Did Bungie ever say why Mendoza was out of the level in 343 GS?

Also, has anyone ever brought up the fact that in the Legendary secret vid the Elite hugs Sarge then drops his hand down and pats sarge's ass?

It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given us the freedom to demonstrate. It is the soldier, not the lawyer, who has given us the right to a fair trial. And it is the soldier who salutes the flag, who serves the flag, whose coffin is draped in the flag that allows the protester to burn the flag.Father Dennis Edward O'Brien, USMC

WOW real old.

Yes I know it's very old, but I just thought I'd bring it up. I know everyone's seen the vid., but nobody adresses the part where the Elite... yeah, this is uncomfortable.

Its a huge joke, as well as an egg for those who finish halo on legendary. Its hilarious.

BTW, what about mendoza? No secrets. The guy gets eaten up by the flood, like everybody else.

You can get out of a level and find him standing up out in the middle of no where. I think the guy is asking why the hell he's clear up there to begin with. I've only seen a video of it, haven't gone up there myself to say hi. Interesting question though. Would be fun to know why he's standing up there.

I think it has to do with how the game loads. I believe the models arent where they are supposed to be until you are within range to see them/ hear them. I know there is a part where you can see the ARs firing but there is no one there to fire them.. Just a thought although quite possibly could be wrong. And get over the whole Elite thing...

Its because they had his body lay on the ground after the vid, they needed to have someway for it to appear there without making him already dead and laying there.

Well, I've been up there and he just sits there (unless you shoot him, then he screams at you). However, when you are crossing the fallen tree that acts as a bridge you can see his shadowy figure through the fog if you're looking up and to the right. I haven't seen him every time but I'm sure he's there.
