Sanghelios mission!

YouTube

I don't like how that grunt at 0:46 sounds like he's saying "The Arbiter is dead, the war is over"

They mention needing the Arbiter to help with the Guardian on Sunaion, which is what is shown in the E3 gameplay.

Arbiter is fine.

Sunaion? What happened to all the quality names like Reach?

Way to nitpick.

I don't know about you, but the fact that 343i can't come up with original names like "Reach" and "Harvest" is a sure sign to me of how far the franchise has fallen.

>implying that "Reach" and "Harvest" are original names.

I thought it was pretty damn obvious they aren't.

Then why the heck are you even nitpicking for? Or are you just being a sarcastic memer?

Maybe >.>

I never thought using straight-up English words for planet names was a good idea, but that's just me.

I like "Sunaion." You know it's a good name when you can't pronounce it.

And what makes it noticably alien.

Sunaion is an alien homeworld. If it had an english word to it, it just wouldn't be right.

That's what I'm saying. Did you think I was being sarcastic?

Nope. I just didn't know if you knew that the planet in question belonged to aliens in the series. You didn't mention anything in there about who it's owners were.

Right. Yeah, I wasn't aware of that when I posted it, but Korra and others made that clear later.

Which I also happened to notice a few pages back when I start backtracking.

I figured I'd kept up to date with things but apparently I was a few pages behind.

I chose to leave my post there knowing full well of it's repurcussions even though I already knew that you knew.

i'm pretty sure Sunaion is a city on Sangheilios tbh

It is.

Found some concept art from 343 of the Promethian Armiger soldier.

Because Sunaion (which is a region, not a planet) totally sounds more ridiculous than Hesduros, Saepon'Kal (AKA Joyous Exultation, the planet hit by a NOVA nuke) or Te.

Te doesn't sound that ridiculous though.

Some pretty neat wallpapers for a bunch of different screen-types here.

Here's a preview for lazy people

They're in the OP already, m8

That looks much better than the skinny Knights we got in Halo 4.

Te doesn't sound that ridiculous though.

Yeah it does. What, just because it's only two letters? I think that's weird in and of itself.

How do you even say it? Tee? Tay? Teh?

If you want to get super imaginative I want you to imagine how it's pronounced in Hunter forms of communication.

A big rumbling colony of eels that can vibrate certain aspects of language.

Tay, I assume. Still not particularly ridiculous considering it's an actual word in Spanish as well as a hiragana. Obviously it means something different to the Hunters, but that's beside the point.

Now, if it were called Glzrgldltmrti, that's a fucking ridiculous name. I don't even want to think about what kind of horrible tongueless black speech could spew forth a word like that.

I highly doubt they chose Te because it's a spanish word. Either way, it's irrelevant.

the only reason it has a name at all is because it needs a name for other species. The mgalekgolo communicate amongst themselves via electrochemical signals, and almost exclusively deal with the Sangheili and occasionally San 'Shyuum.

Well, Unngoy means monkey in Tagalog. They've used foreign words before.

So like

Did none of you realize that "The Arbiter is dead the war is over" was said by a grunt in the officially released gameplay? You know, the same gameplay that said he was alive later on in the level?

Copy and pasting this from another thread for those of you who are worried about the Batch "spoiler". It's false and derives from people either not understanding the context in which the line is said or people who just flat out did not watch/finish the video.

Personally I view this on the same level as saying that the MC is a transsexual black midget since it's already been proven that he isn't, but I'm going to talk to Cheat and see how we want to handle these kinds of "spoilers" in the future.

I'm guessing he was joking.

the mission takes place before the E3 demo (You can hear them talking about sunaion in future-tense), and Thel was alive in that. Plus, it sounds like Arby is under siege/ outnumbered, so it would make sense for the covenant troops to shout that he's dead - he's not in a position to win.

He's the Arbiter. He outnumbers them just by being there.
