Re: Also

In Response To: Re: Also (Metatron)

: Aside from me possibly looking too deeply into this subject, I personally
: find it strange that these labels, as you refer to them, just so happen to
: match up quite nicely with the Halo universe... specifically, the cloning
: and UNSC’s prior knowledge of a Halo aspects.

Does it SURPRISE you that they match up? Why WOULDN'T they label it something that fits with the overall universe (without needing it to actually be part of the storylines)?

A better question would be 'why, if Reach is where the vast majority of Spartan training occurred, and Reach is where the major military center of the human space presence is, would a moon of MARS be used for training the Spartans? Why risk bringing the entire Spartan crew that close to the human homeworld if you don't HAVE to?'

There's nothing in Halo, in Fall of Reach, in The Flood, in First Strike, that gives any credence whatsoever to a training center on a Mars satellite... so why WOULDN'T you think that it's just something come up with on the spur of the moment by one of the guys responsible for filling the multiplayer text boxes?

: I'm curious as to what standard/s you use to decide what is "just a
: label" and what is to be taken seriously?

Dunno - I suppose at the end of the day, it's simply a gut feeling.

I don't know how much of my opinion is being formed by information I'm not allowed to share, and how much of it is formed by 10 years of watching Bungie closely - but some things simply FEEL right, and some don't.

I could easily be wrong. However, I don't think anyone's going to know for sure before the game comes out. I guess I'm done trying to convince you that you're basing your theory on some pretty weak evidence... I don't have anything concrete I can counter with, so I'll simply bow out.
