Re: Totally Hypothetical Bungie Panel (PAX)

In Response To: Re: Totally Hypothetical Bungie Panel (PAX) (urk) : Dave Lieber (I believe) constructed a phonetically-based proto-language : centered around existing English dialog spoken by the Covenant. If you : wanted to translate it Halo and Halo 2 would be good places to begin, : though it would represent a mountain of work. But it could be done. If only I had the time. :( But maybe someone else around here does? : Bonus Answer! At one point, I wanted the UNSC forces at Reach to use phrases : spoken by the Grunts later in the timeline, as if Grunt English was born : purely out of combat. Turned out there weren't enough lines to really sell : the idea without forcing some Troopers to sound foolish ("Kill : you!"), and those that would have worked were either so iconic or so : silly, that they wouldn't have fit well with Reach's tone ("Feet : don't fail me now!"). : Double Bonus Answer! On the subject of language, we also nuked the Mouth : Sounds Skull. It's not really relevant to translating Covenant to English, : but it makes me sad and happy to think about how it could have played out : in game, because UNSC weapons go powpowpow, and Covenant weapons go : pewpewpew. Aww man, that skull would have been hilariously awesome!! BTW, bonus answers make me happy :) - CC
