Halo: Escalation comics are being dumped. First few issues are in the linked thread.
>>292621704
>>292648405
>poll is current 20:1 for John
God damn.
>>292648405
Who are the other three in the pic?
>>292648405
bump
>>292649008
The Blue team
John's bros
>>292649008
Apparently its fucking blue team
>>292649000
Who would vote Locke?
>>292649000
When in doubt, bet on the Chief.
>>292648405
Anybody got Halo: New Blood? If so, put that shit on Mega or something, please
>>292649051
>>292649103
I know that. I mean who is who. I know thats Linda with the sniper rifle.
>>292648405
Finished up Issue 4 from last thread.
Starting Issue 5 now.
Halo used to be cool military sci-fi with religious overtones
Now it's a stupid fantasy space opera
Also Spartans are being written like superheroes instead of supersoldiers, and apparently have no regulations or discipline whatsoever
Where did it all go wrong, /v/?
>>292649008
From left to right are Linda (sniper), John (leader), Kelly (scout), and Fred (CQC). They're known as Blue Team and are the best Spartan II squad. They're also most of the Spartan IIs still alive
Locke did nothing wrong
>>292649214
I think its Linda, John, Kelly and Fred
>>292649398
Are there even any S2s alive and not MIA (actually MIA, not dead) besides Blue Team and Naomi?
>>292649398
I still think they should all be rolling Mark V/Mark VI armor to distinguish themselves from the faggot spartan IV's playing dress up.
>>292649461
>>292649398
The more I see Halo artwork the more I realize how uncreative Bungie is. Kelly's helmet is just about the same as a Titan's in Destiny.
To the anon dumping the comic, your service is greatly appreciated.

>>292649505
Technically, Jorge. The 'bomb' wasn't so much an explosive as it was a random-teleport-to-nowhere,
>>292649685
Yup. Pretty much the exact vibes I got from them too. 'That's just an EVA fishbowl'.
>>292649239
> UNSC Spirit of Fire is ded
> Everyone ded
> Everyone died for nothing
> Forge's sacrifice was in vain
> A good piece of lore kept compartmentalized from the rest of the franchise used as toilet paper to make 343's fanfiction edgy.
Shitting on something another writer did really pisses me off. Bungie didn't like Halo wars being inserted into their universe but the game treated the franchise with tremendous respect all things considered.
>>292649685
>Bungie
>>292649782
There's no way he could survive making a Slipspace jump, though
>>292649782
>The 'bomb' wasn't so much an explosive as it was a random-teleport-to-nowhere,
As soon as that moment happened, I knew that the lack of a body to bury meant some bullshit would probably happen to bring him back and I still hold to that.
>>292649685
The EVA helmet was around a lot longer than Destiny. No idea why Kelly is wearing one though. I thought Linda preferred EVA so she could see better
>>292649883
He was on a corvette inside a super carrier.
But yeah, jorge is dead
>>292649782
>>292649883
>>292649970
It's not like he brought any food along. Even if he survived the bomb it's not like he'd live much longer.
>>292649845
Bungie
>>292649883
>>292650034
Technically, it wouldn't really be that bad... He's inside an Assault Carrier. His armor is thick enough to take a little bit of radiation. all he'd have to do is find a still-pressurized compartment. And chances are that the Covies, at least the Elites, eat similar enough to us that we could choke it down and not die.
>>292649970
So do I, Anon. So do I. Just...
>>292650034
He could have fallen down to a planet and survived
>>292650030
Yeah, but normally the jump portal thing is outside the ship. This time, it was inside. And Jorge was standing right next to it. So the ship's hull didn't do a thing to protect him.
>>292650102
>tfw that armor is forever tainted by the MEta
WHY did I keep watching RvB? God damn it.
Anyone else think that Master Chief's story is over? And I'm not even talking about Halo 4, I'm talking about Halo 3.
It'd be far better to introduce a new protagonist to the series and give him his own arc.
>>292650209
>Ray's hair
Why do the S4s have literally no regs?
>>292650296
>It'd be far better to introduce a new protagonist to the series and give him his own arc.
Exactly why they're killing off the old dusty bastard and Locke will take his place

>>292650209
>Dat ass
Back story time.
>>292650521
Why are the aliens constantly wearing armor no matter where they're at. Are they literally too lazy to imagine up some casual wear for them
>>292650508
Post season 5 RVB had its downsides, but that season dedicated to showing how Washington was a total fuckup was actually pretty good.
>>292650425
Fred 104 would have been the new protagonist, he's better than John in combat, is the best at remembering the basics of CQC and travels and is the only other guy in Blue Team.
>>292650765
I kinda thought it was like the forerunner armor that provided extra life support and shit.
If not then its a waste
>>292650765
They're invading, you dumb fuck. Remember when all those allied troops changed into casual wear when they weren't patrolling the area looking for krauts?
>>292650767
The freelancer seasons are pretty good just for Montys work and the musical talent they got behind it, and the newest season seems like its gonna be mostly that.
>>292649780
I'm black.
I voted for the Chief. Fuck 343i and their gimmick OCs.
>>292650826
Fred is gonna die too
Blue team will fall anon.
>>292650850
He looks so happy about the fact that he fucked them over
>>292650765
That bothers me, too
>Halo 5
>Blue team besides John is dead
>Stuck on some planet
>Chief is fucked up, crack in his visor armor pieces damaged etc., lying on the ground against a crashed vehicle. You can hear ONI ships and chatter nearby, they are getting close

His helmet is better
>>292651167

>Insert montage of back-to-back badasses here.
>>292649797
>treated the franchise with tremendous respect all things considered.
This right here, they did everything according to Bungie's Halo. They even knew Spartans didn't have shields yet in 2525, so they added them purely for gameplay so you could tell Spartans apart from Marines. They didn't go full retard like 343 and redesign fucking everything. Even their Spartans were beastly.
>>292651172
If anything Blue Team will probably out live John.
>>292651385
>Chief punches him in the arm and quips
"you're late"
>>292651675
What the fuck
>>292651821
What, you've never seen an elite puke his guts out at a bar before?
>Always wonder what Jorge said during that part in space
>"Ez megszakad a szÃvem..."
>"This breaks my heart..."
>Tfw
>>292651819
Even that other elite knows how shit the writing is. Jesus Christ that's bad. Also, the Brutes were easy to destroy. Knocking one's helmet off sends them intoa Ferguson level chimpout. The prophets even said they were a space travelling civilization before they blew themselves back into the stone age with a nuclear holocaust

>>292652260
As much as it pains me to say it, Krogan. Depends if plasam goes through Mass effect shields or not
>>292651514
And now they're all dead, killed by the flood or some such nonsense.
Pisses me off.
>>292651021
>>292650850
>>292650752
>>292650621
I thought the spirit of fire blew up in Halo Wars?
>>292651819
Wait, how the fuck does this Elite even know that?
>>292652458
Then you're in for a treat next issue
>>292652458
Nah man. It got out of the Shield world and then was lost in space.
>>292652458
They went into cryo sleep and drifted into space since the ship was critically damaged.
>>292651819
That single page makes me want to a play a game as a Ronin without a master in the post covenant Sangheili wars for dominance
>>292652606
Nah they used the slipspace drive to blow up the shield world.
>>292652574
THE PLOT MUST GO ON
Here we go. Issue 6.
I actually liked this one more than the others.
But that's not saying much.
>>292652864
Youre doing Gods work my man
>>292652458
It successfully escaped the planet Anon. Forge sacrificed himself to blow up the ship's FTL drive and fuck up the Shield-World and it's automated shipyards full of Forerunner warships.
But apparently the ship was wiped out by flood that snuck on board while everyone went into Cryo.
>>292652707
Is that the Dawn? I thought that shit was Normandy levels of experimental and shit? How did that random covenant dreidel bitch fuck it up?
>>292652260
Definitely Krogan, Krogan are insanely durable
>>292653006
Don't mind me, I'm just flipping tables.

