Your friendly and eccentric Sangheili forum-poster. :)

It SEEMS believable - I mean, everyone said that the Halo Reach leaks were fake, but looking back they were actually very much real. So I'm going to take all of this into consideration, but I won't get my hopes up for any of it actually happening.

Seems real, sounds like a oxm story or something.

  • 06.07.2011 12:20 AM PDT

The tide is turning, brothers! Let us take our kingdom back!

I hope my gullible nature won't betray me with this.

Yeah, I loved that mission in the Reach Campaign where you flew a Frigate.

Did you really think you would be able to pilot a Frigate in Reach?

I have two responses for you:

If it's real, THANK GOD FOR PUTTING YOU ON THIS EARTH TO SHOW THIS TO ME!!!

If you just pulled it out of your ass,
FFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU UUUUUUUUUUU

Do you know what kind of hat I'm wearing?

A party hat; you don't get one. An honor will this party be, a party in your honor, for your honor. Some of Tfear's personal guards are going to be there. You'll be introduced shortly.

Prepare to die.

There are UNSC forces on the planet but they look really degraded and disorganized and it was implied that they may be divided into factions and warring with each other. At one point we see a heavily modified warthog that has had the wheels replaced two kind of anti gravity devices.
Now we know what the spirit of fire was doing.

Anders has been busy.

Sounds legitimate.

So ONI supposedly knows about this supposed 'Sigma 7'? Even 343i are rolling with the belief around here that ONI did everything.

:P

Seems interesting, though. I like the idea of conflicts on sea -- that's something I've always felt Halo has missed; sure, there's space travel but air can't be used for everything.

Dark new foe seems intriguing too. I wonder if it will be a new alien collective like the Covenant or something more ancient, like maybe the Precursors.

UNSC being on the planet sounds... weird. Could Sigma 7 be what the Spirit of Fire found at the end of Halo Wars? I can definitely see 343i wanting to tie Halo Wars into the main series. 'They're coming back,' could mean the Flood, but they're not exactly a dark new foe.

So Precursors seems likely right now. They seem to hate the Forerunners if Cryptum is anything to go by and since we're the Forerunners' Reclaimers now... that hatred could bleed through to us.

Sounds brilliant if this is true. It's just good to know the series is getting back on track. ODST and Reach were fun but Halo should always be about ancient races, structures and the Master Chief doing the job of an entire army single-handedly.

I bet this is just what your mind created after seeing the recent trailer...

Sounds like a dysons sphere type thing to me.

Bungie games leaks.

Last time I checked, this isn't Bungie's game.

What's that?


It's the shield world Halsey, Mendez, Fred, Kelly, Linda and some S-IIIs are trapped in, at the end of Ghosts of Onyx. It's basically what you described previously - a place to keep specimens safe from the Halo rings: a bomb shelter, almost.

Fear my Pink Mist...

Sounds like a good storyline... Hopefully your facts are straight! :)

  • 06.07.2011 5:06 AM PDT

If this is real, I want to seriously thank you. Larger, outrageously epic battles are welcome (Tip of The Spear anyone?) and Crysis 2 styled weapon customization is a good change of pace. Also, player choice seems to be more influential (RPG elements anyone?). It seems 343i are being serious about mixing it up.

However, if it is not real, I will disregard you as a human being.

If it is something I learn you came up with in your head, then I will personally hunt you down to the ends of the earth and beyond, all the way to Sigma 7 and blow your heretical head off with that explosive device we saw in the trailer.

  • 06.07.2011 5:07 AM PDT

the thingabout the customizable weapons reminded me not of COD, but of Crysis and Crysis 2 singleplayer, where you hold the back button to bring up your weapon customization menu WHILE YOU'RE PLAYING THE GAME. That's AWESOME.

Lol, it's funny that in that particular forum he quotes this post, even the part at the end that says 'cheers - shadow'

On topic: Perhaps this forerunner installation, Sigma 7, was a place similar to the ark. The ark was used to keep a specimen of all the species of the galaxy so that after the Halo ring was activated they could repopulate the galaxy. Perhaps this place was where they kept all the specimens of environments, plantlife etc.

That way after the Halo ring was fired and the galaxy was all destroyed that could go terraform the galaxy with a kind of a catalog of all the natural environments of the galaxy.


Probably not, because the Halo rings only destroy actual physical environments at point-blank range (i.e. only in the same star system as the ring), so that would only be like 7 systems out of the entire milky way to terraform.

Sangheili Major: "Brute ships. Staggered line! Shipmaster, they outnumber us, three-to-one!"

Rtas 'Vadum: "Then it is an even fight. All Cruisers, fire at will! Burn their mongrel hides!"

If this is real, then I love you for posting this.

Sounds epic, but I'm not sure how I feel about UNSC forces being present.
I'm curious as to what the "dark, new foe" is. I'd like to think Flood, but then again...as already said, they aren't new. Perhaps Precursors, but I kinda previously took the line from Cryptum said by the Prisoner "I am the last Precursor," as meaning...he literally is the last Precursor.

Ahh, well. Guess I'll just have to wait. Let the suspense build up. I'm sure it's going to be an awesome game. And I'm not going to worry about the story, the canon...They've got Frank O'Connor working with them!

And if this turns out to be fake, then damn you, dude. Damn you. :)

Don't tell me that Humanity have allied with the covenant and explored new worlds together in the time between Halo 3 and 4. Cortana would have went rampant 2 times over in that period.

Interesting and enjoyable read. We'll find out details of the game soon enough.
