Subject: Reoccuring Field Marshal In Reach Nonsense?

Where did this come from? I hear people keep saying that there is only one of them, and he is the guy who knocks 6 over. He is the one who kills Kat. He is the one you fight at the end.

It's an in-game model used for a rank, and looks identical to all others of that rank. Same with every other varient of no-named Elite.

Am I missing some Bungie post saying they are one and the same? Anyone else have thoughts on this?

Message me if you want, I will try to get back as soon as possible.

See you on the forums and in the games.

You didn't, we know for sure you kill the Field Marshall that knock you over in Winter Contingency. I believe you kill him on Tip of the Spear? Either way, it's not the same elite each time.

  • 11.14.2010 1:03 PM PDT

I like to think it's the same one, I don't know it is though... Well, Field Marshals would generally be hard to come by so it's possible.

Unless, "1T'5 T3H 4rBit0r!"

Actually, that Field Marshall runs out, past Emile, and Carter tells him not to pursue. He lives.

I take responsibility, and it is only a theory, that I have posted TWICE. And credited it as Halopedia members.
The argument put forth (which I accept) is that Field Marshall is a very high rank, which would put him as an overall ground commander of the Reach Recon Force.
If there was more than one, it would be like the US Army having 3 different Supreme Allied Commanders in WWII.

You fight a Field Marshall on 2 different occasions. The first is in a cutscene. The second is at the very end of PoA.

They're after the Forerunner data. Do the math.

you then have the option to kill him on tip of the spear theres an acheievement for it

By the power of truth, I, while living, have conquered the universe.

I always liked the thought that the Field Marshall in Winter Contingency has been hunting down Noble Team over the course of the game, that he's the one that kills Kat and Six.

You kill a Zealot in that mission, not a Field Marshall.

  • 11.14.2010 1:20 PM PDT

except for the fact you kill him and kat i think was killed by a jackal

  • 11.14.2010 1:21 PM PDT

The Elite from Tip of the Spear is a Zealot not a field marshal. I'm going with the theory that it's the same field marshal through out the game.

Sigh...

No, you kill a Zealot in Tip of the Spear, not a Field Marshall. Also, it has been established that it's an Elite that kills Kat since the Battle Begins trailer came out.

Are you capable of reading? YOU KILL A ZEALOT, NOT A FIELD MARSHALL.

Some can come away from reading "War and Peace" thinking it a simple adventure story, while others can read the ingredients on a gum wrapper and unlock the secrets of the universe.

I actually never picked up on the Field Marshall thing. But the reasoning is sound, it's the same dude.

Could it possibly a prestablished character from GoO perhaps? Or at least one that will be elaborated upon by 343 in the future?

Soon to be breaking news:


US Coast Guard prepares for massive rescue mission after Iranian fleet sinks off shore. Reports say a small thunderstorm caused most of the ships to simply...fall apart.

Kat was killed by a Field Marshall.

Okay, let's get some things straight.

In Winter Contingency, you're knocked over by a Field Marshall. He escapes. You chase after the Zealots.

In Tip of the Spear, you kill a Zealot.

Is the Field Marshall at the beginning of the game the same one that kills Kat? I don't know.

The Elite that takes a swipe at 6, Jorge and Kat is clearly a Field Marshall.

Considering how the differences between a FM and Zealot's armour are that minor, it would not have been immediately apparent during combat that it was an FM, as opposed to a Zealot.

  • 11.14.2010 1:37 PM PDT

Thanks guys. But my point is, that its just a theory. It's as viable as a theory stating that two of the Elites in the final cutscene are the extra Elites you can play as in Halo 3.

Is there anything concrete about this? Actually, someone mind reposting that theory that was mentioned earlier? In more detail than just an overview.

Don't worry you're not alone, it's bugging me too so I'll explain:

In the first mission three elites attack you, two Zealots one Field Marshal. The two Zealots kidnap the marine and kill him while the marshal chickens out and runs away (with some data).

Now, on tip of the spear you have the option of killing a Zealot not the Field Marshal from the first mission.

At the end of New Alexandria Kat is then killed by the same field marshal from the first mission (or just another field marshal).

Finally, on the final level, a Field Marshal appears for a third and final time where you kill him (this is the only one you kill ingame other than BOBs). So, no more silly ideas please :)

Skip to 0:49. The leader is clearly a Field Marshall, the other assailants are Zealots.

It was a talk page on that Field Marshall that you encounter specifically, but when I read it several days ago, it was slated for deletion (or merging).

I can't find it, so it may have been deleted or merged. In the page for Field Marshalls in general, it does refer to the appearances in Reach in the singular, as opposed to general plural.

Three times. The Elite that killed Kat was a Field Marshall, confirmed by Bungie.
