People's nostalgia creates undue admiration when it comes to their first game/first game in a series.

It's partly why people are so rabid about Halo 3 despite it being mediocre.
>>
>>155198156
It's partly why people are so rabid about Halo 2 despite it being mediocre.
>>
>>155198284
Objectively speaking, there are more people that like Halo 3 to Halo 2. Either for starting on 3 first, or not being able to look at a game critically to notice the flaws of 3.
>>
>>155198284

>>
>>155198339

I've really never met someone IRL who really puts ANY thought at all into looking at a game critically, sad to say.

Most of my High School friends were CoD kids who spat on Halo first and foremost because it wasn't *realistic*. They adored CoD because it was "realistic" and because adverts tell them that CoD is the best game ever, and they believe them without hesitation.

One of the few people who didn't play exclusively CoD (and sports games) was something of an Alien and/or Predator fanatic. And when I mentioned that the Aliens: Colonial Marines game had sorta bombed his sole complaint was "Yeah... the graphics weren't that good."
>>
>>155198156
You realize the same can be said about CE and any other game in the series right?
>>
>>155199029

Right, but see, they're not mediocre. That's the key point.
>>
>>155199029
I started with 3 and CE I like the most by a significant amount. I can see why so many still like it the most.
>>
>>155199029
CE is like a 9/10 game considering when it came out.
>>
>>155199331
If that's the case then today it's like a 12/10 considering the fact that the standards for a good game now are so much lower
>>
>>155199226
>>155199279
>>155199331
Again, all those are just opinions.

A fact would be "Halo 3 is mediocre"

>>
>>155199693

It's alright m8, I won't debate it.

The more intelligent fans know it's a fact and the ones who don't are too stubborn and autistic to ever admit it, so it's a pointless exercise overall.
>>
>>155199818
I obviously didn't find it in the TV/movies categories.
>>
>>155199823
It sounds like someone needs to work on his aim.
>>
>>155199989
It's nothing to do with aim, retard. The BR spreads like butter in that game. It was a design decision to not have a gun's bullets go in a straight line.
>>
>>155200084
It's called balancing/nerfing my friend and if it was so bad, 4-shots wouldn't be a thing in Halo 3.
>>
>>155200218
They hardly ever were 4-shots on default damage settings unless you were practically touching the guy. Even then, your shots would probably drop due to the shitty netcode.

We all know that Bungie knows dick all about balance, since the BR was still far and away the best weapon in the entire game even after making it a slot machine.
>>
>>155200320
>We all know that Bungie knows dick all about balance
Now that's something we can agree about, especially on CE-3.
>>
>>155200538
CE was pretty well-balanced, though. Reach was decent if you removed all of the automatic weapons and bloom.

Give me a break m8, i enjoy CE as much as the next guy but bragging about weapon balance in CE isn't a smart argument. Remove the magnum and you got a point.

>not ambushing with the plasma rifle or using it against OS guy

>>
>>155201118
See? That's weak weapon balance right there.
>>
>>155201309
Why is that? Everything has some kind of use. It would be worse if everything was a gun that you could just pull out and create an "I win" scenario. Every weapon has a unique function over another weapon.
>>
>>155201380
Because both of those examples are still outclassed by a simple 3-shot with the magnum.
>>
>>155201784
If you're running out in the open and trying to cross-map with ARs, sure.

>>
I'm bored as shit /hg/

The forerunner wouldn't glass a planet until getting any holy artifacts off the planet correct?

And they had Mendicant Bias (the Oracle) to help them find the artifacts on each planet and track them, correct?

So why was Meridian glassed when there was a Guardian underneath it? The Guardians are the greatest Forerunner weapons next to the Halo rings and the Composer. Wouldn't the covenant come across them at least once and want to find more of them?

Why glass a planet with all of those holy Forerunner artifacts underneath?
>>
>>155211180
Why were prometheans attacking Meridian from space if the guardian was both underground and not woken up yet?

