If Chief was serious Locke would end up like those ODSTs.
We're talking about a a guy who was able to go toe to toe with a Sangheili zealot before he was a Spartan. With his augmentations and MJOLNIR, that puts him on par with the Master Chief.

Oh wow. Honestly, this picture's a pretty good representation of the good that adding in the colors did.

1. Carbonox is considered the strongest material in the R&C universe and the in-game armor can absorb 90% of incoming damage and a few blasts from the Supernova or RYNO can destroy a Halo ring faster than you can say "343i a shit." That's cool but is it perfectly sealed and all? The Halo effect is more a wave than a projectile. And Destroying a ring is well and good but you'd have to find them first. Between 7 rings the pulse can reportedly wipe the entire Galaxy clean.
2. The RYNO II is a fully automatic missile launcher capable of literally destroying anything it touches. It has 100 missiles before it needs to be reloaded. The Supernova shoots out a seemingly endless stream of ion cannons that instantly vaporizes its targets and turns them to ashes. UNSC and Covenant ships don't stand a chance against these weapons.
3. Sheepinator + Flood = lots of sweaters and shirts to be made
So it can reliably take out a few hundred thousand ships before any one of them can open fire/emergency slipspace? Does the Sheepinator work against energy shielding and non-sentient beings? Sure Ratchet wouldn't need to sleep or die of boredom before the entire flood are turned into sheep?
I've gotta play this game just to see how they managed to make shit this op and still have it be famous.
The Carbonox Armor is perfectly sealed and it even covers his tail unlike some other armors from the games. Ratchet had no problem traveling from galaxy to galaxy in the games so finding all of the rings will be easy.
The RYNO II's missile lock-on feature is insane and can track down anything, plus the missiles move at almost lightning-fast speeds. The Supernova is a free-fire weapon and since its radius is so massive, nothing can hide from it. The Sheepinator can turn anything into harmless sheep, even giant hulking robots to disgusting slime-oozing creatures alike. The beam that emits from this weapon never overheats or runs out of energy either.
These weapons are just a small fraction of all the OP weapons from the series. The Rift Ripper shoots out black holes that suck enemies into it and sends them to other dimensions. The Zodiac shot out beams of light that hit anything in Ratchet's line of sight and turns them into ash piles. The Suck Cannon sucks up small-to-medium sized objects and shoots them back out as heat-seeking missiles. And lastly, the Tesla Barrier puts a shield around Ratchet and blocks any incoming danger and shoots out lightning to anything near him.
I have no doubt that Ratchet would go star hopping with ease, but the galaxy has a LOT of stars. You aren't exactly gonna find 7 rings just by stumbling on them. The UNSC only did that with Installation 03.

Sure would be great if that was mentioned literally anywhere else other than Stephen Loftus saying it to cover up the fact they had a flying Shadow
You guys even know who Stephen Loftus is?
I do, but this is my first time ever hearing this and as I'm aware it hasn't been mentioned anywhere else.
Stephen Loftus on Covenant Tug
This comes across as saving face for accidentally putting a Shadow in, but ok.
We are talking about a faction that utilizes base designs for large swaths of vehicles.
CCS-Class Battlecruiser
CRS-Class Light Cruiser
RCS-Class Armored Cruiser
CAS-Class Assault Carrier
CSO-Class Super Carrier
Phantom
Tarasque
Plasma Rifle
Plasma Repeater
But we're also talking about 343 who has tried to canonise mistakes like that trailer that declared Chief died in 2560, people pointing it out and then this swiftly being uploaded
It's not really a huge problem since the Shadow had a cool design, but it really comes across as a simple mistake that they put it there.
The problem is that it was a marketing campaign still in the process of going on. Correcting the mistake canonically also adds to the immersion. If they were to post on Hunt the Truth, "Hey guys our bad, we messed up in the trailer." Well, then you've defeated the entire purpose of the Tumblr page being an in-fiction site. And Stephen Loftus said it himself, you don't have to believe him since no one from 343i's given an official statement on the matter.

