"Time was your ally human. But now it has abandoned you. The Forerunners....have returned. And this tomb... is now yours". - The Didact

This terminal features a character that we all expected since the recent book release :)

Enjoy and discuss!

This man, this man right here put it so eloquently that I actually cancelled my own 2000+ word long post.

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

Silverlight this, Silverlight that. Couldn't watch it.

Glory and fame, blood is our name!
Souls full of thunder, hearts of steel!
Killers of men, a warrior's friend!
Sworn to avenge our fallen brothers!
Sons of the gods, today we shall die.
Open Valhalla's door!
Let the battle begin, with swords in the wind! Hail Gods of War!

It's like an endless loop of site errors and sadness...

So 'Mdama will lead the Storm fleet.

Interesting.

That'd be cool some time during the new trilogy if there was a mission to go assassinate 'Mdama.

I am a monument to all your sins

Excellent, I was right about Jul being Storm's founder. Although TBH it's pretty obvious after reading Thursday War

It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given us the freedom to demonstrate. It is the soldier, not the lawyer, who has given us the right to a fair trial. And it is the soldier who salutes the flag, who serves the flag, whose coffin is draped in the flag that allows the protester to burn the flag.Father Dennis Edward O'Brien, USMC

OP you should add "spolier" to your title. This gives away the Plot to two Halo books, one of which was just released.

Both of which are Karen Traviss Trash.

But on topic, these guys seem pretty cool. I had no idea the Storm Fleet numbered that many. I really hope these enemies don't get annihilated the first few levels into the game.

The terminal is next to Threshold in intriguing (at least to me). I found Guilty Spark to be too chatty for my tastes. I relish the Halo 2 style drama, even though it can get absurd.

Subtitles.
You mean how the Elites seem to be speaking Japanese rather than speaking in crystal clear English or how the subtitles are sometimes hard to read due to the white background?

I came for Halo, but I heard the Tru7h, fought thru Carnage, and stayed for Bungie.

No one cares how much you know, until they know how much you care.--Teddy Roosevelt

No wonder we can't play as elites anymore in multiplayer for Halo 4. 343i made them look awful to play as.

You mean the Great Schism, inter-species rivalry, the wonder of High Charity, or how the Brutes were walking past the honour guards, Truth's magnificent voice or speeches?

What in particular stood out?

I was just kidding when I said absurd.

'Too intricate' might have been better to say. I'm not a big fan of the Forerunner Saga. It's exciting at first but then it feels like I'm doing homework researching.

Haters are going to hate.
Praisers are going to praise.

The Bungie Forums are what keeps my mind sharp and my fingers active, between writing my own movie scripts, drawing, and studying industrial design. At the moment I'm working on miniatures for a short movie that I'll hopefully be able to film once I've saved up for a camera... That's me, with the mug, trying to have a conversation with Konoko.

In all honesty, why Japanese? Don't tell me it's a cheap marketing trick in order to cater to the Japanese audience..

Haha, me too, he was totally out of character. But that's what happens when one changes director. Halo 2 theatricality ftw!

It's sangheili and not Japanese.

They just sound a bit similar but are whole different languages.

Easter Egg Hunter. Apprentice Tricker/Glitcher (learning from Grumpy and Sliding Ghost).

Trying to get Waypoint to update Halo 3 stats in detail like here. Now no one can see that my Halo 3 Spartan no longer looks like my Reach Spartan.

Really want to be a Heroic member or have a title. :/

I don't think they should have put it in Sangheili. None of the elites speak Sangheili a lot in game or at all in cutscenes. Even the ones that are elite/covenant only cutscenes, they speak english

I just, in general, dislike having to rely exclusively on subtitles in order to understand what's going on. If you are reading subtitles, then you aren't really focusing on the scene. I normally wouldn't have said anything, but in this case the subtitles were completely illegible to me due to the video quality over my internet connection.

Soon to be breaking news:


US Coast Guard prepares for massive rescue mission after Iranian fleet sinks off shore. Reports say a small thunderstorm caused most of the ships to simply...fall apart.

It was probably for the convenience of the viewer.

I prefer that they have the Elites speaking their native language, with English subtitles.
