Re: Halo [R]Evolved - Two Betrayals

In Response To: Re: Halo [R]Evolved - Two Betrayals (SonGoharotto) : In Reach, it makes perfect sense because they have no interest in parlay. : Reach is a target and they will destroy it, period. But in H:CE, they have : good reason to be interested in what humans know about Halo. (I like to : think this also softens the shock when suddenly everyone is speaking : English in H2.) : In the original game, Keyes says he overheard guards mention Halo. Even : Grunts, who understand more English than most, wouldn't talk amongst : themselves in the enemy's tongue. : I deliberately changed this to him being interrogated by Supreme-Commander : Thel 'Vadamee. This way, you can now expect that Covies at least : understand us. : Zuka spits out "Heresy!" for the same reason the Covenent : originally warned us that our "destruction is the will of the : gods." He wants it understood that he will not allow the humans to : carry out their plan. : Zuka has already forsaken all semblance of honor in pursuit of revenge. On : SC, he allowed his own people to be killed inside the security substation : so he could spring a trap when "The Demon" would be cornered. He : also fled from battle rather than seeking a glorious death. : Ideally, this could be explored further in some Campaign DLC. In fact, I : think I'd like to script that out too... : When the defense of Alpha Base was going to be playable, a wave of Flood was : going to attack from outside on captured Covenant vehicles. This would : then justify Zuka taking off in a Ghost or Banshee, which is harder to : hit. : Changing it to MC showing up after the fact, I wasn't sure if I could get : away with just having Covie vehicles lying around. : They do shoot at him, I say as much. Perhaps the only thing that isn't clear : is the layout of Alpha Base and just how much wreckage is strewn about. : It's not easy to get a bead on him. : Besides, the Marines just got done defending themselves from an onslaught of : Flood. Even if ammo weren't scarce, who would be using a Sniper Rifle? : They've been fighting in close-quarters. : A good point. I'll take it into consideration. If I do script some : Zuka-centric DLC, this segment may change as a result in the final : version. What about Covenant language translation software the UNSC has possessed since 2535 (10 years into the war)? I direct you to the first page of the Prologue of The Fall of Reach.
