Subject: What the hell is the plot to Spartan Ops?

Dead serious. I honestly have no idea beyond clearing Sniper Alley of covies/PRUMEETHEEANZ for the millionth time


Yes OP, I have no idea also, I think it is quite poorly portrayed

Goat was famous. Irie was infamous. Gh0st was FaMaS.

My stats in Halol 4

Typical Waypoint post.
no it's "its got to go" you wouldn't say the "it is got to go" would you?

New plot snag I've thought of.

Why are we revisiting the same places over and over?

One thing that pisses me off is that 343 never specified why we were at war with the covenant again. Halo 3 left off with us being at very good terms with the Elites, and now suddenly they're ruthless terrorists?

To clear the area for the Egg Heads.

It's been mentioned (very briefly, too brief for 343's own good) that this is a rouge faction of Covenant known as the Storm that still follows their old ways.

Where on earth was that mentioned?

They give enough hints, in that they're repeatedly called under equipped criminals/terrorists who are strangely zealous even compared to the old Covies. Throw in some common sense--that not all Elites would be okay with their entire world view being crushed--and you've got what they are: religious extremists who are outside the Arbiter's jurisdiction.

Buttons and eggheads...if anyone says otherwise they are blowing smoke up your ass.

I think their faction is given a name in Spartan Ops, but I could be wrong. The "rogue faction" thing itself was implied in the first level, but 343 didn't go into more detail after that (which would have been the smart thing to do).

Hey there Rob. You guys in the verse ever figur out how this spilnter cell is 100x more powerful then the original?

Oh yeah, since somebody does not believe what YOU believe; that makes us vapid...
I cannot grasp that what you call "Something happened to nothing, and that nothing became something, and it was smaller than than a period."

The UNSC is trying to kick the remaining Covenant off of Requiem and set up research facilities and such. The Covenant are trying to revive the Librarian. Also eggheads.
This is the most accurate idea I've seen so far.

it was in glass lands/ the Thursday war, but the faction starts with them blowing up other elites because some -blam!- about the arbiter being a heretic, then they fight humanity because they killed the juls wife. I'm not sure were the jackals, hunters and grunts came from.

basically, everyone wants to got to war for no reason except arby and lord hood.

They aren't. They have a lot of support considering Jul 'Mdama is like the Pope to the religious conservatives in the old Covenant races--hence the number of ships nd soldiers--but the actual quality of their technology has deteriorated. Their armor looks older, their ships lack certain key defenses, like shielding, and they can't repair them without the Engineers.

As far as anyone knows the entire Storm is at Requiem. That's one planet's worth of forces vs. the entire Covenant empire.

Yea ok. Only reason I asked if because in the Kilo-five books the elite home world had like what? 6 ships? and those were beat up.

That was a different faction, the Servants of Abiding Truth. The Storm comes from all kinds of support from various worlds.

Jul 'Mdama is untrustworthy of the humans and wants Arbiter to destroy us. He refuses, as he is making peace with us, so Jul goes off to gather support in assassinating the Arbiter for being a weak leader. Along the way, a religious civil war erupts on their planet between the Arbiter's forces and those still clinging to their religious ideals.

Infinity shows up and is aiding the Arbiter's forces, and during the battle, Jul's wife is killed. Jul swears revenge on humanity, and plans to awaken the Didact for him to destroy us. He knows he can do this because he can read Forerunner, something the religious Elites revere him for, thus gaining the support he currently has.

Grunts work for the guy with the biggest stick, and Hunters and Jackals are essentially mercenaries who work for pay.
