so there is no "rampant" stage of AI.

Yes there is. Halo has the same AI stages as Marathon.

I really doubt that the MC is dead.

But what does meta-stability mean? Whatever it is, I'm happy that Cortana might still have a chance!

I would have thought that the ships power would fade away because it's cut in half and cut power to the pod, killing him.

I think he said that's how far they were from the galactic center, I don't remember him saying they were outside the Milky Way, and even if the Ark is outside the Milky Way, I don't think it'd be that far, probably along the fringes of it. Oh, and just another random point of interest, you don't have to outside of a galaxy to be able to see it, like for instance we can see the Milky Way with the naked eye here on Earth IIRC. Now the Ark is obviously much further out than Earth, since you can see the Milky Way (I think that's the galaxy you see in the sky after landing anyway) in the sky in broad daylight. [/quote]

Considering our galaxy is approximately 100 000 light years in diameter, it doesn't really change anything if Spark meant the galactic centre. If that's true, then Chief is still 118 000 light years away from home.
I know the galaxy can be observed from within, but not in the scale seen on The Ark. I'm not good in math, but I think we see the whole galactic body, not just a spiral arm or something.

I don't think that the Halos really do any damage to things with their pulse when fired, well other then completely destroy Precursor stuff, I think it only kills life because it's a pulse that affects neurons in the brain or something like that.


Must not some kind of radiation carry the pulse? Plus, when -blam!- hit the fan and everything exploded SOMETHING must've hit the frigate. Parts from the destroyed Halo was sent flying in all directions, and the hangar was filled with some kind of powerful light or gas.

They are in the (ahem) rear end - which houses the engines, engineering and power core for the vessel...so I would imagine they are ok for as long as that keeps going.

This world wants to drag you down... And the weight, that guilt they want to hang around your neck, you don’t have to carry it one more step. You think they won’t let you rest, but it’s not up to them. It never was.

Maybe Chief is found in the very distant future?

Halo Reach =/= canon

AT ALL. End of story.

I think it does. The games are the origin of the canon, therefore anything other than a game which does not fit into the games storyline is not canon.

well, thats my belief anyway; the games came first, they are the main source of the story,

  • 04.13.2011 3:18 AM PDT

-blam!- Was that actually blammed out? Or did I just type it? You'll never know.

Why do guys like you always think about money money -blam!-.

Halo isn't just about making money,it's story and fun too.


It makes the world go 'round. And this is an industry, it is about money.

Well the guy you quoted is right and wrong, there is going to be a set of books set in the Haloverse post Halo 3, but I don't know if Chief will be involved in the story at all, we don't know much about them yet other than they're being written by Karen Travis and they're set post Halo 3.

  • 04.13.2011 8:35 AM PDT

Please, no hurt! Me like Elites. Brutes stinky bad bad. Me stay here, make sure no Brutes come behind mighty Arbiter. Heh, heh... Eh?

Where did you here this?

Meta-stability is the stage after rampancy. Basically the AI "Becomes a real person."

I think the hanger was simply filled with the light of the Halo firing (Look at Delta halo, it had a pretty big flash.)

As for the frigate being hit, I doubt it would have been hit by any pieces of the halo or the ark (Which we don't know how damaged the ark is after the ring fired and tore itself apart.) The reason I think this? The frigate went through the portal before the halo effect reached it, or Chief and Arbiter would be dead. As for the ship being cut in half, I blame that on the portal closing. In my theory, it closed as the frigate started exiting, causing the front half to appear over Earth, and sending the other half who-knows-were.

1. He's in a cyro pod.

2. Just because he was never found by the UNSC does not mean he was still in the half of the ship. He was drifting towards a planet, remember? A forerunner planet.

It was never stated nor implied that he was outside of the galaxy. the way cortana said "Its going to take years for them to find us" Suggest that they aren't really that far gone.

Damn, They are in the galaxy still..


