Yup, watch how she misses the elevator switch, and just look at her eyes.
We had this discussion before, wife. Yes, they are all evil.

If she was blind how did she know where the elevator was? If there was an emp why did their helmet radios work?
The truth is that near the end of development Bungie realized how bad Kat was and needed to find a way to kill her off asap.

There's more than 11 OT's. We had 7 Reach OT's before we made Halo OT

This should be the 'Legendary All Skulls On' ending.
You then unlock a space mop to put on your back similar to the katana.

Barlow, did Kat run off your cat or something
I haven't seen this much intense hatred for a fictional character since TheOddOne showed me his fanfic.

It's for a franchise, not a game. This is a community OT, not a game OT.
The cutscene in question
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=Nl6VJyvI398#t=122s
She's looking right towards the nuke when it goes off, too. 2:26, she misses the button.

I heard he had a new job in Reach.
I thought she was shocked about the glassing beams.
Didnt notice she missed the elevator switch

So good. You should make a few more of the other cool scenes.
I suppose the final part would make the most sense,
otherwise I don't see why they wouldn't at least bombard the academy from orbit. It was a small target, and if they only wanted them dead that seems like the most logical way to do it. It just seems the Covenant wanted something left in tact for whatever reason, so I hope the FUD has an explanation for it. Then again, apparently everyone on the planet died in like 15 minutes, so it may have been one of those small details that was over looked.
I think that would have required a certain level of visible gore that Halo really hasn't gone to yet. I'm still surprised they showed the exit on the front of her helmet, because that's about as gory as Halo has gotten for a game series centered around war and guns.
That is pretty violent looking.. poor Kat.
I still think that scene could have been handled a little better. The music never meshed for me, and the EMP dialogue is pretty confusing. Seriously, she was blinded? Whaa.
Eh, but then why even say
you are the last survivors...on the planet.
them being the last survivors doesn't make sense either, as I am sure others managed..

still, is it the most?
This makes more sense.
Her first time, eh? I thought all S3's were orphans that came from glassed planets.
What's with those subtitles for civillians?
I just saw those right now.. yeah I don't know either. Cut dialogue, like the "excrement from our boots" line in the Halo 2 cutscene?

That's true. Still, I don't think the planet would be densely populated. We know the UNSC has dedicated entire planets to train soldiers (Like Onyx). Maybe we'll hear more about it in the next episode
And an equivalent of 6 halo 3 OTs (7 if you include the beta)
She was also hitting buttons on her comm device pretty well.
You can't explain that.

This was definitely THE BEST scene in FuD Episode 4. Gif'd it and linked it to be repsectful and not spoil anyone.

Could have been evac'd off planet before the glassing started
Maybe it was like a temporary thing like when something really bright turns on in a dark room and you can't see right for a little while because I think if she would have been completely blinded, she probably wouldn't have been able to get her helmet right away or use the comm device.

How do you know that a nuke is going of there? I always thought it was a Covenant cruiser that started glassing the city near them.
Muscle memory I suppose.
Like typing with your eyes closed. That's what I did for this sentence.
I was so pumped to see them throw in a
supercombine.
Yea, it was definitely a cruiser glassing, not a nuke. The rads increase at an airborne specific location, and Kat then says it's her first glassing.
She was looking down at her phone and looked up when she was done punching in numbers.
:|
Guys Kat was not blind.
...yeah, she's not blind. She's tapping shit on her iPhone in the elevator pretty well.
And besides, when she 'misses' the button, she wasn't even looking at it. Only when she turned around to check the panel does she hit the button properly.
Anyways, she's not blinded.
Nah, the best scene was
the Elite cloaking after it killed that chick in the hallway...closely followed by Chief landing like a boss after jumping.
perfect.
As far as city glassing goes, i think the Carrier attacking New Mombasa was so much better than the Battlecruisers just firing once on stationary position in New Alexandria. It was moving and the way the Carrier appeared, from the clouds... The Cruisers just lamely spawned behind you, flew over, stopped, turned around very fast and boom. Meh. Didn't even see what they glassed (well, the beam hit behind the buildings in ODST as well but at least it looked like it was attacking really.
And that Cruiser while over you trick was used in Halo 3 already, and since that was in daylight it looked far better.
I'm more of a PnP player/GM so d6s are not very useful. d20 just has so many uses.
Ah, and to what RPGs you do art?

Kat is definitely not blind. You could maybe make the argument that her vision was stunned for a moment (the same as when you look at a really bright light and experience the image for a few seconds/minutes afterward).
No person who is suddenly blinded knows exactly where their helmet is laying on the ground, is able to pick it up, and then sprint directly into a small elevator doorway. Just think how people react when the lights go off in a bright room. They're not even blind, but they freeze, possibly drop to the ground, and certainly can't take off at a full sprint.

This, this, this. Jeez, people, haven't you ever been blinded by a camera flash. If Kat was blinded at all, it lasted for all of five seconds. By the time she got off the elevator, she could see just fine.
She's not completely blind, nor permanently. They also explicitly mention that she's been blinded in the commentary. It's canon. Flashbangs don't permanently blind someone either.
I highly doubt the planet is that populated. Corbulo has to be on an outer colony world, for starters. It's surprising they've got a space elevator still, though.

Where can i go back and watch MLG Halo 2 VoD?

Harvest has one, with a population of 3 million at the most. I think that orbital elevators are standard wherever A: the UNSC has a significant military presence or B: the planet is economically noteworthy.

Traviss and Halsey.
I guess the former. It's just weird it would be out in the boonies as opposed to Earth or Reach, not to mention a bit more exposed to the insurrectionists.
Pathfinder? It is an odd world (i wouldn't call it small, so odd it is), here i was just thinking about getting Pathfinder (mostly as a referrence book for my own homebrew systems, but might also actually play a Pathfinder game).
MLG has A LOT of it stored in their offices I believe, I've offered to upload it since there are still people out there that like to watch classic matches.
Here are so that are still up.
