      Brotherhood of Nod The Didact, at least in the games, is similar to the Gravemind in the sense that he knows far more about the state of the Milky Way Galaxy, its history and inevitable future than the Chief or Cortana. Cortana might've gotten a glimpse of the Gravemind's/Didact's true knowledge during the time she spent on High Charity, but it appears that the part of Cortana we got to see in Halo 5 is the part that was terrified by what the Gravemind told her and therefore decided to use the Guardians in order to prevent the Galaxy from meeting a grim fate. This fate will undoubtedly involve the Flood/Precursors, but I feel like the scale is going to be intergalactic this time around.

      @Heath Thomas, no it was perfect that he was defeated so easily. Made me like his character even more. He was still trying to get out of the massive sleep inertia / brain fog caused by 10000 years of slumber. He had a 'second chance'. But second chance to do what? I don't know. He certainly had no clue what to do. He was a sad, disoriented OLD MAN. Very tragic. I'm not sure if 343 intended to portray him that way, but it was perfect. I'm so happy that he wasn't some kind of overpowered super-hard-to-defeat boss. He was more important to the story, not to the gameplay.

    This was a truly bad ass entrance and speech. They really fucked up not making the Didact the main antagonist of the new trilogy.

      Maybe they could save the new trilogy by making the Didact come back as a Promethean.

    I know people say the Didact shouldn’t have been defeated in this game but he was AWESOME in this game. I love this campaign and the Didact served as a great antagonist. Probably one of my favorite villains next to the Flood and Profits from the original Halo trilogy.

    it depends of their form; the Warrior-Servants (like the Didact) had six fingers, but the Lifeworkers (like the Librarian) had five or seven fingers

    One of the best introductions to a villain ever. kickass voiceacting + the didact was one of the strongest individuals in the halo canon. he was cool, mean and looked kickass. what do they do to him --> kill him of with a 2 button QTE.. i hate halo 4 so much...

      ***** He did not defeat the flood, the flood stopped attacking because they wanted humanity to obtain the mantle. The forerunners believed that they created a cure to combat the flood.

      You really think the Didact is dead? Little fool, the Didact was stunned by a pulse grenade, and fell into the composer's beam (which, if you watched the terminal videos, you'd know he is very much immune to) and ended up where ever the slipspace portal beneath the Composer was sending the human essences to. don't believe me? Read the latest issue of Halo Escalation. Your dislike of Halo 4 is thereby rendered baseless.

    • @blinkyrem

      gettotheGate The Composer was firing the other direction to the direction the Didact fell… Not to mention that the Terminals are full of inconsistencies as well.
      Yes, the Didact is dead. All players killed him with a sucky QTE, which will remain a sucky disappointment every time anyone plays it.
      Fortunately Bornstellar probably isn't dead.

    • @gettotheGate
      @gettotheGate Před 10 lety +1

      ...I say again, he IS immune, and you WILL read the latest escalation comic, which SHOWS that he IS alive, you frelling noob. NOW CHECK THE SOURCE MATERIAL BEFORE YOU REPLY TO ME AGAIN!

    • @blinkyrem
      @blinkyrem Před 10 lety

      Little fool, I mentioned that Bornstellar probably isn't dead. What haven't you read the Forerunner Saga, you frelling noob. At least check the relevant source material before making claims.
      To be honest, the main reason I commented was not on the validity of your claims but the arrogance with which you made them. You insulted people over comments from 5-6 months ago, who would have had no chance to read the latest Halo: Escalation comic, over information that was only confirmed in Halo: Escalation. Do you see the lack of logic in your reasoning there?
