On the level, The Maw, you land near the front of the ship and go to the bridge. Cortana activates the coundown but then 343 GS shuts it down.
YO then take a relatively short walk to the Back of the ship where the Engines are. After that you set of the Catylist explosion, you then ride a long elevator to the ship's matinence accesway above the engines. YOu then take the Warthog on a very long drive that doesn't even take you to the front of the ship.
See what I'm saying?
You run a short distance from the front of the ship to the back, then you drive a very long distance in the direction you came from and don't even make it to the front of the ship.
Any thoughts?

You dont crash/land at the back of the ship in the Maw at the beggining. You crash the banshee and board the PoA from the side of the ship, relativley close to the bridge. The place you crash into is the Life pod bay.

Yeah. The Maw is pretty much Pillar of Autumn backward plus a 2km drive towards the back of the ship. It makes sense that the reactors are well within the ships hull because there's no chance of them being destroyed by enemy fire. The power from the reactors is transfered somehow to the engines in the rear. It makes sense to me. WHat doesn't make sense is when foehammer is supposed to pic you up, where are you. Why is there an outside part on a spaceship that a warthog is supposed to drive across? :-P

Didn't you hear what I said?
I said you land near the front of the ship, not the back!
And, yes, the reactor probably is well within the hull, but you know that you crack the engines' ...I forgot the word. But that would be close to the back, and even if it wasn't, which direction would you be going? I mean, you end up escaping close to where you came in.
Very strange...

Everything will be gone long before me. When the first living thing was born, I was here, waiting. When the last living thing dies, my job is finished. I'll put the chairs on the tables, turn out the lights and lock the universe behind me when I leave.

That that confuses me too. I mean, where on the PoA would you be that has a bridge connecting two parts of the ship? And your outside?

Maybe that part just got wiped out by some Covenant fire and then fell off when the ship landed. Still pretty wierd.

that outside area is just a matiennce area for the outer hull. remeber how u start going through all of those rooms with big doors those big doors are airlocks. and besides most of the ship was damaged by both covenant fire and the crash itself. im suprised the ship survived the impact and the covenant bombardment.

Hello ever think about also that when your driving in the warthog to get to the escape ship that when Foehammer is supposed to land and pick you up and she gets tooken down by 2 banshees and Cortnan says stop. well dont stop it saves you an extra 20 seconds beacuse it still think your stopped and waiting when you can drive right by.

I think that Foehammer can get anywhere in Halo very quickly.

I'm pretty sure the timer stops. and correct me if i'm wrong, but isn't almost ALL of the warthog drive done outside? except when you go in the tunnels.
