Okay so i was playing Halo becuase my Xbox live subscribtion ran out today, and halo2 's missions are...-blam!-!
Oky so i was playing The Truth and econcilliation, on legendary. So i'm right at the end of the lvl when u gotta release the dropship. So i go inot the shuttle bay and blow the -blam!- outta the few Covenant Patrols. Then i click the button and i accidentaly fall of the edge. But then a pelican comes into the shuttle bay. I was like "WTF IS THIS?" then it dropped a -blam!- loard of Marines..now im pretty sure probly cuz my cd is scratched but wth? it was the weirdest thnig. I wish i had some pic to post.

That is weird, I don't recall reinforcements coming at that point though it's been a while since I played it. It so happens I'm getting close to there right now, replaying on Legendary for some fun like you, so I'll see if I can do it too.

A few questions. How many Marines do you still have with you? Just Keyes* or more? Did you just walk through the switch after hitting it to fall? And did the fall kill you?

* D'oh, said Sarge before, meant Keyes of course.

LOL!! You werent listening.

CORTANA:

Cortana to Echo 419. Requesting reinforcements at our position.

FOEHAMMER:

Foehammer here, Cortana... I read you, but you're INSIDE the Covenant ship! I'm not sure I can -

CORTANA:

Lock onto my signal and approach fast and low. There's a shuttle bay on the ship's starboard side.

FOEHAMMER:

Roger, Cortana- Echo 419 on approach.


When you lose most of your marines you get reinforcements.

Not listening or always kept enough Marines alive :-) I don't remember hearing it before. Now I wonder if I should let the Marines take point just so I can see this reinforcement Pelican :-)

The life of the dead is placed in the memory of the living.

It wouldn't be at the end but I've only seen this happen once and it was a nice treat. You open up the shuttle bay doors and when you've ran out of marines you'll see a Pelican fly in and hover there. Marines get out and will try and help you out from there on.

one time all the marines got out at the same time and all landed on top of each other. man they looked like cheerleaders but with guns

It's funny. One time I had the first 5 marines follow me in, and they went with me PAST the control centre. Then i Rescued keyes, and fell off the ledge like him. Cortana got more reinforcements. By the end, I had like 13 marines with me.
