I count all of D1 as one entry

but once taken king dropped that basically sorted it

yeah no

Yea yea

cortana gets this little redemption arc which is only a tiny portion of the game
the flood get revealed halfway through.

#

halo fans, will be happy.

i really hope thats its not 2

cortana should just die

be redeemed and die

no redemption.

because chief will be all sadchief

humble yacht Sep 25, 2020, 1:46 PM

She should not be redeemed and she should remain alive

Maybe lock her up somehow

should she get the MB treatment?

we hit up sadie and vergil

don't cure her rampancy

She should not be redeemed and she should remain alive

idk, id prefer if she stays the antagonist and her arc ends with her dying.

humble yacht Sep 25, 2020, 1:47 PM

But she already died

cedar surge Sep 25, 2020, 1:47 PM

the original cortana is dead

round comet Sep 25, 2020, 1:47 PM

no redemption, not aliveness.

no thats not really her long

#

its a ramppant fragment

humble yacht Sep 25, 2020, 1:48 PM

If she stuck around it would be a different result and could open potential new avenues in the future

faint stone Sep 25, 2020, 1:48 PM

so why keep her alive?

round comet Sep 25, 2020, 1:48 PM

and lock her up

just freaking kill her lmfao

what??

'er no that's not her'

'but don't kill her lol ahaha'

it is her,

what

#

???

#

makes no sense lol

humble yacht Sep 25, 2020, 1:49 PM

#

What if she was imprisoned but her immortality made her unkillable, so she’s just locked up with nowhere to go but the UNSC wants to probe her for info about the domain

faint stone Sep 25, 2020, 1:49 PM

we're hitting smooth brain levels never before hit

humble yacht Sep 25, 2020, 1:49 PM

And then there’s this dynamic of whether she’ll give answers or plot her escape

round comet Sep 25, 2020, 1:49 PM

#

caboose rampant fragment

no?

faint stone Sep 25, 2020, 1:49 PM

#

there's literally a short comic of her encountering the warden when she found her way into the domain

round comet Sep 25, 2020, 1:49 PM

#

What if she was imprisoned but her immortality made her unkillable, so she’s just locked up with nowhere to go but the UNSC wants to probe her for info about the domain

i guess i forgot about the immortality part.

#

and her fragments reformed into a whole although thats not confirmed as in outright said, it was implied and makes the most sense.

#

so no, it is the same cortana however different she may feel.

humble yacht Sep 25, 2020, 1:52 PM

#

What if they moved her matrix to the Eye of Odin

#

So she can’t send or receive any signals

round comet Sep 25, 2020, 1:53 PM

#

whats the eye of odin again?

humble yacht Sep 25, 2020, 1:53 PM

#

The most secure room in the galaxy

A faraday cage built into the UNSC Point of No Return

round comet Sep 25, 2020, 1:53 PM

#

wait, i should check this out.

carmine sleet Sep 25, 2020, 1:54 PM

#

Any faraday cage would do to prevent her from getting signals out really, it just happens the Eye of Odin is the most secure

faint stone Sep 25, 2020, 1:54 PM

#

#

all i want is serena back 😢

carmine sleet Sep 25, 2020, 1:54 PM

round comet Sep 25, 2020, 1:55 PM

#

okay, i read the halopedia page for Odin's eye and yeahhhh i guess thats one way to keep her contained.

humble yacht Sep 25, 2020, 1:55 PM

#

I kind of want to see a future where the created are defeated but cortana survives and is contained

#

And then Chief has to visit her in containment because a new threat showed up and she’s the only one with potential answers

#

But she’s still antagonistic and can’t be trusted

round comet Sep 25, 2020, 1:56 PM

#

that sounds, interesting.

humble yacht Sep 25, 2020, 1:59 PM

I guess the real question is how you would get her the fava beans

#

Compose them?

round comet Sep 25, 2020, 2:01 PM

#

i guess but would Odin's eye lock out the domain as well?

cedar surge Sep 25, 2020, 2:05 PM

#

whats odins eye

round comet Sep 25, 2020, 2:08 PM

#

apparently a faraday cage with the utmost security.

i love halo halo 3 is the best

round comet Sep 25, 2020, 2:13 PM

#

uh, okay.

humble yacht Sep 25, 2020, 2:16 PM

#

i guess but would Odin's eye lock out the domain as well?
You could compose the beans, store them on a physical forerunner device, and then bring that device into the cage

#

And then plug it into Cortana’s terminal

#

The boom! She’s in bean city

#

Storing her on the point of no return would have added benefit of keeping her prison constantly moving and cloaked

#

Which would be appropriate given how dangerous she could be if released

round comet Sep 25, 2020, 2:27 PM

#

makes sense, i guess thats the only way it can be done.

