@hellspartan94@NWBroJaneway In the naval battle cutscene it's only his capital ship attacking the Spirit, why would the *capital ship* be the one engaging the Spirit if it wasn't the only one? Even with overwhelming odds, you get your fleet to do that lmfao, the game slaps you across the face with this info
@hellspartan94@NWBroJaneway They. Literally attack it because it's his only ship. Pretty sure in dialogue they outright tell you they came in just his capital ship. It was a personal mission Atriox himself took. You're fucking dumb guy, it's not an assumption lmfao
@hellspartan94@NWBroJaneway The polar opposite to Atriox. We destroy his one and only means of slipspace travel, stranding him on the Ark with the Spirit. And then bam, he's on the Infinity destroying it and taking over a fucking Halo ring.
@hellspartan94@NWBroJaneway None of that is required reading, and at the time there was literally no details on the Longsword for you the player to even know he "couldn't* make it to Earth. He got on a ship, escaped the Ring. The very clear assumption is he got back to Human controlled space.
@Killdust99@TheGamingDoge0@WiggerMaggot Except 3 didn't leave it ambiguous, 3 separate characters point blank state the connection. Mendicant Bias in Contact Harvest *literally* rocks the Prophets world with the revelation of Humans are Forerunner. And the terminals only imply Forerunners were evolved Humans.
@32nds@jungle_penguins@capnkaba It's a pretty smart way of doing it, sorta generational beat for the big mean green machines. Iteration in style meant a new generation of soldier to go with it
@halo2mappack@reidhslaughter Usage is not a requirement for grounded. 7.62 NATO bullpups exist, so Halo having one itself is not fantastical or unrealistic.
@appalachia69420@hellspartan94@NWBroJaneway Yeah the accidental part is pure unfiltered dogshit. It implies complete incompetence on not only the Covenant, but the Arbiters fleet, one of the most feared and thorough fleets.
@appalachia69420@hellspartan94@NWBroJaneway That book is also just, what the fuck. How the fuck is there a *portal to the Ark* on Reach? And the Covenant never found it in all their time spent glassing the entire planet. It completely ruins the entire story of the original trilogy cause they just win after Reach lol
@Forcer69 Dude's going to be chasing for even a fraction of the high he received from Destiny, what an absolutely tragic time for him to have hopped on to the game
@halo2mappack@Evil_Maxxing Bungie era UNSC is very grounded visually. Your subjective opinion on grounded does not supersede the actual meaning of the word.
@hellspartan94@NWBroJaneway Except we literally destroy Atriox's capital ship in Halo Wars 2. He physically could not go anywhere because we used Sentinels to saw the ship apart. The Ark is on the edge of the system, he's not flying back to known space in a fucking phantom.
