Talk:Prologue

Anachronism section
Regarding the paragraph concerning the augmentation section, the sentence from Fall of Reach is quite ambiguous on its own. Even in our present time, most of the 2012 Olympic athletes look nothing like those in Scanned. Seems like you're thinking of the jocks depicted in our common entertainment media... oh, anyway, I suggest this entire paragraph rewritten or removed: I would prefer removing since it should always be the case of "game canon being superior".— subtank   04:05, 8 November 2012 (EST)


 * I doubt Nylund was being THAT exact when describing the S-IIs pre-augmentations, and I doubt he'd know much about the anatomy of athletes. He just intended for a basic impression of "young but really buff", and the Spartans seen in Scanned seem to reflect that better than in Prologue. But Scanned isn't the only source. I've also noted the S-IIs' appearance in the Halo: Fall of Reach comic book, and they look about the same as in Scanned. Tuckerscreator (stalk ) 13:00, 28 January 2013 (EST)

Isn't there a way to rewrite the "Spartan's armor" paragraph without stating things like "The most prominent inconsistency", "Halsey couldn't have known it", "The Visual Guide retcons the suits as Mark IV"...? I think it's pretty much established that these armors were simply a Mark IV variant from the get-go (In the same way Fred's helmet isn't a Mark V(B) but rather a Mark IV variant, and so on...). Same for the energy shields, which were field tested and thus aren't really an inconsistency (Field testing them throughout the war is still much more likely than having them coming from nowhere in 2551 for the Mark V). Of course I'm not implying that the explanations should be removed, I'm just suggesting that we rewrite some lines so they look more like "This can be explained by that" rather than "This is an inconsistency but it can still be explained by that". Casual fans may be confused by so-called "inconsistencies" while in fact those are inconsistencies only until you find out the explanation. The existence of boosters which are not part of subsequent armors is an interesting point though. Imrane-117 (talk) 09:36, 24 July 2013 (EDT)

Brute fight
The short clip of John fighting the Chieftan looks a lot like a continuation of the Starry Night trailer for Halo 3. There are even piles of dead Brutes around. Alex T Snow 06:22, 11 November 2012 (EST)

Name
Should we rename this, along with Epilogue, to "Halo 4 Prologue/Epilogue"? We don't have "Credits (Halo 3)" nor "Credits (Halo 2)", and it's a good way to stay away from disambiguation pages. —  SPARTAN 331  22:00, 16 November 2012 (EST)

Well, currently none of the other games have levels titled Prologue. I'm unsure. Tuckerscreator (stalk ) 22:40, 16 November 2012 (EST)
 * Well each game has dialogue before and after gameplay, but no cinematic is specifically referred to as "Prologue" or "Epilogue" that I'm aware of, I'm not sure either.Colonel Grade One.png Col.  Snipes  4  50 Colonel Grade One.png 22:59, 16 November 2012 (EST)
 * Since there are no other pages with that exact title, I don't think there's any reason to disambiguate this one. Wherever we have the chance, it's best to keep article titles as concise as possible. --Jugus (Talk  | Contribs ) 12:09, 19 November 2012 (EST)
