  1. 1. Because it wasn't innovative, and it's popularity was failing. 2. Bungie was the one who designed FireFight Arcade. When 343i took over, they wanted to leave Reach as intact as possible based on the way Bungie set the game up. 3. I was engaged with the story, I got to look forward to something new every week, and we got new lore past the campaign.
  2. Update: Well, the map testing didn't happen, here's why. I got tired and when I woke up, it was 11:00pm. So, it's going on tonight now. If you have a map you want to test, or a gametype, you've come to the right place. I'll be hosting a lobby tonight at 9:00 PM Central Time where everyone involved will get a chance to have one of their maps playtested. Players who just want to join in for customs can join to. Send the GT Onyx 81 a message saying "Invite Me" and at 9:00 I'll invite all of those who sent me a message.
  3. Only problem I see is that the entrance to the Flush is at an angle that would make it so the player is more likely to fly down the center. Try making the entrance a bit at an angle ensuring the player has a nice transistion into the bowl.
  4. Highly unlikely he is there. There is no reason the Ur-Didact's forces would be there at all since the Forerunner Maginot Line was controlled and run by the Builder's and Builder Security.
  5. It only slowed her Rampancy down. Her death was inevitible. Even if part of her was stored in the Ur-Didact or some old data storage, that fragment won't be at full capacity and if it hasn't already, it will go rampant.
  6. Dual Weilding, while infinitely cool, is possibly the hardest thing to balance in Halo. Let's use the SMG as an example. If the SMG is as useful as the Assault Rifle on it's own, it will certaintly be overpowered when dual wielded. But. If you weaken its damage to balance it out for dual weilding, people will only use it when dual wielding. All dual weidable weapons are destined to be weak on their own, which forces players to dual weild them, and in turn, restricts player actions.
  7. The randomness from the Bloom ensures that the DMR will become the most powerful weapon in Halo 4. It can now be used at any range. Not to mention, every DMR duel has an element of randomness with the mod.
  8. It's hard to determine how canon Master Chief's interations with the Halo 3 Terminals are. The first time Mendicant Bias ackowledges Chief's presence in Terminal 3. In Terminal 4, he acknowledges the Covenant's presence. In Terminal 5 he remarks that background processes are attempting to stop his communication with Chief. Then, in Terminal 7 he sends Chief a direct message through the Terminal: You don't know the contortions I had to go through to follow you here, Reclaimer. I know what you're here for. What position do I take? Will I follow one betrayal with another? You're going to say I'm making a habit of turning on my masters. But the one that destroyed me long ago, in the upper atmosphere of a world far distant from here, was an implement far cruder than I. My weakness was capacity - unintentional though it was! - to choose the Flood. A mistake my makers would not soon forgive. But I want something far different from you, Reclaimer. Atonement. And so here at the end of my life, I do once again betray a former master. The path ahead is fraught with peril. But I will do all I can to keep it stable - keep you safe. I'm not so foolish to think this will absolve me of my sins. One life hardly balances billions. But I would have my masters know that I have changed. And you shall be my example. ----------------------------------------------------------- Fragments of Mendicant Bias still exist. When he was captured by the IsoDidact aboard Installation 07, he was dismantled for study as their Ancilla's had never turned on them before. His parts were spread all throughout the Ecumene. However, when the Flood began to gain ground in the war, they came across Mendicant's pieces. They rebuilt him out of all the pieces they could find. As such, there were still pieces of him in the Ecumene still under Forerunner control. So when he made his final assault to try and prevent the Halo Array from being fired, his fleets were defeated as the Halo Pulse wiped out intelligent life aboard his ships. He himself was taken back to the Ark and reprogrammed to think one thought for the rest of his existence. Atonment. So while he isn't at full capacity, he still can interface with certain systems. Because not all of his fragments were recovered though, some still exist in the Orion Arm. One of those being aboard the Forerunner Keyship Truth brought to the Ark. When Mendicant Bias was reunited with that piece, it seems to free him from his locked processes.
  9. We use their names in our language too. Right now, I'm trying to understand why they use english words for Didact, Forerunner, Promethean, Knight, and Artifact. Also, two words I'm stuck on: Uchanse - The most varied word I hear. Sometimes it sounds like 'Nchanse, Uchanse, or even Uchanke. Intoyuko - Sometimes they pronounce it very differently, like Intaiyuko for example.
  10. This is a project I've been thinking of starting for awhile. I've wanted to try and learn as many words in Sangheili as possible. I'd appreciate all the help I can get. The Sangheili Dictionary By The Lord of Admirals, 343i.Org, Halo Archive, and Halo Waypoint A. Arum - Noun - A cultural puzzle meant to teach Sangheili youth patience and determination. B. C. D. Didact - Noun - The Ur-Didact. Domo Incanon - Noun - Human Domo - Noun - Human. shortened. E. F. G. Garei - Noun - You. H. Heiro - Noun - Hand. I. Incanon - Noun - Human. shortened. Intoyuko - Noun - Brother, comrade, compatriate. J. K. L. M. N. Nishum - Noun - Intestinal parasite. often used in a derogitory manner towards Humans. O. P. Q. R. Rakooeium - Noun - Requiem. Rooek - Noun - Ours. possessive. Roke'e - Verb - Rise. Roonaoodo - Noun - Progress S. T. U. Uchanse - Noun - Shipmaster. title. V. W. Wort - Verb - Go. X. Y. Z.
  11. I completely agree, ODST's FF was very entertaining and probably the best. The only thing holding it back was the network issues and lack of matchmaking. I think those would provide very fun gameplay if implemented properly. However, if you really want 343i to hear our voice, make a thread about the return of FireFight here.
  12. I recall that image too. It was a fan interpretation. The biggest fan of the Halo Lore ever works very closely with 343i on certain things that happen. He's an advisor of sorts. I got to see his map of UNSC space. It wasn't complete, but the furthest colony he got to was Arcadia. Interesting enough, I had always assumed that Harvest was the furthest colony despite its actual star system location. According to him, Bungie and 343i use the actual star locations. That means Harvest is only 11 Lightyears from Earth. If you'd like to ask him questions or check his credibility, he goes by the username of ScaleMaster117.
