Talk:The Covenant (level)

= Citadel =

A citadel huh? I'm thinking the Ark or maybe the Forerunner ship. Trooper117 18:43, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, doesn't quite seem feasable to have a citadel in the middle of nowhere...58.160.123.44 09:58, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

I agree its probable the Ark as of "the storm" we broke the Covenants hold on the Ark --MCDBBlits 08:45, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

Just a Reminder
This is the achievement name for this level and probably not the name of the actual level. Trooper117 18:43, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

Spoilers
I added a spoiler warning because of some information I regret reading. Please be more responsible in the future or don't add spoilers until everyone has a chance to finish the game. E93 01:24, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

Flood
I bet someone at bungie thought "Hey ya know through the whole series so far the player has gotten oppurtunites to battle against and alongside the marines, sentinals, and covenant.Wait this could be the perfect time for the flood to work with the player." Come on, I think that it is so cool having bad ass scary, fearless monsters as reinforcements is awsome, AWSOME!(0nyx Sp1k3r 03:09, 5 October 2007 (UTC))

Weird
Im not sure if anyone tried this, but last night I decided to ride the Phantom Arbiter and 343GS take near the end of the level. After a few seconds, it disappears and you plummet to the ocean below. Is that trivia worthy? Kap2310 20:49, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

Arbiter's Killing Truth One Liner
Is it really true he says Asshole you must die? I have been watching clips of the campaign on that particular cutscene. I am too lazy to actually go and play back that section of the level as I don't wanna fight off the Scarabs just to hear him say this. Is it true though?

I'm 100% sure it says asshole, not only can I hear it, if you think about it it's a perfect line. This is the Arbiter's moment of glory; he gets to say whatever he wants. He's demeaning Truth by using such a menial, yet effective, insult as he [truth] is going on and on with his "I'm so awesome" bullshit. That's probably my favorite line in all 3 games beause it fits so perfectly,

Uhhhhmm... I would eat my socks if that is what the arbiter said. None of the elites every talk like that! They are too proper. I've played that level 3 times and no one has every noticed him say asshole. It just wouldn't fit. I'll leave it for not because you seem willing to start an edit war over it, but I'm quite certain he says "and so", not "asshole". As soon as I can verify that it is and so, I am reverting it. Anyone else hear "asshole"? -- Couchpotato99   (talk)   (contribs)  03:08, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
 * UPDATE: Here's a youtube video of the cutscene. The quality is bad, but you can hear a "d" and no "h" or "l". -- Couchpotato99   (talk)   (contribs)  03:14, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

The point is that the elites never talk like that-this is a very unique moment. I'm not 100% sure (the first chance I get I'll watch it with subtitles), but it sounds like the emphasis is on the first syllable, which you wouldn't do for "and so" and would for "asshole." For now I'll put both up and leave it that way until I've watched it with subtitles.

Well, it looks like I owe everybody an apology. I watched it with subtitles and the Arbiter does indeed say "And so." While I still think "asshole" is better, I'll change it. -A very sad the_more_deluded

breaking the barrier
I was just playing this level on co-op and we were getting to the top of a mountain by grenade jumping and when you got to the top you can obviously see the barrier that you need to take down to get to Truth. But my friend feel down a little crack in the land/wall and it said loading done and we were past the barrier without taking it down. You could see the citadel and if you walk along the edge you can fall without dieing. When you get to the very bottom you can only walk in a very small area or else you drop dead with no explanation! It is pretty cool and I thought that you might want to add that to your article.

Skull Issues
Ok, I am having issues with the I Would Have Been Your Daddy Skull. I have done EVERYTHING that is required in order to obtain it. I started from the beginning of the level, killed Truth, and all the Flood, and then jumped in the rings in the correct order. However, it did not give me the skull as it should have. Any ideas?
