Subject: The Mech in Halo 4

XxXD3LuuX3 X luuC1d17YXxX

Anyone else pissed off by this?

The thing I've always loved about halo is how it seems plausible (to a certain extent) and seeing -blam!- like his just really kinda kills it for me, I know it's multiplayer and perhaps not cannon, but still I mean really, why would they even put this in?

Discuss the mech in Halo 4. (as seen in the multiplayer footage)

Its the cyclopes (mark II?) from Halo Wars. It's not useable. Relax.

At first I thought you meant that thing from the concept trailer.

OT: How is this not plausible?

Because, y'know, people don't need those things to move heavy equipment and giant crates around with ease eh?

This--I mean, we're prototyping exosuits and what, to the effect, are mechs today. Not on the same scale or power, but that's why Halo 4 is 550 years into the future.

I never understood how sci-fi fans can be so put off by more sci-fi.

Oh, and the mech is from halo wars.

somewhere in the heavens...they are waiting. I love the Marathon Trilogy.
Halo CE will always be the best game in the Halo franchise. What a perfect game.

I think the mech is awesome, I wonder if you jump in the way of the arms buidling the mech you'll be killed.

"I'd have to say Lockout was the worst"


I'm pretty sure that's heresy, and that it conflicts with the "Code of Manliness" - page 792, section E subsection D paragraph 3.2. I suggest you relay that statement.

Can you post a link to the footage you are talking about? I too share in the dislike for most mechs and, now that I think about it, am glad that halo never did include them. I don't think bungie would have done it but it's not in their hands. As long as it's done with class I'm sure it will turn out alright and maybe even to your liking.

  • 03.07.2012 9:30 PM PDT

Halo can be described in 3 words. Ancient. Mysterious. Epic!

It's just a cool Mech in a multiplayer map, and I can see the UNSC having things like that....and I really like Mechwarrior so yeah...

  • 03.07.2012 9:38 PM PDT

Finding the love of my life, and moving house really screwed up my gaming orientated lifestyle.

There are already mechs present within the canon.

It's the development of a cyclops Mark 2, how is it not plausible?

It's not even playable, it's just a design piece.

Besides, it's been around since Halo Wars.

Exact science, is not an exact science.

Plus they can make a Toy out of it, to add to the other endless amounts of Tat they spew out, which seems to be the drive nowadays.

Halo 3 was chapter closed for me on the Chief, this Halo 4 is already looking a bit over boiled for my liking. The vid doc was all a bit pious "oh look aren't we brilliant, we have all this history to abuse".

Good Luck 343!!

And what does that mean? If you're talking about the multiplayer: Jesus it's not that big of a deal. Why would they not set multiplayer maps in random locations from all over the universe? It makes no difference but to allow new and interesting locations to play in, as well as expanding lore.

Halo 3 did the exact same thing with it's maps, you don't complain about that.

All I'm hearing is, is that it's somehow a bad thing that 343i acknowledges the existence of all these locations and all of this backstory.

So you are complaining that the lore is actually expanding and referance itself?

What a moron.

The person who said participating is important, not winning, obviously never won anything.

Why would you consider it shouldn't exist? It's just moving scenery to add detail, the same way the building of the Scarab in that one Halo 3 level did.

It just adds context. Just because it's there doesn't mean it's usable.

  • 03.08.2012 6:59 AM PDT

It's a 100% plausible and 100% cannon. There's Cyclops and "the suit", just to name two mechs in halo canon.

MJOLNIR Mk I
MJOLNIR Mk II
MJOLNIR Mk III
HRUNTING/YGGDRASIL Mark I Prototype ADS
HRUNTING Mark III [B] Exoskeleton

Oh yeah, mechs are totally out of place in the Halo Universe... Though I should mention that in an interview (see the 343i update on their homepage,) Frankie says that the Cyclops II is not operable for players. This I personally find regrettable, but he also said there would be vehicles that comparatively dwarf the experience. Perhaps we get to pilot a War Sphinx?

It's not a mech, its an exosuit used as a loader, like what Ripley uses in the end of Aliens, just infinitely better.

That is more of a power suit than a mech. Its more like MJOLNIR combined with the Iron man outfit, with an overkill on weapons.
