elites are called elites for a reason the covanant most highly skilled warriors why do u think covanant won most of their battles when the elites were around sour brain thinkin to much?
that might just be cos they scaled down the A.I. for halo 3 from halo 2 so that they could have space to improve the graphics, either way I'm sure we'll be fighting the shark men again come Halo Reach
This is also my favorite cutscene, followed right after by "This is the hour" cutscene where the portal to The Ark opens in New Mombasa... Both scenes deliver amazing music, all thanks to Marty O'Donnel.
FortitudeOfHeaven said earlier something about those secrets of the "ark". I agree, it would take literally thousands of years from humankind to uncover the secrets buried in Installation 00. Just by thinking how long it would take only to explore every corner of that enormous Installation...
at 1:04 in the top right hand side you see the human ship barely, and the HUGE covenant ship, no wonder the UNSC got their asses kicked right back to earth!
The UNSC ship is a frigate, which is primarily designed to escort and support larger ships. And the Assault Carrier is one of the Covenant's largest ships. The Pillar of Autumn was considered a "small" ship, but it's enormous, really. And it's easily dozens of times bigger than a frigate.
At 1:10 look at the Ark's surface just under the Covenant ship (lower right), doesn't those geometric formations look like a city? If the Ark is supposed to be a safe place for some time, shouldn't it have cities built on it or structures for living so anyone on it would be able to survive?
There's so many secrets on the Ark that we never got to see besides the Terminals. Like the planet core of the Ark, relics, remains of the Forerunner (a mausoleum, museum, or something)...
Chief doesn't like sitting down inside a transport. Maybe the reason why all the guys in the craft died in the first mission of Halo 1 is that when they crashed, he accidentally hit all of them.
The Elite fleet was completely destroyed with only the Shadow of Intent surviving (probably because it's the biggest of them all). Unless there are others in orbit we didn't see or they turned back.
Really makes you think if something like this is ot there, huh?
Anyways, probably one of my favorite cutscenes. The music fits perfectly with the dramatics. Can you imagine how it will feel to be hurtling straight down towards an alien construct at thousands of kilometers per hour? Pretty kick ASS I say.
Even though the Covenant Loyalists are my favourite people, They must have horrible tactical skills to be beaten by a fleet that they outnumberd 3-1. But then again Brutes are idiots so it makes sense.
I geus it's because the dawn is stil moving forward at highspeed.. and the pelican probaly braked before decending.. making it look like flying so weird..
the ships master lost his mouthpice in the graphic novel extention to the game where he first fights the flood thats also why in halo 2 why the smell of the flood is fimilar to him.
dude, good choice... hand down my favourite cutscene! The music is too incredible... just got a torrent of the soundtrack today, and this piece doesn't seem to be on it but hopefully the official real version will have it eh??
