so are the prometheans just left over forerunner machines, like sentinels?
That or Forerunners have glowing skulls for faces
The Prometheans were living at one point, maybe they've just been taken over by AI, hence the skull?
Reminds me of those suits from the Fallout New Vegas DLC.

how do orbital defense platforms stay in orbit? it seems like the recoil generated by launching a 3,000 metric ton slug at 120,000 km/s per second would push it straight into the planet that it orbits.

Very large thrusters

Thrusters, stabilizers, giant springs, magic. Take your pick.
Someday, I will co-op every halo game in one marathon.
it will be glorious....:suicide:
Anyone else plan on some stupid shit like that for the sake of Halo 4 or anything?

I had a huge craving to play Halo 2 so I did that last night. It was on the 360 though so after the first cutscene I started seeing artifacts :( I don't feel like setting up my Original Xbox. :(

They were a sect of Forerunner who mutated themselves from "citizen" to "warrior," making them among the highest caste of Forerunner fighters. They opposed the Halo Arrays (smartest thing Forerunners have done in my opinion), fought extensively in the Forerunner-Flood War, and left behind defensive constructs in Reqiuem, who Chief will be fighting.

So those things aren't living?

[quote=Halo Wiki]For ODP, a pair of thrusters on the bottom side of the station fire for a few seconds to counteract the inertia imparted to the station. It normally takes five seconds to recharge the capacitors as well as load the slug, which is why boarding craft are usually deployed to take the stations out.[/quote]

Same here, i'm curently planning on roaming through Halo 3, so far it's me and a classmate who's going to do it.
[QUOTE=Jurikuer;37651114]So those things aren't living?[/QUOTE]
Nah, they just really look like living things. They're sentient constructs with organic-looking insides. I don't know why an AI would feel the need to waste an opportunity to stab Chief by showing him his scary skull-face, but, eh.
GUYS.
I'M AT A FINANCIALLY MENTAL IMPASSE.
WHAT GET???
HALO 4 OR WII U
BOTH COME OUT VERY CLOSE TO EACH OTHER.

Halo 4, OFC.
Honestly, nothing about the Wii U interests me in the least.
So Halo 4 gets my vote.

Halo 4 for sure. We don't even know if the Wii U will be worth it. The launch titles are all ports from current systems except for a few. So I'm guessing the first year will be a slow one for the Wii U. It's still only current gen, and people are still disappointed in the Wii.
Hey guys, i have a problem.
Yesterday i played some H3 ODST Firefight and i got some really nice pics, problem is that Bungie don't update their Halo stuff and i can't find the Halo 3 ODST screenshots on Waypoint.
Help?

I want there to be a Halo 2 Anniversary, you have to admit, big fan of anniversary remakes or not, the idea of online co-op and an actual functioning game is too good to pass up.
Non-Stop Romantic Halo experience :pwn:

Trust me dude, I am EXTREMELY excited and VERY hopeful for a Halo 2 Anniversary. Updated graphics and texture pop in fixes? Yup. Take my money!

I have a gut feeling they will make it, Halo is Microsoft's big ticket to console gaming as a series and Halo 2 basically made XBL what it is today. Personally I just want it so I can co-op with my boyfriend. Every halo is online co-op besides Halo 2.
Come on 2014, you can't come fast enough.
It'd be interesting, to see if they'd re-use 90% of the models from the other games or if they'd enhance the Halo 2 models.
HQ Scarab, Spectre and Elite Honour Guards? HHHNNNNGGGGGG.

I'm sure they would, Halo:A I'm pretty sure had its own set of enhanced or edited models.

I'd guess updated Halo 3 or Halo 4 ones, but still :pwn:
