lol, nice work. Anyway..Im trying to get my hands on the halo books so i can get backround info on stuff..And is it true the sparton comes form there very own planet?(but not iwth all the armor) and the humans took them off and used them for military? I read this in one of the halo books..

 

to who ever made the halo 2 magnum.....thats really cool!!Any one here have somthing like that magnum drawing except the "Halo 2" logo cuz i was trying to make it but it didnt really come out that well....thanx and if u do have the halo 2 logo or know a site that has it like the way the magnum was drawn then post it here..thanx

 

dude...ya'll have way too much free time to be makin drawings like that. You should be playing halo 2 instead.....

 

Hey in response to the Spartans being from another planet. This is true, but they are regular humans just on a different planet (the setting is way in the future so obviously we have inhabited other planets). But what happend was that Captain Keyes (wasnt captain at the time) but he and Dr. Hasley (I think thats her name, she is what Cortana was based from) but anyways, they go to a planet and go to this orphanage. They see John (Spartan 117 a.k.a Master Chief) with a bunch of kids playing King of the Hill and obviously John is dominating. They are intreiged by his amazing strength and agility so they take him in along with a select hundred or so of other kids, around the age of 7 or 8. Basically they kidnap them. But then they enhance their bodies to improve their bone strength, muscle capacity, agility, speed, basically they make the humans into super humans and are put through testings along with training. The trainees (not yet called spartans because they dont have the Mark 5 armor yet), dont get their armor unitll Johnson and Dr. Hasley think they are ready to handle the armor. They tried testing the Mark 5 armor on regular humans with out any enhancements, and it resulted in a bad experiement. The human broke all his bones when trying to move an arm, his reflexes were not fast or even close enough to deal with reaction of the Mark 5 armor. That is why they needed to "obduct" kids to train for first so that they will be able to sustain the power of the Mark 5 armor. Even with all that training and experimentation, lots of the trainees were killed or injured severely. So about half of the trainees actually became Spartans. And when they first meet the covenant, lots of the Spartans are killed after a few battles because the covenant find that the Spartans can hinder their "great journey" I need to go but will type up more info about the background.

 

wtf??where did u hear that ??? or read it??

 

It was in the Halo books. I think that part specifically was from The Fall of Reach.

 

wow cool.

 

so, im covinced that halo is biblical, along with many others. i cant figure out who The Arbitor is supposed to be. i think u guys need to read some of my previous writings o this forum and tell me wut u think. my favorite is... well all of y long ones. read and tell me wut u guys think.PEACE

 

ne one wanna play online with me 2night in halo 2. let me no.

 

Yay, if you havent read any of the Halo books, then you should, because then things make more sense and they explain SO much more than what the cames have. For instance, all of what I said in my previes post, it was about The Fall of Reach (hence the name of the first book). In Halo 1, they only briefly talk about Reach, Cortana mentions that they just jumped from Reach and were followed. So yeah, read the books to find more information and also so you can understand certain things as well. They really do help. On another note, I do believe that Halo is biblical. I mean the Covenant are religious (very religious) but there are certain things that if you pay carefull attention to ,especially in Halo 1, certain things that happen like in cinimatics and writting on the walls when you are on Halo.

 

totally. this is my favorite quote.

i watched gladiator yesterday and listen to this

Well, I caught something then that I hadn't before. Maximus said something about if your riding in a green field, you're in Elysium, and you're already dead. That rang a bell.

John apparently grew up in Elysium City. Upon looking this up on the internet, Elysium was a paradise where some Greek heroes were believed to go after death. Combine this with the fact that the project name is Spartan.... definitely some mythological stuff there. Except instead of Elysium being where he dies, it is where he is born...

and how bout this.

I mean come on Guys, Spartan 117. If u read john 1:17,
(and mcs name used to be John 117, Hmmmm,) In "The Revelation of St. John the Divine": Chapter 1: Verse 17: (revelation 1:17) -> "And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last:
(verse 18 - 20 also seemed applicable)
-> 18: I am he that liveth, and was dead; and behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.
-> 19: Write the things which thou hast seen and things which are, and things which shall be hereafter; (well maybe not 19, )
-> 20: The myster of the seven stars which thou sawest in my right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches: and the seven candlesticks which thou sawest are the seven churches.

