In Response To: Halo 2 Trailer Dialogue (transcription) (ElectricSheep) : This is, to the best of my ability to hear what is being said, a rough
: General: "Admiral, you can't let them maintain orbit."
: Admiral: "My frigates are combat ineffective in the fighters. They don't
: General: "I'm asking you to retarget the orbitals!"
: Marine: "The core defense is too intense. Our grid is matched, I don't
: Cortana: "What if we miss...?"
: Some thoughts: The Admiral sounds more like Pete Stacker than the voice of
------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thats all well and good, but there are all sorts of mistakes here.
Admiral: "My frigates are combat ineffective, and the fighters... they don't have enough punch to take out a Covenant assault carrier."
and this one: Marine: "The core defense is too intense. Our grid is matched, I don't
Other then that, ya did pretty good son. A few things I noticed about the trailer: 1)The Earth must be in pretty crappy shape. In the beginning of the first halo, one seriously outdated and outclassed frigate was able to hold its own for quite some time against supieror covenant forces with a handful of fighters and one anti-matter cannon. While it could be argued that the marines there were the best of the best, and the last that Reach had to offer, the stakes in this battle are most certainly a hell of a lot higher. Theres a reason the home team usually wins.. unless we are talking about the Mets. 2) This next installment does not take place directly after the first one ends... after watching the movie, the ship carrying the master chief is obviously a hell of a lot larger then his shrike frighter. He met up with UNSC forces somewhere other then sol system, since the MC is definately not stupid enough to jump there directly. The thing is, I thought Reach was mankinds last military outpost in the galaxy, other then Earth. Wonder if Cortana wrote a new version of 'The hitchhikers guide to the galaxy' while riding around in the MC's skull as he took his sweet time getting home. 3) The covies apparently got the quaradants for Earth somewhere other then the master chief, since he arrives well after the battle has begun, and neither the admiral nor the general consider the MC an active asset in this last ditch battle, or else he would have been leading a full platoon of marines. As keyes knew in the beginning of the first halo, the MC is definately mankinds ace in the hole. So since they didn't follow him there, they must have dug up the info somewhere else while he was enroute. Makes ya wonder if that floating metalic ball of mayhem was finally able to make it to covie teritory putting around at 5 mph. 4) The MC's assault rifle had some sort of asian writing right behind the breach and below the sight (dig the scope.. can we finally zoom the AP rifle?!)I would really like to know what that writing says if someone was bored enough to figure it out. 5) The MC is still short, sweet, and full of green hued whoopass. Brings new meaning to the designation 'Halo Jump' don't it?
