For those like the commentators who don't know the difference, stalactites hang "tight" from the ceiling. Like babby tawp, this is a thing I learned in grade school.

Sniper Spree medal returns. Hopefully this means the other weapon spree medals are back. Their exclusion from H4 while including stuff like "Rocket Kill" made no sense.

So this implies the medals we've been seeing are not just placeholder. That's a bummer, since I think the Halo 4 designs are inferior. Plus, there are so many superfluous ones.

It's a good thing these are just minor complaints, though.

Another cringey thing.

In Nightfall

"They found a compound that selectively kills humans and nothing else"

Ok, this is pretty in line with something sci fi forerunner shit can create.

"Not a compound, an element"

Aww cmon. Why'd you have to ruin everything.

The designs might still be placeholder (most look copy-pasta), but the actual events that trigger them are enough work required to put them in that it implies those medal events are going to be in the game.

Yeah that really bugs me too. If you're gonna do sci-fi for modern people to enjoy, get the damn science right to some extent, not just go Deepak Chopra on us and use whatever terms you want willy-nilly with no regard to their actual meaning.

Given how advanced Forerunner technology is I wouldn't be surprised if they could synthesize a new element.

To me, that's even more awesome than 'just a compound'.

They found an island of stability element that only kills humans. Say it often enough and you'll start to believe it.

They can synthesize a new element for sure. Humans have already done that. But it makes no sense why an element would only selectively kill humans.

Dude, that's not a big deal. Humans have synthesized plenty of elements. That's not the objection here.

EDIT: beaten. Also, let's not forget that the heavier the element gets, the less stable (except for a couple theorized cases) they become and the shorter their lifespan. That's why they aren't found in nature. Unless we're going to completely just redefine what "elements" are for this one piece of lore-schlock, it's just dumb.

Yeah, I guess. I mean, this is the Forerunners that we're dealing with though. So a certain suspension of disbelief should be maintained, IMO.

Okay wait, someone remind me what the title of the song in the background for the Nightfall video is called? The first one with the vaguely techno beat.

Im pretty sure im 100% back on the Halo hype train now. A lot of the collection has exceeded my expectations even since the leak and 343 has a great attitude about the future so looks like I made a good choice when I decided to get an Xbox One based off the leak lol

Pretty sure that was a remix of Heretic, Hero.

Also, working on a Title Update for OTAnnie. Preview:
