Nitsua Asuka Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 Ever since I've been playing Halo I've always wondered one thing. What happened to the civilians? I wondered this because all we know about is the military side to things in the universe. Did the able bodied get drafted into the military ? Are they being protected in/around military bases? Or are they all in the military or wiped out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZB-85 Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 The civilians just went on with there natural lives. Some most likely got drafted into the military if they were able to. Some of them would live at the bases if needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drizzy_Dan Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 Yes the civilians are always there in cities but we're only following the military aspect of things in the games because that's where the protagonists lie. They're on colony worlds and stuff too, they're there but you only come in contact with them in Halo Wars and Halo: Reach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veer Zamamai Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 It was only skipped to key events and we only played mission. Whilst playing recent installments I never really thought about the Civilians that were in place, but when Reach came out and we started to see the Civilians I did start to wonder where they were in other installments of Halo. In future installments I would like to see some Civilian activity in the game, like we did in Reach. On games like Halo 3 and Halo 2 I felt alone whilst going through the game by myself. However, when Reach came out I felt that not so much as the Civilians acted as a counterpart for this. Also, we never really played in major cities in any installments before, which I think might be why there were none. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PuRe PoNy Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 There were some human engineers in Halo 3 so they are technically civilians. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MitchellCM Posted May 21, 2012 Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 The civilians are still around. They just so happen to be far away from where you are. Normally throughout the Halo series you as the player are in areas that you wouldn't expect to find civilians (Halo rings, Abandoned New Mombasa). The civilians are probably hiding somewhere in a deep dark hole, probably similar to the crows nest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No-one said that they'd disappeared, just that we did not see much of them throughout the games, pardoning Halo: Reach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ardent Prayer Posted May 27, 2012 Report Share Posted May 27, 2012 I never actually though about them. I think they stay in UNSC Bases and Colony Ships. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veer Zamamai Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 I never actually though about them. I think they stay in UNSC Bases and Colony Ships. I'm not quite sure, I think they're still on the planets but just in different locations. You don't appear to be in many city locations when playing the games, just battle grounds and such.