It's just terrible writing
>>
>>155211271

I was under the impression the Prometheans were attacking under orders from Cortana to basically clear a path for Chief

Though even after fucking around and fighting Prometheans, Chief only barely beat Osiris to the Guardian

>>
>>155211563
>to basically clear a path for Chief
Yeah, because those miners sure are a tough enemy.
They could have just flown in, ran inside, and been done. Even dumber when you consider the entrance that Blue Team took was actually just outside of the town you walk around, but their Prowler was at the mines.
>>
>>155211694
>>155211780
Alone it is the worst solely because of the awful AI teammates being so essential. But with four people I think it might be the best.

I wouldn't put too much emphasis on Microsoft's role in this. Brian Reed was the writer and we all know how much a hack he is after Spartan Ops and Escalation.

That said, the advertising had me genuinely interested in the story and the whole dual-narrative, uncover the mystery thing that was supposedly going to happen. That such an emphasis was shone on these aspects of the game during advertisement, only to turn up COMPLETELY missing in-game, makes me think they actually had something interesting going on until, I dunno, someone spilled coffee on the computers and wiped out the whole thing I guess.

No models yet, only texture maps. The models were ripped from Halo Waypoint's Spartan customiser. Models will be coming up, I expect, but it's the reason your posted image doesn't feature Halo 5 weapons such as Linda's Nornfang or Kelly's Oathsworn. The guy who made up this image would have had to re-map the new textures onto the Halo 4 weapons.
>>
>>155242537

M8, Chief will end the series with a harem consisting, at the very least, of Linda, Kelly, Cortana, and Palmer (for hatefucks).

Fred can get his pick of Spartan III chicks.

H2A was pretty much perfect, I'm glad they're re-using those models for H2A cutscenes, and generally keeping it more "classic"

Not even close. Reach was still very colorful, just a tad darker. Nowhere near COD levels. It worked well with the UNSC and planet reach's militaristic industrial setting. Remove the film grain filter and it would look even better.

You honestly have no idea what the fuck you're talking about. This has to be fucking bait.

How do you know though? Before 343 tried to shoehorn in an implied romance, Cortana was a clone of Master Chiefs mother figure, but more importantly just his AI partner, no love was ever suggested even post 343, Chief just became attached to her as a person because all his few friends were "dead".

So is evolution a fact?
I thought it was just a theory.

Make no mistake, I have no problem with it and I am accepting of it, but I didn't realize it had been "proven" like my friend says it is.
>>
Would you volunteer to be apart of the Spartan II program?
It wouldn't include the abduction at 6 n all that, but it would include the super risky augmentation stage.

>>155247263
It's a theory in the sense that continental drift is a theory. It probably happened but we can't 100% prove it.
>>
>>155246832
No natural human is genetically perfect m80, I'm pretty sure sexual preference didn't come into question during Halseys research since it was practically going to be erased anyway.
I'm not saying Master Chief is gay, I'm saying it's possible, you guys seem abnormally defensive against the idea.

Is it ruining your male power fantasy? :^)

>>155247263
Gravity is a theory too, you memester.
>>
>>155246927
well she has been apart of him for what? 13 years now? not just a buddy or squad mate. but in his head. they worked together on a whole other level than what humans are used to for a long period of time.

but no Spartans can feel love, they just don't feel the need to fug others ever.
>>
>>155247406

I'm mostly memeing.

I am inclined to think that someone who is as *nearly* genetically perfect as the Spartan candidates were supposed to be would be much, much, much less likely to be gay, though.
>>
>>155247263
There are no "facts" in science. Especially not in things regarding the past.

The ideas that make the most sense and have the most evidence supporting them are the ones that are accepted, until a point in time where new evidence might be discovered and the theory can be changed.
>>
>>155247539
No, not 13 years. They first met on reach. Then the pillar of autumn.

Then the halo trilogy happened over the span of a few weeks.

Then Halo 4 happened which wasn't more than a few days.

So they've not known each other for long.
>>
>>155247486
Yeah, and Newton was wrong. Go figure.
>>
>>155247948
Yes and the theory was updated as our knowledge increased

Hardly anything is ever constant in science. We learn more and more all the time.
>>
>>155248463
It wasn't really updated though, it was turned on its head
>>
>>155248543
So you're saying that science is unreliable because some guy had the wrong idea hundreds of years ago?

It's not like the same doesn't go for other things, too. Our understanding of evolution has changed a lot from the days of Charles Darwin.

