[@animationcrate]

Halo CE... Funny, 500 years Into The Future, yet your Flashlight Battery Only Lasts One Minute

[@Drkwll]

Gameplay balancing? Mjolnir uses a fusion battery, so you would expect it to last a long time. Unless if the flashlight uses its own battery, but I find that hard to believe.

[@k3x7z]

That suits nuclear. You're telling me it can't spare a AA battery's worth of power to power a flashlight? Lol

Another thing is how you can use the flashlight without a weapon but when you take out a gun, you can see the flashlight is actually on the weapon.

[@Reusablebutton]

That Captain Keyes is one of the most eye opening things in Halo for me With Halo the original when I played it, I couldn't respect his character or just how strong he was, yet throughout the Halo series we have seen how remarkably strong willed he was. Fighting and defeating Covenant at every turn, going above and beyond duty for humanities protection. Makes the intro to Halo 2 that much sadder when you realise just what was lost.

[@Jackle919]

The heretics should have asked the humans for assistance

[@Guyver89]

No because they still hate humanity as well.

[@Jackle919]

They no longer have a reason to hate humanity. THey only hated them because the prophet told them that they were unworthy and that our entire races are heretics and a plague to their gods, the forerunners. After finding out the truth, there is no longer any reason to believe that humanity is a plague. In fact, some elites thought that the humans were pretty brave and honorable after seeing them battle and questions why the prophets dont just have them join the covy. However none ever pointed this out because they are not stupid enough to lose their heads trying to defend humanity

[@Guyver89]

Still the majority of them will be "racist" against humanity only some of the elites thought humanity was a valid candidate for the covenant. Its not as simple as you make it out to be. Plus these heretics were on the gas mining station inside Threshold the gas giant where Installation 04 was and only Cortana knew the coordinates to that system for several months before giving it to ONI. The high prophets smashed the heretics pretty quickly with the arbiter so there was no chance the heretics or the UNSC could ever communicate between each other (with Earth being attacked and all I think the UNSC have bigger problems then some heretics.) Look how large the schism between the sangheili is after the Human-Covenant War, Jul 'Mdama's faction has probably over 40% of the sangheili population's support. So with the heretics it would be the same amount and so the heretics would lose over 40% of their small forces to this. So then there would a heretic remnant vs heretic faction.... its not that simple.

[@Jackle919]

u make a good point

[@funforfem101]

zeakchi I think there are two main reasons many elites would not consult with humans. 1) they were still deeply devout and believed the Forerunners were gods and that the prophets were simply false prophets that misguided them. 2) They did not actually view humans as honorable because they were deceitful could not be trusted.Even the Arbiter did not trust humanity.

[@bornestellar6334]

I wonder what species crash landed on Spark's ring.

[@BrunoZ177]

It is an ancient human spaceship

[@Dardariel214]

I like to think it's a less evolved Precursors, not as advanced as the ones the Forerunners defeated but as it's described the Precursors could be Tier 0 or even Tier 7, the reason as to why I think it's maybe a Tier 1 or slightly advanced Tier 2 is because it keeps them rather undetectable and unknown to the Galaxy they populated but they through countless generations kept the memory of what the Forerunners did to them so they never forget. And the ship was a scout ship as the Precursors are starting to drift back to the Galaxy to finally test Humanity

[@Servellion]

@@aries3968 Never confirmed, but from what we can see of the ship seems to match the style of ships the archeohumans had.

(forerunner warriors). He thus used the composer to create promethean knights. Refusing to acknowledge that he could not win (and fixed on trying to remove the flood without wiping out Forerunners), the Didact used the composer on one group of humans which the Librarian had set aside to rebuild the race. The Librarian then imprisoned her husband (Didact) in the cryptum deep in the core of Requiem. The rings were then fired. The Didact was imprisoned until the events of Halo 4.

looks like the only mystery left these terminals show is the sentient beings that crashed on Installation 04, it was obviously not forerunner because spark would recognise it, the couldn't be the covenant because the covenant hadn't formed yet, humanity was still primitive, it does not resemble anything the flood would fly. in terms of the lore, the only explanation could be the precursors. however even that is still unlikely. it could be a completely different race we don't know about

[@maginciajaz]

fig the flood didn't make their own ships they took over human/forerunner ships therefore the outbreak on installation 05 was contained and never escaped until the humans/covenant found THAT ring

[@Imperialguard82]

It is unlikely to be precursor as after being betrayed by the forerunners the precursors became a form of powder which when added to domestic animals used by ancient humanity mutated them thus creating the flood. So the precursors are the flood.

