Yeah.....

I thought the best part was when the
Covenant Corvette destroyed the orbital elevator
. I immediately thought, "It's raining people!"

That part was awesome. Cant wait till next episode.

I thought the Didact was dead from the activation of the Halo arrays?

And what ever was scanning the chief, we know its forerunner made, but I don't think it's actually forerunner. Maybe it's the forerunners versions of droids from Star Wars?

343i is probably saving the introduction actual forerunners into Halo 4, (if they are in it), as a secret. After all, we don't want to know everything before the game do we?

So pumped for this game though. November 6 is going to be a day just dedicated to Halo.

Did you see the crest at the end of the trailer? That's the Didact's emblem. And it has been confirmed multiple times that the Didact, the actual Forerunner military leader, is going to be in the game. That's Bornstellar's body with the Didact's consciousness implanted in it.

Considering that the Didact rests along the lines of a God of War, yes. That is fucking terrifying.

Of course, you have to be playing it on heroic or legendary first.

For shame, try doing it on Legendary, not a single one made it for me. Not even the insane guy crying in the corner, although i did burn him alive with a flamethrower. (But he doesnt count)

Oddly, the part in the warehouse where any surviving Marines hold positions, all you need do is push them up the stairs further along and they'll follow you for the rest of the mission. Same thing happens on the Reach level Tip of the Spear at the part where you kill the Zealot; push them off the ledge and they'll follow you too.

Excuse me, sir. Seeing as how the V.P. is such a V.I.P., shouldn't we keep the P.C. on the Q.T.? 'Cause if it leaks to the V.C. he could end up M.I.A., and then we'd all be put out in K.P.

Only with the Famine skull turned on. Otherwise, it's not really much fun to have them turn on you. Especially on legendary.

Or when you shoot Keyes.

Fricking hilarious every time. But seriously, yeah it isnt that great when they turn on you, they can be quite helpful sometimes, such as sniping and close quarters fights against weaker covie units such as grunts and jackals.

Nope. He is the one who says:"I have long dreamt of this day, Reclaimer."(pardon any typos or mistakes, haven't seen this trailer for a while."

Impossible, it was on a forerunner shield world, and it couldn't be Covenant neither Human.

It's pretty easy to make them not shoot at you. Just pop one every now-and-then and they don't turn. Only when you kill three in a row and not instantly do they turn. For example, if you blow up a warthog by accident, they ignore it, but when you pop three in a row with the BR, they open fire. Otherwise they just yell in protest.

I would kill the civies for simply being annoying if it didn't automatically kill me. I just like ODST's because they're ODST's. Civilians can go fuck themselves, or in this case, jump off a building and get out of my way.
