It isn't really a movie. It provided us with a backstory to Lasky.

I think it was good for what it was, personally I would have scrapped episode 2 and added more action to the ending.

  • 01.04.2013 12:16 PM PDT

It set us up for an awesome fight
And the awesome fight didn't happen. :(

  • 01.04.2013 12:16 PM PDT

I agree, it didn't. Although I don't believe it was supposed to, and I'm glad it was the way it was. It was about Lasky and the first reveal of Spartans to other UNSC, not about Halo 4.

Pretty much this.

But it had the Lasky dude in it.

Old school Bungie, born and raised,
In the Septagon is where I spend most of my days.
Relaxin', maxin', posting all cool,
Talking about Halo, life and some school.
Got in one little argument, and the mods got scared,
they said "You're gonna get banned and your member title'll be bare!"

Also demonstrates how much potential a live action Halo film has.

Really what did Lasky say that NEEDED to have back story?

By the power of truth, I, while living, have conquered the universe.

He's clearly going to be a major character in the Reclaimer Trilogy since his character has been built up in The Thursday War and Forward Unto Dawn. Would you rather he actually have some substance to his character, or be another sterile archetype like Johnson with no development beyond Contact Harvest?

I don't know he doesn't have a badass vibe like Sargent Johnson so I don't know maybe they have him die an epic death in the last game and it wouldn't matter if he didn't have back story.

I don't get why Lasky ended up as a Commander in the Navy. The academy in FOD seemed like it was for Army or Marine officers.

Also, he's a pretty key character in Spartan Ops.

<(-_-)> Teh mokey is not amused

Just like ODST adds no story to halo 2/3. Doesn't make it bad.

  • 01.04.2013 12:57 PM PDT

"So- So this means Im just going to be miserable for the rest of time?!"

"No. This means that you have to live life to the fullest. You have one life, live it well. Make sure you die without regrets. Get a new life, new mate, new family. You, out of all people, don't deserve a terrible fate of misery like that. Having nothing to look forward to is good. It makes sure you want to keep on going. Living is a right, not a privilege."

Ok?

It was still awesome.

I noticed Lasky didn't tell Chief that they've met before. He's told him indirectly, like "I never thought I'd see you again". At the end, he tried reminding Chief by telling where he went to school at, but you can see it didn't, and Lasky stopped trying. I don't see it as an plot hole, but just that it adds to Lasky's character. He knows its not important, so he doesnt really bring it up, but out of curiosity he tried just a bit.

I see what you mean but they made it sound like it would add more story value to Halo 4.

Why does he have Mark VI in the thing?

  • 01.04.2013 3:13 PM PDT

Don't worry, you're still your mom's favorite Bnet member.

Well, I don't think that was really the intention of it. I think it was more to provide us with some interesting story to give life to a character in Halo 4. You don't really need it to understand for further develop Halo 4, but at the same time it's a nice thing to have seen.

He has Mk. IV, not VI.