I know I'm reaching, but I still thought the 17 and 18 verse powerful and seemed to appeal to the spirit of the character.

Postscript: I'm by no means a scholar of religion so hopefully you will understand if I seem clueless.

or this.

When I beat Halo the first time, something odd struck me about 343 Guilty Spark's speech. When Cortana points out its manipulation of the Master Chief into nearly destroying the sentient population of the galaxy, 343 says something to the effect of "When you did it the last time, you asked me if I would do it if I were in your position. I have had many years to think on this question, and my answer is still yes." (I'm sorry that I don't have the exact quote, but I am sure many of you will know what I am talking about.) This may mean that 343 has seen a Mjolnir suit before, possibly tying in with Durandal's exploits with his pet super-soldier, who incidentally also wears a suit of Mjolnir armor...
On that note, do we even know the extent of Durandal's exploration?When you hear the word Forerunner mentioned in the game, is it plural, as in reference to a forerunner race of sentient beings, or is it singular, a title of awe and power for a single entity? From what I have read of the Marathon lore, I have come to believe that Durandal made it to the end of the Universe, reaching some kind of Omega Point, where all information, time, space, matter, etc., became one. Should this be the case, and should Durandal have survived partially intact, he might have launched himself to the beginning of time, and continued with his mischief. At the end of Marathon Infinity, I believe, Durandal ordered his pet soldier to destroy a sun, causing mass destruction. He has an affinity for mass destruction as far as solving large problems. I suppose the cleansing of an entire galaxy of sentient life wouldn't be too large a moral stretch for him.
Aside from that, the precursor race to the S'Pht seem to have had some serious technology as far as manipulating energy and space. I suppose that their leaving the S'Pht world might have taken them to a place where they would eventually be able to create a device such as Halo. Due to the nature of the device, however, I believe that it would have taken extreme personal peril to cause such a race to create and eventually use the weapon. Perhaps it was that they were at first immune, or had caused the creation of the Flood, so that they felt responsible for its release. Perhaps they were ready to leave the galaxy and move off into a far space to pursue their own agendas, and the Flood have been a tool of theirs which could not have been allowed to run unchecked, but they were unable to effectively cleanse the worlds it had touched, but still left their amassed data and the samples of Flood behind in order to perhaps return to them one day. On a more sinister note, if the Forerunners, assuming they are a race, had planned on returning, would they really want company in what could potentially be their own private galaxy? The Halo-like devices would be an effective tool for freeing up some real estate for their return...
i think im farely creative

 

SO YEAH. in ur face non-believers

 

how do we check our online ranking at Bungie.net

 

I agree with you 100% Todd (or whatever your Nickname is my bad). I also believe that the forerunners ( if they were a race), possibly made the flood as an army at first, seeing as they could create them so quickly and so fast, and use the small flood to attach onto their dead fallen enemies and basically have them under their control, and maybe the flood got TOO powerful and their army got TOO big and so they exiled them to Halo as punishment but also to make sure that no one activates Halo. And if the flood ever got off Halo they would use Halo to destroy all that the Flood feed off of. I dont know thats kinda my thought for the purpose of the flood, more as for soldiers in an army.

 

i dont think that Cortana will betray MC because she was designed to protect him and shes pretty much in love with him.

 

Yeah I belive you 100% Trk..So if the spartons are were human beings like us, why didnt they just simply take kids from earth and turn them into spartons? And for the person that said i had to much time on my hands for drawing the magnum, i copyyed and pasted it......lol


gamertag~~~~~Neo7333 (same as my nick)

 

Well the reason why they didnt take away kids from orphanages from earth was because at the time earth was too far away (from trying to hide the location of earth), also, not many people cared or even knew about the kids on this planet, so it wouldnt have made much of a difference if the child had died during the experiementation.
