I like teh vidya gamzz

Now I know we have all seen the Longsword in Tempest.
And I have a small theory on it.
I was reading the book "Halo Evolutions"
And in a part of the book S-66 steals a longsword and then crashes.
His body is never found after that and is declared MIA.
He is a spartan that( I'm not going to spoil it )
So, could the longsword in tempest be that one from the book?

Yes...except I'm fairly certain it's a Short Sword

Yeah... wouldn't ONI go ape-blam!- over the fact there are HUGE ABOVE GROUND FORERUNNER STRUCTURES in the distance?

Ha ha, yeah. But also there is a Long(short) sword in the BG when Noble six's helmet is laying after he has died.
And it's on Reach.
I don't know if it could be S-66's stolen longsword but it sounds cool to me that if it is that it's cool Bungie did that.

Um... what?

There is a frigate from the ship graveyard in the background, not a longsword.

Technically tempest is on a shield world.

Nope. You have to get to a certain section of the map to see the arcing Halo in the sky. Also, if you look out at sea, you can see the wall that is the edge of Halo, a place i've always wanted to go to.

S-66's escape happened in 2527.

Don't worry, you're still your mom's favorite Bnet member.

No, Tempest is on the Halo. You can see the ring in the sky if you look closely.

I'm positive it's not. Its totally a Longsword. It has Delta wings, the shortsword has swept wings.

Bam!

If its a halo ring, Then why are there those forerunner structures in the Far off section? Those are the same structures that were located on the shield world in Halo Wars.

I don't recognize those as being in halo wars.

There is also the fact that the halo ring was made by the forerunners. Why WOULDN'T there be forerunner structures?

When the prophet and the arbiter are on that platform? I can't find a picture of the halo wars ones, so I can't really back up my claims.

you know shield worlds also have walls, but that doesn't mean every installation with a wall is a shield world.


I am sure what your talking about are the weather stations that control climate.

Well, those were docking towers for ships(or actually were the ships... I can never be sure.)

Where the tempest ones look more like weather control devices.

I always thought it was a shield world, so I guess I may be wrong.

I assume you are referring to this?

They are different to the weather controlling things.

If you mean those weather control structures, they are... well, weather control structures. By structures in Halo Wars you probably mean these which aren't weather control towers but Forerunner ships. These are the structures on Tempest. They look completely different.

P.S. Here's a picture of Tempest where you can see the ring in the bacground.

When I first saw tempest, I thought I saw those. Whenever I play matchmaking I can't ever get on tempest. I rarely go on it so thats why I misunderstood what they were.
