Re: I suppose...

In Response To: I suppose... (stan) : I guess the (or at least one) point of this game is going to be to illustrate : how exactly the transition from Elite to Brute occurred. But, given the : timeline urk laid out yesterday, it all seems a bit too clean cut. : In the announcement trailer we saw that the ODSTers dropped in right as the : slipstream event destroyed the city and later in that trailer we saw : brutes patrolling the city. Now, we don't know how long our hero ODSTer : was out for, and I'm assuming the game's story will explain how those : Brutes got there. But doesn't it all seem like it's happening a bit fast? : If Regret's death on Nov. 2 (13 days after Regret left) provided Truth the : opportunity to enact his Brute for Elite switcharoo, why are Brutes (and : only Brutes) patrolling New Mombasa (presumably) hours after Regret left? : Yes, urk said that Truth is a careful schemer, and that Regret's : ignominious retreat from Earth allowed him to set things in motion, but he : must have been incredibly well prepared if his Brutes are able to jump to : Earth just hours after that retreat. : Further, even if we accept that Truth had the insertion of the Brutes planned : way in advance (which is reasonable to accept) I have more trouble : believing that every single Elite who might have been in a position to : fight the humans before Regret left Earth, totally changed their : allegiance within a matter of hours. Or are we to think that every single : covenant that was in New Mombasa either died when Regret left, or went : with him? Are we seeing, then, a wholesale switch-out of Old-style covies : (including Elites) for new, Truth-allied covies in a matter of hours? "After the devastation of Regret's jump to slipspace above the city, the ODST was the only survivor of his unit to land, with a 99.99% expected fatality rate (later corrected to 00.52%), showing only battered armor and a 6 hour period of being unconscious to show for it." Thats what Halopedia says at any rate. Retcon
