Spoiler Halo Mega Thread

So pretty much all expanded lore and continuity complaints. Good to know.

No.

No Blue team background besides like a sentence from Locke.
Killed off Jul 'Mdama in the first level, making pretty much all of Spartan Ops and Escalation completely pointless.
The entirety of Halo 4's story has no impact because it's brushed off like nothing happened.
The Next 72 Hours arc from Escalation means nothing.
Didact was mentioned once.
Cortana's revival utterly destroyed all significance and impact of Halo 4's ending
What manhunt?
The Halo 2-tier ending.

Still a lot even if you only play the games.

Well yeah. I was just wondering about the planet in the background, which Halo or AI this might be, the possible significance of her humming Guilty Spark's tune (I think?) and so on.

We don't know. It's either Installation 01, Installation 02, Installation 06 or Installation 07.
It isn't Installation 05, because the surface was glassed, and the ring in Halo 5 wasn't glassed.
It isn't Installation 03 either because its control room was ejected.

You didn't grind for the slight chance of getting a rocket launcher card to use in the next Warzone match. While if you don't, the guy who just spent $300 has about 15 launchers he'll be able to use.

He won't be able to use them even nearly as much as you're making out.
Energy levels are required. He can't spam rocket launchers. He'll get killed pretty quickly too.

It isn't nearly as grindy as you're making out either. You get a shit load of points for just coughing, and you're constantly getting free packs.

but it is still a pay to win system

Yeah, maybe it's P2W, besides the fact that it actually isn't because it's 100% random and you're not guaranteed anything nor can you buy what you want.

of which does not belong in Halo.

Says who?

People say Halo 5's ending was Halo 2 tier but at least Halo 2's cliffhanger made sense and got you hyped for the next game. Halo 5's was just shitty.

It made sense how? It was awful.

Halo 2's cliffhanger: "sir, finishing this fight."

Halo 5's cliffhanger: *Cortana's voice is heard as you see a Halo ring*

Halo 2's ending gives no context as to what will happen next, Halo 5's shows that Cortana will be the antagonist and will try to utilize the next Halo ring to achieve her goal of policing the galaxy. Saying Halo 2's cliffhanger is better doesn't make sense to me.

Both are shit, however both give out an idea of what's going to happen next. Halo 2s cliffhanger (even though its shit) gave me an excitement because the campaign and story is great. Halo 5s story didn't excite me for Halo 6 and the cliffhanger does't even matter to me.

Also saying Halo 2s cliffhanger makes sense then Halo 5s is completely wrong.

Halo 2s cliffhanger (even though its shit) gave me an excitement because the campaign and story is great.

And then Halo 3's nonexistent plot happened

And then Reach, and now Destiny, Bungie has been falling down after Halo 2, lol.

Just listening to this grunt again and I just noticed that he makes fun of 343's art and design changes

Maybe in the next game will have a grunt that makes fun of character's rising from the dead, playing three levels as the franchise's main antagonist, microtransactions, etc...

playing three levels as the franchise's main antagonist

*Protagonist

Literally one of the non-issues with the story

The Halo 5 Forge is more tricky then i thought.

Very well done. But the question is, will we ever get a community forge playlist in the not too distant future?

Pokephile is a badass
I still wish Oakley HiDef would come back too

Also, the legendary ending. What does it mean?

Cortana has control of a Ring. Pretty clear.

Now here's the real question:
Can she activate the ring? You need a reclaimed, and she considers herself to be one, going as far as saying it was the Librarian's intent, but how true is that? Could her apparent control over the Domain let her activate the ring regardless?

000 Tragic Solitude (Monitor of Installation 00) was able to remotely activate the entire array in 2555 (Hunters in the Dark), so there's definite basis that Cortana will be able to activate it. After all, in her eyes, Artificial Intelligences are the true Reclaimers, so there could potentially be a loophole there.

Remember, 343GS wouldn't activate the ring because his programming dictated a human or forerunner needs be present. Cortana isn't bound by those restrictions, and I think it's safe to assume she still has Installation 04's activation index.

So... there's definite basis for Cortana and the Warden being able to activate the array. Whether they'll do it or not is another question.

Time to abandon my remake of Sandtrap, then.

I was under the impression he still needed a human to do that, which is why he took Broadside One

Maybe. But I can't see Broadside One activating the Halo array, presuming he knew what it would do.

But it does make more sense, truth be told, I'd repressed the entire ordeal involving BS1. It ruined what had otherwise been an amazing book.

Could be an instance where he was forced to activate it, kinda like Johnson.

He totally exists because they needed to convince people that Vale can be a Spartan.

Maybe. I suppose he was pretty messed up by the time Vale and Co. found him, so he would've been easily manipulated. Even so, 000 was able to use the tusk creature things to make Vale docile, so I imagine it could have had a similar effect on Broadside.
