Re: Some questions about Halo 3's campaign

In Response To: Some questions about Halo 3's campaign (RyanTheHeretic)


: -Floodgate: why does the ship choose to crash into Voi? Why doesn't it try to
: go through the Portal?

Either
To build up a bigger force before jumping through.
Because they didn't know what the portal was/did
Because the course was plotted pre-jump and wasn't changed in time after seeing the portal

: -Floodgate: why does the ship have a clean cut hole leading to the storage
: device... it's a little too covenient, but I can brush this aside.

Plot simplicity. You don't need to fight all the way back out, then.

: -Floodgate: Cortana uses a data storage device... how the heck did that get
: on there, and why didn't the flood notice it?

Because Cortana's hella smart and sneaky.

: -Floodgate: how did the Elites know that there was a storage device on that
: ship?

Scans, and/or transmissions

: -Floodgate/The Ark: how does Cortana know that "On the other side of the
: portal, there's a solution... a way to stop the Flood, without firing the
: remaining Halo rings!"... she's been trapped on High Charity. She
: doesn't know about the Ark Portal. Even if she did, she wouldn't know OF
: the Ark.

Knowledge from the first Halo. She didn't know EXACTLY what that solution was, she had the same info as 343GS. 343GS doesn't give such information as willingly, though, but he knew of the installation, and he didn't know all the details due to compartmentalisation of such details.

: -The Ark/Covenant: what is the Sentinel's priority task?

Rebuilding Installation 04

: -Halo: how do Flood dispersal pods drop from the sky?

They were launched from elsewhere. What goes up.
Maybe the flood has a flight form.
Maybe they commandered a ship.
Maybe they dropped them from the top of the valley.

: -Halo: how does Johnson's Warthog get to where it is? He would have had to
: make jumps from the opposite direction of the ramps.

He might've been dropped by Pelican.
And Plot.
