I think it looks pretty cool.

Although the map itself itsnt as dark or foggy like the OG was.

It needs a little darker/creepier tone to it but other than that its cool!

The terminal was interesting as well, seen at end of video.

What do you think the Terminal means?

It shows 343 G.S talking when the Pillar of Autumn is entering/heading toward Instalation 04. It seems like he scans the ship and its crew and find the chief, scans him... And he acts like he is expecting him, the reclaimer.

because he was expecting him once he saw he was one it.

And this shows that 343 knows that humans are humans, so he isn't crazy and the "forerunner" is a title that chief earned.

Ahh I see, thanks!

Very interesting terminal!

It seemed that GS was prepared to destroy the PoA until he scanned it and detected humans and greeted them instead!

Now we know a little more.

What did he do about the Covenant though? He let them in too...

which is funny because they got there first.

  • 08.17.2011 4:36 PM PDT

So why did he just let the Covenant have free reign of the place? And why didn't he send Sentinels to assist the Autumn as it was being attacked by the Covenant?

I don't know, it seems odd.

Everything i am thinking right now.

this is something that 343 needs to go back and change, major one liners for reach

  • 08.17.2011 4:44 PM PDT

Now I remember this from conversations from the universe.

"A primitive, hegemonizing swarm calling itself The Covenant has landed on installation 4. Apparently seeking something specific. Exploring! Meddling! I've seen it all before. They'll record what they see and they'll leave."

Why so hostile towards the PoA?

  • 08.17.2011 4:47 PM PDT

I could sit there and just hit the back button all day and just look at all the neat changes.

  • 08.17.2011 4:49 PM PDT

Hello! You may also know me as Ijnekono. How you have made your way here I do not know, but welcome. (:

Was that 'terminal' from in the game?

Exactly, on the 343i fourms about this, they are throwing out reasons as well, saying the covenant got there first , that they werent a threat, and so on

which is why most people with minds realize the 343 forums are worse than here.

anyways I am assuming 343 let the covenant on due to their tech being based off forerunners?

i have no clue.

lol i know right

and that sounds pretty reasonable, i would go with that, but im sure in the other unknwon terminals it will explain more of this occurance

The Covenant would not get through due to their technology being based on Forerunner for the same reason that the Autumn managed to get through despite not being based on Forerunner technology, and that reason is scanning.

343 GS scanned the Autumn and discovered Humans. Likewise he would (Should) scan the Covenant ships and discover "meddlers" on board.

I lol'd at the absurd miscommunication that occurs whenever dibbs post something. Perhaps his brain is so highly evolved that he can no longer clearly communicate with lesser life forms, even among his own species.

Who is he supposed to be talking to...Keyes? Cortana?

hmm.

the main defense the rings have are sentinels which would take some time to get to space. so lets say the PoA arrived just after the covenant and is why we don't see any defense forces??

UWG Great group, you should check it out.

Man, that's way too bright! It really reminds me nothing of that mission! Terminal was interesting though.

  • 08.17.2011 5:14 PM PDT

No, he wouldn't let them on just for having technology derived from the Forerunners. The Flood did that, after all. And the Covenant is classified in the Bestarium as a high level threat by 343 Guilty Spark.

And it's clear the Pillar of Autumn arrived some time after the Covenant; the Covenant was already waiting for them. It's not like they exited slipspace and a few minutes later the Autumn followed suit.

More than enough time for Sentinels to be mobilised if that's what 343 Guilty Spark's protocols dictated. I'm also assuming that if 343 cracked the human encryption codes on the Autumn within a second (which would have been heavily encrypted too due to the Cole Protocol) then he could easily do the same with the Covenant's on-board computers.

Then he would have seen that the Covenant's society was based around revering the Halos as divine conduits to paradise. And would have therefore classed them as threats to the release of the Flood as he would have surmised the Covenant would be exploring the ring extensively.

Because they're going back and trying to make a backstory for something that wasn't the case in the first place.

343i's plan: retcon absolutely everything until it fits into what Frankie wants for the game's storyline.

It did not take them too long to mobilise in Cryptum when the Forerunner fleets turned on them though.

GS said that he disabled the rings defenses for the PoA to land. So, with the defenses disabled that means that the Covenant can land also.
