Re: Where on the Halo is Captain Keyes?

In Response To: Where on the Halo is Captain Keyes? (SonGoharotto)


On further thought, I'm inclined to disagree that any ambiguity exists. The question of how Keyes found the "cache" is, of course, never explored in Halo 1. However, looking at the dialogue between TSC and 343GS, I think it's fairly blatantly obvious that Keyes was headed to the swamp.

Basically, paraphrased:

Keyes: Hey I'm headed somewhere. I may be out of contact when I get there.
(Implying he's going somewhere far away, not to your location)

Foe Hammer: We've lost contact with the captain. His ship might be out of range, or suffering equipment problems.
(This signifies that the above transmition was the last transmission with Keyes' ship)

*Much time passes*

Foe Hammer: The last transmission from the Captain's dropship was from this area. That was over 12 hours ago.
(Most likely referencing the transmission from TSC, especially considering that we are given no new information about what he was doing)

At any rate, the only thing you gain from retconning the original game is a Hornet boss battle, which seems unnecessary, like it's bloating a level that was intended to be a quaint morning-esque opener to act 2; AotCR is the grand action. Not to mention, you've lost the awesome pelican tunnel shot with the light from above, which is probably one of the coolest-looking moments in the series.
