Subject: There's something strange about the ViDoc...

In the latest ViDoc: "Desperate measures" Sgt: Buck says "Clearance codes to access New Mombasa's "Superintendent Artificial Intelligence", that means navigation data on the fly, instant intel in the field." But how would he know that he would even need the SIAI's (Superintendent Artificial Intelligence's) help if their original mission was to invade the Covenent ship?

Or am I looking to far into this and it's a mistake of Bungie's? This seems unlikely .
Also could he be saying this from when they have landed in New Mombasa? This also seems unlikely.


Remember, this is all pure speculation! Lol!

Thx for any replies!

I think maybe you're reading too much into it, its just a trailer for the game.

Buck knew they weren't going to the Covenant ship. Hence the fight with Buck and Veronica, and Buck trading Romeo's shotgun with a sniper.
Or it may be the fact that it's just a Vid Doc.

No I think you're right, I always read the sniper swapping as showing Buck knew they'd be in the city.

Yeah i'm pretty sure you're right. In their arguement, Buck says, "What can be more important than that cruiser?" and Dare interrupts him and says, "My orders." Buck knew about it but didn't tell the rest of the squad for some reason or another.

For information about my GT, "bjb yo," or the Linked account here on B.net, "Nub Cutter."

What really bothers me is that you actually get to see the faces of the people your playing as. Bungie always has to throw a curveball.

Halo=The best game series EVER!
Bungie=Bungie's so awesome I have no words
Finished Halo: Reach campaign legendary solo!

they've already landed, stranded from everyone else in new mombassa. of course they need help!

Helping out the 7th column community with reasonable posts since '07.

Good find, but I'm pretty sure it's just narrative to the vidoc, and some helpful information to some people.

Well not all the characters. There's still no look into what the rookie looks like.

i just think buck was narerating already into the game what im saying is when he does this there lookin for the rookie on the ground and he has accesed or seen the s.I

  • 08.03.2009 8:30 AM PDT

Well, they weren't going to stay on the ship forever above New Mombasa.

  • 08.03.2009 8:30 AM PDT

Oh yeah! I didn't realise that they swapped the guns before but now the narrative does make a lot more sense, thanks guys!

Yeah, I can imagine they'll tease at us about the Rookie's appearance, but it'll cut out right when he's taking his helmet off or something.

they probably had a plan to get out of the ship onto the ground and then call for backup through the SI

also the fact that he says "they're not gonna like what they hear". I always thought that he was referring to the change in command, but it could perhaps also mean that they're dropping into the city

  • 08.03.2009 8:59 AM PDT

Never argue with idiots- they bring you down to their level and win with experience

Maybe they were going to drop around the carrier and enter via some sort of grav lift, like the 3rd missions on halo:CE. Seems unlikely they would drop right on top of a ship.

Say what? Where did you get this info from? (I do believe you btw)

Good point, hmm maybe Buck and Dare knew this and weren't allowed to brief their squad.
