Subject: What are your thoughts on the superintendent?

i think at the beginning he'll help, but then you'll do something and he'll turn.

i mean, look at what happened when the bridge needed to be blown up. the SI wouldn't allow it (at first)

he's stubborn.

That is a good thought, but remember that the ODSTs set those charges and sent the information to the SI to have the charges to explode. Who knows though. He proaly will end up turning. Also if he does turn we will probaly have to fight him as a boss or something.

I'm like a rock. Hard, lazy, hopeless, and charismatic/boring.

I'm perfect, you're not. Can you handle that? I think I'll manage.

REDACTED!- means its not going to happen.

I think he is going to be awesome but he is still suspicious to me. as for people who said he can't learn that is not entirely true. he learned about the ODST's, yes.

Apparently, we get to meet the Superintendent when we play later in the game. It was hinted by Mr. Staten in IGN at E3.

I think he has ulterior motives, like Guilty Spark.


I can't see it, because they've add humour to the SI (the bridge scene) - they never added any humour to the 343 character. They've always kept Spark cold and lifeless. So from a storywriting kind of view I think he's gonna be helpful. Not much more.

It will help me and maybe annoy me. I have no idea if it will screw me or not but... I'm certainly hoping so...

All 3
I suppose he can help and screw u at the same time because when u set a marker, he tells u where to go by turning on bright signs. hopefully some enemies will catch wind of this and attack, thus making the Superindendant a little annoying...

He may turn on us as Joe Staten sed that he was damaged by Regrets jump.

perhaps twisting his mind?

We all know that it is a A.I character, but what do you think about it? Do you think it will help you, annoy you, screw you, etc.


We will become very good friends.

I think he will help us throughout the story. However, It is possible that someone does something that, becasuse of his program, SI turns on them. Now, wether this be the rookie, ONI or even the Covenant I don't know. But I think he will certainly be more helpfull than evil.


Although that sounds very likely what would that person do to make the SI turn on us? Like people said before he is a dumb AI so he can not learn, but they are some things in the Halo universe that are dumb, but learn and turn.

whats up w/ ppl assigning genders to A.I?

  • 06.10.2009 9:06 AM PDT

Why So Serious?

I hope he does not try to kill us in the end. That would be bad. lol

  • 06.10.2009 9:20 AM PDT

Although that would be bad it would make for an interesting and fun experince.

i think that throughout the game he will help u but say u want to get access to something he will not let u in because perhaps it is "classified" he might near the end of the game be more of a hindrance rather than a friend

Since the superintendent is classified as a dumb AI, I think that later in the game, the covenant will use it to lure you into a trap/final boss

That is what I am saying, but there is a rumor where DARE is the superintendent. Because of the thread in the Top Forum Topics DARE might betray here squad. So she will use the SI powers to kill you.

Wait... Do you remeber when the first trailer for ODST came out? Remember all the hype about "Where's Maddie?" Maybe DARE used to be called maddie in an earlier stage of the game development. We might have to find DARE in the game.

I don't remember all the "Where's Maddie" thing. Also how does this tie with the thread?

I'd have a seizure too if some genetically enhanced freak starting shooting me in the head.

Ya, but he IS susceptible to viruses,worms, hacking and reprogramming.
Ten bucks says he's reprogrammed by a certain ONI operative to work against/ mislead you.

I DARE say, which ONI operative indeed...*cough*
Anyways it's all conjecture based on nothing. :p

  • 06.10.2009 10:10 AM PDT

*Cough* want a cough drop?

DARE maybe part of ONI , but how do we know she turns against us? Maybe sometime in the campaign we will meet a different ONI operative that will betray us.