#

unless they introduce something else in infinite of course.

cedar surge Sep 25, 2020, 2:35 PM

#

where would they keep her

#

other side of the galaxy?

#

has anyone actually got that far?

#

so the galaxy was about to cool down before the created showed up right?

#

actually

#

it lookslike it was about to blow up in everybodies faces

#

for the unsc and SoS the banished was getting big and the innies were geeting to be a massive problem for the unsc

#

and civil war wasprobably going to start if not for the created

#

would have the unsc lost this civil war?

hard epoch Sep 25, 2020, 2:48 PM

#

idk

#

im not to smart at all the halo stuff but i think they prolly wouldve lost right?

cedar surge Sep 25, 2020, 2:49 PM

#

i think the unsc would have won

round comet Sep 25, 2020, 2:49 PM

#

would have the unsc lost this civil war?

would they have lost the war with the innies back in the early 26th century

cedar surge Sep 25, 2020, 2:49 PM

#

they have hundreds to maybe a thousand spartan IVs

#

and new weapons and technology

#

while the innies are still using outdated tech

round comet Sep 25, 2020, 2:50 PM

#

yeah, spartans will play a big role, new tech etc etc i can see them winning

#

but then idk if there would be a civil war in the first place

cedar surge Sep 25, 2020, 2:51 PM

#

well the innies were getting bold

#

and the outer colonies (what was left) was getting real fed up with the UEG

humble yacht Sep 25, 2020, 3:08 PM

#

Imagine if Isla Zane came back with MJOLNIR armor

noble sedge Sep 25, 2020, 3:11 PM

#

So... since a lot of corporations stationed in Outer Colonies have some sort of military/paramilitary forces... does that mean that Halo's aquivilent of Bethesda/EA/Activision/Tencent/ect. has it too?

carmine sleet Sep 25, 2020, 3:13 PM

#

I don't think publishers for games are going about with private militaries within the Halo universe

humble yacht Sep 25, 2020, 3:17 PM

#

The real military was the gamers they made along the way

carmine sleet Sep 25, 2020, 3:17 PM

I feel like that could have dark connotations

"I really hope it ends up being the logic plague that made Cortana rampant. I always thought it was a huge missed opportunity by saying Cortana was rampant solely due to aging and not because she was corrupted by the Gravemind."

found this on reddit AND LMAO.

cedar surge Sep 25, 2020, 3:47 PM

#

ah yes

#

because we can't have a single good story without the flood

#

nope

#

gotta be them

#

not like they havn't been relevant for years

orchid prism Sep 25, 2020, 3:50 PM

#

Ok, so about the origin of flood, when and where exactly was flood FIRST mentioned or appeared in the lore?

cedar surge Sep 25, 2020, 3:51 PM

#

the flood first appeared in CE

#

the flood are corrupted precursors

orchid prism Sep 25, 2020, 3:52 PM

#

I know they were in CE, but were they mentioned anywhere before the events of CE?

cedar surge Sep 25, 2020, 3:52 PM

#

ni

#

before CE there was only FoR

orchid prism Sep 25, 2020, 3:53 PM

#

Okay

humble yacht Sep 25, 2020, 3:56 PM

#

Technically the events of the forerunner trilogy take place way before CE

#

But those novels were published way after CE released

orchid prism Sep 25, 2020, 3:56 PM

#

I see

faint stone Sep 25, 2020, 4:55 PM

#

the first humans after the halo rings were fired to encounter the flood were the spirit of fire crew

