Probably where his shield generator/battery is held. Its not a jetpack, because it didnt change from the first game.

The chief probably gets picked up by another UNSC carrier vessel as he's drifting in space or something...kind of like what happens to ripley in ALIENS. He also is located in the upper stratosphere where gravity is way off, and most objects are locked in a trajectory around the earth that forces them into an eternal free-fall (ie orbiting) so even if he does land on the covenant carrier he probably won't hit it like he slammed into the ground from a 30,000' foot jump to earth without a parachute. The ship he's on looks like a cruiser capable of deploying fighters which is where the chief looks like he is located in the trailer, (first the armory, then the hangar, then the launch bay.) Last, isn't the chief aiming for the Covenant carrier below him? So granted that he has one heck of a plasma torch or something to force his way in and past the energy shields he probably will start his first mission there. Maybe the crew of the ship he threw himself out of will fire a couple of MAC rounds to secure an entry for him?

After playing Halo a lot more, I noticed some more things that seemed...well...odd.
1) On AotC when you have to fight the Hunters when you have the tank, the other Marines literally jump in front of you when you're in the tank! Marine get dumber and dumber! It's kinda sad really....
2) In PoA when you arrive on the bridge w/ Keyes waiting for you, the ship gets hit by an anti-matter charge and one of the dudes sitting in the chair infront of the main view screen yells "Ma'am, power to the main cannon's offline!" After the movie, you can see that the guy sitting in front of the view screen is different from the movie.
3) Again on the PoA, if you look at where the crewmen are sitting, each station is labled. They're TAC (Tactical), ENG (Engineering), and COM (Communications. Also, near the display screens behind the main viewer, they say NAV 1-3, but if Cortana can control everything on the ship, why are all of the other crewmen neccassary?
4) On the Maw, if you look at the consoles in engineering, they each display the same things that were on the bridge in PoA. Why woudl engineering need to know where they're landing? Samething when you go into the cryoroom (PoA). Why would there be displays of Halo anywhere besides the bridge? I thought that was a little weird.
5) Again in PoA, Cortana mentions "The Main Cannon." If you look at the movies and screenshots of Halo, where is the main cannon exactly? There are those things in front of the bridge outside of the ship, but it doesn't seem practical to have the main cannon be in front b/c then its harder to aim.
6) In The Maw, you have to go on the Longsword fighter to escape. There are a few things wrong with this:
a) The hanger bay door/blast door was WIDE open. Wouldn't that have caused it to be damaged from entry into Halo's atmosphere.
b) If I were on the PoA, I would have taken THAT fighter off and landed on Halo with it. Why would it be left behind?
c) After you destroy/damage the fussion reactors, the PoA was falling apart (literally). How would that one Longsword be comepletly undamaged?
7) On the level Halo, Cortana says that they secured the PoA's crash site, but when you get there many levels later, there's nothing outside of the PoA except dust (True, if you beat it on legenedary there's that Sargent and the Elite). Wouldn't there have been Shades, Banshees, Dropships, etc. around the crash site to make it "secure"?
8) When the PoA is being boarded and you have to get to the bridge, the Grunts and Elites are everywhere. If you look closely at where they are, there aren't any doors or hatches for them to be boarding through. I guess they forgot the details.
9) I may have mentioned this before, but on both the Covenant Cruisers and the PoA, there are absolutely NO ELEVATORS (except for the service lift in the Maw). It would seem pretty impractical to have no form of transport other than stairs or ramps from deck to deck.
10) Again in the Maw, why would there be an "external access junction"? If it were open, the ship would be dstroyed from the vaccum of space. Also, that enormous cavern in the access junction seems like a waste of space. Why would that be needed?
That's all I can really think of now....looking forward to your answers.

Phoar, thats a lot of faults.

When the maw was secure, this was before the flood came along.The covenant may have taken refuge within the POA.

Engineering may have been ordered to make an analyisis of some sorts about how to get the POA onto halo etc.

