in order:
reach broke the rules at EVERY corner, there are PLENTY of forums on Bnet alone that prove this.
the halo 4 trailer, the Chief wakes up (without the thawing stage) with fresh armour (i'll admit just for graphics) uses his JETPACK (WTF) and fires a ROCKET PISTOL, that's pretty damn bastardised to me.
when you said about "all halo media is canon" there are many forum threads that prove you wrong again, for example they completely dismissed legends (which also broke the rules on every corner)
-I know Reach broke canon,but we have no choice to accept it.It's up to 343I to say what canon is or not,not us.
The Halo 4 Teaser is non canon,it's not how the events will play.Chiefs new armor desing will be explained in the game itself,he won't just wake up suddenly with new armor(again Teaser=non canon). What i think will happen is that he wakes up with his old armor then get's the new one either inside the ship or inside the "planet".
That's no jetpack,those are thrusters and Spartans do have them(at least Mark VI and above)
And WTF is the problem with that "rocket pistol",when was it a huge problem if they introduce new weapons into the series?
I don't give a -blam!- about what others retards say about Halo legends,i challenge them to come into this thread and list those errors.It didn't broke canon at all,trust me it didn't.
What i find funny is that those Legends haters bash 343 for canon errors and act like smartasses as if they knew anything about Halo,if they trully had any decent knowledge on Halo ,then they should have known it didn't wrecked canon.But again it's the internet we are talking about.
the wiki page, I saved you some time and found the exact paragraph that supports alot of my claims http://masseffect.wikia.com/wiki/Reaper
look under the "technology" section
I would also advise you to read through the effects of element zero and the mass relays
when you said about proving reapers can essentially make slipspace jumps, I direct you back to how the core of a reaper functions like a mass relay, which in simple terms, makes things go really really fast.
when you said about 'have they ever done it?' then of course not, they've never needed to, but they are intelligent enough to be able to (based off FACT, not assumptions, they are the pinnacle of artificial intelligence)
So?It's assumptions on your part that can do that if they want,does their tech even allows them to do that.If ME FTL is anything like star wars hyperspace then i can never see Reaper jumping around without colliding into their buds.
The Covenant themselfs can use that tactic as said in ghosts of onyx(i haven't my copy now to prove it)
-Well it take 3 average UNSC ships to take one a single covie ship.
LOL sorry, still haven't quite worked out this quoting thing but oh well.
if we accept what 343 tells us, the storyline makes no sense, reach conflicted with so many other aspects of the storyline, because the couldn't be bothered to re-read the books and write a storyline around them, now they are trying to cover their tracks by re-writing the books, which is pretty -Blam!-ing retarded.
when I played through the level "Halo" on halo 3 and say Johnson fighting the flood with a spartan laser, I thought it was pretty extreme, he could've just used an AR or something, but apparently the dawn was FULL of rocket pistols?!?
I'm actually scared to use the AR in halo 4, it might shoot incendiary bombs or some -Blam!-
as for legends, I really liked that film, I even watched it the other day, but I can pause it every 5 seconds (no exaggeration) and pick out a flaw, from obvious stuff (cortana said the UNSC and covenant 'teamed up' WTF) down to tiny details (there are 3 pheonix-class ships, the spirit of fire (pheonix-class) was one of a kind)
as for the reapers, they are the most intelligent things ever created, in halo terms I have no doubt they are AT LEAST as intelligent as an ancilla, while having complete control over a ship aswell.
I did some research on the final cutscene from ME1, it took constant fire from what was left of the alliance fleet to take sovereign down, while he was stunned (trying to control Saren and unlock the citadel at the same time didn't help) PLUS some/most of his long range weapons were down.
I'll have to get back to you on a reference for that though (is there a ME forum?)
-Reach just contradicted with the Fall of Reach battle itself.But luckily major events from the old book are still intact like Blue-Read team missions,...but you are right there are still lots of unanswered stupid things like the Autumn on ground.
-It's just because we can't use the full UNSC arsenal in a single game,that's why there was no Hornet in Reach even if that planet had them.
-Frankie explained that the reason of that is because Cortana was half rampant and all the events portrayed aren't accurate.
Spirit of fire isn't a one of kind,the UNSC built many colony ships to colonise planets,one ship couldn't have done it on it's own.
-There is probably one of the ME sites.
I very much doubt a Reaper is even on par with a Forerunner ancilla.
I don't know much about ME so what are the feats of Reapers in the AI field?
I wasn't too bothered by the lack of hornet in reach, I thought the falcon handled awesomely and was more of a team-based vehicle like the warthog so was better on multiplayer aswell.
as for the reaper AI, they are the very pinnacle of artificial intelligence, they have the ability to understand the thousands of organics they encounter, they can indoctrinate organics and they have the technology to build things like the mass relays and more reapers.
that is incredibly intelligent and that's just the surface of what they can do.
not to downplay ancillas, but their intelligence is limited, there must be a point where they simply cannot process any more or whatever, they are for civilian use so don't need to be top-of-the-line, though their plus side is that they can connect to the domain which I thought was a genius idea.
I don't have any statistics or anything, so I don't know where a reaper AI would fit in with the likes of a metarch, but I'm certain they are better (even if only slightly) than an ancilla, the main reason I say this is that the reaper AI's have lied for an incomprehensibly long amount of time, they have watched and helped organic civilisations rise from the dust and wiped them out when necessary.
forerunner AI's however eventually age and slowly but surely become rampant, as seen with the monitors.
I am aware monitors may not be the most advanced forerunner AI, but it's the only example I have.
