So, spoiler what if cortana is going to alter a halos output to that of a composer beam wave?

Read a book called The Dragon never sleeps by Glen Cook Written '87 so its really dated but it leaves you wondering. It has all the hallmarks of ancient mysteries, The desire to know who were the first ones to Ship AI's subsuming entire crews and going off on their own mission. Massive warships turning on one another as one of their own goes rogue to galaxy wide war breaks out between 2 empires. The difference is humanity are the bad guys still driven by consumption and power but are in our sunset years as a species. There's not much mystery or sense of wonder in halo for myself personally, others new to the game might find it great and love it which I hope they do but the core mysteries have been answered. Its obvious that this installment is about power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely though there is one tid bit that has me interested. Halsey, she knew about Cortana and possibly how and why she's going about reclamation.She also might have some particular reason to be afraid that Cortana was not a normal AI. Halsey might be afraid that Cortana was too an exact copy of herself. oh in the dragon never sleeps these massive warships have soldiers ( marines ) that use power suits when deployed and are replaceable if KIA, their file is brought up and out pops a clone to replace them. The AI is the ships silent mothers but some have started to reach sentience from being in service for over 4000 years since each ships commission. Not bad for a book written 12 years before bungy put together halos story. Sorry for bad grammar. I'm on my phone lol

Interesting direction 343has taken the story but there is obvious lines it could go either this way or that way. Not too thrilled with one characters development, it all feels like mass effect though it saddened me just a tad bit. I was hoping there might be whispers of the flood from outside the rim or precursors returning to take advantage of the void left by the forerunners. Why I would like to know was the point in assembling the guardians in one place? I mean think about it.

So, Put the console away and unhook and restablish your reality back to the physical if you can but i bet you can't.

I've just started following Halo Canon on YouTube. Why? The man has a dedication to the halo history i have yet to come across out there. I know this is probably not the place to put it and understand if it gets routed elsewhere but i found this guy a fount of knowledge and a great reviewer of anything related to Halo. I don't know if he is a member of this great forum, i'm sure he is but i would like to know for those members who follow his channel if they would like to dub him - Monitor HC001 The Archivist or just Archivist. I'm not advertising for the guy or his channel though it might look like it but i honor dedication where i see it. Check his channel and see what you think. His Catalogue video's are out there and that's what i honor, the nuttyness to go there.

So, we see the team in guardians? There is one point i thought might've been a possibility. The chief just ignored Hoods order and has gone off dragging the team with him without command knowing, I knew it. Oni sends Locke out on a kill order but could be wrong as it is a bit early. This will be a first, if Guardians is based around able to play all characters. The chief and blue team to Locke. Different, might work. Thanks man.

Could you or anyone update me on the Ark theory? During the fight the Didact could've swatted them aside using his force projectors unless it can only be concentrated on one object at a time. It would've been better to have the Spartans in a running retreat from the Didact who subdues them one at a time without the dialogue. The silent predator, a Reach feel would've been nice. So, where does this leave us?

What's going on with the escalation 10? That's a bit out there. Different, not what i was expecting. If anything it just puts us back to the beginning.

I'm sure he's says ' The key to our future lies in his past.' There's something about halo 2. The Librarian upscaled his body or evolved him but maybe she had implanted a code in our genome that once coaxed out can make us immune to the flood, there wasn't enough time or the adequate population numbers to make it effective. The flood had taken too much of the galaxy so she decided to let it ride until someone would come a long. I think he's being drawn on by the gene song. he needs to be reworked to be able to face the Didact and whatever comes after him. Installation 05? is there anything on it that could be a link? She did say to him in H4 ' Even your ancilla Cortana '

You know what? They could do something completely different, they could have blue team in the campaign with the chief and you get to choose the member you want to play after you complete the first run through. 2nd, you play Locke as the mistaken antagonist but you or they don't know you're up against each other until somewhere in the game the story allows it to be meshed together. 3rd, you get to play as the Didact.

Locke is a oni special artifact and retrieval expert and assasin, He was orphaned during the covenant when his planet was glassed. A part of his spec sheet is on one of those videos released to advertise xbox channel. I can't remember which one but it had kiki wolfkil on it.

I wonder how far along the timeline will H5 be set? Escalation 8 places events within 72 hours after H4. So seeing it from that angle will there be a new Mark level armor for the chief so soon? How far up the time line was Spartan Ops? 6 months to a year? Yeah i'm confused at the moment.

I would love to see something like the flood be able to upscale it's attack methods to grabber tentacles that can drag an ordinary human back towards the flood form but only be able to stop you from moving until you either melee it's arm off or you shoot it inert. This could pose a problem for the boys if 2 or 3 flood tentacle you at once.

What about shoulder charge? I've seen that somewhere or fore arm retractable blades for silent ninja kills. good for slicing flood arms off.

Yep. I had a gripe withe canon on how the flood was first deseminated in ancient times. It would have been better to have it as a mystery from infections on outer rim mining facilities. It would be more believable than frikkin canisters of powder then this powder is fed to our pets? Believable rather than the fantastic in a story.
