Rawr Im a dino!

Maybe if Humans weren't at war with the Covenant then I would support them. Otherwise they are just being a huge annoyance and distraction from a extremely dangerous Enemy.

Actually according to Dr. Halsey's journal the Innies sided with the UNSC when the Covenant attacked. Except for a few small dissident factions all of humanity united against the aliens.

I Support the UNSC. Though I have no reasoning other then the insurrection could obtain their independence through other means. Now I don't know if they've tried other means but I would assume they may have.

Now I would have sided with the Innies if they weren't resorting to terrorist like actions as some stated in earlier posts.

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

Posted by: anton1792Wow. In that case, I would fully support the Insurrection's motives. Their methods on the other hand, I would be against.

What's the saying? "The road to Hell is paved with good intentions?"

Compared to Libya it's a -blam!- love-in.

"Ignorance is a plague."

Close, but the plague killed those infected with it, and the ignorant are still alive.
I wish ignorance was a plague.

The United States of America was not the only country that rebelled violently against their colonizers. It could just as easily be South Africa or Kosovo.

UNSC. While they weren't good at handling the Outer Colonies, they still get my support for wanting to keep humanity united when exploring an enigmatic and dangerous galaxy. Plus, many of their military leaders, like Admiral Hood, seem rational and as humane and sympathetic military leaders can be.

Whoever was the second one to start the war. I agree with the Innie's desire to leave, but if they were the ones to start it I'd go with the UNSC. Now if UNSC started it...

I support the Innies. Though if they target innocent civilians then I'm against it. They are pretty much Colonial America in the 1770s

@accordingto343

Your one stop shop for all of 343's fabulous errors and ridiculous notions in the Halo lore.

Even if the rebels were free, you think everything would be hunkiedorie? You think no rebel planet would try to expand their empire and conquer other planets? They would eventually commit the same sins teh UNSC did.

your post


I have sympathy for the rebels, but such movements generally are better equipped to fight for their freedom than they are to look after themselves when they have it.

The UNSC, in my opinion, is the only thing keeping the civilians out of harms way.
Of course diplomacy has a way of not working in these situations unless it comes in the form of a 600 ton tungsten slug. :/


Exactly, the UNSC is essentially the forces for law and order against basically a group of extremists or terrorists harming civilians and causing unneeded trouble and violent civil unrest. And IIRC, the Innies are the ones who started the fighting too. I sympathize deeply with their cause and with their plight, but their methods for trying to achieve change totally sucked!

Indeed, violence should always be the last resort in deciding anything (well depending on the situation), but often it's the best or only way to get your opponants' attention and let them know you that mean srs biznizz :P

@ ImmortalJoshua:

The Innies nuked a colony with a dirty bomb. Eight million dead from the blast, 12 million fatally exposed to fallout, countless birthdefects and abnormalities for generations to come.

I support the insurrectionists. While their methods are deplorable, their cause was just as they were fighting for their freedom.

The UNSC was a totalitarian power. They subjected the colonies to their will without giving them a choice or a say.

To whoever says Egypt proves you can have a revolution with little or no violence I give you Libya, Syria, Bahrain, Yemen, Iran, North Korea, Kosovo, Eastern Europe in the 1950s, The United States and China.

Has anyone else noticed that pre-contact Halo bears a striking resemblance to Firefly?

Yep. I have only seen Serenity though, but I'm aware of the similarities between the two lores..

Staff Sergeant future 510, serial number HHT3-09PL, Flood Military Reserve.

I really haven't thought about the Innies as revolutionaries. I more closely associate them to terrorist, what with their bombing of civilian and military targets.

Yeah, I noticed that after I first saw Serenity. God I love that movie, and Firefly is one of the best liveaction shows ever created. Halo post-contact is still rather similar if you ask me.

  • 04.25.2011 1:32 PM PDT

Is it true Firefly takes place all in one solar system?

Oh so true.

It's true, but I noticed that the Insurrection in Halo was based on the same basic premise as the Civil War in Firefly. Totalitarian government created by a united Earth is rebelled against by a coalition from the outer colonies.

Yes it is. Firefly takes place in one giant solar system. That was done (probably) to get around the problems caused by relativity. Halo has multiple dimensions, Firefly just doesn't go FTL.

It would be similar if the Browncoats, when they were defeated by the Alliance, had instead of surrendering turned to terrorism instead.