>>292653398
Don't worry, he gets better.
>>292653476
I read most of the novels up to Onyx, Biofoam is some bullshit. A mother fucker can basically be cut in half but they fill up his gut hole with biofoam and he makes a full recovery.
>>292652269
He allowed six to escape though and six allowed the Autumn to escape Reach with MC. So he played a pretty big part in saving humanity.
>>292653538

>that blatant reusing of the same picture
what the fuck
>>292654403
New to comics, eh?
>>292654193
A single halo only destroyed approximately 5 light years, per Halo 1. The milky way is 27,000 light years across, so you'd need at least 5000 Halo rings all firing at once to cleanse the galaxy. Closer to 5500. Actually makes them seem pretty insignificant, doesn't it?
>>292654129
>Nippon covvies
>tfw giving 343 another chance

>>292654396
Who the hell is drawing this shit, it looks terrible, Why is palmer carrying a half finished pistol
>>292654403
Reusing assets gets all the bitches wet.
>>292654483
I'd like the quote where Halo's range is stated in Halo 1. Because last I checked, 7 of them covered the entirety of the Milky Way with room to spare.
Why is the artwork so shit?
>>292654129
>Literally griffith as a spartan
Where did that hair fit? Fucking bullshit japs
>>292654683
So am I. 343 has said they listened 100% to the beta feedback and H5 teaser stuff is giving me a good vibe that it will feel similar to 2
If they burn me this last time, I'm done

>>292655914
Who's that captain guy Chief meets in Halo 4? He's alright.
>>292655849
Doesn't that page insinuate that they actually, you know, abandoned ship at some point?
On to Issue 7, aka, filler shit.
As much as I find Thorne to be the only tolerable Spartan 4, was it really necessary to give us one whole issue about him and his problems?
>>292656210
I would like to think that their AI managed to wake them up in time and get everyone off the ship.
But this is 343 we're talking about.
>>292656210
Yes.
>>292656207
Del Rio, the guy who screams at chief all the time
I know you don't mean Lasky because stoic personality of his is almost as unlikeable as Palmer's raging idiocy.
>>292655849
We've successfully recycled the covies, so why the fuck not the flood too?
>>292655578

Maybe, maybe not, there is flood on the ship, nobody knows if it's locked in a specific sector or has gotten to everybody, who knows, maybe they'll make a survival horror game where you play as a marine in the damaged spirit of fire fighting the flood..
>>292659049
Why wouldn't it be his Halo 4 armor? The 4 armor is just what they retconned his 2 and 3 armor into looking like.
>>292658750
Mark 4 you mongoloid, not Spartan 4.
Mark 4's armor was used in 2531, 20 years before the events of HAUAH. Mark 5 armor was in use in 2551. Mark 6 armor was used in 2552.
And done.
Next up is what you've probably been anticipating.
>>292659263
>retconned
I thought it was an artstyle change?
The artwork in these comics is fucking atrocious.
>>292659049
>>292659102
That's what the Mk VI armor always looked like in this continuity. The nanomachines excuse is for those who can't accept the retcon for what it is.
>>292659392
Please no
WHAT MOST OF YOU HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR.
ARE YOU READY FOR SOME CAPTAIN KING?
Reminder that 343 kills black team in one page without a fight
>>292659249
that would actually be pretty cool
>>292659446
I don't even know why they changed it. Chief's Mark VI armor from 2 and 3 is iconic.
>>292659446
>>292659658
I find it funny how black team is in SII armor
Yet chief gets a sudden redesign
>>292659580
awwwww yeahhhhhh
>>292659736
Because 343 has a boner for plastering themselves all over the series and erasing everything that came before.

