In Response To: Rants about Halo's story (Spoilers) (Alfred Mordeir) Every mission has a purpose, or was forced according to objectives that need to have been done. Honestly, the only way you can make speculations about something being "so obvious" is after playing it. Hindsight is 20/20, and I doubt you could see the plot twists coming while you were playing. Getting the Index for nothing? Well, you didn't know it was for "nothing" until Cortana stops you from making a very huge mistake. Also, if Cortana and the Master Chief have the Index, then the Monitor can't activate Halo...so if we have it, the Monitor can't sucker someone else into activating Halo. Now, you say that the Monitor can activate without the Index...but my thoughts are that it is a very long process, or the Monitor can't do it at all. A bit of thought makes me wonder where the Monitor goes after the beginning video sequence in Two Betrayals - maybe to start trying to activate Halo. Regardless, everything in this game has a purpose, and the storyline is phenominal, actually...looking at things at face value, then claiming the missions are repetitively useless towards the storyline is very far fetched. How would you know something until it's too late? Oh yea, that's right...you already know, that's why you're allowed to criticize how obvious it was. That's like seeing a movie one time, then going back to see it again only to criticize that many of the major twists and backstabs are very obvious, whereas they were not obvious the first time around. =P -Xcruiser | |
