In Response To: Let's Play Halo pt 6—Assault and 343 (VikingBoyBilly)

: Assault on the Control Room
: I would have been your daddy

: What's this level name supposed to mean? Some guy at bungie wanted to get
: into my mom's pants?

its a rare quote by Sergeant Johnson when he calls the Covenant ugly: "I would've been your daddy, but the dog beat me over the fence!" Its was famous enough to get a skull named after it and Halo 2 onward, the skull would make rare dialog common and common dialog rare.

There's the
: marine Scorpion tank, but there's also the covenant tanks to make your
: life hell. Are they called Wraiths? The manual doesn't mention them, but I
: read some conversation about non-PID wraiths here, so that's the name I'm
: assigning them, because Cortana calls them "covenant tanks."

Wraith is right. they start calling it such in Halo 2, in which you can start driving them.
?

: If I had a super weapon...

: ...I'd make somebody pay =)
: If you're fast, you can steal a banshee and take a shortcut to the pyramid
: that is neither Aztec or Mayan (slick design, I must say).

You can fly onto one of the shuttle tower's segments with a banshee and if you stand on the right end of it, you can hear Siege of Madrigal from Myth. I mentioned it before but I thought I'd make sure you knew as you didn't do it in the playthrough.

: Inside the pyramid (the control room is the only room there. No big labyrinth
: with multiple floors, unfortunately) Cortana goes a bit rampanty when she
: creepily talks about the ring the way Durandal gushes about pfhor
: technology.

She also glows green just like Durandal and any rampant defence drones or hostile Pfhor probes. Too subtle, I know. I looked that up in one of the wikis.

: Cortana figures out how teleportation works from the ring's technology and
: wire's up the MC's suit to teleport him into the covenant ship, because
: that's where Keyes is, and he's alive. The covenant are here trying to
: stop the flood from taking the ship and leaving Halo. Hmm... ship control
: glanding, still alive, and zombie parasites. This could be bad.

: Next is Chapter Keyes, the Subtitle is Under New Management (yeah, I'm
: calling them Chapters and Subtitles).

That level is also the harmless Pfhor slime level. you need to throw yourself down a big hole into some, (its a lot shallower in Anniversary) and do a bit of wading in other pools to get to the lift back in. It pulses and oozes in Anniversary but it just slops down and bubbles in the original like the radioactive pfhor slime. Unlike SDMIO, the level is confusing and warped, looking almost nothing like the Truth and Reconciliation.

Near the end of Keyes, (which as I mentioned before is like Sorry don't make it so) you find the Gravemind's fetus on the bridge. It looks a lot more grisly in Anniversary (in the original it looks more like a rotting duck egg) and the nearby Terminal in that version contains a video adaptation of several passages from the game's novelisation, Halo: the Flood.
