That has to be Kermit the Frog as one of the voices. Its just too epic not to be.

Bring a golf club?

Step on them?

Good luck to you and safe missions. Will be keeping you and the rest of our armed forces in my thoughts as always.

I am glad they are not in Halo 4. Was getting tired of a decade of killing them.

I am a fan of the co-op for it but on rare occasion I do solo a few of them.

Glad its not just me then. Thought I was going to sound nuts or that I was bragging or something.

So was it just me or did Legendary get easier as you got to the later missions? I found the first half of the game to be far more difficult on solo Legendary than the second half. Anybody else notice this?

Those "Missions" dont count towards any mission achievements so what does it matter?

But using the hammers on them was so fun.

Basketball sucks...

Well the Forerunners tried to turn AI Prometheans back into organic beings and failed miserably but who knows maybe Cortana will be the first success.

I normally am getting 5950 XP from a single mission doing a matchmade op. If I am solo'ing it or playing in a preset party then you get around the same amount of xp as a war games match.

How is it cheating exactly? Because you get more XP in a single OP than you do in a War Games match? Its not all that big of a deal really. XP is kind of pointless as anybody can get it. Doesnt mean your a good player.

I just had to laugh at this after playing Episode 5. Chapter 5 Episode 5 is all I am going to say.

Its going -------------------> that way

No.

I would rather they save the Flood for a later series instead of putting them back in. We already spent nearly a decade fighting the Flood already. Give them a rest and focus on the Forerunners.

Actually I felt they were together for the majority of the games. Their only two seperations were right after John makes it to the Cartographer in CE but he gets her back right after the Library. Thats all of two missions out of what 10? And then she stays behind at the end of H2 and you recover her in H3. That is the longest stretch they are apart. Mostly though we played as John with Cortana being present until H3. Honestly there has only been one Spartan-II with an AI counter-part. That is John. No other Spartan-II other than him was selected to have one. This is in part due to Cortana herself choosing who would carry her. Who would offer the best compatibility for functionality between AI and organic interface. I think it was up in the 99% range for John which was higher than any other Spartan-II in terms of compatibility. Umm no. Smart AI's while expensive do not cost as much as a fleet. Otherwise why would we have them? While no where near as common as "dumb" AI's there are still quite a few out there. What I think you were getting at was the cost of the Spartan-II program including the MJOLNIR armor systems. That cost as much as a small fleet of ships. Thats an issue to anything that involves an AI really. Doesnt matter if its a Spartan, officer, ship or station. In combat that is always a risk. The original purpose of Cortana was to assist in the capture of a Covenant ship in order to take it back to the Covenant "capital" and either kill or take hostage their leadership in order to force an end to the war. To do this she needed a carrier and a Spartan-II's armor provided a very good vessel for that as she is protected, is able to at performace to that Spartan and be on hand when needed during the boarding action to provide rapid responce to electronic threats. This mission got scrubbed once Reach was attacked. The PoA fled and then Cole Protocol Artical 2 (I think its 2 might be 3) is enacted. Then it becomes Johns job not to let her fall into enemy hands. That is always possible.

Umm that even isnt technically correct. The Spartan-III program had been running since 2531, while Reach fell in 2552. So yes the Spartan-III's were around well before Reach fell according to the books however none of the books list any squads on Reach during its fall. In fact Alpha Company was wiped out completely on one of their missions (though they succeeded in their mission) and Beta Company had two survivors from one of their missions. Those two survivors stayed to train the next company (Gamma Company) and survived with two squads of Gamma Company and a portion of Blue Team along with Mendez and Dr. Halsey. So the books account for all the Spartan-IIIs yet some how a "team" of Spartan-IIIs (claimed as such within the game) are on Reach during those events. A clear contradiction. But yes according to the game they are Spartan-IIIs. Just pointing out that the Spartan-IIIs have been around for a long time. Edit: Sorry quoted the wrong person.

I would rather play Spartan Ops rather than the War Games personally. War games are just boring for me. Atleast the Spartan Ops has some semblence of story line even if it is small.

Personally I think that Cortana could be the first AI to be turned into flesh and bone by the Composer and you have to find her in H5 but who knows.

Well Halo Wars does bother me and lets leave it at that... As for the Flood, I wouldnt use "bad" as a word for it. More like tiresome. We have fought them for an entire series as the main bad guys (or one of them). Its time to let them rest and save them for a later series. To me its too soon for them to return. Right now they are showing so much potential in the Prometheans that I dont want them to give that up. I would love to see a re-ignited Human-Forerunner war. That is what I am hoping for in H5 and H6.

Anything from Halo Wars instantly gets a NO from me. That game was a disgrace to RTS games everywhere and wasnt all that great a Halo game either. I forced myself to play through it just to play through it and I couldnt even manage that it was so bad for me. I literally got sick trying to play that waste of digital space. As for the Flood, I prefer them to stay out of this one. I am fairly tired of fighting them over and over and over again. Give them a series break and maybe come back to them in a future series again. But for now leave them be.

They make a Frank Sinatra AI which sings music to you through H5 and H6.
