Thats what I like about Halo: Its all forms of Sci-fi rolled into one, epic, mouth watering package.
The military is still there, but they're just fleshing out the deeper, more fantasy stuff. That's not a crime, is it?
Not fantasy; no magic or gods or overlords. Similar, but not fantasy.
Its more like technological fantasy, so yeah, similar. The technology and how advanced it is is what makes it fantasy.
Well it's one of the quirks about Science fiction, the fine line between fiction and fantasy. When it comes to halo's weapons it's not as fantasy based as one might think. The weapons that the covenant use are described as being under control of magnetic fields to manipulate plasma. And today as we know it we are looking at how we can control plasma using magnetic fields.
Science fiction will always have fantasy elements, because it is a fictional science, science that is unreal and hard to imagine, but it is certainly not fantasy. Where anything is possible, where the laws of science can be broken and left unexplained as to why it is broken.
Halo still is Science fiction, the laws of physics still remains semi solid with some minor leaks.