Let me give you a brief summary, that oracle over there is 343 Guilty Sparks, whom speaks with the same mind set of the Librarian. It depicts the long wait that Guilty had to do after the 2nd purging of the Flood (1st being during Forerunner reign and 3rd during the Halo main story.) It show how Guilty fell into madness and his original though on the Didact and his comrades Chakas and Riser, whom had other thoughts to save the universe (MC's and Cortana's plan was the Didacts plan).

FunFact: the ancient enemies spark is referring to were early humans in the halo lore, humans were already advanced millions of years ago they were the first race to wage war against the flood, they won but they ending up being in forerunner space, causing a war between the two race, the forerunners won, but the humans had the cure to the flood but the forerunners wiped out the humans advanced tech and turned them into the stone age when flood-forerunner war began it was too late...

[@rosePetrichor]

That was one thing I never understood about Halo, the Ark etc; why it was so easy for the humans and the Covenant to just land on the Forerunners' most secret and deadly weapons and run around on the surface. Surely any Forerunner installation of such importance would carry defensive weapons capable of blowing entire fleets out of the sky.

[@funforfem101]

The Halo rings were the main defensive weapon, but the ones we see in the game were meant to house animals and protect them from the firing of the rings as to repopulate the universe. Cannot have defensive turrets blasting away the specimens you are trying to save.

[@Camaroni1000]

They were purposefully kept far away from any civilization. Monitors and sentinels were the defensive system for the rings but they had no fleet or anti air guns really per se. In fact their main purpose wasn’t even for defense but just the upkeep of the ring. Monitors though could make the sentinels attack other life if needed, though this rarely happened.

not a cure, so much as a vaccine. Once your infected I don't think theres any going back unless somehow the flood unmutates you. Like Srgt Johnson was immune to infection

Actually there is no cure, neither a vaccine. It is later learned that the Flood withdrew from the galaxy by its own will. The purpose of the invasion was to test Humanity and check if they still would be the right bearers of the Mantle. As it turned to be the case, the Flood just left, only to come back nine thousands years later and punish the Forerunners. The Forerunners mistakenly thought the data about the "cure" could be found in human memories thanks to their geas. Nevertheless, there are still mysteries surrounding the Timeless One. He told the Didact that there's no difference between the Flood and the Precursors, but that statement remains questionable.

[@BungieStudios]

A last resort if the Rings were used against them? What? The Halo array was their last resort! Between the Flood spreading and Mendicant Bias trying to stop the Forerunners, I find it hard to believe that they had options to defend against the Rings. By what was shared in the Halo 3 Terminals and ARG IRIS terminals, they were rushing to set the pieces into place and use them. A mission that they, themselves, objected to all the way.

[@alonso6300]

The Forerunner trilogy of books details that there were actually TWO sets of Halo rings. The first set was destroyed save for one which was stolen and intended to be used against the Forerunner, or something like that. Read it a long time ago. They do have shield worlds to defend against the Halos, as we see in Halo 4 with Requiem and the books Ghost of Onyx and Glasslands.

[@BungieStudios]

alonso6300 I don't give a crap about those Forerunner trilogy books. Microsoft can't even get their games' canon right. How can I be certain of the validity of those things? Especially when they're written by Karen Traviss and Greg Bear. How are they familiar with the Halo franchise? Micro$oft just hired them to make a quick buck. Ask any Sci-Fi fan, Karen kills every piece of media she touches.

[@funforfem101]

HaloModder555 The writers at 343 had input with the writing of the Forerunner Saga and the Kilo Five trilogy. They are canon because each author did their homework before writing their books and even Greg Bear acknowledges people like his son who "acted as his Vergil" through the process of writing the books. Also how can you knock say you do not trust the Forerunner trilogy on the basis that you do not like Karen? She did not write that trilogy. Lastly, the shield worlds were introduced in The Ghosts of Onyx which was written by Eric Nylund, cannot get any more canon than the original author of the book series.

