Very underutilized, loved using them on Highground.
Spikes and tight quarters/doorways where also a fun combo.
IMO the 'nade should have had slightly longer range and more damage, considering how difficult it was to use effectively (and latency etc affect it quite a lot, i think).
Hmm. If we had both bubble grenade (as i said on previous page's last post) and spikes... now that would be awesome.

Every time the Chief takes a step, all I hear is a Terran base landing.
Stealing from Starcraft now 343? C'mon

Great episode! I'm more hyped for next week's episode than I am for Halo 4 :lol

The voice isn't quite right IMO.
artistic freedom.
Understandable but still a bit weird, great episode and series thus far nevertheless.
Retcon
Someone didn't tell 343 that people prefer the halo 1 elite look (or the white elite in halo 3)
Every other design looks pretty damn stupid
ah, who cares. the elites/jackals/grunts/the chief will always look different in every new piece of media (tv-show, comics, movie...).
"STAY QUIET GUYS" Master Chief yells at the cadets.
Plus the whole "Call me Master Chief" was a bit cheesy, IMO. Maybe it was the voice... not exactly sure.
I feel as if they missed an opportunity

when MC killed that Elite at the start. Could've been an epic fight scene but it was over in a second.

Hunter in the Chiefs visor reflection in the next episode preview.
Chief is only a lad in this series though, like 20?
14 or 15.
Ew lol.
A little surprising though considering how much effort they put into recreating Chief's armour from The Package for the sake of canon.
He still has a half tonne of armor. Glass shards ain't no thang.
That seems crazy, how is he this badass when he's that age? I just can't believe that (I know it's accurate it just doesn't make sense to me).
I know, I know. It just really bothered me. He just stood there taking numerous rounds... The books gave the impression that Covenant weapons were super powerful and yet FuD gave the impression that the MKIV armour was invincible.
Which is wasn't.
Another thing that bothered me was the comment about being the last survivors on the planet. so in five minutes of the Covenant invading, the entire planet was wiped out except for the several cadets? Haha, right.
...
Overall a decent episode. Others were much better though.

yes.
Question: How did they clone the guys, which were taken into the Spartan program? In the Scanned trailer, they replace John with a 6 year old clone, but how fast did this clone aged to 6 years? How long did they observe subjects?
I guess, thats why the clones got sick and had health problems, like Daisy's clone ending up in a wheelchair.

I thought they got their suits when they were like 18 or something like that?

Spike nades were fun, So was the bubble shield.
New Promethean nades look like the are pretty much just spike nades with bubbles instead of projectiles so thats cool i guess.
Kind of sad we have no Bubble Shield.
Everything about this
Is awesome and i hope it returns in this format some day.
Imagine being able to throw a shield to protect allies running with the flag or to bounce a rocket back at the person who threw it.
So good

Like armorlock does?
You can give flagcarrier support with the hardlight shield, no?
HEY, BABY. CALL ME "GENERAL".
You could say that these clones aged... in a flash.
Yeah, feel free to slap me.
They're more like a power drain, but now you can hoard them.

As far as i know they also explode just before they vanish which seems to kill pretty quick
I thought that FUD episode was great. The only downer was the "Call me Master Chief" line, I don't know if it was the delivery, the line or even the music, but it felt really hammy.
I've shared the ExpertZone guide book if anyone wants a read: https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B8FYCPz_iFZ4RDRBajN5ZXpQREU

My Karate codex doesn't allow me to slap innocent people.
*slaps Flipyap*
Feel free to slap me, too. :lol
The power drain did that, too. I mean, the timing and force of the explosion is probably different, but the idea is the same.
But seriously, I don't think those are exactly "clones", they seem to be more like exact replicas of the copied being, seeing how Cortana somehow got Halsey's memories from her "cloned" brain. Otherwise we're getting into some real sci-fi hack territory.
Whelp. You tried 343, you tried.

Way to not pick up on the fact that the ONI comm vids were on the same planet being attacked by the Covies and that Lasky's brother was killed fighting them in another part of the planet. It was kind of hinted at being a lot longer than a mere 5 minutes.
I can't wait to see how much the graphics are going to be only incremental improvements in the next gen, and people will be arguing that Game X looks way better than Game Y because of some slight difference in parallax mapping or something stupid.

I'm really enjoying the tension in FUD as well as the humour. Also, the Elites were done really well.
RIP Halo movie.

Just wanted to know, if there is an explanation for this matter and if there are books, which explains these things.
But you are probably right, we shouldn't try to find the relation to the reality for Sci-Fi things.
Yes, there is a reason. They're called flash clones for a reason.
Problem is, making a person and then growing them that fast causes issues... which is why the flash clones all suffered genetic defects or diseases and died. After all if you could do perfect clones you'd just clone the Spartan candidates you needed from the get go.
Also, FUD spoiler, but this is the first thing I thought of watching that:
