Re: We can rebuild it, we have the technology

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


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

Then why bother?

: *cough*Halo: Reach*cough*

: Canon can be rewritten.

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

Well, that's it then. If the novels aren't as gospel as the games, then forget it. I'm not buying any more, and I no longer dream of writing for Halo. We've just become the Star Wars EU, where none of the writers read what's come before, any old thing will get published so long as it sells, and Lucas the Hutt declares it all to be non-canon.

Inconsistencies? Nah. If it's big enough for us to care about, then it's not so big that a sweeping retcon can't put things right.

Canon can be rewritten? Then count me out. One of the things that led me to the Haloverse, an expanded backstory with a dash of mystery. You know, something that was written for a reason, and which is going to be built upon in the future.

If that ain't true, good bye.

: 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.

Flood on Reach would've been good for variety too.

: 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.

It's a stubby little tripod. That's going to be one hell of an awkward gait.

: 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?

Ok.
You just hit my berserk button.
Back on the HWF, during the whole Cyclops Fiasco, somebody was posting inane reasons to justify the existence of the Cyclops (before we even knew what role it had) and the one that send me into a rage was "you won't always have Spartans to do the job for you."

Can we, please, as a community, just quit thinking that the UNSC can't get anything done without Spartan II supersoldiers or the superweapon of the day?

The fewer superweapon prototypes and Mechs that make it into Halo Canon, the happier I'll be.

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

Nah. I've always said that Sprint and Bubble Shield would make certain areas in Halo: CE (like the Library) more bearable, and I miss the overshields and cloaking from the first game. Your idea of using them as equipment would work, I guess, but nothing too new.

For those who don't want to sleep tonight...
