Talk:The Commissioning

Page has been officially created. I'm not the best with descriptions sometimes, so if anyone can make it make more sense/be more descriptive (the answer is yes, they could), by all means. Flawedspirit 01:25, 5 June 2012 (EDT)

Interesting. . . .on the holotable in File:Commissioning-3.jpg, one of the readouts states; Last contact with UNSC: 3 years, 4 nights, 3 days. Either the Infinity has really gone far out to find the Chief or 343i is being cute. k4karnage 01:08, 12 June 2012 (EDT)

Well I guess that explains this(check the monitor in the lower right corner) then... I thought it was some sort of plot twist in the game, but it turns out to be a simple easter egg... Bummer... DJenser 13:05, 12 June 2012 (EDT)

That might be on board the Dawn... ProphetofTruth 13:12, 12 June 2012 (EDT)

It is aboard the Dawn; something that I forgot to mention in my previous entry. Sorry for the confusion. I had thought that maybe there was some sort of plot twist or discrepancy that would explain why the UNSC had been in contact with the Dawn a year and a half AFTER it had disappeared. In retrospect, it obviously went right over my head that it was a placeholder date/easter egg... DJenser 14:24, 12 June 2012 (EDT)

Gravity

In part of the trailer, the ship tilts and Mammoths slide to one side. If the ship has artificial gravity, wouldn't the gravity be at the floor of the ship, so tilting has no effect? If the gravity went out with the power, and things were being pulled by Requiem's gravity, it wouldn't be so strong, considering the ship is still outside the planet.

Simple physics: The vehicles are parked perpendicular to the length of the ship. That being the case, they would have done exactly what they did when the helmsman threw the engines into full reverse. In that event, it's not just gravity, but also inertia that's causing the movement. Given the fact that the ship was pointed straight at the planet's surface at that time, the tilting was probably a cinematic device used to force perspective (and create a heightened sense of drama) for the audience. The ship's artificial gravity was actually fighting against the Infinity's own inertia and Requiem's gravity well, keeping the vehicles (and most of the people) on the decks, albeit sliding foreward, rather than cramming everyone & everything straight into the fore of the ship in a spectacular and messy fashion.