I'm sure our current understanding of shit like crazy theoretical physics will get turned on it's head in the future, too. All we can ever do is describe and understand things the best we can with the knowledge available at the time.
>>
>>155247682

This is not the case for evolution.
We know for a fact it's a real thing. We can see it happening at the microscopic level.

Now we're entering fanfic territory. No, cortana can't enter chief's dreams. Fucking kek.

They trained together for a bit on reach

They helped defend reach during the invasion

They went on the pillar of autumn and did halo 1

Things happened in between Halo 1&2

Halo 2&3 were a few days apart

He went in cryosleep

Halo 4 happened

Overall i'd say they've known each other for 2 months, maximum.

Most of that was spent sleeping.

>not together inbetween 2&3
>not present for 90% of halo 3, a few hours

Is this really long enough for them to fall in love?

In this hour of victory, we taste only defeat. I ask why?
We are Bungie, guardians of all that is Halo. The roots of the franchise have grown deep under our careful tending. Where there is money, the wisdom of our countless success has saturated the market. Our strength is a luminous sun towards which all console fps blossoms.
And the impervious shelter beneath which it has prospered.
I stand before you. Accused of the sin of ensuring the Halo ascendancy. Of attempting to save us from this fate where we are forced to…Recede.
343 stands as the greatest threat in Halo's history. Refusing to eradicate them is a fool's gambit."
We squander eons in the darkness, while they seize our triumphs for their own.
The Mantle of Responsibility, for all things, belongs to Bungie alone!
Think of my acts as you will, but do not doubt the reality.

The reclamation, has already begun
...and we are hopeless to stop it.

WAY less crashes than the X1 version. Don't know what kind of PC you're playing on.

But go ahead anon, enjoy that great Halo 5 campaign in stunning 800p

Let's add in that Forge has superior controls, superior forging experience, 4K, resolution doesn't jump around like Michael J Fox, oh yeah, and it's free.

Not really this is a meme. It legitimately does work for some people.
>DON'T TOUCH MY CLAW
Not funny and hasn't caught on at all
>IN WHAT GAME???
Somehow even less funny
>3v4i
the only thing annoying about it is that it's the result of one guy trying to start a meme that becomes thread culture because he just can't get enough (YOU)s. Other than that it's fairly clever plus it exposes appologists.
>#Dedicated
The only people that have a problem with this are people that are legitimately jelous of fun liking gamerscore. I have yet to see one person with high gamerscore actually use that in an argument here.
>boy I sure love 3FPS
This has been debunked over and over again. Remove it simply because it's factually incorrect.
>Sigmund the liar.
Remove. Drama is bad for buisness.
>numbering
Honestly it's so engraved into /hg/ at this point, what with the celebrations made for Milestone threads, that it's pretty much a part of the board. Plus it sparks map discussion. I've even seen it derail shitposting arguments. It's alright.

Read Fractures at a local bookstore earlier. A couple little tidbits for your temptation:

Tom and Lucy have been assigned to Onyx to help create and defend a large colony made up of humans and Elites dedicated to exploring and researching the place

Bornstellar and Chant-To-Green shack up after the Halos are fired. After watching the Librarian's last message (that the Domain is the Organon) Splendid Dust (the councilor from Cryptum) reveals that the Capital was built around the Organon. They journey there and discover that it's an ultra-advanced Precursor AI. Glory-of-a-Far-Dawn and a few other Forerunners are sacrificed to allow Bornstellar and Chant to repear it. Splendid Dust allows himself to be composed and becomes Tragic Solitude, the Ark's AI. Bornstellar and Chant fuck again.

How does /hg/ feel 343i should bring back classic elements like Brutes, Flood, classic weapons and vehicles and all sorts of other goodies? It's not like 343i would actually do this, but just spitball for a moment. What do you guys want to see?

I didn't mind Reach at all. If you couldn't deal with armor lock, you're just bad.
The only thing I don't really care for about the gameplay with 5 is the fact that it's just so fast compared to the previous games. If they had kept 4's multiplayer after they worked all that shit out, I'd be a lot happier with it, but 5's is still entertaining.

Bring shit like the Brutes and Flood into the Warzone matches? Yeah that'd be cool but it's way above their paygrade since it's not already in the game and they'd have to work on actually adding it.

I don't really care to have the Flood back unless they're heavily rehalled. Halo 3's were especially dull and easy to fight, and not just because Plasma weapons could cut them down with like 2 bolts on Legendary. The Pure Forms in particular should have been a welcome addition with tons of gameplay potential but turned out a whole lot of nothing.

Think of the rebels as the Insurrection known back in Halo literature. Before the Covenant the UNSC was trying to fight against a bunch of people rebelling against their progenitors for their frontier worlds. It would bring a new line of enemies into the fray, giving us a bigger chance to fight Humans like many people have always wanted.

I'd also like to fight Mr. T again.

I know about the Insurrection and all that, and I'm all for it being brought it, I was asking if there was any actual rebel enemies in the game right now? I think it's just the Mantis.
It'd definitely be cool to have that gunship as a boss though
>>
>>155312029
Never seen that piece, it looks awesome. Shit for Brains Reed also wrote the revised fiction for Fall of Reach and was responsible for many story choices, even writing a few chapters himself, of the recent Spartan Ops comic. Honestly, his stuff sucks. It's a blight on Halo fiction and literature, and they should pay Eric Nylund boocoo bucks to replace the guy who single-handedly trashed their franchise.
>>

How about fighting against Spartans who were loyal to the Insurrection after their induction into the UNSC's newest branch?

it always bothered me that Tartarus had such an insignificant part in the overall story. He was the final boss of 2, yet the deaths of the Heretic Leader, which first planted the seeds of doubt in Arbiter's mind and served his character development, and Regret, which kickstarted the covvie civil war, mattered way more than Truth's lackey who has pretty much been forgotten since.

I guess it's a bit complicated. Chant reminded Librarian of her daughter, but Bornstellar didn't really get to know Chant until after the Halo's activation, and Bornstellar is sort of his own thing separate from the original Didact now.

There's no reason to believe he just offed himself immediately afterward. He also mentions going on a "Great Journey". The idea that Forerunners went on an exile has been the generally accepted conclusion since at least Halo 3.

That the sequels were intended to deal with their return is up for debate, though the Legendary Ending makes it seem likely.

>>155336369
So why did some of them choose to stay alive? I though the halos were their last resort and signify them giving up the mantle and admitting their failure

Some of them staying alive defeats that purpose entirely
>>

>343 made him
Didn't know Greg Bear was a 343 employee.
>>
>>155336618

This is relevant how?

The issue is that the Forerunners' survival has been heavily hinted at since Halo 3's terminals. It's not a major recent breach in canon.

>>155336730

Just because they admit they fucked up doesn't mean they were gonna quit fighting. The Halos were their last resort; after they were activated the Forerunners oversaw the reseeding, then left in exile.

I suspect this "Bastion" mentioned in Halo 5's terminals might be their new home.

>>155337328

It's all the same in this case. The two options are "they survived" and "there's major evidence saying they survived", leaning more toward the former. Therefore, arbitrary dismissal of their survival as "343's canon" is all but baseless.

Not all that many, but enough that Bornstellar expressed hope that humanity and Forerunners would meet many, many generations later in peace

That's what the Monitors were for, but they didn't count on how much a toll 100,000 years of solitude would take on them

Come on, m8, being this stubborn is autistic.
>>
>>155337854
what are you on about
Bungie's Halo games only mentioned the Librarian and the Didact in passing so it was literally up to 343i to make their backstory
as long as they had a character called the Didact there to fire the Halos and have another character called the Librarian die on Earth then there is no retconning whatsoever
>>
>>155338168
>Didact survived to activate the Halos
As of 343 canon.
>Enough survived to oversee the reseeding of the entire galaxy
Even 343 said this was automated by the Librarian.
>Didact says they're going on a "Great Journey"
You mean death? Because activating the Halos has always meant death when people say "the great journey."
>>

It's not even that Bungie necessarily intended everything that 343i wrote, its just that Bungie's Forerunner backstory had so little to it that theres no reason to hate 343i for expanding on it

So basically your knowledge of canon, both Bungie era and 343 era, is far too lacking to keep up us.

>>155338797

If we're going by 343's canon, it's because most of Forerunner civilization was rekt before they fell back to the Ark.

