This is the Orion Complex i assume Halo refers to - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orion_Molecular_Cloud_Complex
gilded mason
Ah, so the galaxy map is there, but not the annotated version of it
jolly furnace
Yah the capital is in the Complex
The Orion complex is a large nebular complex in the Orion Arm of the Milky Way Galaxy. The nebula was once the nexus of Forerunner activity as the core of their ecumene. It was home to the Forerunner homeworld Ghibalb,[1] located at the outer edges of the nebula, the triple star system housing the homeworld of Bornstellar Makes Eternal Lasting and his family,[2] and the Capital, the seat of the Ecumene Council. The cloud itself is situated between 1,500 and 1,600 light-years away from the Sol system and is hundreds of light-years across. The complex contains several smaller nebulae, and many protoplanetary discs and young stars.[3]
So its within 1,600 lys from Sol

How much do SPARTAN-III'S weigh in MJOLNIR armor?
I checked Halopedia and apparently, noble 6 weighs about 239 pounds, which I just know can't be right if he's in armor.

If it was Mark V, it's a quarter of ton
barren ferry
Mark V is a quarter of a ton on its own is what you're saying @slim thorn?
Pretty sure it's half a ton, or 1,000 lbs

Where is Mark v’s weight detailed?

Ok that data drop says that Chief is 994 lbs in armor. So where did valkyrious get “quarter of a ton” from?
pulsar pivot
That the banished destroyed the rings
I thought that they had fired the ring but that didnt make snese
Only took a year and a halve
humble yacht
Destroying the rings doesn’t make sense either. Atriox wanted to control the rings for himself
fresh hamlet
Quarter of a ton makes sense, I imagine chief without the armor weighs like 400+
humble yacht
Chief weighs 286 lbs out of armor
So the armor alone weighs just over 700 lbs, based on that data drop
fresh hamlet
Wait really only 286? The man is 7ft and jacked how is he only 286
Ah nvm apparently only 6’7 without armor boosting him up
humble yacht
Stats are stats
fresh hamlet
Man 6’7 is hardly an augmentation I feel, especially 500 years in the future.
It’s tall but like scandinavians and basketball players today reach that height naturally
cedar surge
Well I don't think being super tall would help when your raiding normal human innies bases
Probably make you a bigger target actually
fresh hamlet
Yeah but naturally I’d expect all humans to be a lot taller 500 years from now
Well... idk supposedly you’d want spartans taller for strength and moving faster
Otherwise we’d probably augment them to shrink them
opal birch
Why would humans get drastically taller? Average human height has fluctuated throughout history, but it's generally always been between 5-6 feet.
humble yacht
Humans were short thousands of years ago
Ancient romans were more like 4-5 ft on average
opal birch
I remember reading somewhere that the average Roman was like between 5'-5'5 in height
opal birch
not saying it wasn't, but I don't think humans are gonna get any taller by much.
also pretty sure there's a higher risk for health complications if you're a lot taller than usual
humble yacht
Well if there is an evolutionary advantage to height then humans would keep getting taller over generations. But technology sort of removes the need for humans to evolve physically

I mean its mostly growth additives and stuff in food that I’m given to understand is responsible for us these days. Like even a century ago people were shorter.

No, they were transferred to other OCA through UNSC Command. Only three cadets survived it and two are actively involved in Halo, Thomas Lasky and Michael Sullivan.
Lasky was about to discharge, but eventually it did not happen since they need as many Officers as possible to lead the UNSC at Human-Covenant War.
The school most likely rushes the class and the Cadets are transferred to retrain themselves in a specialized academy, like how Lasky did.

Would the Forerunners have found any use for both Mercury and Venus?
craggy sierra
Wouldn't really say it's particularly inhabitable by then.
I mean people are living on it and have access to the resources needed to be self-sufficient. That tics all the boxes of being an “inhabitable” space.
It’s nowhere near capable of supporting large scale population centers ala New Alexandria, but it is habitable.

Just played through Reachs campaign again and was left with a question I had previously shoved under the rug.
Why is Noble Team specifically being hunted by the Covenant? Like all the reasons I can think of assume the covenant have information on them that I feel they wouldn't have.
So why is this Field Marshall hunting down Noble?
humble yacht
Guess that makes the Traveller more powerful than the forerunners
stable flower
The Field Marshall is the closest Reach had to an antagonist

It's not a coincidence that the same Field Marshall encounters Noble multiple times and 2 of those encounters end in the death of a Noble team member.

That's a jpeg of an image someone made in Reach
Like, if that's meant to be "proof" that no Field Marshal has ever been killed and that Mjolnir actively tries to hide the fact, first off, it's not good proof. Second, something like that would be a big thing in the lore. Given that it isn't and nobody has ever spoken about such a thing even existing, it's clear you've made up the idea to try and hype of a random Field Marshal that the player kills as being someone way more important than he actually was

This is a weird idea and when I say this I don't mean I wanna see it in a game it means I just want it to exist but hear me out, what if the UNSC army modified some Falcons to have a gunship variant, like the gunship huey, basically use the troop transport bay for ammo for some mini guns or something on hardpoints attached and then put so missile launchers on the hardpoints

Grenade turrets, chain gun turrets and nose guns

I've heard people question why the M41 Vulcan only fires at 500 rpm instead of being like a minigun, but I actually see the advantages of it, for one thing its probably good for conserving ammo, looking at the Warthog it looks like it would be really hard to reload it right there in the heat of battle and its also good for preventing overheating, at 500rpm with a rotating barrel, the M41 Vulcan probably overheats really slow, the only reason guns like the minigun and the GAU-19 overheat so fast is because of their extremely fast fire rate

The details for augmentations for the Orion candidates is pretty sketchy, but my bet would be hell no.
Stuff like how the armor reacts to the heightened reflexes and requires the strength of a Spartan not to tear someone apart suggests they'd be less likely to be horribly mauled trying to use it, but wouldn't come out much better than a regular joe.

I mean they could probably handle current gen armour. It’s designed for Spartan 4s which have a bit less going on with augments. The armour itself is designed to do a lot of the heavy lifting in their stead.

Something I cannot find, after searching for half an hour no less, is why Lasky is able to still serve on a UNSC ship, let alone be its captain, when he has that medical condition. He has to go into cryosleep inevitably, so why is the UNSC just fine with this, when they were ready to discharge him before?

Do you think that they observe that day of remembrance on November 11?
I am unsure, but it's unlikely as that event occurred over 600 years ago in the 2500s.

Humans now still celebrate Christmas, which is based on an event that happened over 2000 years ago so the idea that humanity would still host a day of remembrance for those who fought and died in wars isn't exactly unlikely

Got it, thanks

I mean, neural physics is a real concept in our world.
Neural physics was a Precursor concept and science which posited that the Mantle encompassed the entire universe, including living beings, energy and matter. The principles of neural physics also postulated that the entire universe was living, but in a way that was beyond the comprehension of biological organisms.
People actually believe the universe is alive and such.
I'm sure they call it something else though.

Forerunner metal is fairly robust
normal shard
It took a bunch of blasts from a spartan laser to destroy him, aimed directly at him. Atmosphere entry, even ignoring his shields, probably couldn't do much. But half the halo was in tact and he could teleport using that maybe, still. Like he already was.
But yeah, he says he just flew over to the planet.
humble yacht
less than half of Installation 04 was left intact
also once the halo was damaged, the teleportation grid was immediately inaccessible
normal shard
Was a figure of speech, but where did you get the info on the grind being immediately inaccessible?
grid* I love autocorrect sometimes.
humble yacht
why would it survive the damage?
how is the grid supposed to transport you to a part of the ring no longer connected?
normal shard
We know the grid can teleport you a good ways away from the ring itself, and based on the information I found on Halopedia; There were a lot of telemetry clusters throughout the ring to ensure it was operational at all times. You don't need the entire thing to be in tact if you have enough energy and access to one of the conduits.
As far as the energy part, if Cortana could pull the energy from chief's suit. I feel like spark, backed up by sentinels, wouldn't have much of a problem drawing the energy required.
Doesn't matter anyway though, since as I said earlier, spark already said he flew. So it's irrelevant.

