First, it's not efficient to ride something that you are stronger and tougher than. Before you say well they can be stronger and tougher, they can't if you read first strike you will learn that Brutes are the strongest and toughest in the covenent. So no I can assure you 100% you will not see Brutes 'riding' anything. As for the other thing, First you did not see a ground invasion all over the planet. You saw a ground invasion in ONE city, and actually if you pay attention, in the first trailer we got, you can see large explosions all over the planet (Glassing? Nukes? Certainly not ground invasion). Secondly, if the covenent were looking for something on earth, they would still glass most of the planet first, leaving the area they want. Go read TFoR. Finally yes, you did see what appears to be special ops Elites drop from orbit. That clearly helps make my case as they were obviously there to stop MC from getting to that Cruiser. That whole vid was based on that Cruiser. The Chiefs mission was to get to that Cruiser for something, apparently something important if the Covenent were willing to use Brutes, and special ops Elites to protect it.
Sorry for note posting back. I've been camping for the last few days... no internet in the woods:)
First off, your name fits your persona well. Secondly, as for this whole thing about the Brutes riding a beast yada, yada, yada... I was in no way saying that I "bet my life that this will happen!" I never state, as you do, that I can assure you 100% that this will happen. I could go either way on the Brutes ridding the beast, and that is why I brought it up for discussion. I did not start a thread on the topic so that I could get into some sort of hormonal piss fight that neither side will win. There are many reasons that a Brute would ride a beast, and there are many other reasons that they wouldn't ride a beast. I gave explanations as to why the Brutes would ride a beast so that this thread wasn't a pointless waste of text and time with no ideas to back it up. So, to that end, we could both be right, and only playing the final product will give either of us 100% assurance that this will or won't happen.
Now, back to the points you are making. Yes, we both agree that there are explosions all over the planet, but to assume that the Covenant are glassing the planet isn't a fair assessment. If you ask me, the Covenant are not glassing the planet in that vid. If they were, then we would see plasma and such coming from the Covenant spacecrafts... we don't see anything coming from those spacecraft. Those explosins are more than likely nukes or some sort of explosions from the Covenant forces on the ground. Again, the explosions are not being caused by the Covenant spacecrafts, and if you've read TFoR, then you would know that a huge fleet if Covenant craft would be used if they were glassing the planet. We would see something from the Covenant crafts if they were glassing the planet. So, I have to ask myself, why would we (or the Covenant) be using huge amounts of explosives on the ground, and all over the planet if there wasn't a Covenant ground invasion taking place... I guess the humans turned on each other in there final minutes???
P.S.
Please try to refrain yourself from give incomplete lecture on the vids, books, and anything else related to the Halo universe. I clearly would have read the books, seen all the vids, and read most of the articles if I were to make the comments that I have in this thread. So, since you felt the need to give me your two cents, here is mine for you. Don't stick your nose were it stinks, you'll only make it worse:)
