Re: Something else I don't like about "Halo 2.0"

In Response To: Re: Something else I don't like about "Halo 2.0" (SonGoharotto)


: Granted, military investment has made for all sorts of beneficial
: technological advances. But even then, we're not in a position to be
: kicking the hornet's nest, which is exactly what Kilo Five is doing
: behind Hood's back .

: (Speaking of whom, Hood strikes me as something of a moderate, so it's not
: like I'd necessarily worry about him being in a position of power.)

As far as The Thursday Wars goes, he's really quite sure that ONI are doing things without his direct knowledge, but he makes a point of not wanting to know the details, so that his sense of honour can be kept intact.
Basically, plausible deniability.

But this does not strictly mean he wants a future of intergalactic co-operation.

Let's not forget his actual words in the Halo 3 ending:
"I remember how this war started. What your kind did to us. I can't forgive you."

The handshake was in relation to the Arbiter fighting alongside John 117 until the 'end', not of friendship between the two.

One of the funny things to come out of the Thursday War is that the Sangheili are generally far more trusting of humans than we are of them.

: I just can't shake the feeling that something has been lost. Some ephemeral
: quality, maybe held over from Bungie's early days of independence. (Like
: the difference between the Star Wars original trilogy and prequels. It's
: tough to nail down the exact reasons why, but everyone knows something
: went wrong.) It bugs me.

That or the fiction was just never going to live up to the speculation and ideas we created on our own.
Halo 2, 3, Reach and 4. They've all had more than their share of criticism, especially the story.
Maybe something has been lost, but maybe it hasn't.
It just wouldn't be right to write it all of as something 343i are solely responsible for, especially in the wake of what Reach did to the established and considering some of the 343i staff being ex-Bungie staff.