If you read the fall of reach, you will see, that Cortana was put on the POA simply to escape reach, it was hasty and so crewmen would still be on board the ship.

Good point about the maw, but still, I would think that vehicles would have been seen out side.

Good point about engineering. They were probably checking to see if it was habitable or not. You missed what I said about the cryochamber considering that there is a display of Halo there. :-)

I haven't read the fall of reach, but I definately intend to.

What about ALL the other stuff I said?

Another thing. What is the point to the entire passageway that you go through in the warthog? The one in the Maw. Its completely useless. Why would someone build a giant corridor from 1 end of the ship to the other with a bunch of ramps and stuff?

Yeah! That seemed really weird. The doors didn't even have access panels are anything to open them! Why would there be a three kilometer long corridor with ramps, bridges, jumps, steep climbs, and sharp turns INSIDE a starship? After I finished Halo, I thought about that. It would make sense to have a long corridor (but it would have to be flat and level) to transport people from end to end, but the warthog can only carry three people and the personnel hog (see Halo 2 screenshots) isn't onboard. Gotta admit though, that was A GREAT LEVEL!!!!

well since there are a bunch of warthogs at the begining of that corridor it could be a warthog traning area or something. like for training like in the army they have obstacle courses u have to run throught. it could be like that but fot warthog. plus if u just drove strait the whole end of the game u would kinda lose the effect of thinking am i gunna make it in time or not. just a thought.

my thoughs exactly. it HAD to be a training corridor. one other thing...in the cutscene where cortana tries to start the countdown, there is a shot of the cheif tossing a grenade up and down. it's COMPLETELY out of proportion with his body! it's too large and sleightly too round!! also with the fusion core, after it was detonated, the ship wouldve IMMEDIATELY BLOWN THE HELL UP!! there wouldn't have been even three minutes to get out let alone the six or so you get in the game!!!

True, the fussion reactor would have exploded immediately, then again, does anyone know the true nature of a fussion reactor? None of them exist on Earth so maybe it takes a few minutes for a fussion reactor to completly destabalize. I dunno, mysteries of science I guess

it's quite simple if you take into account the chain reactions that would be caused by a rocket or grenade with other highly explosive materials. simple science.

Science has never been simple, but it would have been stupid to have the PoA explode and the MC commit suicide. I guess it took a few minutes for the chain reaction to cause a complete destruction of the ship. Also, five/six minutes isn't really a lot of time if you really think about...atleast it wasn't like an hour or something...

I just finished playing The Maw and I realized something about it. There's no ceiling!!! How is a Halcyon class starship suppose to fly in space if it can be sucked into the vaccum of space? Also, after you watch Echo 419's destruction *sigh*, you go to the end of the bridge and if you look up, you can see that there's another passage way on top. I don't know how you get there though.

Also, I thought about the corridor in the Maw being a training course, but there seem to be too many doorways for it to be a training course. There's a door way everywhere. It would be bad to have a technician run out of the door when your training. It was a cool level though.

maybe its like space shuttles and has the opening on top. why a warthog traning corridor would be in the opening i have no idea. any ways its just a stupid quess. what else could the thing be???

In reply to: Some more stuff I noticed in Halo...

I was playing "Halo" and something really weird happened in the beginning. If you head to the other side of that bridge, a banshee will start to attack you. Actually, there are two but sometimes to second one just kinda flies away. After I destroyed the first banshee, the dropship landed and unloaded its troops. I, as I usually do, used the pistol and scope to kill em before they crossed. All of a sudden, an Elite started to attack me. I figured he just made it across the bridge while I was distracted or something. After I killed the Covies in that area, I moved on and you'll never guess what I saw!!! AN BANSHEE!!! It was on the ground waiting to be pilotted, but sadly....I could not. It wasn't just an object either, I pushed it around and stuff, but it was still weird. The Elite that attacked me before decided not to use the Banshee and come to try to kill me himself. I guess the AI got messed up, but it was still weird....

hmmm interesting but way off the subject(which was the whole wart hog corridor thing),but anyways when i was playing that level one time i was using the pistol and its scope to take out the banshee on like the 3rd shot i see the elite flying out of a perfectly good banshee it wasnt smoking or any thing and no explosion. it was weird considering it takes more than 3 hits to kill and elite with evey gun (maybe not the shotgun never counted). the banshee came so close to landing I was pissed it didnt land on ground but still thought it was a cool snipe.

