      You are the king of Halo Lore, and your voice is spectacular. I have a bit of a fun question... I have a small fan novel called Halo: Yellow Team, and I would love it if you could help canon-check it for me, and then maybe... read it on the channel? I mean, ideally it would be a collaboration reading between you and the other leaders of Halo Lore like Installation 00, but you would be a step beyond I would ever hope for.

    • @BrianWalker93
      @BrianWalker93 Před rokem +14

      That's pretty much how the religion of The Covenant was formed. It was a complete mistranslation and misunderstanding of the last Terminal from Halo 3 and a few other places. Because the Forerunners have words that have no equivalent in any of their languages, or Human ones, Great Journey was used as the closest approximation and they mistranslated a part that was supposed to mean "False Transcendence" as a disparaging remark about still living on after firing The Array and thus inheriting The Mantle of Responsibility. So, from it, the Covenant believed activating The Halo Array would make them as great as their gods. Would make them as gods too.
      Even their phrase "Your destruction is the will of the gods, and we are their instrument" is a mistranslated fragment of Medicent Bia's threat to the Forerunners after being turned by The Flood. Its all super fascinating stuff, really.

He could have made himself larger and with egregious ornamentation, instead just went with a 30m tall representation that probably had more to do with allowing all of the crew members to see the hologram due to the sheer scale of some of the muster halls and auditoriums it would be sent into.

Like the Elites in Reach actually made me reconsider my engagements and genuinely posed a threat. Where as the other games I run through them like yellow traffic lights.

    This story is awfully similar to a story from history. In Japan, there was a Daimyo named Uesugi Kenshin and he was considered to be the avatar of the god of war on earth by many. Just as he's gathering allies and looking to sweep across Japan with his army, he just dies of natural causes. The reason it reminds me of this is because you've got a leader, revered by their people, gathering a massive force to make a difference in a huge conflict, only for it all to disappear overnight.
    Our real history is filled with stories like this, so in a way, this feels pretty realistic. Sometimes things just happen this way. I don't think it's bad that it was anti-climactic.

      @@MasterPiBi Sorry if my response is too long but don't get me wrong. The Reach design looks ridiculous. They're much more limber but equally heavy looking. Bulky even? It looks strange. The Halo 4-5 designs are too large and not lethal-looking enough. But they do look savage. Just not lethal. Halo 3 designs look really odd but are iconic. Basically I'm saying the design is hard to get no matter the game. But the H2A design was.... Mediocre to me. That's just my opinion. Here's my reasons for why it has the worst design:
      1. They are too fragile looking. They really just appear to be ungraceful because of this.
      2. They are not mysterious like their newer Reach designs/older CE designs.
      2. The mandibles are too small and the head is really compact. (Halo 4-5 Elites had heads too large but I preferred that look).
      3. (My biggest issue) the hooves. They have no toes. They have actual hooves.
      4: The physiology doesn't work. I think Reach got it in terms of plausibility. The legs and feet don't look like they should support the Sangheili in H2A.
      What I liked:
      1. The armor was nice. It had a nice redesign.
      2. I enjoyed their voices. They weren't brutish.
      3. The Arbiter's armor looked good with the design.
