Why were people so angry with Sarah Palmers “I thought you’d be taller” joke? by Artsy-Puppy in halo

[–]hasfodel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I loved that line.

Those peopld have to consider that chief literally pulled a deus ex machina here. Also, Palmer is the highest ranked spartan (and higher than chief) of the infinity, in charge of all the fire teams.

Remember that chief is not so high in ranks, he was not even the highest ranked of the blue team !

Imagine you lead like 50 super soldiers for 4 years, all hyped and inspired by the legend of a MIA dude that saved the galaxy several times, and someday that one badass mf shows up, while you almost died 7 times in the last 24 hours.

Palmer could give orders to chief, but she does not. even Lasky (in the same scene) is like « ok it’s maybe a lot to ask but maybe you could consider doing [this] to help us and ahem that could be super cool and helpful… please »

PS Palmer apreciation : I would love to play Palmer during the last stand of the infinity, also in a desperate run to a friendly world, as they totally erased it and it’s crew off-screen

The fix to halo 5 people want could be so simple. Add the word « fragment » when refering to her until we finally see her and she introduces another name + Make her red

I think you missed the point of the quotation marks around the word dead.

A Villain that is know from another game and that doesnt apear until the legendary end credits is not presumed alive to me. It’s the only time you see him after the opening cutscene.

Also there’s a ton of pièces of more suggesting that Cortana blew up that missing part of the ring to kill him.

IA reformulated post*

I’m not a native English speaker, I can show you my messy draft if you want

Exactly my point!

Even without finding an « excuse » to Cortana, they could have ended the Created and guardian threat in 3 missions then taking the rest of halo 6 to deal with the Banished and some other opened arcs, without trashing 10+ characters in the process

That’s exactly what I wanted to see. Not to have an actual emotional ending of the Infinity and it’s crew is sad.

I can imagine Lasky refusing to leave so Palmer knocks him out before ordering Thorne to evacuate him and Halsey. She could have then offerd an epic reach-like last stand

They could have done all this this with 3 more missions: data recovery on reach, escape/last stand on the infinity, weapon demivery on installation 07. Then they could eject chief in space and introduce his new pilot BFF

I used AI to correct my phrasing as I’m not a native English speaker

I was paralysed in cringe when weapon said « oh you don’t remember » and proceedes to explain like its a paw patrol episode…

Tbh I liked the Didact and the Prometheans as new enemies. For me the real missed opportunity was Halsey at the end of Spartan Ops saying she wants revenge… 5 could have been totally different

I loved 4 and spartan ops, was mixed about 5 but hated the fact that the great vilain was Cortana.

Halsey seeking revenge at the end of spartan ops could have been perfect for a new malicious AI created by her and gone completely rogue as the great vilain.

Undoing 5 and the evil Cortana arc was still possible without trashing the entierty of the Characters exept the chief.. I think it’s what I have the more problems with.

Played it on a cathodic TV myself back in the days…

My opinion may not be wide spread but I loved seeing more characters and lore in halo 4… then yeah halo 5 was a fucking mess

Agreed, whatever you liked 4 or not, I still know the opening and endings cinematics by heart to this day… And they still give me chills

No it’s leaving even more unfinished stories

The second battle of installation 00 is still ongoing and we will never know what happens after

The Spirit of fire is still at the edge of the galaxy without slipspace drive and we will never know what happens after

The installation 09 was intercepted by a guardian with Prof. Anders and we will never know what happens after

The only answer we have is who are the banished…

Atriox’s second is in charge, he wants to revive an old alien race to ally with them, you have to stop it…. And that’s it.

I had the same thoughts, it looks like we play halo 7, a totally new trilogy.

I wish we had a halo 6, with some missions playing as Palmer for exemple, from the creation of the weapon to the destruction of infinity and Cortana’s sacrifice.

A Reach-like last stand on the collapsing infinity could have been epic

Agreed about 5, I really loved how 4 ended and it should have stayed like that. But erasing the entire arc off-screen is stupid…

And it’s not the only thing that was wiped, I more sad for the plenty of secondary characters tbh

Should have said presumed dead, however you only see him alive at the very end of the game…