If we're talking Bungie's era, could be any reason. Could be they DID have a number of Forerunners there who left in exile. Could be security reasons. Could be, again, the major populace was already devestated by the time they decided to activate the Halos. Take your pick.
>>
>>155339052
Well theres a reason all this stuff is in books, like you don't have to read them if you don't want to
If you're mad about there being too much EU in Halo, you should try looking at the Star Wars EU and trying to make sense of all of that shit, at least 343i's EU lore is consistent with itself and the games

So why does the flood only feed on sentient life

And where does the "sentient" thing not apply anymore. Like would a cat or dog be available for flood food? Does it kill graveminds?

Also has it ever been discussed the manner in which halo only kills sentient life and leaves the rest.
>>
>>155339630

... you serious?

What the fuck is the point of a safe haven in which sentient life resides when it's in range of the very weapon it's keeping them safe from?
>>
>>155339630
Nigger it's been called the ARK ever since halo 2 for a reason.

You know like the biblical Ark. The one which saved all the living things who went onto it. They didn't name it The Ark for no reason
>>
>>155339630
It's always been canon that the Ark preserves life on it you mug
In the Halo 3 terminals the Didact talks about how he has to live on now that the Librarian is dead, and talks about how she should have come back to the Ark with him to be safe
>>
>>155339854
So how many forerunners made it to the ark?
>>
>>155339696

It's always been a bit fluid, how the Flood operates.

I think at this point, it's "they feed off of sentient life for brainpower, but can assimilate any sufficient biomass". Infection forms being a quick way to create combat-ready pawns.
>>
>>155339692
They published it and said it's canon. Who else did that? Capcom?

>>155339854
>It's always been canon that the Ark preserves life on it you mug
Yeah, indexed life. Look at all those Forerunners that survived on the Ark, oh wait.
>>
>>155339979
So the halo rings would kill off all life to starve the flood, then? Or wouldn't that kill the flood, too?
>>
>>155339854
Most of the survivors of the Maethrillian disaster fall back to the Ark and use the Halos as a final solution, but the Librarian chooses to go to Earth instead
We know that Bornstellar is there alongside Chance-to-Green and at least 12 other named Forerunners, with possibly more but its unknown

>You know like the biblical Ark.
Yeah, like those Biblical Halos, the things that floated around angels. They sure nuked galaxies in the Bible.
>>
>>155340153

Also a bit fluid. Originally it was "starve the Flood" but sometimes it shows it wiping out the Flood too.

I'd go with "starves the Flood", but I think Mythos says their biology relies on the same "neural physics" that Precursor constructs utilize, so it might render them dead too.
>>
>>155340319
Halos are more than just the bit above an angels head, but the Ark is pretty fucking specific. For example, the visible "ring" around the sun/moon is referred to as a "halo."
>>
>>155340437
I'd always assumed that the Halo array would kill off anything sentient in the universe, including the Graveminds coordinating the Flood. After that, there wouldn't be anything sentient or with sufficient biomass for the Flood to rebuild itself, so the remaining feral forms would just die off without a Gravemind to coordinate them.

There's a difference between something that is seen for 50% of the day, and a vague claim that has changed wording at least twice, where the only provided evidence thus far was disproven as being canon to Halo 3.

Use your brain, m8.

What's the point of housing sentient species on an installation which is within range of weapons designed to specifically target sentient species?

Why would Forerunners go through the trouble of building a MASSIVE installation with a tremendous range of environments from thousands of worlds, and keep life from those thousands of worlds on it, if it was going to be caught up in a Halo's pulse?

What do you think is the point of it being so far outside the galaxy? Pretty view?
>>
>>155343014
They said nothing about The Ark being immune to the Halo Array. In fact, they implied the opposite.

>>155342913

See, in an argument, if you don't believe something, you should have some evidence to support WHY you don't believe it. If you don't, then you're being stubborn for no reason when you could easily find out whether it's true or not. Instead of demanding other people do it for you.

the couple months leading up to the MCC's release was some of the most fun I've had in anticipation of a game release. Waiting for info, slowly getting new pictures and clips, discussing them online and overhaul getting hyped as shit... felt a similar way when H5 started becoming more relevant, with the beta and stuff... H5's multiplayer didnt dissapoint, but after the campaign... and how MCC released...

