In Response To: Re: The Library, Combat Forms, and IAC (mrbananas) : the covenant may not have known. there are always possiblitys. They have a huge-ass fleet right there, literally within line of sight of the Library. You'd think that they would be able to see things like a giant glowing shield. : now i have to disagree with you there. all the equipment you mentioned. thats : all standard surival gear. marines always carry that such in there : backpack in case they get lost during battle. also the pelcian would : always carry that such in case it ever crashed. when marines go to battle : being able to fight the enemy isn't going to keep you alive from the : elements. what are they going to eat bullets, floodlings? and how are they : going to cook it or boil water. last i recall, med paks don't make very : good weapons either but they still bring them. I wouldn't argue if those were in survival packs, but those are inside transport crates, the kind you see in the Cairo. Last time I checked, most Marines didn't pack extra helmets in their backpacks. That room was saved for medical gear and for ammunition and MREs. I seriosuly doubt that a Marine would waste valuable space for extra boots. Maybe body armor, but boots? Nah. Most of the time a Marine goes into combat with only the gear he needs, and leaves the rest of his extra gear back at base or on his ship with his seabag. Also, if the Marines were going in with food, they would pack MREs, not bring along a big huge massive crate filled with a portable heating unit, not to mention numerous ones. And again, this is a short-term assault mission, not a long-term stay. Portable heating units like that are for semi-permenant base camps, not for a short assault mission like this one. Again, I never saw any of those during the course of Delta Halo/Regret. In addition, the equipment supply crates can be found inside the Sentinel Wall, at the beginning of the Flood infested area that mimicks the first halls in Sacred Icon. I doubt a Pelican dropped that stuff there. : well now the pelican can be halfway into the snow cause it crashed, that will : bury it some and then it depends on how hard it is snowing. an that : pelican is near the end of the level (unless i am think if a different : pelican) I looked like it had landed normally, not crashed. If it had crashed there would have been damages. But it looks relatively unscatched, and the snow around it is fairly even, indicating that it built up around the ship as opposed to the ship slamming into it. : if i recall, at one point didn't the miranda say that the covenant were : getting nosy and she had to hid. this could of been when she was waiting : out side the shield wall before the first wave of covies arrive. when the : covies got there she had to fly the ship off in away while leaving behind : some marines. before she comes back the shield is lowered and the marines : head in alone to make sure the covenant get there first since they just : opened the shield. as soon as the unexpirenced marines rush in, a couple : plattoons get ambushed. they get abushed by flood (remember known of them : have seen flood before and i don't think miranda had time to brief every : one.) these marines become the very first flood we see. as soon as the : shield was down the covenant probibly dropped troops in too who were : quickly over come. in amber clad probibly begins heading back now while : marines are still advancing, they only get as far as the near end of the : level. now that in amber clad is here, it sends out pelican to retrive the : missing marines and they probiliby hot drop some equipment for the : marines. unfortunatly some of the pelicans get shot down and crash. This is, of course, based entirely of speculation that the Marines already dropped the shield before the fleet arrived. I can't really refute this, as there is no evidence it didn't happen, but then again, there is no evidence it did.