I fail to see the use as well; You could throw a flashbang, and if it hits, then that throw would've just been 10x better if it was a frag/sticky.

halo players typically don't like weapons and abilities that stop them from playing

Also, just throwing this out there; It's not a tactical shooter, it's an arcade shooter. There's a reason why clan raids have to be done with specific maps and a bunch of other rules in place. They practically have to rebalance the game to make it like a tac-shooter. Flashbangs would be good imo, if this wasn't a fast-paced, arcade shooter.

you're correct, they should do uh something like space sentinels, like the ones protect the rings, so they can shoot alcoholz. if the alcohol is useless because its a ship, so then they should make space sentinels with alcohols and sun powered lazer
aint that convinient? ( Space sentinels that will patrol all over the universe everyday )
one planet like earth contains chunks and loads of chunk of alcohol, so if the forerunner already owned lots of planet, why not making 3 or 4 planets into drug farms which will become the main source to maintain the war and make the forerunner win

who remembers that part where Johnson's bagging out private jenkins for not firing his weapon? I would quote it, but unfortunately the bot bans it because of a word that is similar to darn.
empty dune
ah
normal shard
Yes.
pulsar pivot
Yeah, but nothing in that game would make that statement make sense.
The ending where he try's to cheer john up
When he gives them a pelican to help them
Ect.
normal shard
Did -you- watch the lead-up movie "Forward Unto Dawn" ? Also, idk what cutscene you were watching, but he helps him once, fights by his side, and casually talks to Chief at the end. He didn't try to cheer him up once. If anything, he's more like Johnson than a father figure.
pulsar pivot
Look how bout not a fatherly figure but a good and helping friend

i don't see why people hate on Spartan Palmer. I'm not saying that I like Palmer, but i'm just curious.
pulsar pivot
Idk
normal shard
I actually do like Palmer tbh.
pulsar pivot
I just dknt get the same vibes as I do from Johnson or keyes
normal shard
Not saying she's better than other characters, but on her own, she's no slouch.
gilded mason
Palmer's nice in Halo 5. I just don't like her all too much in previous media.
main hill
Do ya’ll think the Wraith from Halo is a lot more armored and durable then depicted in game?
gilded mason
Definitely more durable, yeah
pulsar pivot
I say its about as durable as it is in game
empty dune
I want flood in halo infinite
pulsar pivot
Yeah me too
normal shard
If you compare her to others, you'll always find that she comes up short. Because most of the other fanfavorites have a ton of background lore and extended universe stuff that make their character's well-rounded.
nocturne owl
Whenever I see Palmer, all I see is a character from the Clone Wars.
nocturne owl
Because her voice actor also voices a character in the clone wars show. So i keep likening Palmer to said clone wars character.
pulsar pivot
I can totally see that now
normal shard
I believe the voice actress is also the voice of Ashe from overwatch.
nocturne owl
He was, uh, I don't know how to describe my thoughts.
empty dune
well it was multiple buttons
and u jumped off
and no
U didnt fight truth
arbiter ended truth
pulsar pivot
Arbiter stabbed him
nocturne owl
But i'm surprised that the logic plague works on organic beings.
pulsar pivot
The only legit boss fight
normal shard
I would've liked the didact if he was just a character from the Forerunner's story, hundreds of thousands of years ago, but since they brought him to modern day, I feel like it didn't fit.
pulsar pivot
