You cleared up an inconsistency that was on my mind, where at two points in Halo 3 it was hinted that the Humans are the Forerunners' "children": (mainly where Gravemind says something like "I will not forgive you, the child inherits the parents' sins" (which is evil). I thought of saying, "the humans aren't the Forerunners' children."

Small tid bit about alpha moon but general kidd ages made a video about the room we find the gravemind in in his cutscene and it's a retuxtured version of the alpha halo control room. Considering quarantine zone uses many of those alpha moon assets it's possible that room was a reused asset from the level.

Slogging through the campaign and having it dawn on me that the glorious, 'wide linear' combat sandbox semi-freeform structure of the first game had been dumped in favour of a sequence of tightly linear corridors and small rooms was the second. Comparing campaign to campaign halo 2 was a real disappointment.

The original ending of Halo 2 would make the Halo Legends Episode: Origin Part II make much more sense with how it stated that "the Covenant" and humanity would join forces together to take down the Flood. Considering the og Halo 2 ending seem to imply the Flood will continue build up their army some where far away to one day return and take over everything once more. The old Halo 2 ending would fit more in-line with that than the story we have now.

I agree with how much you enjoy the original twist of the Halo 2 ending. I also think that it makes the narrative so much sweeter. I wasnt aware that Halo 2 was supposed to be the end, however. That’s is a little odd. I would have loved a Halo 3 all about the humans and elites/the Covenant who left the group teaming up to take down the Flood. You have a three part trilogy that just feels so satisfying. The Covenant who was built on the worship of the Forerunners end up helping their descendants- the humans- take down an enemy that the Forerunners themselves could not in the past. The sacrifice of the Forerunners would also feel very satisfying to us knowing that they did the right thing.

1:32 Fun fact, this whole level is a reference to a similarly cut down sequence in Marathon Infinity: the episode 2 map Naw Man, He's Close was supposed to begin with Marcus Jones (the security officer as hinted in one of the secret levels & his first name given in the fan WAD based on a scrapped Halo 1 story, Marathon Eternal) space jumping to Durandal's stolen Pfhor ship Boomer (from the first game), land on the hull and climb a tower surrounded by a pool of the strange pink jelly used as fuel (liquid thundrillium crystals from the 2011 Thundercats anime?) and enter the ship via a hull breach Tycho & the pfhor made for you. This ended up being cut when the map was reworked and the level now starts with Marcus simply entering via that same hull breach and the vacuum tag for the map was removed. The level name was a referring to the space jump at the start which was a reference to someone bungie jumping or something during the bridge scene in Apocalypse Now (I've seen that far in the movie but you don't see anyone on a wire, just hear them). Covenant Ship was meant to be Bungie's chance to finally include that set piece now they had the technology.

i would of loved if cortana was pretending to be on gravemind side then once masterchief is there to claim her back then activate some trigger systems she planted all this time and kills the gravemind ., i think that would of been a very satisfying conclusion

Sesa opened fire because Arbiter was starting to lower his weapon. A detail that wasn’t in the remaster. Perhaps Sesa thought he was going to fire People can easily mod the Gears Locust into Halo but make it a primarily Brute faction

Bungie's "humans are forerunner" concept was a better story, I definitely agree with that, but it would have ended the Halo franchise. It would have left fewer rocks to turn over. The forerunner mystery would have been solved. 343's direction of "humans aren't forerunner" opened many more doors. There have been more directions to stretch out the franchise. It was the more profitable decision.
@2fangz2963 ай бұрын
Bungie intended to end Halo at 3 so unlike 343 they had no intention of future profits they had a solid story and a solid ending. Then 343 got greedy

The funny thing is the 'humans aren't forerunner' only opens up doors because it preserves the mystery of the Forerunners... and stretch the franchise by undoing H3's Forerunner reveal. 343 in their marvelstarwars 'expanded universe' brainrot decided to remove all the mystery by ltierally detailing all aspects of Forerunner society and even reveal their faces...

@@AimlessJourneyI love how you try to use marvel and Star Wars as insults, but they have bigger fandoms then Halo, are more successful, and 100% actually having mysteries pay off rather than relying on mystery boxes is better.

The Halo 2 Artifacts four part podcast contradicts your info on the mongoose and why it didn't make it into the finished game. It was down to lack of dev time, but they really wanted it in. Was never cut per se.

I’m looking forward to that video on the forerunners as I’ve always preferred them being separate as a more compelling story and seeing the other side of the fence is always interesting, but considering my halo fan card as been revoked for only liking the shadow I guess that make sense lol.

It doesn't really make sense for them to be separate as humans being Forerunners is the reason the Human-Covenant War started.

Glad you finally addressed the forerunner human debate. I don’t care if people have a preference, but the amount of newer fans who refuse to acknowledge a change was made by 343 regarding humans and forerunner being one in the same needs to be put to rest.

flood don't gain everything when infecting someone, they have to sift through the knowledge so the knowledge is probably in the body until everything can be sent and stored to a central inteligence possibly put into whatever keeps the gravemind's memories of everything. Remember that the flood didn't get info out of Keyes immediately