#

the covenant had knowledge of the flood prior to that iirc

#

so maybe they found out about the flood from 2nd hand knowledge ie forerunner terminals or encountered them on a shield world similar to the one in halo wars which was overrun with the flood

cedar surge Sep 25, 2020, 4:57 PM

#

humanity encountered the flood technically during halo wars but the unsc as a whole found out about the flood during CE

#

the SoF disappeared so it couldn't share the info

faint stone Sep 25, 2020, 5:02 PM

#

yeh

#

SoF are the most experienced to deal with them

#

since they're also dealing with the high charity flood on the ark

#

who've mutated because why not

humble yacht Sep 25, 2020, 5:04 PM

#

we don't know if SoF contributed at all to beating back the 2nd outbreak on the ark

cedar surge Sep 25, 2020, 5:04 PM

#

we mostly just see infected units

#

so the SoF would have to know

humble yacht Sep 25, 2020, 5:06 PM

#

could be leftover from the 1st ark conflict

#

in fact that's extremely likely

cedar surge Sep 25, 2020, 5:25 PM

#

didn't the only unsc frigate the FuD come to the ark during the battle?

faint stone Sep 25, 2020, 5:26 PM

#

yeh

#

only 1 unsc frigate went to the ark

#

whilst the other navel ships belonged to the elites

humble yacht Sep 25, 2020, 5:27 PM

#

the rest of UNSC's ships stayed behind on earth

cedar surge Sep 25, 2020, 5:27 PM

#

also couldn't have those been brought to the ark by the science team?

faint stone Sep 25, 2020, 5:27 PM

#

and no it's more likely some unsc patrols encountered the flood

#

like

humble yacht Sep 25, 2020, 5:27 PM

#

Hood wanted to be prepared to defend against the impending flood invasion

faint stone Sep 25, 2020, 5:27 PM

#

they'd know if the ark has a flood outbreak

#

'what's this ruckus that's going on with the banished

#

'send some scouts'

humble yacht Sep 25, 2020, 5:28 PM

#

also couldn't have those been brought to the ark by the science team?
No because that section of the ark was already behind the sentinel wall by the time the science team arrived

#

knowing about it and participating in it are two different things

faint stone Sep 25, 2020, 5:29 PM

#

the science team wouldn't have had a large army with them

#

iirc was the portal they used on mars or earth

humble yacht Sep 25, 2020, 5:30 PM

#

the science team had security forces that included some mantises

#

there's only one portal to the ark

#

connecting earth and the ark

faint stone Sep 25, 2020, 5:30 PM

#

for some reason someone said there was a portal on mars...

humble yacht Sep 25, 2020, 5:30 PM

#

there's not

faint stone Sep 25, 2020, 5:30 PM

#

no clue where they got that from

#

ik

cedar surge Sep 25, 2020, 5:31 PM

#

is it cause HC sllipspaced to the ark from there?

faint stone Sep 25, 2020, 5:31 PM

#

but those few mantises aren't really gonna do much against the banished carrier and their numbers lol

humble yacht Sep 25, 2020, 5:31 PM

#

they probably got that confused with the Gravemind creating its own slipspace route from Mars to the Ark

faint stone Sep 25, 2020, 5:31 PM

#

and that's only a few

#

yes

#

i think that's where i got it from

#

i can paraphrase it slightly but it went like this

#

'the gravemind was in a rush to get to the ark so found a slipspace portal from mars'

#

well it was clear it wasn't a portal but instead it created one over mars

humble yacht Sep 25, 2020, 5:32 PM

#

it didn't make a permanent portal like the one at voi

faint stone Sep 25, 2020, 5:33 PM

#

yeh

#

just a temp one

#

probably had the same effect as the slipspace portal regret used on new mombasa

#

but we know that the portal turned off randomly and comms with earth were cut off

humble yacht Sep 25, 2020, 5:33 PM

#

it's not like high charity was in Mar's atmosphere

faint stone Sep 25, 2020, 5:33 PM

#

so it's likely they had a safety protocol to shut the portal to the ark off in any case of an attack

