See you Cowgirl,
Someday, somewhere
A reminder that Halo 5 followed tradition of the beginning being escaping a space ship/station 

Halo 1- Pillar of Autumn
Halo 2- Cairo
Halo 3- Dreadnought
Halo 4- Forward Unto Dawn
Halo 5- Oni station
Blue Team on Argent Moon is the 2nd mission. The first mission is with Osiris on Kamchatka, rescuing Halsey and killing Jul 'Mdama.
It's still the beginning of the game
by being the second mission

which isn't the beginning

also, what halo 3 did you play? it starts in a jungle
Except it is

Halo 3 starts with Chief jumping off the dreadnought
It starts with him crashing. He jumped off before the game.
YouTube
ok m8

Yeah. He's falling and then crashes.

He jumped of the Keyship before Halo 3 starts.

Tip for fighting the 3 Wardens:
Stay on the far right side for the first 2 wardens and they will only fight  you  one at a time.
There's an incineration cannon so definitely make use of it.

the one true God is Doctor Doom and we should all be worshiping him.
One could say he was midway through the process of escaping the Dreadnought.

Was i the only one that thought those three wardens were pretty easy?

My only problem was when those turrets showed up.

Something I need a lore expert to explain, which I still haven't found an answer for online. How is the Domain still functioning? It should have been destroyed with the Halos, as described in Silentium. Unless they reconnected that. Which means that the Didact going insane inside his Cryptum would also not be true...arghh. So many plot holes...I want it to make sense.

It was always implied it survived, but severely 'injured'. Reduced to a nonfunctioning state but slowly healing itself.

Also, I hope another lore master can answer this. During The Breaking, The Warden says humanity was never supposed to reclaim the Mantle, and that the Librarian always wanted humanity's created to inherit it instead. What the actual fuck? So whenever Spark was calling Chief a Reclaimer he meant Cortana? Can't be...so that cutscene from Halo 4 w/librarian meant nothing? What's her plan? "You are the culmination of a thousand lifetimes of planning..." Why would she want Cortana to do what she's doing? Lets just make the Librarian a villain now too huh 343i?

Gee it's like The Warden was a different Forerunner with his own opinions and viewpoints. And a military construct at that.

Kind of like how Didact believes humanity to be the biggest threat and problem, with the Forerunners claiming ownership of the Mantle, while Librarian believed otherwise and renounced the Mantle, in the end.

It's totally not like the Warden could just say what he believes is right.

Is it just me, or am I the only one put off by 343's need to add depth to everything? I get that adding depth to things is nice. But to me it just seems like a giant tangled ball of yarn at this point. There's so much shit to focus on that it becomes convuluted and...boring.

And it's not just depth in general. Everything they add for some reason seems like it has to require some explanation which after a while, starts to get old.

Or in some cases, it seems like they're so focused on everything else that they drop the ball in other places and make jarring as fuck transitions.

The story is okay, but the story telling is kinda really shit I think. Missions are fun though.

Everyone should just take a moment to thank Keith David and his plot armor for kicking the Warden Eternal's ass at Sunnion.

Don't know if someone has said this already, but I doubt Cortana was "cured" of her rampancy. More like halted it.

The stuff she did was very rampancy-ish.

She exhibits all the signs of rampancy we know about. If anything, access to the domain has made it worse, if not affected it at all.

A theory I've seen is that she may be infected with the Logic Plague and it's being spread to other AI, which could happen I guess as it's a Precursor creation, but then again they neglected to mention that.

Yeah.
A god-like complex is a symptom of rampancy last I checked.

I didn't find it till after I beat it on legendary.  I had the AI pick up incinerator cannons along the way so they were prepared.  My main problem was some bad RNG.

Maybe it was more so the older AI close to experiencing rampancy that decided to join her? And if that's the case, I'm interested what BB has decided to do since he entered service in 2552, leaving him close to rampancy
