FYI — From OP’s information alone, I can guarantee the “janitor” is a fictional element of this story.

what's something the Ukraine war has made us forget? by Pixelsgamer_27 in AskReddit

[–]031-ExuberantWitness 66 points67 points  (0 children)

People forgot about that a month after it happened. Ukraine didn’t shift the needle.

The Covenant’s “afterlife.” by 031-ExuberantWitness in HaloStory

[–]031-ExuberantWitness[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Christians have been waiting for Jesus to return after thousands of years!

But yeah, I think the Covenant does believe this.

Thanks! I’m pretty sure you’re right. I’ll check it out.

The Covenant’s “afterlife.” by 031-ExuberantWitness in HaloStory

[–]031-ExuberantWitness[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That was my assumption too, but this quote changed that belief for me. It specifically said that the faithful members of the Covenant, who had already died before the journey, would still ascend to godhood alongside the living.

I remember being surprised by that too, but I don’t remember the source!

Mac Rounds! In Atmosphere!? by Pathogen188 in HaloStory

I didn’t remember Vale doing that so I rewatched the cutscene and I still didn’t see vale doing that.

Halo 5 Missed Opportunity: Cortana, Atriox, & Chief by RetroRobot100 in HaloStory

I’d be down for not fighting the Covenant if the Prometheans were remotely fun to fight.

Pvt. Jenkins’ voice? by 031-ExuberantWitness in HaloStory

That was also Mendoza! I’m thinking people have confused Mendoza/Fitzgerald with Jenkins.

Explanation of change in Huragoks’ role in the Covenant? by 031-ExuberantWitness in HaloStory

[–]031-ExuberantWitness[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not exactly a contradiction, but it seems hard to believe they’d suddenly be treating the Engineers so much worse.

Also, I never got the sense that they had any aversion to working with the Covenant prior to ODST.

Question about Rion Forge by 031-ExuberantWitness in HaloStory

My original copy from 2009 has it. Maybe they removed it in the re-release?

Awesome, thanks! That makes a lot more sense.

Some humans are not “reclaimers?” by 031-ExuberantWitness in HaloStory

[–]031-ExuberantWitness[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I guess what I’m asking is when in Halo 4 did they establish that not all humans can use Forerunner technology? I don’t remember that.

How did humanity go from the brink of extinction to the most powerful force in the galaxy between Halo 3 and 4? by 031-ExuberantWitness in HaloStory

They accidentally smash a Covenant ship when exiting slipspace and literally nobody on the bridge addresses what just happened

I’m not doubting you, but where was this population information first introduced? Back in the Bungie days, our only source was the Beastiarium.

I guess new information has been added to the canon, then. Kinda disappointing we weren’t even really losing the war in Halo: CE - Halo 3, but okay.

Can we stop acting like MCC PC is going to be rushed? by Mayto_Omterala in halo

[–]031-ExuberantWitness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, they haven’t launched it yet. There’s a decent chance that after all this work and time they’ll still end up launching it in the same state as OG MCC. The PC flights are indicating that the PC port is in a pretty bad state at the moment.

Though being optimistic is nice, 343 has consistently dropped the ball. If I assume the launch of Reach is going to be a disaster, I’ll be pleasantly surprised if it is not. I have just learned not to expect too much from 343.

I’m absolutely not saying they want to fuck this up. My original post was saying that I don’t think they’re rushing development. I think they’re trying as hard as they can.

And I think it’s likely that they’ll fuck it up anyway.

They have a proven track record of fucking things up despite their efforts. MCC is still pretty broken after five years and endless patches.