Of course it was a good thing.
>>292657995
This comic should never have been made. All this shit doesn't fit within halo at all, they're basically making it a boring fucking drama with boring "serious" characters instead of making any of them actually interesting or cool.
Another thing 343 SORELY lacks is great editing and impact within their cutscenes and campaign in general.
>>292660137
Check out the Halo Graphic Novel, it shits all over this stuff.
Also, I'm not the only one who has a problem with Spartan's being depicted as anything but autistic robo-people who struggle with social relationships outside of other Spartan's, right?

>>292648405
Since these are supposed to be Chiefs last games, I think 343 is gonna try to set Locke up to be the protag in Future games since Halo is the microsoft flagship. I could see them trying to do another three games even though the series should be dead b that point.
>>292661123
Fred is fallback leader of the SIIs when John's not around.
>>292661123
Kurt made him Lieutenant at the end of Ghost of Onyx since they would need a clear leader in the Shield World.
>>292661175

>>292661294
God fucking damnit. This image is like an amalgamation of everything wrong with 343 Halo. A bunch of Spartans in the classic armor unceremoniously killed off for drama.
...cheifs going to die soon isnt he /v/...his luck will run out and hes porbably going to go insane over cortana ...
What is it with these wannabe spartans removing their fucking helmets when doing the most simple of tasks?

>>292661250
Well yes, but he wasn't an officer before. All the Spartan II's were NCO's until Kurt was chosen to train III's.
Technically speaking, a lowly Lieutenant can order Chief around. They'd be crazy to do so, but they can.
>>292661291
Ahh. Been a while since I read Ghosts of Onyx.
>>292661062
LOL. Ugliest art I've ever fucking seen. That middle panel with the 4 spartans just makes my eyes bleed.
>>292660442
Did the artist for this also do the Glimmer Rats graphic novel?
>>292661875
What. The. Fuck.
That 3rd panel
>>292661504
Symbolism for 343 making their own trilogy and saying fuck you to all the fans of the original series.
With Star Wars Battlefront looking less like the summit of a beautiful mountain we've wanted and more like a wall of dicks, I think Halo is prime for a Battlefront-esque title. Think about it...
>massive battles
>plenty of lore unexplored in vidya
>dem vehicles
>four armadas (Humanity, Covenant, Promethean, Flood)
>great Hero potential (summon Chief, ODST drop pods, Regret Glassing Beam, Didact Composition)
I've never needed anything more
>>292661990
I think you expected far too much out of Western Graphic Novel artists.
>>292661294
Poor Black Team... Another sacrifice on the altar of 343.
What the hell is up with Linda's helmet? How many cameras and lenses does she need?
>>292662141
And you'll never have it, because 343i is hellbent on milking the Halo franchise from a feminist perspective.

>>292661465

DROPPED. These are just regular fucking dudes in metal suits at this point.
>>292662291
To be fair prometheans can teleport behind their back and slice their throat
>>292662253
The spartan in the front is holding the front of the assault rifle, but the rest of it is missing.
Come on now.
>>292662291
>what is teleporting bullshit
It astounds me how retarded /v/ is when it comes to Halo lore. I don't like how 343 is handling it but people on this board like to complain about shit that was always there.
DIDACT'S ALIVE WHO WOULD'VE THOUGHT.
SHOULD'VE BROUGHT SOMTHING STRONGER THAN A QUICK TIME EVENT TO FINISH HIM OFF, EH?
>>292662508
obviously its a new power weapon
>>292662114
It may seem like I'm samefagging a lot but I just can't stop laughing at this hilariously bad art. Look at that first panel, oh man my lungs. It's like there was supposed to be a completely different comic for these backgrounds but it was cancelled and used for this new abomination, and all the artist did was scribble in some characters.
>>292662558
Anything else would have been even more stupid. MC shouldn't be able to do anything to the Didact.
>>292660512
I've forgotten about how good King's dry wit can be due to the last few games. Good to see it's still there.
>>292662253
Oh, look. Nightmare fuel.
>>292649297

>>292662534
I never played the trainwreck that was halo 4 so don't blame me. It's non canon anyway so I can still laugh at it.

>So yeah, remember black team? Yeah we figured it wouldn't be fair to kill them off like that without giving you guys an explanation. So here, a little something just for you.
>>292663201
I don't like 343 but nice try
>>292663027
Thank god I don't have any knowledge on halo 4. It would most likely cause a tumor on my brain.
>>292663305
You're not fooling anyone, Frankie.
>>292663027
I'd wort wort that wort if you know what I mean
>>292663119
None of the enemies or NPCs had personal teleporters except for maybe guilty spark.
>Don't worry guys, trust us on this one. We believe we'll be able to give everyone a satisfactory explanation of Black Team heroics before they met their honourable death in the heat of battle.
>>292663212

>roman numerals on their visors
For what purpose?
>>292663212
>Four Spartans standing around in a single location doing nothing
>Ever
>The Master Chief Collection tournament is cancelled because 343 made matchmaking buggy
why is 343 so shit
>Believe me when I say that you will totally be satisfied with what we've come up with.
>>292663212
>I, II, III, IV
What. I'm sorry, but what.
Wouldn't that fucking get in the way of your vision?
>>292663435
holy fucking shit. The rifles look so shitty. Nigga on the right has his hand going INTO the fucking gun. What a fuck
>>292663435
I miss that classic Mark VI armor.
>>292663574
I think that's just Black's "thing". It doesn't obstruct their vision, I don't think.
>>292663520
They're being written as if they are ODSTs and not SIIs.
343i and the graphic novelists they're hiring, are completely ignoring Halo: TFoR, The Flood, & First Strike novels and the idea that SIIs are in fact serious forces of nature on the battlefield.
And by writing them as ODSTs, they can be killed off willy nilly/convenience for plot.
>See, wasn't that completely satisfying?F
And now back to your regularly scheduled programming.
>>292663435
>>292663559
Bullshit. Black were ridiculous ONI top secret operatives. Weren't they crazier and more paranoid than any other Spartan II's?
>>292663790
wait what really!!!!!!!!
>>292663435
>take a nuke to the face
>survive
>travel through splipspace
>survive
>travel out of splipspace rupture
>survive
>travel through atmospheric reentry
>survive
>impact into the ground at terminal velocity
>survive
>no scratches
The only ONLY way I can see that happening is if 343i ignored everything but the one line in the book The Flood, where 343 Guilty Spark tells 117 that he's only wearing a class 2 combat skin and needs to be wearing a class 12 combat skin to fight against the flood.
Barring that, the survival of the Didact is complete bullshit and a deus ex machina level asspull.
>>292663790
Fucking seriously.
>>292663790
To be fair, all Didact had to do was freeze them in place with that bullshit telekinetic thingy of his and kill them at his leisure.
>>292656871
Goddamn the custscenes in H2A were so well done. I hope they had Blur do the cutscenes for Halo 5.
For å guy like me, who likes CE the most, seeing the aesthetics change fir the worse so much feels terrible. The pelican and other vehicle designs especially are terrible imo
>>292663212
Doesnt this COMPLETELY throw out Nanomachine redesign and the overall redesign for Mark VI armor?
FUCK 343 AND THEIR SHITTY FUCKING BULLSHIT
WHY DO I HAVE TO WATCH A FRANCHISE I LOVE GET DRAGGED OUT AND HUMILIATED LIKE THIS FOR YEARS TO COME
FUCK
I'M SO MAD
THIS IS ALL AWFUL
4 WAS AWFUL. MCC WAS AWFUL. THIS COMIC IS POOR IN BOTH ART AND STORY. 5 IS GOING TO BE AWFUL

How the fuck does Kelly NOT know what a forerunner portal system is. She, along with Blue Team traveled to a shield world via one through Onyx with Halsey.
What the fuck is wrong with this Halo canon. Why is shit being cherry picked out of convenience for the plot. God dammit, I'm so mad.
>>292664319
It makes it horribly confusing, that's what.
>>292663790

>>292651167

>>292664359
BUT ANON HALO 4 HAS THE BEST LORE OF ANY GAME IN THE FRANCHISE, AND IT DIDN'T REALLY PLAY ALL THAT DIFFERENTLY FROM THE OTHER GAMES.

I still like Halo, but this comic was written by CWC. Prove me wrong.
>>292664574
Yes, but come on. Bungie did a ton of QA and Halo: Bible cross referencing for all it's graphic novels. 343i is basically saying "here's a basic idea, make whatever the fuck you want; we're just gonna pay you to generate hype for our game."
That's disgusting. I'm shocked that someone would actually let this happen.

Why are they just standing in a line out in the open? They just found 4 fucking spartan's dead and walked through the hallway a nightmares and they don't even fucking care. Shit, even civilians would be spooked and be taking it slow with cover.
>>292664786
It was written by Brian Reed... who is in charge of writing Halo 5. Fuck.
>>292664520
>see that which you fear... and attempt to kill it
But that's exactly what you're supposed to do. Literally, down to the last bit of instinct you have. If it scares the ever loving fuck out of you, kill it with fire.
>>292664943
Aw, dude. Dont fucking tell me that.
>>292649797
What, because of 1 flood spore? You're retarded.
So basically we can all agree that the story just ended with Halo 3, right?
>>292664842
This is dumb. On so many levels. That I cannot begin to describe the point of origin.
>>292665087
>suddenly they have a new arsenal of weapons
>>292664701
Is halo warhammer now? Souls exist in the halo universe?
Can't get over the fact that most of the halo 4 enemies just look like power ranger villains.
Is there any indication that Bornstellar/IsoDidact is still alive?

>>292659317
Whats "HAUAH"?
>>292665437
Their weapons drop in the games too. The weapons are separate.
>>292665437
What? They ran out of ammo and had slain Promethean weapons around. Just being practical.
That said...
>>292665205
I thought Didact intended to compose the human race to have a vast robot army to fight the Flood. Why the sudden shift to outright genocide?
>>292657172
>religious zealot
When was he ever not?
>generic monster
Yeah, I'm sure a lot of generic monsters talk in rhyme and such.
>>292665681
Its implied he is gonna hook the composers up to the halo ring and use that to do a tactical pulse in the Sol System to insta compose Earth.
>>292665681
"Because gigglefuck you canon purist," said 343 as it posed social justicely.
>>292665681
I thought in Halo 4 he intended to wipe out the humans since the Forerunners essentially fought against the humans.

Please tell me this is trolling. I understand taking creative freedom with source material and doing what you want, but jesus christ please let this end. This is truly another kind of nightmareThe worst part is I genuinely like Halo 4 and some of its retcons, but this is going too far.
>>292649505

No, Bungie probably did and then thought: "This is actually rather stupid, and a total cop-out to the idea of storytelling." And didn't scrapped it.
Meanwhile, what 343i thought was "how can we make more money?"

>>292668981
Think about what you just said and refer back to the first question.
>>292669056
The shield world is the composer forge seen earlier in the comic.
This is on a C&C EA butchering level.
So if everyone here is confused as fuck due to shitty art here's what happened. MC made part of the ring break off and set it on a collision course to the composers forge. MC was then teleported by Static Carillion to the longsword. The piece of the ring crashed onto the composers. Now this is where it gets weird. The Didact, according to his page on the waypoint website got composed because lol that's what happened. Even though he said the composer wouldn't work on his new form in the Halo 4 terminals (WRITTEN BY BRIAN REED).
>>292669043
OKAY SO LIKE. THEY ARE ON THE SHIP AND HE IS WALKING TO GET ON THE SHIP AND THEN IN THE LAST PANEL THEY TURN AROUND AND POSE. WHY DID THEY DO THAT.
Haven't laughed this hard in a while. Especially at the lego halo falling apart.
