The Director

Very well written article. Especially considering the language barrier. Translating from Norwegian to English can be tricky. Keep up the good work in finding and posting news.

A fully automatic Gauss Minigun. Each shot has the power of a shot from a Gauss Turret, and it fires 7000 rpm. Also, just like the Gauss Hog, it has unlimited ammo.

The Halo Reach campaign was the worst one yet. The multiplayer had two things going for it. SWAT and Snipers. That's all though.

You do not remember correctly. ONI never shut down at all. As a matter of fact, the Karen Travis books are all about ONI, post covenant war. The symbol on his head appears to be similar to a player emblem.

This question would probably best be answered on Waypoint I would think. You would be more likely to come across people who've had the same issue there and who know the solution to it. Also, are you signing into the email that you use for your actual XBL profile?

Unless there is no part of the name without the special characters. Or if it's a name that has a special character every 2 characters.

I haven't changed my own name since I became The Director. #TheMoreYouKnow

So I've been watching Psych lately and a though occurred to me. What if Henry isn't really Shawn's dad? What if Shawn was adopted at a very young age because his biological parents were killed? Here's what I think happened to Shawn's real parents. I think that when Shawn was a baby, his parents decided to have an outdoor barbecue. Shawn was all nice and set in his baby chair at the outdoor table on their deck while his real dad cooked up some meat. The trouble began when his real mom brought out the pineapple, for that extra Hawaiian kick on the steak. Little did she know, raccoons absolutely love pineapple. Shawn's parents were subsequently attacked by a gaze of raccoons and were killed. This is why Shawn is terrified of raccoons (even though he probably doesn't know it) and why a pineapple is featured in just about every episode of Psych as a memento to Shawn's real parents.

You either didn't see the "Community Forum" part, or you don't know what it means. This forum is not run by 343i, so demands such as this will fall on deaf ears.

As you wish.

I don't think it will be. We protect a prison of someone isolated We are formidable but also outdated We have great power and an incredible pace We seem majestic but have a stern face Seekers are newer versions of the War Sphinx. Also, since the technology for them hasn't yet been matched, they can't be considered outdated.

Some pretty cool motion shots. We have a better place for them though. Try this out next time: http://www.343industries.org/forum/gallery/

Even so, they would have had the bomb have to create and maintain it's own electromagnetic field WHILE detonating to create the EMP effect. Which to create an EMF you need a massive amount of electrical charge. You would also have to make whatever is creating this charge nuke proof, otherwise the first couple of microseconds of the will vaporize it and the EMF will go poof, resulting in no EMP, resulting in no damage to the covenant vessels (because shields). tl;dr The EMP of the Nova is what is considered to be the most useful against the covenant, and you can't make a nuke emit an EMP in the middle of space.

Dude... Dying via death star is far, far preferable to dying via radiation poisoning from eating the last turnip on earth... Just sayin'.