I dont know if I can feel that same excitement for the next Halo title... I'll be buying for sure, Halo is love, etc, but Im feeling too worried about the titles at this point rather than excited

Bornstellar didn't exist until the Forerunner Trilogy. It was only "Didact" until 343 needed two Didacts.

As of Halo 4. Not 3. He went on the Great Journey, which as discussed in the previous games meant activating the rings and dying in their fire. There's nothing else to it. Every counterargument so far has involved stuff from post-3 when 3 was never written with that info in mind.

Here's a quote from Truth, who already knew everything after amassing tons of oracles, etc.

The one that was posted does. Truth knows he's going on the same great journey that Didact went on. He says it and knows the truth, the terminal says it. Please post anything that shows otherwise.
>>
>>155346529
Please tell me how the rings will be able to reach the Ark when they only have a range of 25,000 light years, and none were currently at the Ark during the didact's time.

Here are the facts:

There was a being called the didact on the Ark when the rings fired, all According to halo 3

The Ark is outside the halo rings range and there wasn't any rings present at the Ark during that time, unlike at the end of 3 where an installation was nearing completion


Thus, a didact was on the Ark while the rings fired and must have survived
>>
>>155346978
>the same great Journey
>Truth somehow knows that the Forerunners were in the blast without any survivors outside the galaxy EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE AN INSTALLATION OUTSIDE THE GALAXY

Unless they thought what you're thinking now, and believed it would shelter them because "well, the Forerunners made it. Surely they didn't actually burn themselves." But the truth is that they'd burn themselves and everyone else. Hell, many people have theorized over the years that Truth was just fucking crazy, even before the Forerunner Trilogy came out and said they'd be safe there.

Why would a Halo ring be INSIDE the Ark UNDER CONSTRUCTION after the Array was "complete?"
>>
>>155347979
>Because Truth said something, it must be right!
>"Truth knows the truth and is whispering a secret he promises will die to a guy about to kill everyone by activating the ark, surely he would be lying about this!"
The terminals don't even say the opposite. They agree with that.

>>155347987
And that says nothing about what rings were or were not near the Ark at the time. Hell, if Bias was getting close, that means that the rings would have to be moved closer to the Ark to cover the flood-infested Bias's ship.
>>
>>155348247
>they agree with it
How?
Also,
>Halo rings need to be positioned properly in order to get galactic coverage
>the Ark is NOT a point needed
>the Halo ring that was blown up WAS
>the Ark is rebuilding the destroyed Halo to send BACK TO THE NEEDED POINT
>>
>>155348247
Your argument is basically "forerunners are dead because I hate 343 so I need to ignore the parts of Halo 3 that they took from"
>>
>>155348402
>How?
If Truth knows that activating the array kills everything, and he's referring to Great Journey while knowing this truth and not that it's some kind of teleporter or whatever the other Covenant thought it was, then he knows he'll end up the same place the terminals refer to, which is dead.
>the Ark is NOT a point needed
As of Halo 3 when rebuilding 04. But since Mendicant was right next to the Ark fighting Offensive, then it was adjusted. This is just an inference, though, but it is more sound than anything else posted.
>>
>>155348247
No rings were near the Ark. The ark is 260,000-ish light years away from the center of the galaxy. The 7 rings only have a 25,000 light year kill-span. All 7 rings need to be inside the milky way to cover the entire thing fully, Which they needed to do to stop the flood.

They all remained within the milky way until Chief damaged one, THEN it teleported to the ark. None of the others were damaged obviously because they needed to be at full capacity, which means they were within the milky way at the didact's time and remained there.


So, going off of entirely bungie lore, we can say that there was someone called the didact at the ark when the rings were fired, and the Ark was in extremely safe distance, so he obviously survived unless he killed himself or something which no evidence points towards.
>>
>>155348614
Truth understands because.. Why? How would Truth have a better insight into this than the Terminal? Also, there's an entire sector of space completely unaccounted for since an Array NEEDS that point for coverage.
>>
>>155348785

>until Chief damaged one, THEN it teleported to the ark

You mean Installation 04? Nah, the original was totalled. The one at the Ark was completely new.
>>
>>155348785
>All 7 rings need to be inside the milky way to cover the entire thing fully, Which they needed to do to stop the flood.
Except that there was Flood outside of that center and near the Ark, so it was probably adjusted.

