why is halo 4 and 5 called the reclaimer saga if all the reclaiming was done in halo 123

fair hazel Apr 9, 2021, 10:54 PM

#

What reclaiming was done?

half ravine Apr 9, 2021, 11:05 PM

#

They might be referring to how Guilty Spark calls Chief reclaimer.

humble yacht Apr 9, 2021, 11:05 PM

#

4 and 5 are called the Reclaimer Saga because of the idea of humanity taking the Mantle and the obstacles that are getting in their way

How does a "mind melter" work?

humble yacht Apr 10, 2021, 5:30 PM

Probably similar to how it works in other franchises

That explains why ODSTs became so unhinged after being subjected to them.

#

No, the terms are interchangeable.

terse lava Apr 10, 2021, 7:17 PM

#

@versed helm always considered it a waste, least covenant pods allow the occupants to maneuver the device as they descend

versed helm Apr 10, 2021, 7:23 PM

#

Persecuting an entire race for false reasons is also a waste of life.

pulsar pivot Apr 10, 2021, 7:26 PM

#

Could a been some good soliders

terse lava Apr 10, 2021, 7:26 PM

#

@versed helm yeah, but I was speaking of the fact, you train these guys for a long time, and their pod just pancakes into the ground

pulsar pivot Apr 10, 2021, 7:26 PM

#

If the humans did join the covenant how zealous do you think they would be

versed helm Apr 10, 2021, 7:27 PM

#

terse lava <@456226577798135808> yeah, but I was speaking of the fact, you train these guys...

Bungie just wanted to impress the audience when creating the ODSTs.

#

Correct.

terse lava Apr 10, 2021, 7:30 PM

#

@versed helm true, but you don't get much control in their pods

versed helm Apr 10, 2021, 7:31 PM

#

What are you talking about? ODSTs can re-adjust their course on a whim.

terse lava Apr 10, 2021, 7:31 PM

#

Not as well as a covenant pod

versed helm Apr 10, 2021, 7:31 PM

#

That feature literally saved Alpha Nine.

terse lava Apr 10, 2021, 7:31 PM

#

But perhaps I need to double check Warfleet

#

As for the h4 and 5 thing, I have nothing wrong with the didact and his knights being around. Its just the execution of how it was done

versed helm Apr 10, 2021, 7:32 PM

#

Humanity's technology is evidently going to be drastically inferior. Comparing them to the Covenant's technology is just borderline unfair.

terse lava Apr 10, 2021, 7:33 PM

#

Always found that funny thanks to the NOVA

#

@versed helm there is no technically, they exist.

#

But I do agree 4 and 5 are lacking in a smooth pattern of narrative storytelling

#

True, the enemy AI felt more simplistic

stable flower Apr 10, 2021, 7:38 PM

#

I'd rather pretend the Banished never existed.

terse lava Apr 10, 2021, 7:39 PM

#

I am on the fence with the Banished

humble yacht Apr 10, 2021, 7:39 PM

#

The Didact was mentioned in halo 3 terminals. Even if you are a Bungie purist, he existed

terse lava Apr 10, 2021, 7:40 PM

#

I think he means the two didact method Chim

#

You did read the terminals right? In halo 3? The didact survived

gilded mason Apr 10, 2021, 7:41 PM

#

Yeah

terse lava Apr 10, 2021, 7:41 PM

#

Sure, different one, but still

gilded mason Apr 10, 2021, 7:41 PM

#

Didact.

terse lava Apr 10, 2021, 7:43 PM

#

The Forerunnrer trilogy shows thr didact from the h3 terminals, was a forerunner imprinted with the knowledge of the original didact

#

This didact, went into exile outside the galaxy like the other forerunners as penance

#

While the original was sealed away by his wife

#

Compartmentilzation

gilded mason Apr 10, 2021, 7:44 PM

#

As said in Halo 3, compartmentalization

terse lava Apr 10, 2021, 7:44 PM

#

Knowledge was removed, in case of flood capture

#

He didn't know of his own past, anything outside his ring

terse lava Apr 10, 2021, 7:45 PM

He was assigned there by Bornstellar

343, was a human character from the novel Cryptum

#

During the events of the 2nd novel, his body was damaged, and his mind put into a monitor shell to preserve

versed helm Apr 10, 2021, 7:48 PM

#

The games and books are interconnected.

terse lava Apr 10, 2021, 7:49 PM

#

That was Bungie's way

versed helm Apr 10, 2021, 7:49 PM

#

Okay?

terse lava Apr 10, 2021, 7:49 PM

#

Not all

versed helm Apr 10, 2021, 7:49 PM

#

Is there a problem with that?

terse lava Apr 10, 2021, 7:50 PM

#

I agree, I am not fond of it

versed helm Apr 10, 2021, 7:50 PM

#

Wait a moment, why are you even bothering with arguing about this topic if you firmly believe that the material is non-existent?

