Can you blame him?

Yes, 343 isn't good enough to write anything other than some bullshit about her coming back to life. These are the same people that killed off the rookie in a book and magicked the didact back to life for a comic.
There's no real reason to be believe the Didact died in Halo 4 though.

He fell into a slipspace portal, Chief only hours before went through a slipspace portal, Didact has far better armour that the Chief.

However the Didact being immediately composed despite the terminals saying he couldn't, or the fact he sicced prometheans on Blue Team despite the fact he killed Black Team (who were brought back to be killed), and Rookie being killed off were all retarded.

that was a retcon so they could bring him back for the comic, in the game he falls into a swirling mass of energy used to power that deconstruction beam
Is it really though? Considering Cortana says "Activity! Significant slipspace event, building under the Composer." as you float towards it

I'll respond in the morning/afternoon, whenever I'm up

It was a Slipspace bubble.
Even further, Spartan Ops showed that the Dicact had given control of the Promethean to Jul Mdama

yeah, after the retcon

Armor that could survive sipspace already existed before Halo 4 released.

i mean the energy core being turned into a slip space portal (which makes its own host of problems, namely why the fuck do all of these bungie era forerunner installations use power generators if they could be using slip space portals instead)

The thing was obviously a slipspace portal just by looking at it.
And how do you think the Knights the Didact made from the residents of New Phoenix got to Requim anyway? Spartan Ops' story already existed along with Halo 4. There was never a retcon.

Didacts ship entering slipspace, consistent with everything we've ever seen regarding slipspace in the halo franchise




the core that's powering the didacts deconstruction beam, the only thing in common is that its dark in the center, color and consistency have more in common with a kill ball than a slipspace portal

if it were meant to be a slipspace portal they wouldn't have had to break their own canon to make him decomposed (when he's supposed to be immune to it) to bring him back

That portal is not what composed him at all. He got composed in the  Escalashit Comics with 6 composers firing at him at once.

and since the prometheans are digital beings they don't actually have to physically be sent somewhere, they could just upload their "brains" to the domain and be downloaded into an open shell elsewhere


if the swirling mass of energy powering the composer was just a slip space portal it also shouldn't matter if you set off a nuke at it, it's not like you can destroy a slip space portal with conventional weapons

also if the didacts ship could create a hard light barrier strong enough to survive a nuke why didn't it just make one around the mc when he had the nuke and contain the explosion in it?

The Domain was not accesable at the time of Halo 4, It's the reason the Didact still hated humanity after being in the Cryptum.
When you find the first terminal Cortana states that it is trying to connect to the Domain and it cant.

Everything at the time of Halo 4 was saying the Domain is gone, which is another reason why Halo 5's story is such fucking garbage.

the didacts ship can also reconfigure itself inside, so why didn't he just not let the mc get to the core if he was carrying a weapon that could destroy it? i get that he might have wanted to take care of it himself, but you don't have to do that in the most vulnerable part of your ship. i mean the MC could have just allahu ackbard as soon as he set foot in the room instead of stumbling around on those platforms

you'd think one of the greatest military minds the forerunner had wouldn't allow anyone to get anywhere close to upsetting any of his plans, instead of you know, just letting them waltz right into the place they need to be to do so

343 canon is actually just a hot mess of contradictions

-MS wanted an esports scene for Halo because that's the thing the cool kids are doing. This backlashed for casual players who now had the majority of fan favourite gametypes like Infection, Assault, Grifball and even Forge missing from the game for up to 7 months to be patched in as "free dlc".  Even now, there are no Big Team Battle maps (Just community-made forge ones), and a significant majority of gametypes are missing. This also backfired considering that the Halo Championship Series has done pitifully in viewercount when compared to pretty much every other major Esports title out there (Averaging from a few hundred to a few thousand viewers with finals sometimes reaching 10k or more).
For the beta was aiming in that as difficult as it is in the final product? Despite playing a few games I don't recall having any difficulties playing it. Hell if I remember correctly I played better in the beta than the game. I just don't know if I played against players who were worse than the ones I encountered in the game or if aiming in the beta was truly easier.

Something I just noticed.
All of the quotes Cortana took form the Didact are the ones in Halo 4 that she could not hear.