>>155348842
>How would Truth have a better insight into this than the Terminal?
So if he knows a fact, and the terminal also says this fact, Truth can't be right?
>Also, there's an entire sector of space completely unaccounted for since an Array NEEDS that point for coverage.
Assuming that that point in space needed coverage. 7 rings is overkill, it's kinda the point. They cover everything and then some. Some of that "then some" might not have flood in it.
>>
>>155348887
Yeah, that's what I meant, whoops.

Also the rings have a 25,000/LY range each, not cumulativley
>>
>>155348976
Except the Terminal DOESN'T say that fact. The Terminal mentions the Great Journey, so Truth just assumes that they all bit the fucking dust.
>>
Are we still arguing about this?

I thought we all agreed it was just one nutter looking for something to cry about?
>>
>>155348976
We don't know how close he got to the ark, do we?

From the edge of the milky way to the ark is 150,000 LY. subtract 25,000 from that for a ring's killzone. He or the ring could have been anywhere in 125,000 light years between the galaxy and the Ark and the Ark still could have been safe. But there's nothing pointing at a ring being outside of the galaxy to begin with, as they are all INSIDE it up until 04 gets re-created after it's destruction.
>>
>>155349201
>The Terminal mentions the Great Journey
And nothing else was mentioned after that. The logs end there, in a disrupted transmission. Nothing comes after.
>>
>>155349298
>But there's nothing pointing at a ring being outside of the galaxy to begin with
By that logic, there's also nothing to suggest that there wasn't a ring. So at best, it's dubious.
>>
>>155349417
So why would you assume the Great Journey for the Forerunners meant death if they had the means to leave the Galaxy?
>>
>>155349506
You didn't read the rest of my sentence.

There's also evidence that they remained within the galaxy in the fact that the monitors were going crazy from isolation. If they were ever at the Ark then they wouldn't have been so lonely.

So it stands to reason, that after the rings fired, they remained in the same place, isolated. And if they stayed in the same place that means that when they fired they were all within the galaxy.
>>
>>155349657
After everything about them trying to atone for what they had done, why would you not assume they died atoning for their sins?
>>
>>155349725
>atonement for their sins has to mean death
The Sangheili are the space Nips, not the Forerunners
>>
>>155349718
Your evidence is really just that Guilty Spark was nuts? After sitting alone forever? Yeah, we're done here.
>>
>>155349657
This, the term great journey was a misconception of the covenant. They thought it means activating the rings, and finding salvation or whatever.

In reality the rings kill everything, but nothing suggests that the FORERUNNER's intended the term 'great journey' to mean Activating the rings, either.
>>
What are we even arguing about anymore.
>>
>>155349829
That combined with all my other evidence is a lot more solid than your

"Well a ring could've been at the Ark for no reason even though that would leave areas inside the galaxy for the flood to re-emerge, and then it could have teleported back inside the galaxy sometime afterward."
>>
>>155349925
Some guy hates 343 so much that he has to deny Halo 3 and Bungie canon.
>>
>>155349925
An anon tried to say that the forerunner books were canon to 3.
>>
>>155350035

No, an anon brought up that the Forerunners' survival has been heavily hinted at, if not guaranteed, since Halo 3, and that it wasn't just 343 fucking with canon.

Have you only just started paying attention to the online Halo community? I can distinctly recall MANY debates about this wherein it was almost unanimous that, yes, there was a very good chance the Forerunners had survived and embarked on exile, as far back as Halo 3's release.
>>
>>155349925
Some retard denying that the Ark was a safe haven from the rings even though it's well outside of their effective range and now moving the goalposts and saying "well, a ring COULD'VE been at the Ark when they were activated and teleported back to the galaxy afterward" even though there's nothing to suggest that and would have left un-killed areas of life within the galaxy without full coverage, thus letting the flood re-emerge, thus defeating the whole point of the rings in the first place
>>
>>155350308
>has been heavily hinted at
No, you said it was "clear." Many goalposts later, you tried to duck away from that argument.
>>
>>155350381
>going back to attacking everything but the argument
>>
So, Rise of Iron is a big letdown. Anyone else playing Halo 5 right now?
>>
>>155350381