#

None of this exists, therefore you have no reason to complain with your logic.

terse lava Apr 10, 2021, 7:51 PM

#

Cute

versed helm Apr 10, 2021, 7:51 PM

#

All right.

terse lava Apr 10, 2021, 7:52 PM

#

The point either way, is that not all expanded lore, at least in regards to the Forerunners, is broken

#

It isn't

#

Wrong

#

Again

#

As I said earlier

gilded mason Apr 10, 2021, 7:54 PM

#

In OT, it is confirmed some survived

terse lava Apr 10, 2021, 7:54 PM

#

The didact lived

#

Along with others

#

Why do you not see that

gilded mason Apr 10, 2021, 7:54 PM

#

The terminals are part of the game, my dude

humble yacht Apr 10, 2021, 7:54 PM

#

Terminals count as lore

terse lava Apr 10, 2021, 7:54 PM

#

Yes, made by bungie

#

In game

humble yacht Apr 10, 2021, 7:54 PM

#

I am not the person telling users to leave a server for informing them about the truth.

#

But I admit, I am curious on his side

#

Ok...and?

#

Hm, well the problem there is this

versed helm Apr 10, 2021, 7:58 PM

#

I have to say, reading that message made me chuckle.

#

At the end of the day, you have developed an interpretation of a timeline that is unofficial.

terse lava Apr 10, 2021, 8:00 PM

#

How would you go about explaining that, when thr current lore was purposefully limited on the Forerunners prior to the Greg Bear books. We know the didact survived, and we are never shown how monitors are created before they either

#

Now that was just rude

gilded mason Apr 10, 2021, 8:00 PM

#

That's pretty unnecessarily hostile.

terse lava Apr 10, 2021, 8:00 PM

#

Yeah

versed helm Apr 10, 2021, 8:00 PM

#

Throwing unnecessary insults will definitely coerce me into believing you.

#

chiefsmirkle

terse lava Apr 10, 2021, 8:01 PM

#

Uh uh

#

Anyway, you are simply saying you want the parallel universe idea, when nothing backs such a thing up

#

Look at it this way, nothing in halo shows proper multi universes exist. Bungie lore was silent on that, while new lore shows they are consumed via forerunner tech as a power source

versed helm Apr 10, 2021, 8:02 PM

#

I do not remember seeing nor hearing that statement in H2.

gilded mason Apr 10, 2021, 8:02 PM

#

Halo 3 is the first to contradict that.

terse lava Apr 10, 2021, 8:03 PM

#

Spark said it

gilded mason Apr 10, 2021, 8:03 PM

#

Ending with Spark and Tartarus

terse lava Apr 10, 2021, 8:03 PM

#

And yea, spark thought EVERYONE died

#

No, it was h2

#

Not CE or 3

#

Again, spark's knowledge was limited

#

He would have no clue some survived

#

And such a thing would have been kept from him regardless

humble yacht Apr 10, 2021, 8:04 PM

#

Spark thought all the forerunners died just like the UNSC thought Chief died in halo 3

versed helm Apr 10, 2021, 8:05 PM

#

A parallel timeline that is not official.

humble yacht Apr 10, 2021, 8:05 PM

#

There is no parallel reality. It’s all one timeline

On April 26th, 2026 the ship that contained multiple civilians, including Hamish Beamesh, is captured by the covenant during the Battle of Circinius IV, and civilians are forced to work janitorial jobs on high charity so the covenant wouldn’t have to expend its combat ready troops for maintenance purposes as POWs. Hamish Beamesh is sighted on High Charity preforming janitorial duties in the HALO 2 remastered cutscene during the year 2552.

He remained on the ring performing his holy duty until 2557 when the Nightfall team takes place.
He is picked up by Locke and gang.

