[QUOTE=Arachnidus;35615014]I guess FUD's fusion reactor was still online, and the back hull of the ship was relatively intact. She was likely able to transfer herself into the ship's systems and move back and forth between the Chief's armor and the ship, or left fragments of herself (we know she can do that as per the books and Reach).[/QUOTE] I still think it was BS in Halo 2 how chief could absorb Cortana with his hand and transfer her between computers without even touching them. Such as the Covenant's servers on High Charity which IMO would be a stretch of a stretch that they have remotely compatible computer systems.
iirc Chief's Armour uses covie tech.
[QUOTE=Delta616;35615018]Wow, only look me a couple hours.[/QUOTE] try it with all the explodey skulls on. let me clarify, i'm stuck on the warthog run.
[QUOTE=Arachnidus;35613165]Also, I've just realized that the human forces took a near 100% loss of personnel during the Battle of the Ark. None of the major figures (Johnson, Chief, Keyes) made it back, and we don't see any human ships leaving, though I suppose some could have evacuated with the Sangheili fleet when High Charity crashed down.[/QUOTE] Sergeant Pete Stacker made it back! Of course, his existence is debatable.
I could care less about chiefs armor or how exactly it was changed and when and all that shit I want to see more badass cutscenes of him throwing bombs into covenant carriers and shit like that

[QUOTE=TheChantzGuy;35615724]I could care less about chiefs armor or how exactly it was changed and when and all that shit I want to see more badass cutscenes of him throwing bombs into covenant carriers and shit like that[/QUOTE] Correction: he flew a bomb into a covenant carrier in zero g
For a brick, he flew pretty good. If I understand the Podcast correctly, every multiplayer mode will give around the same amount of experience as normal online. SP like reach won't give as much, but it will still give.
Part of the Conan thing: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GflJB-aM0wI[/media]
damn I meant to record that There is a picture on a TV around 6:20-40 shows a landed new type of dropship(?), guessing that is the Infinity Hangerbay, its pretty big. [editline]18th April 2012[/editline] [t]http://i.imgur.com/RU9lE.jpg[/t]
I don't really care for the novels, so could anyone fill me in on the basics of what happened in between combat evolved and halo 2? I never really thought about it until now and it's really bothering the shit out of me
According to the 343 Podcast, there will be a CG series that takes place over a 'season' of Spartan Ops that the missions will tie into.
That short BR footage near the end was pretty cool.

[QUOTE=Tuskin;35615449]iirc Chief's Armour uses covie tech.[/QUOTE] That's just shield generator, which was reverse engineered from Jackal shields
[QUOTE=d00msdaydan;35616574]That's just shield generator, which was reverse engineered from Jackal shields[/QUOTE] which I always thought was pretty fucking impressive. They took a jackal shield, which is more or less flat and round, and made a full body shield that rivals if not bests the elites.

I never really thought about it until now and it's really bothering the shit out of me[/QUOTE] Chief and Cortana pick up Johnson and some marines and blow up a covenant fleet bound for earth. Brutes are introduced. Nothing highly important to the games happens.
[QUOTE=d00msdaydan;35616574]That's just shield generator, which was reverse engineered from Jackal shields[/QUOTE] Its actually from an older model of jackal shield technology which was more closer to forerunner I do believe. Though, correct me if I'm wrong but I was pretty sure they mentioned the wrist shield being different too other jackals ones.

Stacker and Reynolds made it back, but them as canonical characters is currently doubtable.
[QUOTE=Raijin;35616442]That short BR footage near the end was pretty cool.[/QUOTE] It sounds so weak though. I liked the DMR better, which was more of a 'pang' than a 'pffrt'
[QUOTE=Bokito;35619402]It sounds so weak though. I liked the DMR better, which was more of a 'pang' than a 'pffrt'[/QUOTE] Kinda hard to hear the gunfire when Conan is screaming in agony.
[QUOTE=Tuskin;35616061] [t]http://i.imgur.com/RU9lE.jpg[/t][/QUOTE] Seems like a new pelican to me.
Might be rough block ins of the pelicans.
[QUOTE=ZombieDawgs;35620998]Might be rough block ins of the pelicans.[/QUOTE] Looks like it. Can't see why they'd design them like that, unless they're brand new, which, considering the [I]Infinity[/I] is entirely possible.
I'm not seeing the oddity of the Pelicans that you guys are talking about. Maybe I haven't played enough Halo recently and paid attention to Pelicans. And if we for some reason ever have to make a V9, I propose the thread title be "Never forget Dustin Echos' sacrifice"

HALO 4 IS THE WORST GAME EVER MADEEE But seriously, I find it kinda pointless. There's already a medal and an announcer, so it's a bit silly.

There's already a medal and an announcer, so it's a bit silly.[/QUOTE] Somewhere on 343F, some idiot is going "HURR, IT'S JUST LIKE COD" But yes, the text in the middle of the screen is clutter and just bad. Look at how rabid the Killzone community got when Killzone 3 had center screen XP indicators.
honestly it looks like something i'd get used to anyways
A bit off topic from the current halo 4 discussion, but halo nonetheless, anyone remember this? [video=youtube;kmoND4u63fg]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kmoND4u63fg[/video] [quote]Halo DS was a Halo game that was planned to be released on the Nintendo DS, but was canceled as certain deals did not work out. A playable version existed before its cancellation. In January 2007, Matt Casamassina of IGN claimed he played a version of Halo for the Nintendo DS. On October 2, 2007 he demonstrated on-camera, and in-game footage of an early-development style version of Halo DS. The demonstrated work featured dual-wielding and a version of the Halo 2 map Zanzibar. Bungie employees later explained the Halo DS demo was in fact an unsolicited pitch that was never taken on.[/quote] I always wish I had copy, even though I know pretty much none of it got out save for Matt Casamassina. I posted this because I was looking through my basement and found a DS next to second copy of halo 2 I had (It was a gift I think). Memories.
