Let's also not forget that colossal damn cliffhanger where Earth falls completely under Cortana's control in about 30 seconds.

This ain't even Covenant invasion or Flood tier. She can access just about any communications technology that exists and shut down the entire planet in one shot.

There's gonna be some fucking serious magic out of a hat bologna to even try and fight that.

Seems like 343 took too big of a jump there.

To be fair, she has about 90% of the AI's/technology on her side, which is like our smartphones and technology.  If they shut down at once, lots of people would be freaking the fuck out.

Oh and the Guardian Ex Machina can send out a sonic pulse that is also a giant EMP I guess...which is an asspull, considering Osiris should've lost their HUDs or communications when the pulses went off in their vicinity.

343 is probably jumping the gun because they wanted something big, and they knew the hype was real.  So we're all left with nothing but questions and disappointment.

Halo 5 's story for me is the equivalent of walking into the cinema, buying tickets for the latest James Bond 007 movie and then when you watch it it's the fucking Matrix.
Ain't a bad movie  but it's nothing even close to what you came expecting to watch.

You know, I think one of the really jarring things about it for me is how they reveal some of this stuff. Like there's no consistency, primarily in how they choose to reveal the Forerunners as we go along.

In the main trilogy, we got acquainted with the engineer and scientist constructs and technology. Largely automated machines, and monitors.

Then, we meet Didact and the Promethians. And this seems to be where things get a bit messy. Most of the Promethians we see in Halo 4 are composed ancient humans. Something that was living, but turned into an artifical construct.

Then suddenly out of nowhere in 5, we get another branch of Promethian soldiers. Are they composed Forerunners? Simple constructs? Or what? Why exactly are they suddenly different? And then, even further, we end up with Warden and the Guardians.

Why exactly does Warden get a million bodies? Was he a Forerunner or just another AI? Why, specifically does he get a tomb at the entrance to a Guardian to house all those bodies?

And the Guardians themselves. These machines were all buried far under their planets, so far down that you see lava. And they have the power to completely shut down an entire world of all its technology in one shot. Are you telling me these things weren't used to combat Flood infested ships or planets?

Or just convienently reburied after the Halos fired? It just seems a little off putting that we have all of these scattered styles everywhere. The Warden is literally just a pile of floating metal and hardlight plates.

Why do Promethians get semi-organic looking parts to them?

It just seems a bit messy to me.

I guess Bungie expects people to pay X amount of money to read/watch all of their expanded lore novels and comics.

This is just hilarious.  I really hope this show continues in the hopes that people will start waking up to what a mess the Republican party is and start cleaning House.  Bring back the Eisenhower Republicans instead of this loony fringe that has taken over.

One thing that doesn't make sense. At the end of the Blue Team mission Infinity control says they've already dispatched a team to Meridian to "handle" Cortana. How the fuck do they even know she's there? Unless they were lying and just said it literally after Chief said he's going there.

Probably lying to Chief to control him, or some expanded universe knowledge we don't know about.

Spoiler
Since Jul 'Mdama was killed can we assume that the UNSC now has the full Janus Key now?

Spoiler
They didn't even mention the Janus Key.  I think it'll either be a plot device in 6, or just lost in the void and will never show up again.

Judging from how the officer turns her desk over then drags her across the room I'd guess that this is a case of excessive force. That's only conjecture though as I haven't seen the full video and even then there's probably more to the story.

She didn't even report getting hurt, but now her attorney says she's wearing a cast.

Such fucking horseshit.  She's going to play the role of the hurt little black baby to the media and rake in all the attention attention and cash.

How the fuck did he mix up Personal Money with campaign money?

LOL
Could have confused account numbers.

He'll probably mix up the government account with his when he's president.

Doesn't help that all three friendly spartans are mapped to the same button

Seriously, we have three spare buttons, why not map one to Buck/ Kelly, Vale/ Linda and Tanaka/ Fred? It woukd be so much easier

Start praying for that PC port.  More buttons to play around with shit.

See, I didn't terribly dislike the story for Spartan Ops.

See, Spartan Ops was good..as a small, side-campaign.

As a full story in a game?  No.

Yeah, the cop did nothing wrong.  Sure the first video  (that the liberal media is using against the cop) makes it look bad but a new angle showed that she was swinging at him, and fell back with the desk.  Hell, he told her to get up or she'd be forcibly removed.  This is all on her.

But of course, it's the Black Privilege.
