The trailer is up and it looks fantastic. Tons going off.
-
Glassman and Thorne encounter their Elite assailant (Presumably Gek). Could lead to some badass fight scenes that show how good a Spartan IV really is in hand to hand (Though Thorne is most likely exhausted, dehydrated etc) as well as some interesting dialogue if it is Gek. Maybe some light could be shed on his character as we were told we’d find out how he lost his eye and why he hates spartans so much.
-
Palmer gets taken out. Serves her right for not wearing a helmet eh? She’s presumably fine, a hit like that to her chest didn’t seem like it did much other than knock her off her feet. Will probably make 80% of this forum chuckle though with all the Palmer hate.
-
Halsey escapes/ is stolen? She ends up with Jul and attempts to escape (As seen when Jul grabs her arm) so presumably Jul orchestrated her capture. Her apology to Lasky before the Promethean teleported seemed odd though. Maybe with her help we’ll see the Librarian?
Discuss…
That scene at the end where Halsey is running toward the Librarian thingy continue to make me thing that it’s a teleporter, as it looks similar to the one on the Shield World in Halo Wars that Professor Anders used to escape from the Arbiter.
So Thorne and Glassman are still wondering Requiem and I believe are confronted by Gek(that’s who it looked like)? It also seems like Jul’s intention for invading Infinity was indeed to capture Halsey and it seems he succeeds from looking at the trailer. Palmer also gets knocked out by a Promethean Knight. I also wonder what Halsey was running towards at the end of the trailer? I’m guessing the librarian.
It was also good to see Halsey apologize to Lasky even if it was right before she was taken by the Knight.
> It was also good to see Halsey apologize to Lasky even if it was right before she was taken by the Knight.
I wonder if she allowed herself to be taken by the Knight, thinking that the attack was to get a hold of her. Perhaps she is apologizing for allowing herself to be taken.
Maybe im just imagining it, but it sounds like Jul Mdama shouts ‘Cortana!’ at the end?!
I don’t think that’s what he was saying, but it’s certainly close enough to appreciate the double take! lol
> I don’t think that’s what he was saying, but it’s certainly close enough to appreciate the double take! lol
Ive played it back a few times and i agree if anything Jul sounds like he’s saying ‘reclaimer’.
Heres what i guess will happen,
-
Thorne obviously squares off against Gek. In the video description it says that fireteam Majestic are reunited again, so that rules out Thorne being killed. Maybe hurt, but not killed. Which means either gek avenges his soldiers deaths by killing Dr. Glassman, or Thorne either kills him, or knocks him out & gets away.
-
After fending off waves of the Prometheans, lasky tries to get the Infinity to leave requiem. But before they do that, A knight grabs Halsey and takes her to Jul Mdama. Jul knows that a reclaimer is needed to awaken the librarian artifact, which could explain why he’s captured teams like Gargarin & switchback etc. But maybe only Halsey can get it to work because she has a gene song placed within her direct from the librarian, which jul has somehow figured out.
The artifact itself indeed does remind me of the teleporter that Dr. Anders used in halo wars, maybe it transports Halsey to the librarians last location. Earth? Maybe. Anyway im getting off track.
So after Halsey is taken, Thorne & Glassman end up back on the infinity. Glassman fills in Lasky on the fact the artifact he activated is supposed to awaken the Librarian. Panic ensues…
It sounds like he says what’s going on?!!
I paused at the right moment and I found out that a Promethean projectile goes through a marine. That’s good as it makes the weapons strong.

Someone needs to get their hearing checked…
It was Commander Palmer saying “Sorry Catherine” to Halsey as she was being taken. She was forced to the ground by the Promethian Knight, and as the Knight disappeared, with Halsey, she says, “Sorry Catherine…”

Ummmm perhaps you need to get your hearing checked. Halsey says “I’m Sorry Captain” when the Promethean Knight has a hold of Halsey and gets ready to teleport away. Lasky is standing right in front of the knight with a shotgun. Besides, Palmer was knocked out by the knight. And it’s also quite clear that the voice is Halsey, not Palmer. Heck it even shows Halsey when she says it.
Try actually listening to the video.

What’s the time date. I can’t find it.
A star map? As in the star map found in Chapter 4 of episode 1? If so, here’s hoping Crimson actually gets a mention in one of these cutscenes. There have only been two brief ones so far (More than a bit disappointing). Still, glad to see 343 is tying things together.
Does anyone else get a weird feeling seeing Majestic just pop up like that? And why are they taking their helmets off in a combat zone? Something doesn’t feel right.
Palmer Palmer Palmer…when will you learn.
Anyway episode looks good and I’m looking forward to finally seeing the librarian again and maybe jul change of heart.

27 seconds but you have to be so precise… It’s like one frame or two.
Interesting images
I’m excited to see Palmer die!

No Problem anything i can do to inform the community and help out.
Well, looks like that theory some people had that the Invasion of the Infinity was done to extract Halsey (and destroy the ship, of course), considering a Knight “kidnaps” her and she is seen next by Jul’s side.
Of course, seeing how the Knight likely extracted Halsey under Jul’s orders, could it be possible that Jul himself is directing the Prometheans?
