isn't there still spartans alive on a planet I thought was reach but which one? I've only read the fall of reach but i coulda swore i read about a spartan team MIA somewhere. Well i'm not sure if I'll automatically assume it's a prequel only because it's TOO obvious. I'd like to believe they're actually planning something surprising but hey it's bungie. Probably will be a prequel.
...WHAT?Quote:

Oh man tough guy on the internet!!!
Generally speaking, spaceships are for flying in space. But hey, like I said earlier, Halo constantly contradicts it'self. The books say one thing, the games say other. So why are you trying to argue when there's not even an answer?
Yet, you're trying to throw my whole theory out on the basis "ships can fly in atmosphere," when you haven't even bothered to address any of my other points.
This thread is for E32009, if you want to continue this make another thread or we can take this over PMs, rather than derail this thread..
The books, none of it has EVER SAID that ships CANNOT FLY IN-ATMOSPHERE. The ONLY thing that has EVER been said about the Halo universe's ships is that they cannot JUMP in-atmosphere FOR SAFETY REASONS. THAT IS IT.Quote:

... they already said Reach takes place during the Battle of Reach on the planet Reach. They even specifically mentioned "oh, yeah, that happens before Combat Evolved." just in case you forgot.Quote:

e: In Halo 2 and Halo 3 they flew a bunch of ships in-atmosphere, and they talk about doing it quite a bit in the books.
Didn't that pre-halo 3 release video like Arms race or something show a POA-like ship flying in-atmosphere?Quote:

Masters, you have (yet again) been proven wrong on all accounts. Do you have the fucking balls to admit it? DO YOU?
Hey, can we either move this flamewar to the Halo: Reach thread or just delete it? This is getting annoying (again).
On the thread's topic, I noticed there was a lot of stuff about the New Super Mario Bros., but not about Mario Galaxy 2. Didn't they have a demo for both?

Jeeze guys, I already admitted I was wrong, as Jean obviously proved I was mistaken.Quote:

SHUT THE FUCK UP ALL OF YOU
If you all continue to argue I will ban all of you, except Masters, becuase he'd find some way to martyr himself with it and I'd be forced to deal with an even bigger increase in his ego.
bu-bu-bu-bu-but if I admit I was wrong how will my ego ever be the same?
well atticus i didn't go off meanin' all kinds of offense, jem just seemed to be off galavantin'Quote:

This is Bungie we're talking about here. They don't make realistic humans.Quote:

Yeah, they seriously need to fix the animation and character's look.Quote:

Could be that the cutscene sequences are incomplete / just rough draft.
Unlikely. During the Bungie podcast, they were saying that ODST is pretty much final except for looking for bugs.Quote:

Personally, I think that would be fucking awesome.
In the books, iirc, the surviving Spartans were all rescued before the events in Halo 2.
While that may be true, this was never talked about in the games, and if they were, wouldn't they have been in halo 2? It could still be possible, as it would still fit with the storyline of the games, but not the books.
Yeah don't they all end up on onyx or something like that? i havent read them in years.
Personally, I doubt Bungie would go against what happens in the books. That would annoy a lot of fans, and potentially the authors.Quote:
