kylito757: Smile: CAB_IV:  The biggest thing that worries me is the inclusion of structures that look forerunner. This we know is not canon. Of course its canon. It must be canon, because of course everything ES does is within canon, right everybody?   Not like they can't do anything wrong, eh?   Essentially you're ...

Why are we concerned about a triple back flip?  Is that like a secondary action? Quick! use the back flip and they will surrender!  In all seriousness, I'm just worried about the details.   I'm willing to accept any units they invent, simply because despite the huge variety of vehicles and things in the halo games, ...

SpiritofFire983:I don't think the game is following canon but I'm fine with it. It's other people that take it too seriously.  Well, i figure if you're going to make a game based on someone else's idea, at least follow that idea.  When they don't follow canon, it makes me think they just want to ship out a halo ...

Hawki: Lets see...well, I have read some media, namely the five novels, the Halo Graphic Novel, the Art of Halo, the Beastiarium, Conversations from the Universe and the first two issues of Uprising. Is that enough for you? Considering the angle at which the ships are, of course we're not going to see torpedo launchers and those ships may ...

Hawki: CAB-IV: I think the only thing that really has killed me so far as being true to the halo series is that the Covenant ships i've seen in this recent trailer look NOTHING like the other covenant ships. And how many classes of Covenant ship have we actually seen? Cruisers and Carriers follow a streamlined design. But do Spirits and ...

I think the only thing that really has killed me so far as being true to the halo series is that the Covenant ships i've seen in this recent trailer look NOTHING like the other covenant ships.  The whole "X" shaped rear section is just not covenant, at all.  They have that smooth, whale/waterdrop streamlined shape.  ...

Yeah, they are. those worms i think probably extend through the limbs of the scarab.  This is not the first time the "lekgolo" have been used like this.  The lekgolo have had other functions then as hunters from before.  they are used in excavation and recovery because they eat certain metals (I can't find my Contact ...

Morgoth890:Okay this is to to CAB_IV, thats all true,though of course, the Covenant ships sent in pursuit of the Pillar of Autumn might not be built to have it, the Scarab might be more of a big scary, Moral Crushing Invasion Weapon. Now Regarding this thread, the Scarab should have hit points, and it should be vulnerable.  I hear people ...

Sparhawk: Leet_Master:i totally agree, although i might have used stronger language...... I know what you mean... I was very exasperated and irritated at having to explain it again, it took trememdous will-power to with-hold my ... um... testy side. Thanks for agreeing with me.    I'm going to exasperate you even further, ...

Sparhawk: That's Johnson and I doubt the UNSC at that time would know enough about the covenant yet to pilot a scarab. Sparhawk:I doubt he could do it then, remember he achieved that battle in Halo 2 some years after when this game takes place, I don't think any normal soldiers, Spartans alike would know how to pilot it... not when ...