Can anyone tell me what on earth is going on in Halo 3 when Chief gets those messages from Cortana from halfway across the Galaxy?
Is it telepathy? Like the kind that allows the Flood to have a hivemind without physical contact or tech to transmit signals right, we can agree that that's just plain ol' psychic stuff. And Cortana sending messages to Chief in Halo 5 through the Domain confuses me as well. Chief's not hooked up to the domain, so how's he getting those visions? Is she still using the same telepathy she used in H3? Maybe in Halo 3, Cortana is piggybacking off Gravemind's psychic powers to send those rampant sounding message to Chief?

Lot's of questions and theories here. Can someone help me piece it together? Am I on the right track?

Remotely from halfway across the galaxy? I doubt it's that simple.

It has to be via Gravemind, right? Afterall Gravemind sends you signals in much the same way in the same game.

I don’t think there is a definitive answer. It’s generally accepted that the H3 Cortana visions are actually the gravemind using her against him. But it’s not like we have a primary source on that afaik

violet notch Apr 12, 2021, 1:28 PM

#

I don't know if they're all 100% Gravemind. Since some of the messages seem in character for Cortana. Granted some of them definitely sound like she's going insane. But that very well could be exactly what's happening. She admits when you find her that she's been corrupted. So it could be a mix of the two. Literally as she's becoming an AI Flood Host?

humble yacht Apr 12, 2021, 1:30 PM

#

At the time those messages were sent, gravemind had hacked Cortana and was actively driving her towards rampancy

#

The short story Human Weakness suggests that it was gravemind pretending to be her to lure Chief back to high charity

violet notch Apr 12, 2021, 1:31 PM

#

Right, but since it was Cortana that was hacked here, and Cortana he was weilding as a puppet, more or less, perhaps not 100% of the message that comes across is Gravemind. Some of it could still be Cortana reaching out through Gravemind.

humble yacht Apr 12, 2021, 1:31 PM

The gravemind was aware when Cortana sent a message to that covenant ship that flew to earth. He let it happen, although he didn’t know the content of the message

#

But like I said before, there really isn’t a definitive answer to the nature of the messages

#

Your assessment could be right or it could be wrong

shut dew Apr 12, 2021, 1:49 PM

They're avian-like aliens so there can be subtle differences in their physiology we haven't seen yet, which is why I asked.

#

And I don't have a problem with it. It does make sense to make that assumption.

violet notch Apr 12, 2021, 1:52 PM

#

Well nature isn't limited to Earth. What ends up working on Earth and creating viable species could easily work on another planet too. What works, just works, and it doesn't matter what planet you're on. The only difference it'd make would be the differences that the end result has. The Grunts lived on a methane planet, so they breath methane, but other than that, they're yet another bipedal species with organs and structures aligned in their bodies not unlike humans, elites, brutes, jackals, etc, etc. They have a head at the top, two arms, two legs, their brains are in the same place, they use lungs, or organs akin to lungs, in order to breath, etc, etc.

#

Because that [poop] just works. And it's not hard to believe that with millions of years of evolutionary trial and error, nature on other planets came to the same conclusions as it did on Earth, and a lot of the Alien physiology looks pretty recognizable.

#

So when you see an avian species of aliens, and you know from experience that avians have hollow bones on your planet. The logical conclusion is justifiable, that it'd work in much the same way on theirs.

humble yacht Apr 12, 2021, 1:59 PM

Breathing methane is pretty outside of the realm of existing biology, tho

#

It may sound like a minor different But the implications are crazy

violet notch Apr 12, 2021, 2:02 PM

humble yacht Apr 12, 2021, 2:10 PM

#

The problem is I know too much about biology to suspend that disbelief

violet notch Apr 12, 2021, 2:14 PM

#

My opinions on why the aliens are mostly recognizable, also applies to why their technology and weaponry is recognizable. They have grenades, tanks, rifles, swords, shields, etc, etc. And all that looks very familiar. When you would think that if their societies developed in completely different environments, that their weapons would look and act as alien as they are. But they don't, really. There's a few differences, yes. The needler has a quirk that an smg doesn't have, and the plasma grenade acts differently from a frag grenade. But beyond that, they're not too different from our weapons. They're still a small automatic projectile launcher and a toss-able rotund explosive.