#

but also the guardians emp probably did it as well

humble yacht Sep 25, 2020, 5:34 PM

#

the portal was shut down the first time because the ark was damaged

faint stone Sep 25, 2020, 5:34 PM

#

yes

humble yacht Sep 25, 2020, 5:34 PM

#

eventually the ark repaired itself and the portal reopened but it got shut down again later when the Guardian attacked earth

faint stone Sep 25, 2020, 5:34 PM

#

but isabelle says herself that the portal randomly shut off

#

yep

#

and comms disabled

versed helm Sep 25, 2020, 7:06 PM

Then why not just jump straight to the halo then instead of getting his fleet smacked at earth

humble yacht Sep 25, 2020, 9:36 PM

#

Because he went to earth to try and get personal glory

#

He didn’t know humans were there

terse lava Sep 25, 2020, 10:59 PM

Would go with that. Not only would he find the locations of all the halos thanks to the luminary, but the home of the forerunners too

Lodamee's very existence is a matter of retroactive continuity. The Major in "The Package" was originally intended to be Thel 'Vadamee, the future Arbiter, as foreshadowed by 'Taralumee's final line. However, Halo: The Cole Protocol (released a year before Halo Legends) had previously established that 'Vadamee's first encounter with a Spartan was in 2535, at which time he was already a Zealot. To add to this, the manner in which 'Lodamee is foreshadowed to become the Arbiter is inconsistent with the manner in which 'Vadamee was anointed into the role. Th

be alot of mac rounds take that big boi down you saw in HW2 how many sentinels were needed bring that thing down

cedar surge Sep 26, 2020, 3:49 AM

#

Not to mention the amount of weapons it has

west silo Sep 26, 2020, 3:49 AM

#

Imagine shooting a city with covenant shields

cedar surge Sep 26, 2020, 3:49 AM

#

Flood juggernaut?

west silo Sep 26, 2020, 3:49 AM

#

And the bigger the ship the more powerful the shields

cedar surge Sep 26, 2020, 3:50 AM

#

And the CSO is a very big ship

#

29km

stable flower Sep 26, 2020, 3:51 AM

#

So CSOs are basically space supremacy ships?

cedar surge Sep 26, 2020, 3:51 AM

#

Space cities yea

#

With probably the laziest design in halo

#

Just a scaled up CAS

west silo Sep 26, 2020, 3:54 AM

They could have even just used the uneven elephant design

terse lava Sep 26, 2020, 3:54 AM

Unyielding hierophant

cedar surge Sep 26, 2020, 3:54 AM

Even elephant is easier to say

How about two squids kissing

Although, that station had shield strong enough to repel a small moon

How big was it again?

cedar surge Sep 26, 2020, 4:03 AM

Large

terse lava Sep 26, 2020, 4:05 AM

The station? 30km in length

cedar surge Sep 26, 2020, 4:07 AM

#

Just 1km longer than the CSO

west silo Sep 26, 2020, 4:07 AM

#

Doesn't high charity counts as a small moon?

#

Like the death star is 60km and it does

terse lava Sep 26, 2020, 4:10 AM

#

A few actually, the LNOS was 27km

#

Would say so on High Charity seeing as it was far more massive then the death star

west silo Sep 26, 2020, 4:17 AM

#

So does that mean it could possibly repel a high charity size object heading towards it

terse lava Sep 26, 2020, 4:43 AM

#

No, high charity is far, far larger then the Unyielding hierophant

Yes, John dying was a shot through the heart, truly.

astral pivot Sep 26, 2020, 6:44 AM

so is it possible for spartans to augment the jackal shields or hardlights shields into there armor to act similar how Mandalorians have there little wrist shields and have still able move there body fully unlike how hardlight shield you had be in stance to use it

gilded mason Sep 26, 2020, 6:44 AM

#

I guess. I imagine the stance was a gameplay thing.

tiny prawn Sep 26, 2020, 6:50 AM

Jackals suck tbh, they are just as annoying as(if not more than) grunts.

leaden minnow Sep 26, 2020, 7:28 AM

they hit uneccessarily hard for no reason

#

And why do they, of all species, have the magic arm shields?