First off....nukes dont have to be missles. They dont have to be big either. If you take a warhead off of one of the nuke missles today, it will be pretty small (around 2 feet long I believe, and most is for the conventional explosive to launch the two pieces). Even now they have small nukes that can take out many city blocks, but can fit in a suitcase. Even though you have a good point on mad dash to the Longsword (Ahh.....what a good weapon...), it would have made more sense if he blew it up from space. However I dont think there were any tactical nukes left, and if there were the Covies would have taken them already.

good point but that is why i said "ok first off nukes *USUALLY* are...." yeah usually. and ya it would have made more sense to do it from space ya but alot less fun.

Nukes may not have been powerful enough to blow halo up. A nuke may tke out a few square miles, where as the PoA explosion takes out several hundred maybe even several thousand square miles.

YOu can't snipe a guy out of a banshee. I've tried. Even if you hit a guys foot as it hangs out of the banshee, you still hurt the vehicle and not the guy. You must have blown up the banshee.

I think it was a hacking mistake or an error in the coding. Sometimes weird things happen. The Elite may have gotten out (for some reason) and jumped our and killed himself.
There are hacking systems that allow you to destroy anything (dropships, etc.) maybe it was aactivated by mistake or something.

sorry about the first post. but u can shoot the elite out of the banshee. On the HBO site, it says in the FAQ section that it is not possible to fly it though. It would create script errors. The address is http://halo.bungie.org/faq/mostasked.html#halomods. it is toward the bottom of the page under "How Do I Get Certain Vehicles?"

In reply to: Some more stuff I noticed in Halo...

I was playing the Silent Cartographer and I saw a few weird things...
1) When you reach the LZ (landing zone), there are two dropships both with the logo "E419." Why would there be TWO echo 419s?
2) When you deactiavte the secuirty systems, you recieve a distress call from a dropship "Bravo 22." Later, when you reach the dropship, the logo "V933" which is the dropship that takes the captain to the Flood installation. Weird huh?
3) When you enter the cartographer, you recieve a transmission that "multiple covenant dropships in bound!" Yet, only one is actually scene landing when you exit the cartographer. If you go to the original landing zone, the troops are all dead! I just thought maybe it would be cooler if you had to board E419 and you get shot at by a bunch of attacking troops.
4) What the hell is with that LONG shaft that goes straight down into the island??? There are those weird beams and spokes sticking out of the walls and then Echo 419 takes you down there. It seems pretty useless, then again, the stuff on Halo was a little weird to begin with.

While I was playing "Truth and Reconciliation," I thought about "Keyes." Cortana said something along the lines of "I'm surprised the reactor hasn't gone critical" or something. Instead of journeying all the way over to the Pillar of Autumn, couldn't the MC and Cortana either A) take the damaged Covenant Cruiser off Halo or B) Destroy teh Cruiser's already crapped out reactor. Just a thought.

well the option b) takes out the A), if the reactor is all screwed how will they take off, and for option b) perhaps the covennants reactors arent that explosive, and if they were, im sure that with covenant tecnology it wuold be much more difficult to destroy the reactors

They were probably there already. If you look at the lasers, they are too precise and weak to be weapons. I think the sentinals were created by the Forerunner when they created 343GS, but the sentinals were probably used as repair drones instead of assuaslt units. But then why are they so damn weak unlike GS?