The beyond-the-4th-wall reason is obviously that the game developers wanted to make the alien guns as intuitive to the player as the human guns. But it's not hard to believe that the same rule of trial and error from biological evolution is at play here for technological evolution. What works, just works, and the aliens more than likely went through the same processes of discovery, ingenuity, and invention that we did on earth. And what worked, did, and what didn't fell out of use. And in the end, they came to a lot of familiar conclusions. And a lot of familiar technology.

tame arrow Apr 12, 2021, 4:11 PM

#

I dont think the original developers at bungie really meant for the guns to be just the exact same on each side. While guns where similar, each was meant to play a direct role in the environment (i.e. all the covenant weapons where projectile based and could destroy shields or had special effects while human ones where faster but did less damage against shields but did more damage on non shield based enemies) so while some may have been similar, I dont think it's right to say they had a close to maybe exact evolution (especially since it was shown that the covenant had many forerunner artifacts that where easily reverse engineered on there planets which definitely boosted there culture growth exponentially)

stable flower Apr 12, 2021, 4:23 PM

Could be more psychic signals being sent to Chief. Afterall the Arbiter is there with him and doesn't seem to see her when he asks "what do you see?"

this is probably a weird topic to discuss especially considering that halo infinite hasn't released yet, but what sort of story should the next halo offer? (after infinite) I'm just curious as to what everyone else thinks the ideal story for halo after infinite would be. Maybe it would be halo set on earth, except instead of New Mombasa, you could be in Los Angeles and it could revolve around a sort of revolt against ONI for example? or maybe the same thing except with the covenant instead? This is just one idea, so I'm curious as to what everyone else thinks...

personally I do think it would be cool if we were to play as, say a gang member who was a former spartan II in an earth city, like Sydney or NYC, particularly because we've seen a lot of space and many different species besides humans. I'm not against that at all, however I would also like to know the culture and society of humanity during that period. I think that it would be cool to learn about other humans' beliefs and thoughts about the world, even covering things such as religion, politics, etc. We learned a lot about humanity's progress in halo as well as conflicts with other species, but it would definitely be interesting if halo did take a different direction after infinite, focusing on humanity's societal and cultural side rather than their conflict with extraterrestrial beings as well as ancient relics of past species.

i mean we are talking 500 years from now, its certain that oni has some sort of tracking system, that or they're just extremely good at finding them on their own

#

only solution for that is for the spartan to disable the tracker, possibly through hacking it. They could destroy it too but that would definitely need surgery and since they most likely don't have a human record they can't get to a hospital. Even then the hospital would probably turn you in

Just use base sprint speed as a random example

Spartan II's 55-67 kph (34-41 mph. The speeds of Spartan II's changes like every book, kelly is said to be the fastest yet in other novels and all that her 65kph seems to be a baseline all spartan II's can reach, even tho Chief has completely breached that and once sprinted at 129kph)

About spartan-IIs and IIIs. The way he framed them being more than human and so on and flawless

#

When a lot of the books and media has been on humanizing them. On the flaws and mistakes and that they’re still human

#

Even halo 4 did

#

So the entire permise that 2s and 3s are beyond human and the 4s aren’t is so flawed

#

Even kelly G’s new books on guilty spark teach us how, being human is more than simply being our base biological self.

vocal lantern Apr 14, 2021, 9:17 AM

I would like another short movie like they did with halo 4

main rivet Apr 14, 2021, 10:40 AM

#

I mean the bigger problem with that attitude that the IIs and IIIs were "flawless" is they're only flawless if you think brutal discipline and 100% combat training makes child soldiers into effective troops. And that's probably the most fantastical part of Halo, including slipspace.

#

The real world has ample evidence that it doesn't work well.

#

The Spartans of yore probably owe their reputation more to burnishing by chroniclers than their own combat prowesse.

#

Basically it's a miracle more Spartans haven't snapped, even if you suppose that part of the screening was to prevent that occurrence. Master Chief not being able to stop working even after a tragedy would be the norm not the exception his fellow Spartans are worried about (although I think you can argue definitely Fred have become acclimatized to normal human interaction more than Chief and many others.)

versed helm Apr 14, 2021, 11:23 AM

I can see the logic behind this stance. The Spartan IIs are literally entering missions with people who they regard as family members, so every loss would be psychologically catastrophic for them. It makes me question why they did not receive any psychological training to begin with.

Insurrectionists still occupies a small area of Reach

Even when UNSC abandons it, the Insurrection continues their settlement at where the area was not glassed.

slim thorn Apr 16, 2021, 11:17 AM

That's not possible when you want the command to see the battle directly

good thing we got cameras for that

Don't trust tech too much

If your camera is toast, you will be permanently blind

or we can have an observation deck

slim thorn Apr 16, 2021, 11:17 AM

That makes thing more complicated

versed helm Apr 16, 2021, 11:17 AM

#

how?

slim thorn Apr 16, 2021, 11:18 AM

#

Issuing orders, relaying orders, to the point where it needs to be verified, etc.

versed helm Apr 16, 2021, 11:18 AM

#

yeah it's called radio

slim thorn Apr 16, 2021, 11:18 AM

#

And it delays the action

#

Even modern warships at the gun deck needs a verification before they lock on target.

versed helm Apr 16, 2021, 11:19 AM

#

which makes sense

#

if a stray shot hits the command deck ship is instantly disabled

slim thorn Apr 16, 2021, 11:19 AM

#

Not really, since the command deck was more fortified than other sections.

versed helm Apr 16, 2021, 11:19 AM

#

it's a glass window lol

slim thorn Apr 16, 2021, 11:21 AM

#

Just remember how stupid the Jiralhanae is when commanding a Covenant fleet. They can't do much without direct visual from the bridge.

versed helm Apr 16, 2021, 11:21 AM

#

well the elites command the ship

slim thorn Apr 16, 2021, 11:21 AM

#

Elites are faster because they're used to it.

versed helm Apr 16, 2021, 11:22 AM

#

more like they got the experience

#

brutes aren't that dumb

slim thorn Apr 16, 2021, 11:22 AM

#

But then again, they lost even they have 3 to 1 advantage

versed helm Apr 16, 2021, 11:22 AM

#

because elites have more experience

slim thorn Apr 16, 2021, 11:26 AM

#

It's basically a common sense where the command deck must have a direct visual regardless it has a big risk of getting hit or faster on relaying command. The old rule still stands where you need direct visual to ID the vessels or observing the battlefield. Even if the Command deck is out, there are auxiliaries everywhere, so the ship remains operational without command. Gettysburg is a perfect example for it, where all bridge crew are dead, but VADM Whitcomb and Blue Team can still operate it.

rain imp Apr 16, 2021, 11:28 AM

#

I always found it funny how Sangheili were like "Be honourable! Engage the enemy and never shy away!" and then like "Put ourselves in the middle of the ship! We might get hurt otherwise!" 🙂

#

But yes, agree with @slim thorn on this one. Never fully trust technology.

versed helm Apr 16, 2021, 11:29 AM

#

which doesn't make any sense because space is big so even finding a ship through direct visual would be absurd

#

even modern navies don't use direct visual to spot ships

rain imp Apr 16, 2021, 11:30 AM

#

You're saying you never see people with binoculars on modern ships?

versed helm Apr 16, 2021, 11:30 AM

#

don't they use radar

rain imp Apr 16, 2021, 11:30 AM

#

Among other things, yes.

#

Like I said. Never rely FULLY on one technology.

slim thorn Apr 16, 2021, 11:31 AM

#

Yeah. UNSC Gettysburg was a perfect example for it. The bridge or command deck was destroyed, but the ship remains operable, which Whitcomb and Blue Team can utilize it for OPERATION: FIRST STRIKE.

For modern navies, you still need a direct visual for kill confirmation. Radar can be deceitful, but direct visual is the best way to confirm if the target is actually destroyed.

rain imp Apr 16, 2021, 11:31 AM

#

The Mk. I eyeball is always a great backup and verifier.

#

With technology in general: Trust, but verify.

slim thorn Apr 16, 2021, 11:31 AM

#

The covenant make a mistake by destroying Gettysburg's bridge, but not ensuring the ship was destroyed.

versed helm Apr 16, 2021, 11:31 AM

I think you're missing the point. Noone is saying don't use technology. They're saying don't fully rely on it.

rain imp Apr 16, 2021, 11:32 AM

yes, and then you have humans verifying things on consoles/screens/windows.

figured sangheili would be focused on furthering their species, and any good 'warrior blood' vya standard mating. and thus consider anything that would hinder it, heresy, or at least a disgraces

gilded mason Apr 16, 2021, 11:59 PM

#

I figure that as long as supposedly high-skill ones took the time to ensure future generations, they were free to do whatever. Not like it'd be a binary deal. That is, if they were even obligated to do so in the first place, rather than just having high priority if they so chose.

red wraith Apr 17, 2021, 5:54 PM

#

no

#

so who do you think needs more lore in blue team and who do you think till die in halo infinite because they said someone in halo 5 would die in halo infinite ( I hope its not Linda)

#

will

humble yacht Apr 17, 2021, 5:56 PM

#

Who’s “they”

#

343 hasn’t said anything about anyone dying

red wraith Apr 17, 2021, 5:56 PM

#

huh maybe it was a leak

#

idk

humble yacht Apr 17, 2021, 5:56 PM

#

Can’t talk about leaks, whether they’re real or fake

shell steppe Apr 17, 2021, 5:56 PM

#

more or less speculation at this point

#

won't know until it happens

red wraith Apr 17, 2021, 5:57 PM

#

yeah I shouldnt trust leaks

#

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm but who do you think needs more lore for infinite

pulsar pivot Apr 17, 2021, 6:05 PM

#

Osiris

#

Fireteam osiris

red wraith Apr 17, 2021, 6:06 PM

#

yeah

#

but how do we think there gonna make a return like

#

are they gonna still hunt Chief

strong tinsel Apr 17, 2021, 6:13 PM

#

What does the halo ring mean at the end of halo 5 legendary

#

and what does the start of halo 2 mean with locke

red wraith Apr 17, 2021, 6:13 PM

#

Zeta halo maybe

#

idk with Locke

carmine sleet Apr 17, 2021, 6:14 PM

#

The Locke stuff at the beginning of H2A was to tease Halo 5

red wraith Apr 17, 2021, 6:15 PM

#

ohhhhhhhh yeah

#

but I did see other hunters

carmine sleet Apr 17, 2021, 6:15 PM

#

You mean Spartans?

red wraith Apr 17, 2021, 6:16 PM

#

yeah hunter Spartans

#

there like ONI headhunters

strong tinsel Apr 17, 2021, 6:16 PM

#

Oh

carmine sleet Apr 17, 2021, 6:16 PM

#

They're just Spartans, there's no "Hunter Spartans"

strong tinsel Apr 17, 2021, 6:16 PM

#

The halo 2 start didnt make any sense

carmine sleet Apr 17, 2021, 6:16 PM

#

And they aren't Headhunters. Those are the members of Osiris in the background

#

Buck, Tanaka and Vale

gilded mason Apr 17, 2021, 6:16 PM

#

I wish they got rid of that scene already

carmine sleet Apr 17, 2021, 6:17 PM

#

I wish the scene worked within the context of Halo 5

#

But alas, not much we can do about it

red wraith Apr 17, 2021, 6:18 PM

#

WHY DID I SEE THE SAME ARMOR LOCK HAD IN THE CUTSCENE AND I KNOW THEY ARENT HEADHUNTERS THEY JUST HUNT FOR SPARTANS THAT WERE MIA

gilded mason Apr 17, 2021, 6:18 PM

#

wut

red wraith Apr 17, 2021, 6:18 PM

#

i think

carmine sleet Apr 17, 2021, 6:18 PM

#

Chill with the caps lock

gilded mason Apr 17, 2021, 6:18 PM

#

That's not their usual job

red wraith Apr 17, 2021, 6:19 PM

#

oh huh

gilded mason Apr 17, 2021, 6:19 PM

#

They just happened to be assigned to find John

red wraith Apr 17, 2021, 6:19 PM

#

huh

#

ok

#

ok im just confused about osiris at this point they do need ore lore and maybe a few comics and a book for them

#

more

carmine sleet Apr 17, 2021, 6:30 PM

#

Locke has Halo Nightfall, Vale has Hunters in the Dark, Tanaka has a few issues of Halo Escalation and Buck has Halo 3 ODST, Halo New Blood and Halo Bad Blood

versed helm Apr 17, 2021, 6:41 PM

#

Yeah, there is a very wide range of material to choose from, lol.

carmine sleet Apr 17, 2021, 6:43 PM

#

They're not Noble Team where the only one to actually get anything outside of their game is Jun

versed helm Apr 17, 2021, 6:47 PM

#

To be fair, Jorge has a small cameo appearance in the visual adaptation of TFoR.

jade wave Apr 17, 2021, 6:49 PM

#

warm galleon ||Why were the Lekgelos so strong in Nightfall? I don’t understand I never heard...

