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" (Bry)


: If you want an answer from a story telling perspective that might make some
: sense, well, it could be possible that having been in a war of survival
: for 30 years, the economy has become completely dominated and even
: dependant by the military and it's requirements.
: That economy can't simply switch back to a peaceful civilian orientated one
: just like that.

You mean the economy that the Covenant had a week to bomb into oblivion?
I wouldn't be surprised if much of what's left of the economy can be devoted to rebuilding.

: Plus, the leaders are themselves military. Lord Hood is the closest thing to
: a head of Government for the UNSC, and he is still Navy. He's going to
: want new ships.

A ship can be used for exploration and salvage just as easily as war. And even if Hood is Navy, he's got to see the logic in not pissing the Elites off.
I'm not talking about sitting down and singing 'kumbaya' with the xenos, but the UNSC could be more defense-oriented.

: We don't know what any original intentions might have been.

Yeah, if we go by Frankie's talk about integrating with the expanded universe, I think that "The Return" spells out some original intentions that are quite different from what 343i is delivering.
