Title: More Halo stuff
Post by: Stunaep on November 09, 2003, 07:30:27 am
Damn what an impressive game.  Now that it runs smoothly (and I mean, smoothly like the bottom of newborn).

Only gripe... why do the covenant speak english? And sound like castrated pr0n stars?

Is there really such a thing as a castrated porn star?

The Elites on the other hand grumble smg. like
"Whot-wha-to!"
I wonder what that means....

Hmm....did someone mention a book?

The elites voices are just slowed down and reversed words. There are three Halo books (all should be on amazon) called "The Fall Of Reach" "The Flood" and "First Strike", released in that respective order.

They are? Where did you see that? I figured it was some random roaring... I don't know if first strike is out yet though... TFOR and TF are out obviously...

EDIT: FS comes out Dec. 2nd...

I'm pretty sure they're just going 'Wort wort wort'.

"He's gonna kill us all!"

Grunts rule. :D

"I'll bite your kneecaps!"

The one odd thing about grunts is, if they get a plasma grenade stuck to them, or are being eaten by infection forms, they yell, "Not again!"... I fail to see how either could happen more then once...

'specially after you've pummeled them with a well placed explosive device, then they fly over your head;)

I was trying to find out where I read that the elites speech is reversed, found this instead. Pretty funny.

http://halo.bungie.net/site/halo/features/outtakes_03.html

The elites speech is reversed, try finding a sound file of one talking and reverse it then speed it up.

Seems the english speaking of the lower castes is an easter egg referring to Bungie's earlier Marathon games.

Those references are literally all over the place/game.

like Keyes' nametag says
"Hello, My name:
KEYES"

They put the marathon logo on his shirt too... But left out the wrd 'is' ...