Wrong. Guilty Spark stated that The Ark was located around 218 000 light years away from our galaxy. Also, upon first setting your feet on The Ark, you can see the Milky Way in the background at a vertical angle relative to The Ark. He also assured the Chief that The Ark was way out of range from the halo fire. Not that that part says anything specific about range, but that should be proof enough.
I believe Cortana lied to the Chief when she said there was merely years until their beacon was discovered, to keep his hopes up or something.





did you even read my post or even know what you are talking about?

The legendary planet isn't near the Ark and i am now thinking that it is indeed in our galaxy based off cortana's quote.
She wouldn't have any need to lie to chief about that, what would he do break down?

But Cortana doesn't knows where they are,maybe she assumed they still are in the milky way.

Those are my cents anyway,i could be wrong.Just bring Halo 4 damnit

I read your post and I know what I'm talking about. What are you talking about? You insisted that it was never stated that they weren't in the galaxy, and I countered that with what Spark said. What's the problem?

I don't either think the legendary planet is near The Ark, because then we would probablhy see Chief looking at The Ark in the ending cutscene or something. But that does in NO way mean it has to be inside the galaxy. How would they end up in the galaxy anyway unless some force randomly changed to path of the Frigate rear and they drifted into the galaxy on a timelapse of around 1 million years.

And yes, I sincerely think Cortana bluffed to Chief when she said that. Not that'd he'd break down and cry himself to death or anything.

You still don't know what you are talking about. The statement cortana made about the location of FoD didn't imply in anyway whatsoever that they were outside of the galaxy. It has nothing to do with the location of the Ark.


Just because the portal and the Ark are outside of the galaxy has no affect on the destination of the portal. Medicant Bias clearly states that he was sending Chief to the Foreunners so where ever the forerunners are is where the Chief is at.

So he is ether somewhere on the other side of the Galaxy (which i think and is more likely) Or The Magellanic Clouds (i highly doubt but this is the only extra galactic place that would make sense for the forerunners to go)

  • 04.13.2011 3:42 PM PDT

Why don't you try to explain what goes on in your head a little better then? They never even entered the portal, and thus they are drifting away from The Ark. They weren't sent to a random destination. They didn't end up in the slipspace dimension. They were left outside the galaxy, in the vicinity of The Ark, only drifting away from it.

What makes you think they suddenly are on the other side of the galaxy? Cortana's words? Even if what she says is true, then where did she get the data to calculate their coordinates?

How about you have knowledge of what you are talking about before you try to talk down to somebody. They did enter the portal

"I'm not sure. When Halo fired, it shook itself to pieces. Did a number on the Ark. The Portal couldn't sustain itself. We made it through just as it collapsed."

Did i say they were on the other side of the galaxy? no i did not, I was figuratively stating that he could be on the other side of the galaxy or in the Magellanic clouds. All we know is that he isn't in the Orion complex, Near UNSC space, Near formerly Covenant space, or Near the Ark.

  • 04.13.2011 4:52 PM PDT

First things first; Cryo tube != containment cell.

Second of all, Halsey did not necessarily deliver that Eulogy at the same time as the time stamp on the cutscene in Reach. But most importantly, simply because as of 2610 they had not yet found him does not mean he's dead.

  • 04.13.2011 5:08 PM PDT

Why didn't you post the whole quote?

"We made it through just as it collapsed. Well... some of us made it."

-

"So he is ether somewhere on the other side of the Galaxy (which i think and is more likely)"

Maybe I misunderstood this but if I'm not entirely dyslectic then you said that they are presumably on the other side of the galaxy.

By the way, the thought of them being in the Magellanic Clouds at the Legendary ending is interesting.

How is that part relevant at all? Some of the ship went to Earth, Some of the ship went where ever stuff goes when slipspace fails, the rest is with chief.

  • 04.13.2011 5:17 PM PDT

Then why did you bring it up? It doesn't prove your point, it only proves that they didn't make it through anything and were left sailing away from Ark-space.

Are you trolling or something? The portion of the quote you left out changes the entire statement, I don't see how that's NOT relevant.

They assumed that he was dead, we won't however know what will happen to Master Chief until the release oh Halo 5(Reach was H4).
