| To clarify some of what I meant... | |

In Response To: Re: Questions for Frankie (Frankie) : A good deal of time before Reach, obviously. Okay, that's not a problem then. The only reason I thought it was post-Reach was because the armour looks so much like Mark VI to my eyes. : They're not. For the last time* - Xbox one generation graphics and Spartan
Don't get me wrong, I'm not asking for Xbox 1 generation graphics; it's just that the Chief's armour looks *exactly* like Mark 6 stuff. This is MJOLNIR Mark 4 as depicted in The Package. Just compare that depiction to these: This is MJOLNIR Mark 4 as depicted by Halo Wars. And this is MJOLNIR Mark 6 as depicted in Halo 3. In my humble opinion, I think the Chief's armour in The Package looks almost *exactly* like the Mk6, and less like the Mk4. That's probably just artistic licence anyway. This depiction of the Mark 4 and 5 makes it look exactly the same as the Mark 6. That's why I honestly thought it was Mark 6 armour. Because we've seen Mark 4 and Mark 5 armour before, and it didn't look that similar to Mark 6. At least, not *that* similar. Either way, it's just art; and I don't mean to sound like I'm trying to pick apart your work or anybody elses. I'm just a total stickler for design-theme consistency and nowhere near allowing enough for artistic license. : This is low power intra-vessel fire - they don't want to ice their own ships. That's cool, thanks for the explanation. : The size of the explosions aside - you will see the actual size of the hole
: There's some tech data about the Booster frames going up on Waypoint soon
Looking very forward to both of these! : It took two Covenant Battle Cruisers and a massive bomb to take out two
Again, I messed up my question; I meant that so far in Halo Legends, we've met three new Spartans; Cal, Arthur and Soloman. Guess how many have been killed off? :P Considering how stretched the Spartan numbers are already! Then again, I believe you (or Bungie) have had an answer to the numbers problem for a long time, we just haven't seen it yet. Don't get me wrong - the manner of the deaths is fine. A lot of firepower is brought against them before they fall. I just think it's the *frequency* of Spartan deaths, not the nature of them, which bothers me. Overall, I really enjoyed The Package (though why it's a two-parter when the others were 20 minutes long is beyond me) and I'm not trying to pick it apart detail by detail - I was just confused at where to draw the boundaries between artistic lisence, retcons and possible gaffes. But all-in-all, it was fantastic to watch, so don't take me for a hater because I actually love the space battles in the Halo fiction - it was good to see some proper time given to depicting one, albeit with the booster frame twist.
