@Anthony_S026 Weird how it’s basically capable of doing everything you’d want in a Halo game by just being built off of Reach, while historically offering the least amount of game modes in a halo game.
@Garbear0II9 Knowing now that Terminals depicts them as some kind of human, and that the veracity of terminals first coming into question in one of 343is first books, I think the anime Forerunners ends up working for both canons.
Cortana is definitely picturing them as human for a reason
@Garbear0II9 It seems like Halo Legends was made as a final send off to the original lore since around this time they began development of Starlight Runner story Bible where new saga was developed.
DVD commentary O’Connor mentions how Cortana is only going off what she thinks to be true
@shrimp_rider@meloneslada And TBF again, I don’t think Bungie should be included in the “yall “ because it’s present in their entire run with Halo and never got retconned under them.
@shrimp_rider@meloneslada TBF it is entirely narratively present, from the beginning and explains a number of things like:
>why can reclaimers use the tech
>why do Covenant hate us
>where are the Forerunner today
>why is Ark on earth
It never got the chance to be more because they retconned it for Halo4
@JAGtheJager alright buster, I’m really really sorry. Didn’t mean to offend, no shame in being young.
I just felt like you were being incredibly hard headed and I remain unconvinced by your argument of just being dismissive about literally everything.
I enjoyed our discussion, peace ✌️
@JAGtheJager Sorry if I struck a nerve there.
You were just arguing that Bungie scripts need to be simple enough so even a child could piece the whole Forerunner mystery together , and I just assumed you WERE a child between the releases of H3 and H4 since that’s like your main hang up
@JAGtheJager The rule of cool? I guess. I mean I certainly think it’s cool to reveal we are the children of Forerunners through cryptic audio.
Nothing about this reveal and how they do it is arbitrary and meaningless. You’re just waffling now 😑
@JAGtheJager It DID move on to Halo3. You’re just being obtuse.
It evolved from Spark revealing the truth to Arbiter, to Spark turning against 117 & revealing the truth to him .
Truth revealing the same information to Johnson wasn’t even in H2 script- they actively added it to h3
@JAGtheJager Not acting like a child, just asking you to be objective and engage with the in game lore that’s actually there because you keep saying there’s nothing to it.
Why would they go through all the trouble of making cryptic audio greeting Chief as child after confirming his lineage?
@JAGtheJager Like it genuinely seems like you’re just trying to make the case that because Bungie didnt dumb it down for you and parade a forerunner on screen, 343i is perfectly allowed and in the right to retcon terminals and redefine Forerunners with books
@NomadicAllo@grifballmvp I don’t think I’ve heard anyone say this borderline non-canon game project would be any better than the borderline non canon multimedia project by 343i
People only talking about it because it confirms H=F plot line is so prevalent that it bled its way into planned halo spinoffs
@Mikearice@shrimp_rider Kind of splitting hairs here. I like how the terminals handled it but the distinction and uniqueness is still lost on the detractors. Even that story is wrongly considered “a trope”
Just can’t do it with the media “literate” crowd anymore
@JAGtheJager He released music without permission so we can’t trust anything he said about Halo?
Not beating the being a child allegations. What’s your response to his father greeting you as “child” after the terminals confirm your lineage?
Is his father also untrustworthy? 🤦♂️
@JAGtheJager This is the obvious evidence to back up what Truth, Gravemind, and Spark all said.
Without H=F, their dialogue is all meaningless gobbledygook- and without their dialogue, Chief being a reclaimer just goes entirely unexplained.
No evidence for the contrary. It’s in the game