>an anon

It's pretty clear there are a number of people more knowledgeable about this than you participating. I wouldn't assume the people you started talking to are still around to encourage this bullshit.
>>
>>155350548

No, now everyone's playing Halo 3 to gather evidence...
>>
>>155350515
The argument was whether or not they survived. Anon said it was "clear" that they did. His sources were shot down and proven to only be canon post-Bungie. If you like 343's handling of the franchise, then think of it as always canon. If not, then there's nothing to say it was canon to the original trilogy.

>>155350846
The only source he gave was one concerning the Ark, but the addendum that supported his claim was from Cryptum.
>>
>>155350883
The Terminal still proves him right.
The fact that you believe Truth, a Covenant leader, about anything Forerunner is fucking laughable.
>>
>>155350548
>rise of iron a big let down

So just like the rest of Destiny? That game is nothing but a platform to get 10 year olds addicted to random drops and sell microtransactions and DLC

Same can be said for halo 5, but at least it doesn't have the DLC part where you get shit-all content for your money and it's a bit more fun.
>>
>>155350883

>Didact was alive and well on the Ark, sending messages and activating Halos
>Forerunners were there to reseed the indexed species
>Didact claims they're going on a Great Journey
>>
>>155350962
Truth is clearly fucking insane, anyways. That's kind of his whole character.
>>
>>155350962
>The Terminal still proves him right.
Except it doesn't. For your case, at best, it proves nothing at all.

>>155351035
>final transmission is during the activation, and nothing came afterwards
>reseeding was automatic
There's nothing else to it. But no more evidence is going to be posted and you keep hopping back on the terminal which already proves you wrong, so I'm off to work.
>>
>>155351156
If there was a ring at the Ark to kill the didact when he fired the array, all the life prepared for re-seeding would have died too.

But let me guess, this magic ring that somehow was at the Ark during the firing then teleported back to the galaxy afterwards, was placed JUST far enough away so that it only affected the tiny corenerw the didact was standing on
>>
>>155351156

If he was going to die at the Ark why did he plead with the Librarian to join him there and be safe? Why did he state that he would carry this "bitter record" on their Great Journey? How did he die? Why did Mendicant Bias claim that he was going to help you to show his masters that he has atoned if he thinks his masters are dead?

No, m8, this is just autistic dedication to defending a lost cause. You're free to keep your headcanon, just so long as you stay out of discussions that require at least rudimentary knowledge of the lore.
>>
>>155351156
>fires rings
>final transmission
>goes on a literal great journey from the Ark with the rest of the surviving forerunners and leaves the milky way

What's so hard to believe about that? Nothing was there to kill them at the ark, so either he killed himself or went somewhere else
>>
>>155351396

Did you know that physical forms of people weren't stored?

"Immediately following the activation, the secondary purpose of the Index also came into play, triggering the re-seeding of life on the worlds whose sentient species were indexed in the records of each Installation's Library in addition to the archives on the Ark."
>>

>>155351887

>>
>>155351887
Genetics and living beings were stored. That's what the actual surface of the Ark with the continents, oceans, etc were for.
>>
>>155351887

>>155352012

The index is 1s and 0s.

>>155352117

They were actually there for other purposes. Map descriptions even say that all of the ice is for cooling.

Probably using the same kind of tools that mess with genetics that the installations try to find a cure for flood with.

Those weird machines all around the Library were for that. Wouldn't be a stretch to say they either had a second function or there were more exclusively for that.
>>
>>155352727
This, I thought forerunners could convert living things to digital, but they couldn't convert digital back to living.

Considering the bodies in Lockout and how the Didact survived, could it be that putting being in cryosleep in a way that fakes death could do it?

We know the rings don't kill organic life, just sentient life, to start the flood. Otherwise it would kill the flood, too.

>Have you tried just to power through it for a day or two with the onscreen tips on?
Yes, using A and B to go up and down for me confuses me too much. I try to press LB or RB to move (since it's been like that since forever) and I select an object or whatever. To me, A is the button to select things. Never bothered with forge since December.
