Loxbourne posted:This reminds me of an interesting aside. During the Halo 2 and 3 pre-release ARG campaigns, a lot of the "players" were ARG fans rather than Halo ones. The Halo fans who did play along had to give out potted briefings on the lore, setting, and core themes of the series (including the older Bungie games in case they came up). I remember posts on the internal forums explaining what an AI even was. For a good while no one was sure if ilovebees was even related to Halo, until it became extremely obvious it was

It's a combo of her shields still being out not being well telegraphed combined with Bungie originally wanting her to get sniped but not actually putting a Covenant sniper unit in Reach that makes it a little awkward

Additional fun facts about the end: If you look right as the Pillar of Autumn launches, you can find Master Chief in the hushed casket on the side. Doing so in MCC unlocks the achievement "Collection Eligibility Confirmed" Also, Reach names its checkpoints Rally Point Alpha, Bravo, etc. Lone Wolf only has Rally Point Omega It came up if the ending was controversial back when Reach came out - not really though some people complained. Everyone knew how the story ends/begins, though a few were still annoyed at the whole theme of the game and felt it wasn't fun they do almost nothing but lose despite that and the game presenting you as winning small victories that build up

Iirc its come up before and they said it'd be a colossal pain in the rear end to port to MCC, more than the others, due to its code base. Its forge mode and custom games got a Windows port and was kind of busted though.

Halo 3 was meant to be the end of it and in itself meant to end on a loop; Reach was a love letter Bungie originally didn't want to make. Master Chief goes back into cryo sleep and is woken when you need him. It did still tease a little bit though, like the Forerunner/Marathon planet in the legendary ending cutscene. The setting itself is set up to keep going with this or that but Halo 4 has to retcon a lot to make things go. When Chief says "It's finished," he means it. Halo 3 had a little companion app/guide thing come out at the same time with the state of the galaxy at the end of it and a little encylopedia of all the Covenant races and how they're doing. Humanity was reduced down to 100 million people at the end of Halo 3. Earth was almost entirely obliterated along with its colonies. The UNSC fleet was reduced to exactly one half of a frigate. Keep that in mind for Halo 4. RBA Starblade fucked around with this message at 02:46 on Feb 6, 2024 |

FrenzyTheKillbot posted:As for the Covenant and its various member species, yeah it's complicated. Almost all of the Prophets would have been on High Charity, so they're effectively extinct, although there's probably a few survivors out there. Lots of the remaining peoples just went back to their home planet to figure out what to do now, but there's a bunch of remnant factions and aimless fleets out causing trouble. I don't know if it's still up or preserved anywhere - it was a 360 app thing back when companion apps were popular.

I had never heard of Minotaur; that's radquote:The game's tagline was "Kill your enemies. Kill your friends' enemies. Kill your friends". This tagline has reappeared as a description in the multiplayer menu screens for some of Bungie's other games, such as Myth: The Fallen Lords and Halo 3.
