Lyonpride: tmspartan: sp4rt4n: They never made it to Teir 2 it was Teir 4 the elites and Prophets raised them to teir 2. Guys get YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT BEFORE YOU ARGUE! please this is getting frustrating when i am fighting with people who bring up facts that are not true.
Maybe someone should brush up on their Halo canon before posting? The Jiralhanae reached Tier 2, and through war they destroyed their position on the Technological Achievement Scale and bashed their way back to Tech Level 4. With the assistance of the Prophets they soon became Tech 2 again.
It is said when the covenent first met with the brutes that they were rediscovering RADIO tech.
Radio is far from tier 2.
QUOTED FROM HALOPEDIA:
Tier 4: Space Age
Tier 4 is often the final resting place for species intelligent enough to break free from their cradle's surface only to fill the gulf surrounding it with war. Their comfort-focused technology can include medical advances.
This level is likely to be where Humanity is at the time of the Interplanetary War. This level is also where the Jiralhanae, Kig-Yar and Yanme'e were before joining the Covenant.
The Jiralhanae were ravaged by war, they destroyed their technology during these expansive civil wars and collapsed as a result.
This is why they say they were rediscovering Radio tech, not inventing. The Jiralhanae were Tech 4 because that's the state they were at due to their recent wars.
"Die?"Kurt laughed."Didn't you know?"he told the Elite. "...Spartans never die."