They were Thanolekgolo, they were apart of a failed plan by the forerunners to combat the flood, this was presumably why they were better than regular lekgolo

warm galleon Apr 17, 2021, 7:43 PM

#

Oh tysm

jade wave Apr 17, 2021, 8:14 PM

#

Np

pulsar pivot Apr 17, 2021, 8:51 PM

Thanolekgolo

#

Interesting

humble yacht Apr 17, 2021, 8:51 PM

#

but can they snap?

pulsar pivot Apr 17, 2021, 9:12 PM

#

Exactly what a thought

jade wave Apr 17, 2021, 9:17 PM

#

If they can’t snap I don’t want to hear about them

but photoshop a lekgolo worm on his face

slim thorn Apr 17, 2021, 9:21 PM

#

If the Lekgolo can resist the Infinity Stones radiation, that is...

So what real life human species could be the B'ashamanune?

pulsar pivot Apr 18, 2021, 12:33 AM

#

The what

pulsar pivot Apr 18, 2021, 1:08 AM

#

So what rank would a elite have to be to get a energy sword

humble yacht Apr 18, 2021, 1:20 AM

#

in the covenant, even minors could get swords for combat purposes

pulsar pivot Apr 18, 2021, 1:24 AM

#

Oh interesting

#

I haven’t read up on this, but how exactly did Spark survive?

pulsar pivot Apr 18, 2021, 1:25 AM

#

He ran like hell?

gilded mason Apr 18, 2021, 1:25 AM

#

His internal components weren't destroyed by the blasts

#

Just the outer shell

vocal aspen Apr 18, 2021, 1:25 AM

#

Gotcha, thanks.

humble yacht Apr 18, 2021, 1:26 AM

#

he transferred his data onto the UNSC rubicon just before he ran out of power

#

so for awhile, he was a ship

vocal aspen Apr 18, 2021, 1:27 AM

#

Which book was it when he transferred to an Armiger?

humble yacht Apr 18, 2021, 1:28 AM

#

renegades, maybe

Yup

versed helm So what real life human species could be the B'ashamanune?

Greg Bear said that maybe they could be Australopithecus or something similar but he didn’t really go too much into them

#

Says in the wiki for the behind the scenes tab

vernal notch Apr 18, 2021, 2:22 AM

#

Is there any lore or reason why there are so many different types of marines mashed together in halo 4?

jade wave Apr 18, 2021, 2:22 AM

#

What do you mean by different types

vernal notch Apr 18, 2021, 2:31 AM

#

Like, on the desert of requiem, you have the camo guys, guys in black and some other mixed up ones

#

What happened to just the normal uniform green for the marines? Oni security is fine to me, i just wish they didnt have such inconsistent helmets

jade wave Apr 18, 2021, 2:32 AM

#

Lord wise the unsc probably just had more specialized battalions and companies on the Infinity

#

None lore wise 343 wanted to create their own style

#

I don’t think it’s explicitly stated

vernal notch Apr 18, 2021, 2:35 AM

#

I think it would’ve been better if the desert mission had those tan camo dudes

pulsar pivot Apr 18, 2021, 4:10 AM

#

Eh

tepid vault Apr 18, 2021, 5:28 AM

#

Yeah black absorbs light and makes it hot and sweaty right?

#

So the marines would be a bag of sweat

jade wave Apr 18, 2021, 5:29 AM

#

Truly

tepid vault Apr 18, 2021, 5:34 AM

#

Also are h5 grunts aquatic? They seem crablike

strong tinsel Apr 18, 2021, 12:43 PM

I dont like the design halo 5 uses for the elites

That would be nice

tepid vault Apr 18, 2021, 2:49 PM

Yes

#

I’ve been seeing this SFM dude make some really good halo animations, and imma say, using the reach models really makes it all the better

unique rune Apr 18, 2021, 2:51 PM

#

Nobody does either
I mean. I do.

#

Not my favorite Sangheili design (that would be the H2A/W2 version) but I’d probably rate it around the same as Reach’s.

They did look good

But the

It makes me laugh

#

Sword elite AI get nerfed lol

pulsar pivot Apr 18, 2021, 3:02 PM

#

I would love to see 343 use the ranks that reach did

#

Speaking of ranks

#

Which is a higher rank

#

Zealot or ultra

carmine sleet Apr 18, 2021, 3:11 PM

#

Zealot is higher

Oh boy