So this topic is going to be a little edgy, because it is about arguably the single most devastating weapon invented by mankind. The Nuclear Bomb. This snippet is from Wikipedia; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_weapon A nuclear weapon is an explosive device that derives its destructive force from nuclear reactions, either fission or a combination of fission and fusion. Both reactions release vast quantities of energy from relatively small amounts of matter. The first fission ("atomic") bomb test released the same amount of energy as approximately 20,000 tons of TNT. The first thermonuclear ("hydrogen") bomb test released the same amount of energy as approximately 10,000,000 tons of TNT. How nuclear bombs work isn't too complicated and has been done to death, but let's talk about the effects of these weapons of mass destruction. These effects are listed in the order that they arrive. Effect 1: Light When the bomb goes off, the first thing that happens is a blinding flash of light (literally blinding). The cause of this is the initial burst of energy from the explosion (imagine a firecracker's little flash of light and multiply it by more numbers than you brain is comfortable with). The light is SO bright that it can actually cause damage to you on it's own, resulting in burns and other horrifying disfigurements. There were 7 confirmed cases of the light causing a secondary reaction that was also fatal. Curiosity (see effect 3). Effect 2: Electromagnetic Pulse The electromagnetic pulse generated by a nuclear bomb is one of the largest man-made EMP's to exist. The EMP pretty much destroys anything electrical. It is electromagnetic radiation caused by the reactions happening in the initial explosion of a nuclear bomb combining with the planet's electromagnetic fields. This isn't so much deadly to humans as it is to their cell phones and gaming consoles. The nuclear bomb itself DOES NOT CONTAIN ENOUGH EXTRA CHARGES to create an EMP on it's own. Instead it relies on the Earth's ionosphere to generate this effect. This means that without the presence of electromagnetic fields (i.e. ionosphere) a nuke would not be able to produce an EMP. In other words, unless you are close to a planet or a sun, and close enough to critically damage whatever spaceship you are on, your nuke will not be able to pop covie shields. Effect 3: Sound Wave The light travels faster than sound, and so you see the giant flash first. This may cause you (and in the case of 7 people, did) to want to look out your window to see what the light was. Then the sound wave hits, causing your window to shatter so violently that it causes extreme harm to anyone nearby, turning literal the phrase "curiosity killed the cat". Satisfaction won't be bringing it back in this case though. The sound wave is strong enough to shatter glass, cause damage to your internal organs (which, with what's coming next is the least of your problems if you're close enough for that to happen), and blow out your eardrums. Effect 4: Blast Wave This is the one that arguably causes the second most damage. The blast wave of the explosion, for all intents and purposes, disintegrates everything in it's path. It has such an immense amount of heat and pressure that nothing that we have yet to build anything to protect us from "ground zero". We are talking about enough heat to flash-fry anything in it's radius, which is quite extensive. The blast wave is so powerful that it creates "shadows". When an object gets in the path of the blast wave, it shields the surface of what is behind it from the extreme heat. This creates the most macabre shadow in the history of man. The shadow is actually the original color of the object that was shielded, while everything around the shadow was colorchanged due to the extreme heat. Effect 5: Radiation This effect is more devastating than the rest of the bomb in the minds of most. It happens during the blast wave, but the effect isn't pronounced until all is said and done. There are two types of radiation caused by nuclear weapons. Initial Radiation, which is the radiation generated by the explosion itself, and Residual Radiation, which is radiation caused by the initial radiation. Initial Radiation is the "quick" killer, as it affects things immediately (generally resulting in radiation poisoning). Residual Radiation does things like cause cancer, kill livestock and crops, and a slue of other things that radiation is known to do. Residual Radiation can stick around for quite some time. Thankfully in the only two instances of human beings being in the path of the monstrous weapons the weapons were detonated in the air, causing less residual radiation to occur. If they had been detonated at ground level, the two cities would likely have either just become habitable again or still be uninhabitable. There also would have been additional serious consequences, which brings us to the next effect. Effect 6: Fallout No, not the awesome game. Also referred to as "black rain" nuclear fallout is separated in this topic because it has a much more devastating effect than initial radiation. Fallout is caused when a nuclear explosion sucks up water, plants, ground, and pretty much everything within a certain radius, radiates it, and flings it into the sky. Irradiated dust and debris become clouds and irradiated water becomes rain. These "black rain" clouds then travel along the wind currents until condensation takes it's toll on the water, and it begins to rain. This rain has the exact opposite effect than normal rain, causing the death of livestock, plants, and people due to radiation illness. That's not the worst part though. Theoretically, as long as the dust and debris stay in the air, it can catch more condensation and create more black rain. It can do this until the cloud dissipates and floats back to the ground, irradiating everything it lands on. The consequences of fallout are very severe can last a very long time. That, ladies and gentleman, is a look at what a nuclear weapon can do. Start to finish. A nuclear weapon is deadly to EVERYTHING. Inorganic material can be vaporized by the blast, organic material can be destroyed by the blast and radiation, and electronic material can be destroyed by the EMP generated (as long as there is an electromagnetic field available to the nuke at the time, that is). This makes it the potentially deadliest weapon created by mankind thus far.

Topic is nearly 2 years old. Can't believe we missed this one.

How can it not be? You've said it's not related to Spartan Ops or Multiplayer. Only other option is forge. Is it Forge related?

Okay. So, Halo 4 campaign specific, inorganic, non-sentient. Requiem?

Is it related to multiplayer?

Okay. So, Halo 4 campaign specific, inorganic, non-sentient. Right?