leaden minnow Sep 26, 2020, 7:30 AM

#

i think its because they are used as a heavy infantry cannon fodder

#

they can be used as expandable muscle

versed helm Sep 26, 2020, 7:31 AM

They look pretty flimsy, though

leaden minnow Sep 26, 2020, 7:31 AM

Dunno why they're called Jackals if they're more like birds than dogs

@astral pivot I dont see why not. its been awhile since I read the books but i believe in ghosts of onyx elites wore them to attack a spartan held position. and I vaguely remember blue team capturing covenant tech including jackal shields in fall of reach. however I dont know if they used the shields or not

carmine sleet Sep 26, 2020, 8:43 AM

#

S-IIIs were known to use Jackal shields if I recall, mainly stolen from corpses

versed helm Sep 26, 2020, 8:47 AM

#

they're jackals cause they're mainly scavengers

faint stone Sep 26, 2020, 10:35 AM

#

but when it comes to naval battles

#

they're pirates arrrrr

peak veldt Sep 26, 2020, 10:49 AM

#

Were forerunner space battles so advanced that they were throwing planets at each other?

#

Guessing I don't remember much of the Halo 3 terminals but sounds like Mendicant Bias and Offensive Bias fight was real epic.

faint stone Sep 26, 2020, 10:52 AM

#

oh hell yeah

#

mendicant was using friggin star roads

#

aka precursor trans dimensional technology

#

it was the entire remainder of the forerunners fleet vs a majority of flood captured ships and precursor weapons

cedar surge Sep 26, 2020, 11:55 AM

#

I mean if you look closely at the jackals you can see muscle

inner basin Sep 26, 2020, 12:34 PM

#

And why do they, of all species, have the magic arm shields?
When Bungie was naming their species, they went with Jackals as a name because of how they like to gain an advantage in battle by having the shield gauntlets, meaning you have to fight smart in able to take them down (for example shooting their arm to make them vulnerable to a headshot)

sharp adder Sep 26, 2020, 1:05 PM

#

Or introducing them to kfc

stiff creek Sep 26, 2020, 1:19 PM

In Halo 4 we see a jackal body a guy in CQC in not even a second.

even Awakening the Nightmare was just self contained fan service and doesnt really matter that much

The worst part is that you can never beat the flood

So they will always be around

Probably not much.

The only place I can think of them coming back around from is 07.

I don't think the Banished would mind damaging the ring to kill them.

Unlike Penitent Tangent he'll get it done, just not right away

He likely had multiple alerts and other problems happening all over the ark. Various covenant groups trying to get into facilities, one group making camp in the control room, a space battle overhead, another forerunner construct accessing data

Well we did see a echo base in the Demo

maiden crescent Sep 27, 2020, 1:14 AM

#

That could be cool, to get weapons and stuff

cedar surge Sep 27, 2020, 1:14 AM

#

So that will probably be our main base of operations

#

But the weirdest thing is

#

Is how the demo supposedly takes place like 7 hours in

west silo Sep 27, 2020, 1:14 AM

#

I do wonder if there will be some base mechanic though

maiden crescent Sep 27, 2020, 1:15 AM

#

If it is open world there has to be

west silo Sep 27, 2020, 1:15 AM

#

We also know you will be able to rescue marines

cedar surge Sep 27, 2020, 1:15 AM

#

Like by the way they are talking you would expect this to be one of the first few levels

#

But its Actually 7 hours in

west silo Sep 27, 2020, 1:16 AM

#

Yeah but 7 hours in

cedar surge Sep 27, 2020, 1:16 AM

#

Eyy maybe we could actually use HW series vehicles for the first time

west silo Sep 27, 2020, 1:16 AM

#

They talk as if they spent the last few hours in space

cedar surge Sep 27, 2020, 1:16 AM

#

Like the mastadon to transport troops

#

Or using the grizzly to smash through banished lines

west silo Sep 27, 2020, 1:17 AM

#

Eyy maybe we could actually use HW series vehicles for the first time
@cedar surge
Drivable blisterback when?

cedar surge Sep 27, 2020, 1:17 AM

#

I just want to see HW vehicles in a main game alright?

#

Like the farthest they got was Spartan strike

maiden crescent Sep 27, 2020, 1:17 AM

#

And I just want to play as a Grunt.

west silo Sep 27, 2020, 1:17 AM

#

Imagine driving a HW2 style condor

maiden crescent Sep 27, 2020, 1:17 AM

#

Maybe have a Grunt sidekick...

#

I want a Grunt sidekick...

cedar surge Sep 27, 2020, 1:18 AM

#

Live for a year,get beat by brutes,then get gunned down by marines?

west silo Sep 27, 2020, 1:18 AM

#

Mass effect halo edition

#

Live for a year,get beat by brutes,then get gunned down by marines?
@cedar surge
You play as a spec ops grunt

cedar surge Sep 27, 2020, 1:18 AM

#

Is it so bad I want to steamroll banished in a grizzly?

west silo Sep 27, 2020, 1:18 AM

#

Nope

cedar surge Sep 27, 2020, 1:18 AM

#

Ah so you get beat to death by a crazed gamma

west silo Sep 27, 2020, 1:19 AM

#

You play as slolt

maiden crescent Sep 27, 2020, 1:19 AM

#

And play cards with other Grunts...

west silo Sep 27, 2020, 1:19 AM

#

There no die

maiden crescent Sep 27, 2020, 1:19 AM

#

don’t judge I just keep dreaming about that

#

For some reason

cedar surge Sep 27, 2020, 1:20 AM

#

Brian Reeds comes back and kills you for a dramatic death scene

west silo Sep 27, 2020, 1:20 AM

#

With a face like that no wonder

cedar surge Sep 27, 2020, 1:20 AM

#

I also hope for many unsc troop types

#

Like I want those railguns marines

#

Or hellbringers marines

west silo Sep 27, 2020, 1:21 AM

#

The army

cedar surge Sep 27, 2020, 1:21 AM

#

Well the armor still use the same aarmor

#

But the marines are using different armor

#

Just very similar

west silo Sep 27, 2020, 1:22 AM

Armor in armor in armor

A game were you play as an Elite detective and have a grunt partner

west silo Sep 27, 2020, 1:24 AM

#

Soo halo CE covenant edition

#

Spoiler it doesn't end well

fair hazel Sep 27, 2020, 1:27 AM

#

there are several bases in infinite

maiden crescent Sep 27, 2020, 1:28 AM

#

A game were you play as an Elite detective and have a grunt partner
@dense pulsar YES 343 TAKE MY MONEY I WILL GIVE YOU MY LIGE

#

LIFE*

#

343 LISTEN

#

okay maybe I overreacted a little sorry

#

Still, I would buy it

#

343pls

cedar surge Sep 27, 2020, 1:33 AM

#

Oh wait there are 7 bases in infinite?

#

Banished bases or unsc?

#

So do you think the ring that cortana was lighting in the 5 legendary ending will ever come into play?

#

Its not like she can fire it

#

Unless she wants everybody dead

terse lava Sep 27, 2020, 1:40 AM

#

Who knows

cedar surge Sep 27, 2020, 1:49 AM

#

But its clear that the unsc isn't just the infinity

#

Hey wait if a ring gets as damaged as zeta halo did wouldn't the ark replace it?

terse lava Sep 27, 2020, 1:55 AM

#

Only if it had been fully destroyed

cedar surge Sep 27, 2020, 2:37 AM

#

Rings getting destroyed left and right

#

So does 343 Remeber that shield world with a megstructure ring around it surrounded by multiple planets with a huge fleet of forerunner ships in escalations?

#

That seems a bit important

#

So does the banished treat its members worse than the covenant

gilded mason Sep 27, 2020, 2:51 AM

#

Sure seems like it

astral pivot Sep 27, 2020, 2:54 AM

#

they yeet grunts at there foes

#

atleast brutes in covendant didnt throw grunts at us

versed helm Sep 27, 2020, 2:55 AM

#

the banished have no honor

#

jk , they are the most honorable enemy we have faced

cedar surge Sep 27, 2020, 3:20 AM

#

Didn't know it was opposite day

terse lava Sep 27, 2020, 3:35 AM

#

Covenant: win this battle for the Great Journey
Banished: win this battle because I told you too

snow halo Sep 27, 2020, 3:37 AM

#

they could achieve a lot if they sided with the humans but I guess the humans killed all of Atriox's brothers so I understand why they wouldn't

cedar surge Sep 27, 2020, 3:40 AM

#

Humanity as a species?

