[quote]YOU'VE RETURNED TO US![/quote] Not yet. Well, not entirely at the very least. [quote]Though I'm reserved on that idea because I don't find it immediately logical that a war AI created for the sole-purpose of combating another AI would be managing the Forerunner's galactic cartographer.[/quote] Agreed, looks like I've gotta catch up on Escalation first. I still find it incredible how there is literally zero trace of Offensive Bias through post Halo 3 lore. There's always the creeping thought in my mind that he's already had an off screen death due to his lack of presence, but I choose to ignore that. [quote]the Domain is involved and is calling for the Chief, [/quote] Saw that. I do wonder how AI-Didact must be in the grand scheme of things, considering it seems Promethean Soldiers are actively helping Chief into the Domain. [quote]OH. Also, Halo 5's story covers A HUGE span of time. Blue Team goes AWOL in early March 2558 (which gets covered in the game), but it looks like the "present" parts of the game take place in October 2558 or even beyond. [/quote] Rock solid. Seems like we're in for a longer campaign? I wouldn't be surprised given that 343 presumably wants this game to dwarf Halo 4 in every possible way. [quote]It also suggests that Supreme Commander Rho 'Barutamee survived the destruction of the Long Night of Solace and faked his death in the process so he could continue searching for the Forerunner Capitol without being screwed over by the High Council for royally screwing up at Reach. [/quote] YES. Finally, a nice reason to care. But board games? [i]Madness[/i] [quote]How's the Geology/Archaeology going?[/quote] *paleontology It's not, my focus is on muh theoretical math and comp sci. Thanks for the answers, Onyx. Looks like I've got quite a bit to catch up on, when I actually do return that is.