Why are those Banshees's cockpits open when they're flying
I'm honestly more concerned about that Halo 2 Shadow flying when it's supposed to be a low hovering ground troop transport.
Yeah, so turns out that it's actually not a Shadow. The lore community looked into this and after contacting several sources, we found out through Stephen Loftus that it's not a Shadow, despite the fact it looks exactly like one.

I know. I had to go through 8 more slver packs when I had like only 12 left before Hammerstorm. At least I got a shot at them legendaries without worrying about getting a Common, Uncommon, or Ultra Rare.

I just replayed the entire game Co-Op on Legendary and it's just sunk in how important what Locke and Osiris are actually doing within the context of the universe, and yet it still manages to feel like nothing but an excuse to have someone save chief from the cryptum at the end.
One minor thing I wonder is about the Covenant on Genesis. What worlds could they have been taken from, especially the one specific group during the mission Genesis when we see them come in with the next arriving Guardian after your own and they immediately begin landing Wraiths and troops on the ground. It makes me wonder where they were that wasn't the battle of Sunaion and that they were doing immediately beforehand.
I'm almost positive that one of the colonies is Whispering Trees, as that's where Ghost Ultras are manufactured, and you only encounter them and Wraith Ultras on the Covenant being pulled to Genesis with the Guardians. Going back to your initial statement though, I don't think it felt like a routine exercise at all. I actually thought that Osiris saving Blue Team was the best part of the Osiris narrative. My argument for why it wasn't just another exercise is because they all risk their lives running straight into the slipspace pulses in order to save Blue Team. Whoever reaches the conduit nearly dies.

you had a good portion of Sep7agon's active users suggesting 343i's artists and designers deserve to be murdered simply because they disagreed on something subjective.
You mean only one user who hasn't even been on the site for that long?
You try to make us out to be irrationally hating 343i yet provide no evidence of it.
I mean it's not like he's wrong. People have been saying stuff like that. On the other hand, for him to take those quotes literally is something i'd expect more from Deci or a hardcore Archive denizen.
Maybe you don't understand that I've met people who have expressed actual desire to psychically abuse 343i if they were to see one of them in public. At that point, it stops being a joke when I can no longer tell who on the internet is saying a hyperbole and who is expressing actual malicious intent.
You really think Psy would legit execute 343i's art team?
No. Because he didn't say that's what he wanted to do.
fUCK I thought the post was responding to the other conversation that's going on

But do you know this for certain every time you bring it up, or are you just assuming they're part of the "LOL 343 SUX GIEV TEH HELO BAK 2 BUNJO NAO" crowd in every instance? I've only seen a few sep7agooks openly say they liked Halo 3's 'story,' and some of them are the sort who just like to completely obviously stir shit. I can't be fucked sifting through all the theory threads at the start of the Halo 3 forum, and "Halo 3 is dead" threads at the end to see what the main discussions about the campaign were like, so I can't give you an accurate depiction on the general consensus of Halo 3's narrative was.
Honestly, I don't remember. Ever since I returned 2 - 3 months ago I've only been involved in one major shit show where the majority of people were all assblasted and not trolling. In many instances though, the people I respond to are in that crowd. Many, many people want 343i to follow what Bungie did. Maybe not intentionally, but their knee-jerk reaction to anything they dislike about 343i is to immediately point out that Bungie would do it better because they've already done it better in the past, they've done it better in Destiny, and/or it was a part of their nostalgia. Much like my knee jerk reaction in the past was to ignore the point entirely and try to make an obscure argument by pointing out Halo 3's flaws as if that would directly refute their argument entirely. In what way fam? I've never supported the open criticism of 343, I've seen posts provide good feedback on what they could've done better, but didn't get involved because they used that criticism as a reason to hate the developers themselves. There's no shortage of people who take their arguing over the top - and they should be called out on it, but it doesn't mean their whole posts are automatically invalid. It actually does. Something being invalid does not mean it is inherently incorrect, but rather that some or many of their supporting facts for their argument are not true or don't hold up under scrutiny. Obviously this means it has a less likely chance of being true, but not immediately or totally as there are obviously many other points and facts that could be made. The other thing too, is that I really don't think hating developers in the way many people do is appropriate or fair at all; it's the near equivalent of ad hominen. Doing nothing and passively letting people take part in it isn't going to solve the problem. However, the issue there of getting involved in stopping such behavior is that anyone who tries to put an end to hateful discussion ends up being called out for "shilling" because you can't argue that they are incorrect without providing direct counterexamples to their argument to show that hating on X developer employee is irrational. Of course, criticism is fine, but rational criticism of a game designer's habits are ridiculously rare. This is evident by the last Halo thread made. In there, you had a good portion of Sep7agon's active users suggesting 343i's artists and designers deserve to be murdered simply because they disagreed on something subjective. However, I've realized it's fruitless to try and put an end to such a thing on the forums I visit as it's just the way people socially interact exacerbated by the anonymity and disconnectedness of the internet. It's not hard to miss something if you're not religiously following a game's leadup, and in some cases even if you are. IIRC it wasn't until the Destiny Beta that there was even a hint it wasn't going to deliver on the promise of being an early No Man's Sky. Almost invariably complaints about features pre-release are shot down with "Just wait until launch/it's just a beta," and don't even get me started on the "It was an intended feature" as a defensive argument. Undoubtedly, but even the people who do are going to miss things that I don't when it comes to Halo. I actually tried to counteract people getting upset for Halo 5 by intentionally lowering expectations pointing out the mistakes 343i've made in the past. Obviously though, as I implied earlier, I try not to hound on people for such things anymore, unless I can prove what they missed was made abundantly clear and becomes their own fault for simply not doing common sense research.

But my Halo 5 shilling? I've never cared for a second that people don't like Halo 5. Only every cared about the reasons people don't like the game, or the extremity stemming from the reasons.
That's fair enough, but I swear I've seen you reply to people saying they disagree with the way Halo's story went after 343 acquired it, with a criticism of Halo 3's lack of story as if that somehow was relevant to the topic. Or were you just trying to shut down that line of conversation for no reason?
And in regards to the complaints about the disparity between the Campaign trailers and the game itself, you were quick to point out that 343i were not tasked with the advertising, despite the fact that nobody was criticizing the developers for it in the first place.
Say you only care about unreasonable criticisms as much as you like, but I've seen you and Lemon shoot down some perfectly reasonable discussion without hesitation.
The intention behind mentioning Halo 3's uneventful narrative is by pointing out that they were completely okay with a narrative that was incredibly unthoughtful and did little to advance the story in meaningful ways (AKA a copout), yet reject any attempt to advance and progress the story and take it in new directions, despite having proper support in existing lore. I was quick to point that discrepancy out because people WERE blaming 343i entirely for the difference, saying they didn't deliver on what they were expecting. Somewhat irrelevant, but it turns out that 343i was involved with the bait and switch to some extent. Obviously at the time I didn't know this because no one was citing the sources I've come to see. That's because you're view of personally reasonable discussion was in my eyes a circlejerk of hate. I stand by that assertion, because when people discuss how they don't like 343i it always turns into that (as does anything a group of people dislike). However, you are undoubtedly right that I have pounced on people unnecessarily because I was assblasted. My only response to that is two things: 1. They were upset over things that they should have known well before the game came out, or completely failed to notice (hence my bias of having a ridiculous amount of knowledge about Halo; people just don't pay attention as much as I do). 2. It was before I adopted the understanding that It's a waste of my time to expend so much energy constantly fighting with everyone I disagree with, and believing that everyone's opinions can be swayed. (An undoubtedly childish view on social interaction that I'm not ashamed to admit, as Sandtrap has time and again astutely pointed out Sep7agon is a gathering of broken people hanging on to what defines them.)

Oh look. A Halo thread on Sep7agon that is inherently biased.
Surprised? I wasn't.
I don't see the bias here...maybe most people here just like Halo 2 and 3?
>Halo 2
>Halo 2 Anniversary
>Halo Reach - Glorious
>Halo 4 and 5 are uncapitalized
Ah yes, the fair poll options.
Bias?
I even added Halo 2 Anniversary (343) because someone made a compelling argument.
Also two games uncapitalized does not affect the Polls in anyway.
Doesn't change the fact that Halo 2 is now on the poll twice.
If you've taken a basic high school psychology class, you'd know that the way a poll item is presented actually does matter.
You've even proclaimed the best option on the poll to be Reach.
Biased poll is biased.
People were asking for Halo 2 Anniversary, specifically for the Multiplayer. So ...
I picked Halo 2, I may have said Reach was glorious, also the H4/5 being uncapitalized mean nothing as long as people aren't sheep.
I don't deny what you're saying is true, but it doesn't change the fact the poll is biased, yo.

To be fair, H2A wasn't on the Poll initially, and he only added it because I convinced him it was worth counting separately from Halo 2.
because of the lack of button glitches and other differences (Forge, weapons, gametypes etc.) it makes for a different enough experience IMO to be seperate
But this isn't a poll on multiplayer. It's a poll on full package games. And H2A is way too similar to H2C to be counted as an entirely separate game completely ignoring the fact that you can only get H2A by buying the MCC.

10/10 no re
I was more referencing your high-tier Halo 5 shilling in other threads tbh fam. ofc the OP's like and dislike for certain games is clear in the Polls, but all I'm saying is it's a bit of Pot-Kettle-Black for you to call somebody else's (in this case, OP's) view on the games biased. I didn't think for a second you were talking about poll results, so much as the post itself.
Oh don't worry. I acknowledge my view on the games and the entire franchises to be INCREDIBLY biased. Perhaps more so than anyone else here. After all, I'm fairly certain to be the only one here to have read/played through every piece of canon content and analyzed the gameplay differences and peculiarities of each game as much as I have. That does not invalidate or devalue my arguments, however. But my Halo 5 shilling? I've never cared for a second that people don't like Halo 5. Only every cared about the reasons people don't like the game, or the extremity stemming from the reasons. And perhaps that's a whole bunch of bullshit. I don't care. That's up for all of you to decide. Quite clearly, all of you do think it's bullshit, as many of you continue to claim I'm "shilling 343i" despite it becoming word that's lost all meaning. It has about as much meaning as "check your privilege" and is consequently used to invalidate anyone you don't agree with because you don't want to, or are incapable of refuting them. I've got a lot of opinions as to what 343i did wrong and what they did right (and believe me, they've done a lot wrong). The funny thing though is that literally no one here has those same thoughts. Or is at least willing to express them in a rational, calm manner. In the end though, a large part of the fun of Sep7agon for me comes from the community's bastard relationship with the Halo franchise and seeing how twisted and butthurt things can get. I hated it at first to be honest, but I might as well embrace it since I like some of the people here. Anyway, I wouldn't have posted anything in this thread if there wasn't a blindingly clear attempt to push the opinion of Bungie's Halo's being "infinitely" superior to any others'. But as I stated before, I'm not bothered by it because Sep7agon has a hilariously mangled relationship with Halo, so it doesn't come as a surprise. Doesn't stop me from joining in on the fun.

Griball is so fucking easy in Halo 5.
Only problem is 343i fucked up the Gravity Hammer.
The great Irony is that a large portion of Halo 5's Gravity Hammer balancing was feedback taken directly from the Grifball Community figureheads. 343i even brought them to the studio to balance and create Halo 5's Grifball.
idk what those figureheads were smoking cus shdooby and I tested out the grav hammer in custom games and the distances are completely fucked
Seem fine to me. I actually think this is the best hammer in Halo, up there with Halo 3's hammer.