#

Why would the unsc or UEG in general work with the banished

#

The banished are mercenary pirates

#

Also Atriox doesn't have anyt;ing against humanity

#

Also I find the whole "whole species allying with a whole another species" a bit dumb

#

Not everyone is going to agreed to it

#

Even after the schism some elites still believe in the great journy

terse lava Sep 27, 2020, 3:46 AM

#

Odd the only named one is Luro's favtion and the Keepers

cedar surge Sep 27, 2020, 3:57 AM

#

What about xytan

#

He was like a covenant remnant for like less than a week I think

#

Think less than a day

gilded mason Sep 27, 2020, 3:58 AM

#

"Check out this super important guy you're just now hearing abo - aaaand he's dead."

jolly swift Sep 27, 2020, 4:02 AM

#

Also I find the whole "whole species allying with a whole another species" a bit dumb
Fun fact! That trope is called "Species of Hats" and it's super annoying

#

i.e. all Bothans being good spies

gilded mason Sep 27, 2020, 4:03 AM

#

I heard "Planet of Hats". But yeah, the bane of my existence

cedar surge Sep 27, 2020, 4:08 AM

#

"Elites are honorable"
"Brutes are savage"
"Grunts are cowardly"
"Jackals are pirates"
"Hunters are..."
"Drones are..."

#

This is why I wish 343 and bungies were more specific

#

No not all the elites helped humanity

#

No this is not the actual covenant,just a remnant

#

No every species did not go back to their home planet

#

No the suit does not

#

Actually how do bothans make good spies?

#

Like they seem pretty similar to other star wars races except for facial and skin features

terse lava Sep 27, 2020, 4:19 AM

#

No clue

cedar surge Sep 27, 2020, 4:25 AM

#

Hey wait

#

What if the harbinger is the leader of a group of covenant fringe species

#

Who banded together for survival

stiff creek Sep 27, 2020, 4:26 AM

terse lava Sep 27, 2020, 4:26 AM

#

Who knows, maybe

stiff creek Sep 27, 2020, 4:27 AM

#

*Covenant remnant

#

Not fringe

#

Unless you did mean fringe

#

Then my bad

cedar surge Sep 27, 2020, 4:31 AM

#

Yea I do

#

Like we havnt really seen them

#

And alone they were not good enough for the covenant

#

But together maybe

versed helm Sep 27, 2020, 5:23 AM

#

I think its the faction of constructs led by the warden, that were originally led by cortana before she joined back with the chief
(i can explain my whole theory again, if needed, cause it makes sense)

cedar surge Sep 27, 2020, 5:30 AM

#

But Wouldn't the wardin still be under her control?

sly sierra Sep 27, 2020, 6:03 AM

#

Why is halo reach important to the main halo story

terse lava Sep 27, 2020, 6:04 AM

#

Because it pretty much kicks everything off

sly sierra Sep 27, 2020, 6:05 AM

#

It kicks master chief story's off?

terse lava Sep 27, 2020, 6:06 AM

#

In a meta way, it serves as the backdrop of why he is at halo in CE

kind portal Sep 27, 2020, 6:15 AM

#

It kicks off master chiefs story but also kicks off Arbiters ( Thel 'Vadamee) story. The fleet that randomly showed up to reach and flooded them was arbiters fleet in which ran the pillar of autumn to halo (after the end cut scene). After john destroys Alpha Halo, thats when halo 2 gets kicked off and Thel becomes the Arbiter

jolly swift Sep 27, 2020, 6:16 AM

#

it's really the beginning of the end of the Human Covenant war

kind portal Sep 27, 2020, 6:19 AM

#

Kindda sucks that the agreement of Human-Covenant peace lasted one game lol

jolly swift Sep 27, 2020, 6:20 AM

#

for sure

#

343i wanted to re-establish the status quo I suppose

kind portal Sep 27, 2020, 6:21 AM

#

Makes sense

cedar surge Sep 27, 2020, 6:29 AM

#

Well the covenant really didn't agree to that peace agreemeant

#

Cause it was dead

#

They signed it with the elites

#

More So their representative the Swords of Sanghellios

gilded mason Sep 27, 2020, 6:30 AM

#

Or at least, the Elites allied with Thel and Rtas. - Yeah

terse lava Sep 27, 2020, 6:30 AM

#

Yeah, not all sangheili admittedly

cedar surge Sep 27, 2020, 6:30 AM

#

And not all elites agreed to that

#

Many are covenant remnants are pirates and mercs

#

The arbiter had to fight a while civil war about this

#

(Which is a like halfway through ONIs fault)