[@BungieStudios]

Peter Cassidy Your argument is so far off from my points, I'm not even going to bother with you. Especially with that last sentence. I never even brought up an argument against the Shield Worlds existing.

[@funforfem101]

You said "I don't give a crap about those Forerunner trilogy books, Microsoft cant even get their games' canon right." Which was a response to alonso's comments about how the Forerunner's were not scrambling to get the pieces into place, and how they did have a defense against the rings, the shield worlds. By stating you do not care for the Forerunner trilogy you are kind of denying anything they state.

She told jul she wanted revenge in order to get close enough to give them the second piece. With the key the unsc can locate all forerunner tech. with that tech humanity will leap forward millions of years. And achieve ascension and become the ultimate form. Like guilty sparks form. This would make them immortal. The arbiter mentions that the key to everyones survival is in chiefs past. Im disappointed i didnt piece this stuff together sooner. but i still dont know what the next threat could be unless its another flood outbreak but that seems unlikely. Any help?

how was he human they were at war

[@GhettoTako]

oh snap lol ok havent read that ill have to pick it up I was assuming he was forerunner because he said he volunteered.

[@GhettoTako]

oh wow just read the wiki i had no clue! I'll definitely start reading those i only really read onyx and the flood fall of reach ect...

[@darkshadowsleader]

Yes he was the Didacts greatest enemy. The general who had done all that he could do destroy the flood. The forerunners had the flood in there planets without knowing it. He knew that by the time he was able to explain and talk to the forerunners it would already be too late. So he destroyed all life on the planets that were infected with the flood. Like he did to his own planets. And the other planets that were infected. The Didact believed the humans are the universes wort at enemy and are not fit to be alive or even hold the mantle. So he wanted to eradicate them but his wife and the other forerunners made the Didact agree to defeat them and send them back. But when they squared off for there final battle the human general stepped forward and surrendered. After that they finally found out what the humans were running from and that they weren't attacking the forerunners. But it was too late. The forerunners we're too weak from fighting the humans too defeat the flood and they too started to fall. The forerunners had 2 choices. Sacrifice themselves to save the galaxy and all it's species. Or sacrifice every one else and save themselves. The Didact chose to do that. He took the humans and turned them all into AI. The promethean knights. He then went and started doing this to all human's. But the librarian stopped him and imprisoned him in requiem as the last forerunner alive in the whole galaxy. 343 Guilty Spark is the general that fought the forerunners. He is human and so are many other's like him. Alotta AI are ancient humans. All know of the Didact but not of The Great Betrayal. But there were 2 Didacts. The other went on a great journey and left the galaxy. That's why the Prophets and the covenant want to go and do The Great Journey but are confused in what it is. But the Prophets refuse to do anything else but to become like the Forerunners!

The last of us i didn't read your whole post just the beginning so you might have cleared it up but Guilty Spark is Chakas it states it at the end of Primordium

[@AandWProductions]

Well said. On that note, 343 GS was never human either from what I've read. A few failed Spartan-IIs did find jobs among the others at ONI but that is neither here nor there with a vid based on Spark.

15:14 the fourunners ancient enemy is the humans

[@evee608]

question: what is your favorite monitor, mine is 2401

[@pepsiatlas5452]

theres not a a huge selection yknow

[@hoani64]

2401 failed at the only job he had

[@kademorrill7334]

I do not understand what that construct spark talks with is. I originally thought it was a defective covenant AI, but now I have no idea what it is.

[@WhatAreYouBuyen]

Reminds me of the new Arby n Chief

[@Clonetrooper111]

Now I feel massive sympathy for 343. He was literally, just lonely.

[@TheShapingSickness]

I never understood what was that ship that crash landed in halo, was that a human ship? imposible I think, Covie? anyone knows?

[@GoldenPaperclip]

Nope

[@blackjackcorp]

I know! Seriously! These past few days, all I've done in my spare time is do research on Halo's story on the wiki It's all so cool! Everything in my opinion, before the Halo events are the most interesting.

[@mohdfadhil8458]

I am more interested on pre-historic human which I believe more kickass than master chief.

[@bubbajoe117]

in the end Humanity is practicly "re learning" everything that was lost too them when they were devolved. the master cheif is kind of like the catalyst that will lead humanity back to their super entity like status if you ask me.
