I'll use this thread to say...

WTF?

Tiny squids...nonhuman, noncovie, supposedly nonflood, nonforerunner.
Spooky.

Ehh...I could only see "making of halo 2", not the other ones. I don't have a DVD remote so I can't move up and down on menus. :/

They had other indigenous creatures planned, but those were axed.

But if microsoft is already giving you those... should it not be expected they have something as basic as DVD playback without having to buy something else?

Or atleast give you the option of using the controller with the remote making it much easier to control a DVD... (lets face it... PS2's controller interface for DVDs is crap).

BUGGER · 2004-11-21, 11:28 PM

The otehr characters that they wanted to put in the game would've been crap though, the Buggers and the Brutes are enough just because they are just a specail unit.....dunno how would the buggers fit in cause the Brutes have a story but still...you have that big boulder looking guy as a boss or something then the game turns into Metriod.

.....anyone play Metriod Echos yet?

And Gravemind (to confirm it cause someone said they only read about it i think) is its actual name because Cortana calls it that plus a level is named after him. And he is flood because the Arbitor called him "Paracite" which explains why Prophet of Regret was talking and why the other lightbulb still works which is why he can do a lot of other stuff that others have already said.....but yeah i'd like to show off what i figured out because thats what i've figured out this week from not listening ot anyone else about the game.....i feel specail.

Now I gotta question. Why does Gravemind not want Halo to be used? He wants it to be stopped lets Key's use himself to let her get the index. But then i was just playing and Cortana says stuff about how Gravemind distracted so the flood can spread (since he is flood).....i have to listen to this again. Its at the beginning of the level when you're at the Higharchy (eh) when the flood enter the city and just when a Pelican lets off a few more flood.

I'm not going through 9 pages of information but I caught one interesting tidbit when watching the opening cutscene to Gravemind. Gravemind mentions that the Forerunner knew what they were doing.

If grave mind is indeed flood he wouldn't want Halo to be used for the reason that Halo is supposed to eliminate all life large enough to sustain the flood parasite... The flood used In Amber Clad to land on High Charity for the fact that its the covenant population center... tons of hosts and more importantly a slipspace matrix.

BUGGER · 2004-11-22, 08:08 PM

True but why did he let Maranda get the index in the first place, and even let her use him to reach for the Index? Hell they're going to destroy halo with In Amber Clad if the flood gets too out of control anyways, so Gravemind is screwed unless he teleports himself somewhere else.

btw how the hell did Gravemind get himself in the big mess of robots when Maranda gets the index? Its kinda looney/funny.
