Subject: There is something I don't get about Spartan Ops...

I am the Thorian, known as Species 37 to you people. I am an ancient sentient plant that is fifty thousand years old. My ability to hibernate for thousands of years makes my real age impossible to guess though you are welcome to try.

More specifically, there's something I don't get about the mission "Shootout in Valhalla"...

Crimson was supposed to be extracted... so why send Pelicans in with Mantises on? Pelicans that could have extracted Crimson.

Did 343i dun goofed or is there something I am missing?

Covenant Cruiser doesn't approve of surviving UNSC Human scum. Covenant Cruiser will engage and lose countless numbers of Covvie idiots. Covenant Cruiser will get smacked by a MAC (I think).

I was going to say 'Well because...' But then I couldn't think of anything to say after.


Maybe... I dunno, the place where they had to extract to was in an area they couldn't go until you took out all that anti-air, but the mantis' came from a place that wasn't covered.

I'm 23, I have a house, dog, girlfriend, job and I have no interest in any fanboyism so if you're thinking about sending me a childish PM, don't be surprised when I don't call back.

Because, videogames.

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."

...Good point.
Maybe there was too much Covenant air traffic for an extraction pelican to arrive? I don't know.

343 logic, I guess?

I was gonna say this earlier. But then I realized it was a video game.

It would just me much easier to have 1 pelican come in and have them all jump on quickly instead of 4 dropping in mantises. Stupid video game logic.

I'm going with it would be too dangerous to pick them up. Dropping off the mech and flying away takes less time than if they picked him up. They could have a Pelican with a cable harness on it. It would hover above them for 5-10 seconds which gives them enough time to hock up to it. Then the Pelican would speed away.

There is no logic in SpOps.

I <3 Halo 3 - best multiplayer levels + Forge + best Custom Games + soundtrack
I <3 Halo 2 - amazing huge fun campaign + soundtrack + Fun multiplayer

I never thought about that.

It's because Crimson didn't push a button for it to happen. A button determines what ever outcome was planed for it. So since there was no button for that Pelican to pick them up. They didn't get picked up.

They're Spartans.. they could have just jumped on the Pelican while it was moving.
