Head Down/ Chin Up!

Question from a friend, who made a point of stating that if Lord Hood was a title, would that not mean that somewhere on Earth in 2552, there would still be a royal family handing out that honorific?

Also, Lord Hood comes across as American (do countries still exist in 2552?) so would that mean America is once again under British rule? Or do they have their own monarchy?

Apparently he is a British noble.

As far as I know he is a British Noble.

All the countries on Earth should be relatively the same as the are today except they're unified.

Yea Because nothing could possibly happen that would change anything in the 541 years between 2011 and 2552 that would change earth.Nothing Like overpopulation, technological advancements, major wars, or anything like that would possibly happen.

When a unified earth government came around, the current British monarch may of got a bonus and became the earths royalty. You may disagree but it could of happened.

But on topic, he was defiantly given the title lord hood from a monarch.

omg not realistic stop game production plz

There's no reason why the British monarchy shouldn't still exist to that point as a tradition. So maybe he recieved the honorific from a monarch? Either way, "Lord Hood" is a pretty badass name.

  • 10.04.2011 9:58 AM PDT

According to Halopedia
Despite being a member of the British nobility, Lord Hood speaks with a uniquely North American accent. This may imply Canadian nationality, as Canada is a constitutional monarchy and a member of the Commonwealth of Nations, with the British monarch as de jure head of state. It is also possible that level of unification among the Unified Earth Government's colonies voids the distinction among many English-based accents. So he is British or at least commonwealth Royalty/Nobility and he uses Lord as a prefix to his naval rank to signify his peerage. It also states that he was a knight although this is superseded by his peerage to lord.
I hope this clears up any confusion.

"Lord" is a British honorific, yes, but it is merely a traditional thing. His accent can be contributed to being a result of all of Earth mingling under one rule.

I concede everything but military tech advancements. No offense, but the UNSC's infantry weapons aren't really that good, and their ground vehicles SUCK.
