Subject: Nations in halo?

I have a question about the Halo universe. Are the old nations (Russia, Canada etc) still alive? In all 3 books, as far as I remember, there was no talk about nations. Which begs the question: Who is in control of Earth. Unless this has been already revealed (and please tell me if it has) I believe this is the deal. I believe there is a large sort of, under alliance which is in control. If this is true then there must be some sort of leader or head honcho. Since it's most likely Earth was surprised (on the most part) of the attack, theres a low possibility that this person, or people, wern't able to make it off the planet in time. Even if they went to a form of extremely safe shelter the Covenents technolegy (can't spell) would be able to get there right? If so then they would be able to get into a postition that could compromise this leader(s) life. Since that Spartan(s) are the most able souldiers on Earth at the time it seams most likely he (they) would be contacted. If so this would only mean 1 thing. An escort mission of biblical proportians. Think of it. Whenever in any game/movie there has been a rescue mission which involves the president/high-up-in-government-person there are always lots, and lots, of enemys/antagonists around. So imagine going down a large tunnel like building (I.E. The Silent Cartographer) and finding a leader(s), all the while fighting of whordes and whordes of enemies. Then once you locate him (they) you must bring him back up while fighting off even more enemies. That would be a very difficut mission. So if Bungie have made this level please make the enemies stupid. Give us a favor. I. Hate. Escort missions.

Talk more of Halo's universe. There should be a thread devoted to theories and such. I'm getting sick of the constant "What vehicles..." or "What Weapons...". I like to talk about things that could change and that we change.

I don't think they ever did mention specific countries or provinces in any of the books...

They just referred to Earth as...Earth

The Master Chief emerged from his code. After seeing his dynamically lit realtime shadow, he went back for 9 more months of development.

Since space is controlled by the UNSC (United Nations Space Command), I bet Earth is led by the United Nations.

Bungie wouldnt want to put somthing like this in the game or books because there will always be someone left out. If America was in control then the Canadiens would be mad. Thats the same reason they probably wont show the MC's face.

...because he's Canadian?

  • 04.13.2004 4:53 PM PDT

No, because anyone who gets left out will get mad.

Yeah, Bungie already said they wouldn't do things like this because you almost always end up alienating(sp?) somone. That's why they don't show MC's face, so EVERYONE can relate to him. Except girls.

The Humans are far beyond our petty Countries. They have planets- it’s the wave of the future. ;-)

i think they dont show his face because they want to make it a mystery. i mean they kinda describe him in the books, at least in fall of reach

Ok, stop before we get into "nothing to talk about" crap.

As long as it isn't horribly overused, we can talk about what john Master Chief uses, for all I care, my friend.

True, and about the countries. New Mombas/Earth City is a Halo 2 city. I think it's by Havana, or by New York...I think...I'm a dumbass...Don't listen. X|

New Mombassa is an East African protectorate which means that a new era of Imperialism started after we got over this whole political correctness crap and started ruling the world again. I can see the rest of the world using up its resources thus starting another scramble for Africa like the world saw in the 1800's.

Wtf? Of course Africa is still around. You know? Since it's a continent. Continents don't evaporate. There are also several places in Africa that are advanced.

A continent? You can't just wipe out a continent. That would be the equivelent of wiping out Alaska to the Panama Cannal.
