Story conjecture...
FriendlyFire writes about some of the issues brought up in our recent Halo Review, specifically the storyline. I'm going to break with tradition, and quote a boatload of his note, because it's pretty intriguing stuff:
[...] some dialog in the game makes me think that the Master Chief's appearance on Halo is beyond coincidence. I'm refering to comments by 343 GS in more than one location in the game. Once you return to the control room with the Index [sounds an awful lot like Codex doesn't it ;)] and Cortana reveals to you the true purpose of Halo, 343 says something odd. I can't remember the exact phrasing off-hand but he said something along the lines of, "Well of course that's the purpose of Halo...But you already knew that...I mean, how couldn't you?" At this point the camera zooms in for affect installing a sense that there's someting peculiar about his comment. He also says something about "the last time you were here" but we're fairly certain the Chief has never been to Halo before.
Furthermore, in the last level of the game, on-board the Pillar of Autumn, when you're running around the engine room trying to trigger a Fusion explosion, 343 keeps referring to you as "Reclaimer". He also mentions something along the lines of, "this is not the plan".
This lead me to two possible conclusions:
- 343 is mistaking you for someone - or something - else.
- You are in fact who 343 thinks you are.
If 2 is true, then how is this possible? How could you be part of a plan for a ring construct which you've never been to before and never even heard of? One possibility comes to mind but it is, of course, only conjecture: perhaps we're dealing with a Time Paradox. Perhaps at some point in the Chief's future, he enters 343 GS's past. I guess we'll have to wait and see.
Of course, it's just as likely that 343 is mistaking you for someone else but that raises other questions: How could he mistake you for someone else? I think he knows you're human. Also, if he is mistaking you for someone or something else, who or what is he mistaking you for? A Forerunner, perhaps? Questions, questions and more questions....
Good stuff... comments are always welcome. Once again, it looks like it's time for a Halo Story section (either forum or moderated pages)... (Louis Wu 16:52:36 UTC)

New movie at Fileplanet
Well... the Cinematics team said not to watch intro films posted to the net, because they would spoil the 'first-time' experience of playing for yourself... but many have said they're waiting for the PC version of Halo, and in any case, we would be remiss if we didn't tell you what's out there. Fileplanet has posted what they call a 'Halo Intro and Gameplay Movie' - it's a 50 MB, 6 and a half minute film that contains footage similar to the GameSpot films released a week ago. It starts with the Halo opening sequence - this makes up half the movie. The rest gets the Master Chief from his cryo tube to the bridge. The player is very much a novice - in all the running around, they NEVER pick up a weapon of any kind! In a way, this is nice - your view of the scenery is not hampered by the gun in front of you... but a good chunk of the time is spent trying to get through obviously locked doors, and the like. Bottom line: it's out there, it hasn't been seen before. There - we've told you. (Louis Wu 17:12:43 UTC)

Bob don't drive!
Bob don't drive! According to an Xbox IGN article on the driving aspects of Halo the NPCs don't drive. Here's the beef:
But if you decide that you're NPC gunner isn't getting the job done and you're in a place where you can afford to be stationary, you, as the Mark V Master Chief, can hop out of the driver's seat, hit the X button to kindly ask your Marine buddy to move and take over the turret yourself. Same thing if you decide to take over the passenger seat yourself and ride shotgun. The catch is, the NPCs don't drive, and really as talented as they are, you wouldn't want them to. So they simply stand next to the Jeep and watch you get busy.
I don't think I'll be the only person disappointed by this if true. Thanks to Harry "Could drive but isn't allowed to" Al-Shakarchi for the heads up earlier this morning. (Ding 16:37:10 UTC)

Halo Movie Overload
Holy mother of... Looks like the whole first level (and more!) has just been made available by Gamespot. 9 movies, a total of 115 megs if you grab the mpegs... I (obviously) haven't had time to watch 'em all... but the first couple are jaw-dropping enough. Bad news - Cortana's still the same voice as was used at E3, so those that didn't like her there will still not like her. Geez - stop reading and DOWNLOAD! (A huge shout out to Draikin for the heads-up.) Update for those who don't want spoilers: The first movie (the biggest) contains the opening sequence of Halo - the Pillar of Autumn entering the Halo system. (You'll see this first thing when you play the game.) The second through the fourth are gameplay sequences from the first level. The fifth is a cutscene - banter between Cortana and Master Chief, and the decision to abandon the Pillar of Autumn. The next two are more gameplay sequences on the ship. The last pair show splitscreen coop play on the Halo itself, but have very little action in them. They're good for a look at what splitscreen coop might feel like (green arrows over your partner's head, etc). On the page, they're listed from newest to oldest... so 'the last pair', for example, refers to Movie 17 and 18. (Louis Wu 02:26:43 UTC)

No Mexican wrestlers here...
"Master Chief"? Matt Soell stops into our forum to clarify that this sobriquet, first mentioned in the Gamespot preview, is actually your rank as player, not your name. (Louis Wu 18:49:07 UTC)
