Now earlier, I was defending Palmer. Saying it was a new type of personality for Halo, and it would be interesting if given time to develop.
Then I watched Episode 5, and came to the conclusion that Palmer deserves to be fondled by 100 brutes.
Reach brutes.
That lousy little -Yoink- -Yoink- piece of no good piece of -Yoink- dares snatch Dr. Halsey’s data pad like a little thieving -Yoink-? Let the smart people do their job, you worthless -Yoink-!
See likes to be all aggressive and tough - I swear to god, what a rude little -Yoink-!
What the -Yoink- chick?
Spartan IV’s have proven to be nothing but canon fodder thus far, and she can’t even -Yoinking!- manage to do that!
I want to put two in her head - personally.
And who the -Yoink- do you think you are, aiming your little -Yoink- gun all over the place little some trigger happy blood -Yoink-?!
You’re not even anywhere near a true -Yoinking!- Spartan! What, you think you’re all that or something? -Yoink- YOU PALMER.
Seriously Palmer, if I see you put your greasy little “spartan” hands on my special “egghead” again, I’ll throw you of the -Yoink!- -Yoinking!- Spire!
Literally, Halsey created the Spartans, and they were the only thing that stood between the Covenant and the annihilation of humanity. Talk about gun pointed at the head of the universe!
Ungrateful, little slimy -Yoink-**
She is disrespectful to everyone. Scientist, Halsey, Majestic, and Miller gets the worst of it.
I was happy to see Miller took her place in this episode. One of my favorite characters in Spartan Ops. Him and Roland make a good team.
Here’s where she went to irredeemable territory: When, during Episode 4, we’re chasing down Jul, there is a platoon or two of Covenant between me and him. I encounter them after I am told that there is some kind of UAV with weapons on it now in the area. I fought my way through all of those Covenant, waiting for the game to tell me that I could lase targets for said UAV, or Palmer would call down hell on the platoons so I could proceed, or something.
She saves it for AFTER I’ve killed damn near everything, just to try and stop Jul. And MISSED.
Here’s a thought, Ms. Palmer: If you had used it to clear out the hundred or so bad guys between me and where I needed to be, I might have been able to capture Jul. Or, on the flip side, if you had used it sooner, maybe he would be giblets right now.
No, you decided to wait. Wait until he was almost gone and I had spent a good twenty minutes slaying Covenant and Prometheans just to miss him by ostensibly a few seconds.
I really hope you get captured and put through the same crap Jul went through in Thursday War, just with no hope of escape, and the occasional conjugal visit from a lonely sangheili. Or several.
Well all righty then… A tad more vitriolic than I was expecting, but okay.
I’m not a fan for the character because she’s one of those people that has to put everything down. So yeah, arrogant, condescending and can crush me like a bug means that I am not a fan.
I added the ‘crush me like a bug’ thing because if I knew someone like this personally, I’d probably get so fed up of their ‘everyone else is dumb’ attitude that I would verbally eviscerate them. That would then lead to my doom, which I’m also generally not a fan of.
So Halsey’s consorting with the enemy does not call for some form of punishment/hostility? Man, that’s whack.
