit and charm in the process.
If he became a Spartan 4, it would simply improve his abilities (and ego).
Not all spartan IVs get inflated egos
You really don't think it would boost Johnsons' ego?
Well for the spartan IVs who had obnoxious egos, like Demarco, we donβt know his ego pre-augmentation
Johnson's ego was based on skill and qualifications, not the, "I'm better than you" kind of ego
Maybe he was always a d-bag
Johnson learned early on how old the MC was during his first few operations, and while he did look after him a bit, he also followed orders
If he was the POS ego type, he never would have done that
How was Romeo in Bad Blood? Was he any different to how he behaved in New Blood?
From what I remember... not a whole lot different?
Romeo's Romeo
He was still pretty typical Romeo, though the whole Created situation at least got him to pipe down a bit.
He was more willing to risk his own skin to save others
johnson doesnt need a spartan suit
he got a prototype suit
entire armies of prototype suits would make the covenant shiver in their
shos i guess
the unsc uses a bunch of prototyes but barely any of them go into full production
Johnson in the Mark 1 isn't canon
that's just a Halo Wars 2 dlc that was designed around robots, fan service as it were
So ODSTs and marines have their blood type on their person somewhere so if something happens they know what blood to give them. Do Spartans have something like that, or do they have to get something special.
Also do elites have pp
Yes.
Half an inch
Fair
maybe the tags with bloodtype thing is just redudent
since they can read personel tags on their screens
so spartan armor has biofoam right
couldnt have it saved multiple spartans?
MJOLNIR Mk VI and onward have integrated, automatic biofoam injectors.
I suppose it could technically be used for other Spartans if removed and piped over to their armor, but... their armor should already have its own biofoam injectors, so... would be pretty redundant.
then shouldnt have a couple of spartans lived due to the biofoam?
so what is the biofoam
What Spartans are you talking about?
Biofoam is a temporary measure at best
It's not a magic cure-all substance as its gameplay effects might suggest
More like a combination of bandage, disinfectant, and painkiller
Hey, so there's a new Canon Fodder article just released
I like him
In todayβs edition of Canon Fodder, weβre excited to talk a little bit more about a few elements Iβm quite sure will have fiction fans incredibly enthused, starting with the reveal of a brand-new character you might find lurking silently in the shadows at some point in the Hal...
Oh neat, Hannaford is back on concept art.
The new Troy Denning-penned adventure officially drops on October 20, and for fans looking to squeeze a bit more lore out of their purchase, Wal-Mart outlets (online and in-store) will be stocking a limited edition version that include an additional short story entitled Sacrifice.
why must you do this to me
reading on the NMPD
they sound more like a private army
oh wait i thought canon fodder was ove
Canon Fodder isn't over, it's just not a regular thing the way it used to be.
Robot arm and mandibles? I'm in love.
LIQUID KAT
what if he just stole it off the corps
It has a Sangheili hand configuration, so probably not
but he looks cool
Of prosthetic mandibles were an option, why is rtas still walking around with half a mouth?