gilded mason Sep 27, 2020, 6:32 AM

#

Yeh

stable flower Sep 27, 2020, 6:32 AM

#

Lots of splinter groups and remnants poppin up

gilded mason Sep 27, 2020, 6:32 AM

#

All those human deaths are partly on ONI

cedar surge Sep 27, 2020, 6:32 AM

#

Cortana with the hammer ATP

#

But yea I bet its going to take a loooong time before they start not popping up or at least not as much anymore

#

Unfortantly halo is afraid of large timeskips

gilded mason Sep 27, 2020, 6:33 AM

#

Or this whole Created business shakes things up

cedar surge Sep 27, 2020, 6:33 AM

#

Well I don't see how

#

It would just cement their religion

#

Or it could just

#

Make them super mad

#

That the devils AI are controlling their gods machines

stable flower Sep 27, 2020, 6:35 AM

#

I say it separately because Halopedia and the Halo wiki like to use remnant and splinter interchangeably.

#

IMO some groups are splinters while others are remnants

cedar surge Sep 27, 2020, 6:35 AM

#

Splinter is before the breaking up right?

jolly swift Sep 27, 2020, 6:36 AM

#

Would love to see a story where ONI gets taken down a peg

#

Maybe Hunt the Truth could do that

cedar surge Sep 27, 2020, 6:36 AM

#

Not really possible

kind portal Sep 27, 2020, 6:36 AM

#

ONI will never get taken down

cedar surge Sep 27, 2020, 6:36 AM

#

ONI is simply too big and powerful

jolly swift Sep 27, 2020, 6:37 AM

#

So was the Covenant

#

Just use Neural Physics smh

gilded mason Sep 27, 2020, 6:37 AM

#

Maybe in Infinite it'll turnout Cortana killed all ONI personnel not on the Infinity.

cedar surge Sep 27, 2020, 6:38 AM

#

Man with that kind of plot convinece we have some left over for six to be alive!

jolly swift Sep 27, 2020, 6:38 AM

#

He's just in a cave

stable flower Sep 27, 2020, 6:38 AM

#

Remnants include Jul's Covenant, Keepers of the One Freedom, and Merg Vol's Covenant.

cedar surge Sep 27, 2020, 6:38 AM

#

Heavily wounded,shot multiple times by plasma,ganged up on by two high ranking elites. Yea right

jolly swift Sep 27, 2020, 6:39 AM

#

Could be worse

cedar surge Sep 27, 2020, 6:39 AM

#

We even see the elite swinging his sword right into six right before the camera cuts away

#

The only way to survive this is the force or

jolly swift Sep 27, 2020, 6:40 AM

#

Neural Physics

kind portal Sep 27, 2020, 6:40 AM

Idk lol. I saw some theories that six is still alive but nah

cedar surge Sep 27, 2020, 6:40 AM

Nah indeed

stable flower Sep 27, 2020, 6:40 AM

I hated how the camera just cuts away like that. It should've cut to black.

He dies but then a while later a wandering Ghost resurrects him and he becomes a Guardian

If Guilty Spark is alive it just means I can splazer him again

You can't he us on a forerunner salvage ship

#

Yes there are humans using a forerunner ship to salvage things

jolly swift Sep 27, 2020, 6:43 AM

#

That won't stop the Chief

cedar surge Sep 27, 2020, 6:44 AM

#

Seeing as how guilty tried to kill him before but trusted him in 3 I would say chief would do the same

kind portal Sep 27, 2020, 6:47 AM

#

Well Guilty tried to kill him because Guilty was infected with the Logic Plague supposedly

jolly swift Sep 27, 2020, 6:48 AM

#

That was probably just normal Rampancy

kind portal Sep 27, 2020, 6:48 AM

#

But Guilty was made from Human (Chakas) so yeah I dont think it would be AI rampancy

#

Im on the first book of the forerunner trilogy and watching videos spoiled that Chakas is Guilty Spark rip lol
