Re: We can rebuild it, we have the technology
Posted By: SonGoharotto <SonGoharotto@gmail.com>Date: 4/24/11 8:09 a.m.

In Response To: Re: We can rebuild it, we have the technology (Quirel)


: In some cases, that would be neat. But there's really no place for this to
: happen, unless Thel just happened to be on the T&R at the wrong time.
: According to the Flood re-issue, he spent a lot of time coordinating the
: exploration of the ring, extermination of the Humans, and fighting with
: the Prophet.

I could think of ways to do it, but then I would probably change a lot in act 3.

: Canonically, the Chief boarded the Truth & Reconciliation twice, going
: through some of the same areas. Canonically, he went through the area
: around the Control Room twice, once to get there and once to destroy some
: nearby communications nodes. Canonically, he went through the same areas
: on the Pillar of Autumn, because he had to get to the Bridge in both
: cases.

: Not a lot of wiggle room.

*cough*Halo: Reach*cough*

Canon can be rewritten.

: I'll pass on the Brutes. People got enough flak for introducing the Brutes
: prior to 2552. Now the line in "First Strike" has been changed
: to "We've never encountered them before", as in "Neither
: the Master Chief nor Cortana have encountered them before".

: That reissue is the only one with "Definitive edition" slapped
: beneath the title. Don't make us go through this again.

I like the novels, but they aren't gospel.

Reach establishes that there were Brute troops deployed by the Fleet of Particular Justice. However, I could see how they might not have been involved in the Battle of Installation 04 if Thel didn't bring them on the handful of ships he took to chase the Pillar of Autumn.

Not saying I definitely want Brutes on Alpha Halo. Just saying, variety is good.

: What the Hell are you going to do with a Hornet inside a Covenant Carrier?

I could say the same for the rest of the motor pool that the Autumn had on board. What use is a Warthog or Scorpion in ship-to-ship combat? I suspect UNSC ships of sufficient size have a standard detachment of terrestrial attack vehicles on board, regardless of mission.

In fact, I would say it makes more sense for the Autumn, given their mission. It would probably be easier to capture a Covenant ship-of-the-line while it is docked groundside, rather than disable one in ship-to-ship combat and expect to keep it in decent condition.

: Hey, 343i? This suggestion is a short step down the dark road toward piloted
: mechs. Feel free to flee in the opposite direction.

Oh, don't be so dramatic. The Shade turret already looks like it's supposed to walk and there's a precedent for such methods of locomotion among Covenant vehicles.

Besides, we already know the UNSC was experimenting with humanoid mecha and they weren't practical for combat. The only one that showed any promise went kablooey in Prototype. I suppose ONI could have funded redundant projects, but I don't see a place for such things in Halo. They already have Spartans to fill that role, wouldn't you say?

What, no comment on my idea for replacing the Armor Abilities mechanic? I thought that was particularly inspired...
